Stupid app deleted a large list twice!!

I had high hopes for this app as I needed a tracking app to manage on my to do‘s. I liked it's functionality and useability. But there are a few very frustrating things about the app.

First, as soon as I opened the app the very first time, a pop-up window came up asking me to submit a rating for the app. That's ridiculous! I wasn’t gonna give a rating for an app that I haven’t even used yet. I couldn’t X out or close the window too! I had to submit a rating to get rid of it, so I submitted a one star rating. Then as I used the app over the next couple of weeks, I would continually get that rating pop up pretty much every time I used the app. Once the reading was submitted it should’ve gone away. I shouldn’t be asked for a rating every single time I’m using the app. Because of that I continually submitted ratings under 3 stars.

Second, and what’s worse though, is that it deleted a large to do list of mine twice! The first time I was trying to delete a sub to do in the list on the iPad app and it deleted the entire list. There is no undo functionality either, so I was just beat. I re-created my list as best I can although I am sure I left out a bunch. And just now, it deleted it again!! And this time I wasn’t even deleting anything, I don’t know why it deleted it! I was trying to add items to it but it freaked out and deleted the entire thing...again. I emailed the company, but their only contact method is via a feedback email in the settings page on the app. Their developer website page is in Japanese and I didn't see any ways to contact them their either. They never responded to the first feedback email...not that they probably would have done anything anyway. So now I have to find another app to manage my to do‘s because I’m not going to give them another chance to delete all my stuff. It’s a shame I liked their functionality but they really need to fix the bugs in the iPad app. All these issues did happen in the iPad app only. I didn’t seem to have any issues when using the iPhone app, but as they are linked to sync via iCloud when the list got deleted from iPad it got deleted off my iPhone. I couldn’t stop it from being deleted off the iPhone. If u want to use, I would stick with the iPhone app only or turn off syncing between the two.

Too many crashes!!!

I just downloaded this app but whenever I use it it crashes my iPad Pro. I am using the latest system update (14.2), so there’s no excuse. (To the developer: please fix and I will be happy to upgrade my review.)

Very good for to do list

I like it very much. The only thing that it is very annoying is that the rating window pops up to ask you for your rating all the time. You can get out of it until you rate it the app.
I have decided to deleted since you should not be force to rate an app you have bought to use.
I do not recommend this app. Please be aware of it.

If you get this app and watch the introduction tutorial

You will completely understand exactly what to do with this app and I for one am way excited to boost some productivity cycling it in with the rest of my app Arsenal. Thanks for coming up with a unique and fresh task management system guys!

Not the best UI, especially for iPad.
Maybe worth it because other planners can be only subscription based...

Just a Little More Love

I'm giving this four stars for the concept and how it could be very useful. Hopefully, it will encourage the developer to give it one more try. I was actually excited when I first started playing around with the app and watched the tutorial. But, alas, it is yet another promising app that has left us before their time for update heaven. I guess Apple updates are a huge pain for app builders, especially those who are not attached to a huge company and have limited time or money, perhaps even going solo. (Though I will say, some of the bigger companies seem to have had a few mishaps along the way as well). They probably labored hard at first, but tired due to the time spent having to keep the app compatible compared to the dwindling returns they were receiving for their labors. I think this app is very good and could be great with a little more love, but as the other post explains, it crashes most every time when you move a task to positions on the calendar. He said he didn't hear back from the developer, so I didn't even try. Maybe if you have an outdated ios and have lost your favorite apps due to updates, you might want to give it a try? Otherwise, check to see if it has updated recently. If not, then at least on an ipad 6 running the latest ios 12, you don't want it.

CRASH CRASH CRASH

How do I get my money back? The app is UNUSABLE! This is a SCAM!

I really like but......

I really like this app however every time I add a to do to the individual day, it crashes. Really good concept and very easy to use, just crashes...

Love it but ...

Don’t be fooled by high ratings. At some point in the demo, they put up a rating pane that requires you to pick stars or stay stuck. That said, I really like this concept, but as others have said, when you move tasks, either between days or sometimes back and forth from the task ‘bucket’, it crashes. And no development for a year ... no fix of this complaint. This could be a killer app. It’s more for immediate scheduling since the calendar scrolls week to week and no way to get farther, like to next month or beyond, without scrolling it ... and scrolling it. No pencil support. Writing is so much faster. It would also be great to be able to color code your tasks. This is exactly the way I’m working in an analog planner. I have a pile of tasks to try and remember in various lists, then I pull from those lists for the immediate weeks and shuffle things around as needed. If they put alarms or reminders on the tasks, even better. Developers, don’t abandon this. It’s kanban on steroids. Very cool idea; needs work. I’d buy it if it just didn’t crash every time.

Great Concept, But...

This is a great app if you want a decent, free, digital to-do list. However, when I add a new task, and then again when adding that task to a day, the app crashes. Every. Single. Time.

Please fix this!

It crashes

Nice app, but it crashes.

Don’t buy

Can I get a refund? App crashes every time I create a task.

Simple

Update
I am guessing that the developer of this app has moved on. I will definitely update if things change. I have sent multiple emails and have received no response. Also the app is constantly crashing now with the update on the iPad. My advice stay away even though I do like the simple concept. It will be crashing constantly on you.

I have sent multiple emails to the developer and have received no response back. Be careful if you are relying on this for anything important. I will be more than happy to change it to five stars when and if I hear back from the developer.

Please help me!!

What the heck?!
Your app is crashing every time.
Can you do something really fast or give me refund.

iPhone X

I love this app. So update, plz.

Awesome awesome to do list app!!

Hello! This is the best to do list app I’ve used to far since it does what I need it to such as tasks per day.

I would love to see the app be able to have a weekly view to see my week ahead all at once and the tasks I have planned versus swiping per day to see.

Also, if I could have a full screen with just that day and the tasks without the little bucket at the bottom where my tasks are initially created that would be great. I don’t like how that bucket is always visible.

I would also love if the app had different color themes!!

Thanks for everything I cant wait to see this app improve!

This is very simple but hugely clever.

I've been doing this very thing in my paper bullet journal. I use a master list of things I have to get done, I prioritize them, and then I block them into my days. This makes it so much simpler and faster. And, I only have to create the task/project once, then just keep moving it forward until it's done. Perfect. I hope this app stays this simple and excellent.

Finally clicked

All I can say is that this suits my brain more than any of the dozens that I've tried.

Pretty decent organizer.

Still learning. Am hoping I can hide the completed tasks at some point.

Interesting, but unfinished

It's an interesting approach, but seems unfinished, more proof of concept than a product. I like simplicity, but it's really just too minimal. And doesn't have the necessities of a widget and robust share support. We'll see whether the dev takes this any further.
