Reminders is no match for Super Planner
Not for me
Hopes Restored
I only wish for few more touches for an improved user experience (geared
toward power users.)
- Tasks show up on calendar events / appointments in the daily summary, like regular Activities.
- Swipe left and right to switch days in summary view like calendar.
- Favorites accessible on task swipe (too many steps to add or remove a favorite)
- Callback url support (links to other apps) within task and event descriptions — like http:// URLs are highlighted and tappable.
- A description / note area in summary view for daily notes (like descriptions in Calendar events, Activities and Tasks). An area to add some notes/inspiration/intentions for the day (above your activities, events and tasks).
Thank you for breathing fresh life into the app and continuing to improve and refine it.

Thank you for your updated feedback. I understand your concern regarding the updates, with the last one released three months ago. The upcoming release is a major update packed with new features and improvements, which is why it requires a bit more time to complete. I appreciate your support of SuperPlanner, and I’m confident you’ll enjoy what’s coming next.

Almost perfect
Secondly, some of the interaction can be tedious, if I need to add multiple tasks to an activity I have to click done and then press the + button, please make this more intuitive by using the return key to move onto the next task, again, I’m very surprised that this isn’t implemented already. The placement of the button is also quite annoying and would be better at the top of the screen with the other buttons as this is where the eye naturally looks for these sorts of things.
If you do not assign a task to an activity or a day it just sort of gets lost somewhere & must use the search function to find it again, it does not go to the inbox as I would expect. I would also like to see the activity blocks being used better. If I have a 3 hour event for example, instead of just a big empty block it would be useful to see info such as notes or tasks filling up that space instead of having to click in and out of boxes all the time.
The overall usability & navigation of the app is not very intuitive & I find it quite cumbersome.
I would like to see an option for postponing an activity for set times I.e 5/10 mins etc rather than having to manually adjust the start/finish times, it’s time consuming to do this when I just need 5 extra minutes before starting something (like if I am held up talking to a colleague) - this would be very very useful as a watch feature.
With that said, I’m very happy using the app, it’s useful, not over complicated and the premium features are worth the cost. Only essential data is collected & offers a one time purchase also, both huge green flags for me, the subscription is very reasonably priced regardless.
Good but doesn't fit
I'll definitely be back If you add the ability to drag/drop lists into the calendar, or just the ability to add lists as an event.
Right now I have to shedule every task seperately (which is fine and a good feature) but I want to be able to just add a task to a list and not have to shedule it all the time.
Also, not a deal breaker, but consider adding a "show details" setting where user can see the tasks/subtasks in an event, directly on the calendar view without clicking on it to reveal tasks.
Response from developer
Thank you for providing your feedback, it definitely helps to understand potential areas of improvement for the app. Regarding your comment, I suggest trying the "Day Summary" feature, which is accessible via the button on bottom-left of the timeline view. This allows to see all activities and tasks for the day from a single view, without having to individually opening each activity. I hope you give another try to SuperPlanner in the future, but I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts based on your initial experience. Best regards, Gabriel.
The Best Calendar/Task/Time Blocking app available
If you want to know what I'd like to see added to SuperPlanner:
I'd love to see the developer add the ability to assign durations to tasks. This would be a total game changer as right now, users must guess/estimate how long a task will take and add them to activities. But if I have a task list that shows a total time estimate based on the individual task durations I've added to each task, planning would be beautifully fluid and simple. Besides that, multiple views (right now it's just a day view) including, weekly (customizable n days) and upcoming list view would be amazing. Plus, reminders integrations and a "today" list that's accessible from the main screen (not calendar) would be awesome.
Response from developer
Thanks for your amazing review! I'm glad to hear that SuperPlanner is meeting your needs and making it easier to manage your activities and tasks. Your feedback is invaluable and helps me understand what users find most beneficial and potential improvements for the app. Regarding the "today" list that is not the calendar view, I suggest using the "Day Summary" view, which can be opened from the button on bottom-left of the calendar view and shows all tasks for the day in a list grouped by activity. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts! Best regards, Gabriel.
Lives up to its Name
##### What I like about it:
There’s a lot to like.
- Like the different approach of an activity based planner. Each activity (which can also be an iOS Calendar event) can have any number of tasks associated with it. This approach helps you to focus on the details of what you want to accomplish during the scheduled time segment. And it also works with All-day events as well.
- Tasks can be infinitely nested (rarity).
- Has a dedicated inbox.
- Great notification system that when you tap on a notification it brings you directly to the activity or task.
- Integrates with System calendar
- iCloud sync!
- Good Privacy practices
- Multiple beautiful icons to choose from
- A responsive developer who is open to your ideas and feedback (he got back to me the same day I sent off an email)
- Covers multiple platforms with one purchase (iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch)
- Apple Watch is first rate (which is rare in my experience). The developer put some thought into it, rather than just being an afterthought, which you find in many productively apps. There is an apparent care put into the usefulness and user experience.
- There is even a cool time circle that updates in live time the amount of time left in the current activity — right on the complication. Great for tracking how long you have left in the work day, for example.
- Also you can easily access every list you have and check off tasks too (super cool and great for shopping lists). I do wish you could add tasks to lists and to the inbox, but maybe that will come later …
###### In summary …
There are a few things I’d like to see, like a quick task entry from the app icon, notes for calendar events to show up on the day’s schedule like regular activities and for activities and lists to display their notes on the Apple Watch app … and some other things I’ve submitted to the developer …
Overall, I think SuperPlanner definitely lives up to its name. It feels to be a carefully crafted app — on every level it shows a polish of excellence. I believe its future is bright.
