Wonderful, but…
This is a fantastic app design and I got so excited finding it, but my main drawback is that through the time blocking for activities in the day, it doesn’t automatically add the new task to when the previous task will end, so if you’re not great in terms of time blindness, scheduling it all can be a bit of a pain.

Exactly what I needed!
This app is clean, easy to navigate, and does exactly what it says. It’s helped me organize my daily tasks much better than a standard calendar.
Very helpful
For people like me that have a lot going on this app helps keep me on track.
Reminders is no match for Super Planner
I said what I said
Not for me
Doesn’t integrate with other apps such as apple lists or Microsoft outlook.
Hopes Restored
Wanted to update the review after your recent liquid glass update. I appreciate the work you put into. It’s re-sparked my interest enough to resubscribe to the pro. If all goes well I’m considering the Lifetime option.
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.

Response from developer
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.
High hopes dashed
Hardly any updates during period I subscribed for a year. In my opinion it is bold for any app to ask for a recurring subscription without consistent attention and development. Still a fine app, but it’s unjustified to charge a premium price and put the lifetime out of reach for most people when there is little life being breathed into it. Kinda regret that I invested in its development when it seems to have been halted or abandoned, when I was once so excited to have found this app. Because it was one the best I’ve ever come across.

I like the simplicity of the app so far
I’m Crying 😭💗
I have autism and so I rely heavily on time blocking in order to stay productive in my life. Although my weekly routine/schedule never changes, I struggle to remember it and have to see things set out visually in order to get a sense of where I am in my day/week. Even more so, I forget the tasks (always changing) I should do each week within the time blocks (never changing). I was searching for an app where I could have… *to-do lists within time blocks*. I thought I had already looked everywhere until I found this gem of an app. It does exactly what I imagined my dream app could do: to-do lists within repeating time blocks. And it even has simple color-coding and icons. I’m so grateful for this app and will recommend it to others. 10 stars!! 🌟

I don’t hate it
Would love a full calendar view feature! And maybe even an element of time blocking where you can drag and drop tasks.
Great organizer!
This is a well designed easy to use time-blocking app that has enough features to make a thoughtful plan but not so many as to slow down your thoughts.
Great App
It allows for images and todos with the ability to create sections to group similar todos as well as the way to see quickly and clearly the things on your daily/weekly schedule.

Thanks for your review! Best regards, Gabriel.
Almost perfect
Great app that is just missing a few things, firstly, it desperately needs a proper view system, weeks and month view are essential & basic features in all calendars/productivity apps, I’m very surprised they’re missing. Having a proper overview of your time is a must have and hope this will be implemented soon.
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 cancelled my trial because it doesn't fit what I need.
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.

The Best Calendar/Task/Time Blocking app available
This app does what Apple is trying to do with it's native calendar and reminders app in iOS 18, it puts together activities (events, but more broad strokes) and tasks. The app works seamlessly and the developer implemented significant changes that make it super easy to add new tasks and a watch app to keep up to date with your activities and tasks on the go. If you'd like to know whether the app is worth it, it 100% is for anyone who wants to manage routines, calendar events, and tasks in one place. Plus calendar sync, a fully functional watch app, and live activities to help you stay on track.
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.

Lives up to its Name
SuperPlanner is a unique and powerful day planner, project and task manager.
##### 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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and excellent review! SuperPlanner is designed to improve how we plan our days, offering innovative features and a user-friendly interface. Your feedback is essential as I strive to make SuperPlanner the best planning tool. Thank you again!
Nice calendar
Just wish you could zoom in on day view to see the whole day without having to scroll. Too much wasted space but still a good app.
A good start - lots of potential
This app has the potential to be great, but when first launched, there is no guide to how to get started. Add that and you might have a killer app.
