AI seems inferior to anything I can already do in other AI tools I use... The planner itself is just a pretty branded calendar template. I can use Notion for free and do everything that this app does there, and more, free of charge. Personally, I wanted to support the creator but did not find any substantial value in this product. ### 4/5 — i do like the planner but *2026-05-05* imo it's a bit pricey for if you want to use the planner only. i had to pay 9,99€ bc for some reason it didn't convert 9,99$ to the usual € amount (which is always less than usd) and 9,99€ a month is a lot for a planner. it would be really nice if there were an option to only use the planner if you don't need any of the other features (hiring a social media manager etc). i also want to give a little credit, though. i reported a bug in the app and it was visibly fixed in the next update, which was really nice! :) ### 4/5 — Grid planner issues *2025-11-08* I am really liking this app but the grid planner will not stop glitching. Photos will not stay in place, photos I delete reappear, when I add photos others vanish. ### 4/5 — It is a very good app *2025-11-06* It is a really good and organized way to plan my content. I just wish i could customize what type of content I am trying to film instead of only having a few selections 💕 ### 5/5 — 1000/10 RECOMMEND *2025-10-16* I originally used Workhorse to find a social media manager and was seriously impressed by how easy and fast it was to connect with great candidates. The Instagram planning and layout tool is also a HUGE bonus - it’s super helpful for keeping my content organized and on-brand!! Highly highly highly recommend for all your social media needs! ### 5/5 — OBSESSED!!!! *2025-08-16* The only digital planner that actually has strategy and grid planning involved! I’ve used Notion and I’ve tried Planoly but this is 1000x better and only gets better with each update so I’m hooked ### 5/5 — 10/10!!!!! *2025-08-13, version 1.3.6* One of the best digital planners I’ve ever used, you can tell someone in social media created it 🙌🏼 I saw Julia using it in one of her YouTube videos so I downloaded it and gave it a try and it really is so helpful! I never write reviews but this is one of my new favorite ways to strategize and plan content so thank you Julia!! ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2025-08-11* THIS DIGITAL PLANNER >>> I was already using this app before as a way to hire social media managers but now that I can also use it to plan and strategize my content I love it even more!!! Extremely worth it and constantly getting updated with new and helpful tools!!” ### 5/5 — So useful & absolutely worth it *2025-08-02* I LOVE Julia Broome - she makes everything an easy to understand and plan with social media. This app is a perfect support to plan your content, gather your ideas and give you structure to actually hit your goals. Definitely download! ### 1/5 — Couldn’t validate my location for my life *2025-05-07* Love Julia’s work and branding and content so I was super excited to download and use the app, except that I couldn’t actually put my location (literally London) and adding the allow automatically would just keep loading forever. Then every time I had to close the app I’d have to login back and I got stuck in the same step. This is a massive user painpoint that should be fixed ASAP because it’s preventing people from actually using the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-22* Downloaded after seeing Julia post on TikTok her slides and how you could make carousels in the app. None of the texts are available, so you have to make everything in canvas or something and upload. Kind of defeated the purpose for me. There’s so much extra stuff I didn’t need as a business owner. I ended up cancelling my subscription immediately. ### 1/5 — Deleted my captions 😭 *2026-08-02* I tried using the desktop version to plan my carousel post. I had all the pics uploaded and wrote a caption for each slide. When I changed the scheduled date and went back to review it, all the writing and prep I had done was gone 😭😭 I didn’t back it up either. Would be a great feature but I can’t trust fully planning without a backup notes file for all my captions. Or would love to know as a user if our work gets backed up to a cloud and there’s a way to recover it. **Developer response:** We're sorry for the scare, and thank you for the detailed report. To answer your question: yes, everything you plan in Workhorse saves to the cloud automatically as you work, so nothing lives only on your device. What you describe should not happen when changing a post's date, and we'd like to look at your account directly to get to the bottom of it. If you're open to that, email us at team@workhorsehq.co. We're also shipping improvements based on what you shared with us! ### 1/5 — Can’t use without payment? *2026-07-22* There’s no way to trial the app, just expects an immediate payment. There’s loads of free planners out there on websites like canva and notion. I wouldn’t bother with this. ### 1/5 — Broken (promises)? *2026-07-09* I