Dissapionting

Good idea but lots of stuff just doesn’t work

Essential

Of all the apps I’ve ever tried, this is the only one I’ve never cancelled and use every single day.

The best ever time

I love you all 😍😍😍😍😍❤️‍🔥

Excellent application

This app is the best of its kind that I’ve used. The flow, the UI, everything makes sense and works beautifully. It was a serious life changer during law school. The creator of the app also seems to be a swell person. I’ve been using the app for a while and they’ve periodically reached out to me to ask about my experiences, offer support, and solicit feedback.

Best planning app by a mile

Having tried so many different to-do / planning apps, Sunsama is in a different league to the rest. The ux is intuitive and when connected to my work calendar it does an excellent job of making it clear when I am overestimating my capacity (which is most days) and forces me to be more ruthless with prioritising my work.

Faithful user for years

The system works. Wouldn’t use anything else.

Love Sunsama but the app is just bad

I love Sunsama but it really doesn’t make sense for me to use without an app.

In the app however, there are so many bugs. It’s so, so bad. New events don’t show up. Calendar Events that I see in my desktop app don’t show up in my iPhone app. I can’t find any options to configure calendars. The burger menu on the upper right just shows an empty sheet. If I wanna create a task for tomorrow and add a time it always puts it on the wrong day. It’s incredible how something like this made it into the AppStore. Unusable for me.

I wish it was it

I have ADHD and work as a founder of a healthcare company. Not every productivity system app will suit my needs. I require something reliable, bug-free, and highly mobile-friendly, considering my frequent on-the-go lifestyle.

Lately, the mobile app has been plagued with numerous bugs. For instance, planned times don’t persist, task names can’t be changed, duplicate tasks are added to the calendar, and more. Compared to alternatives like TickTick, Sunsama loses its appeal when priced at $20.00 per month and still has these issues.

Sunsama, while user-friendly, has redundant buttons that lack labels, making navigation cumbersome and not truly user-friendly.

On the other hand, I can pay around $35 for a whole year of TickTick without encountering any issues. What I appreciate about Sunsama is its intentional approach to planning and shutdown, allowing me to plan with purpose. However, this intentionality alone doesn’t justify the higher price when the app has persistent bugs.

In my opinion, I need a workhorse productivity app, not a designer one.

Unusable for edits

When adding unpinned tasks it is impossible to re-arrange them in the list. Calendar pinning leads to duplication. Impossible to work with the app when trying to edit your schedule on the go

Absolutely awesome

This app has been life changing for me. I get more done each week than I used to in a month. I’ve been using it for years and the tech has improved greatly while still focusing on GSD. Couldn’t be better for someone looking to improve their time management and productivity.

iOS App lässt zu wünschen übrig

Wieso ist dir iOS App so kaputt? 😣 Jetzt kann ich die Aufgaben nicht mehr mehr tap+hold verschieben? Das ist einfach so nervig. Und vor allem nachdem der Preis noch so massiv angezogen wurde! Ich liebe Sunsama grundsätzlich sehr, aber die iOS App ist ein Graus! 😣

Letzte Bewertung:
Ich freue mich, dass ich inzwischen auch Apple Calendar nutzen kann.
Toll finde ich auch, dass man für den Testzeitraum immer wieder ein neues Angebot bekommt, wenn man ihn nicht genutzt hat. Das war jetzt vermutlich mein 4. Anlauf und endlich nutze ich Sunsama.
Drauf gekommen bin ich durch die Empfehlung einer YouTuberin, die Sunsama schon ziemlich lange und intensiv nutzt. Es hat gedauert, bis alles so eingerichtet ist, wie ich es brauche, und vermutlich bin ich noch nicht ganz fertig damit. Das ist okay.
Allerdings ist die iOS Version extrem buggy. Da werden manchmal die Tasks nicht geladen und man muss einmal den Tag wechseln, um sie wieder anzuzeigen. Am schlimmsten ist aber die Kalenderintegration. Erst mal wird immer das Google Kalender Zeichen benutzt, auch wenn es der Apple Kalender ist. Dann will man einen Task verschieben und ändert versehentlich die Dauer. Besonders kleine Tasks lassen sich mobil kaum verschieben. Das geht eigentlich nur am Desktop gut. Manchmal verschwinden Tasks auch einfach aus der Kalender anzeige. In der Task selber ist der Termin noch gesetzt, aber in der Kalenderübersicht fehlt er.
Mir wird immer deutlicher bewusst, dass hier die Integration schief gelaufen sein muss. Vielleicht noch mal nen iOS-Developer mit Erfahrung konsultieren? Es wäre einfach toll, wenn ich meinen Tag gut im Kalender planen kann. Das bedeutet für mich auch, dass ich Aufgaben einfach verschieben kann und mir angeboten wird, Tasks, die sich überschneiden zu verschieben, statt dass sie dann gleichzeitig stattfinden.
Hier ist noch sehr viel potential.

Perfect

I’ve tried a ton of similar apps over the years and keep coming back to Sunsama. It implements all of the features that work for my flow better than anything else.

Clean and focused

Best task manager app I’ve found; integrations are great with calendar and the flexibility helps me use it as I want and it adds a little peace and order to my hectic work schedule of changing priorities and tasks

ADHD Relief

I’ve been using Sunsama since 2021. It has been invaluable for managing time. It was so helpful that I asked my work to approve the Asana integration so that I can time block work AND personal life in one view.

FYI the DESKTOP version is where the real power is at. Although the mobile version has most of the same basic functionality, I really only view the mobile version as a task collector throughout the day. I do all scheduling, planning, and management on the desktop and it’s fantastic.

So much potential but too clunky

I’ve wanted an app with this functionality for awhile but this falls short on intuitiveness and fluidity. They need to really workshop the experience to justify the price tag. You can’t charge this much and not even try to compete with the fluidity of ToDoist. I know the functionality is different, but the functionality is not useful if it’s too painstaking to use. Also, why do I have to drag every single tasks to the bottom of the list when planning my day? It’s a huge pain if someone is trying to block their day in pomodoros. Just let me add it to the end! And the founder or whoever will literally send you an email every day. Like stop sending emails and fix your app!

Miserable login feature

This app practically sets you up for failure because when I attempt to revive my account, I never receive the confirmation email (tried twice with two different Gmail accounts with no success). Then I manually tried to enter an email to make an account and there’s an automated message saying I need to go to the “app website”?? to establish an account. This app IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. You’re better off getting a physical planner and handwriting your tasks. I will never use this app again.

모바일 사용성 떨어짐

몇번이나 제보했음에도 데일리 플래닝 & 데일리 셧다운 기능의 오류는 개선되지 않고, 툭하면 튕겨져 나감
모바일 못챙길거면 대놓고 업데이트 안할거다 공지를 했음 좋겟음
이제 이탈 예정 다음엔 좀 어플도 신경써주기를

Calendar takes over 5 seconds to load

The calendar takes forever to load, l’ve counted about 5 seconds at times. To make matters worse it often loads the previous days calendar for today. Support refused to fix this, I’ve emailed them multiple times about this

Great for desktop

Very helpful app for the desktop version, but the phone app is still quite limited and not super easy to use. I hope they keep making improvements because I love the concept and use it on my computer all day.