was expecting exactly what’s shown in the description and images above but when I logged in, all I could do was press a “plan now” button that takes me to the “pay now” screen. Literally - that’s all you can do. Not trial period. No test drive. And asa far as I can tell - no mention whatsoever of the whole “swipe through portfolios” and “get matched with opportunities” features shown in the description. I don’t think they’re trying to bait and switch us. I’m a Julia fan and don’t think that’s her style - maybe there was a glitchy update or something? ### 1/5 — Expected better! *2026-06-27* The app is too buggy. Phone and desktop versions don’t integrate simultaneously. The UI for the desktop version shouldn’t be open to public yet. It’s also weird that when you move a scheduled post to a different day, the accompanying story ideas don’t move with it. Honestly, it’s too time consuming to make changes. The app looks pretty and offers great ideas and space for content creators to plan specifics but its functionality is extremely lacking at this point in time. ### 1/5 — Rubbish app. Really disappointed *2026-03-08* The app sucks. $9.99 a month for access when I could buy a planner as a one off payment and use that ### 1/5 — A waste of money *2026-01-23* A trial of some sort would’ve been helpful… this was difficult to figure out and not worth it. ### 1/5 — Too many glitches *2026-01-13* Kept getting error messages, nothing would save, on one page it has the correct content pillar but then on the other page it has a completely different one. Grid planner didn't work either. I thought it would help my content planning but it just stressed me and wasted my time. I reached out but got zero response. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-04* I purchased the content course as it said there will be access to the planner in the app. It doesn’t recognize my purchase and the customer service doesn’t respond. I’m happy to give a better review once I’m able to actually use the planner feature ### 1/5 — What’s the point of it *2025-09-17* I join to get hired as a smm or to at least schedule and organise my content but it won’t let me in unless I buy a $270 course ? lol thanks but no ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BUY IT NOW!! *2026-08-28* I feel like if I could have dreamt of an app this would be it, it’s like you’re own coach within the app! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-10* Love you Julia xoxo ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-08* Recently dived into this app after seeing it on socials. And honestly I love it. Keeps me in check ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-04-15* I love it!!!! 10/10 ### 5/5 — The best way to plan content *2026-03-29* I love how detailed this digital planner is for planning out my weekly content! It’s perfect! ### 5/5 — 10/10 no notes *2026-03-17* I have downloaded so many damn planning apps and have never looked back at them past MAYBE 2 times. I am obsessed with this. Julia crushed it, every detail, and the juice she gives in it??? Puhhhlease. It's seriously unmatched I am SOOOO grateful. I could cry. Thank you. Sincerely a type C girly who has 90000 ideas and now a clear and enjoyable way to execute and organize them🫶 ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE *2026-03-12* 10/10. i’m an avid planner and need to have everything mapped out and this organizes it within a central point. i manage content for companies as well as my person account. perfect for planning. i will say this is a perfect planner for organizing thoughts, ideas, and strategies. i still use another app to schedule the post or i post manually. My only note: would love to see a shot list addition here!! ### 5/5 — LOVE THE APP. . Manifesting a desktop version ✨ *2026-03-01* Tbh; the efficiency and effectiveness of the apps features are top tier. The only thing I suggest is for a desktop version of the app that connects to the mobile version. I do more of my content planning + creation on my Mac for the bigger screen. Otherwise: Workhorse is everything you need to plan your most successful outcomes. ### 5/5 — Loveeeeee this planner *2026-01-08* It’s honestly the perfect social media content planner app, I love the way it’s laid out! I wish we could access the digital planner on desktop, hopefully that will be available in the future! ### 5/5 — 5 stars but some requests *2025-12-26* Giving this 5 stars bc it literally has so much potential and I am a fan of Julia’s work. I would love to use this for my content creation and would like to let her know my suggestions!!! 1.) Need to be able to go to an already passed day on the “tasks” and check off things. Right now it says (past date) and is greyed out. 2.) need to be able to add more than just one content post per day to the planner. Perhaps create a “done” button after inputting your info so that u can obvi move onto the next one. 3.) describe/give suggestions for the pillars 4.) optional notifications reminders to post! I believe in you Julia! Keep it up! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
