No more flipping through pages with a physical planner!
 •Tasks are intelligently organized so that you don't have to do the heavy lifting - just add what's in your syllabus and let B4Grad handle the rest!
 •Today's classes are at the very top so that you don't miss them. 
•Intuitive Design keeps things simple for you, so that you can spend more time actually doing homework instead of organizing it.
 •Interactive gestures help you feel rewarded for getting things done. •We provide a bird's eye view of upcoming and past work by organizing a digital syllabus for each course. But There’s More! ORGANIZE CLASS EASILY Most apps don’t let you track more than just classes. With B4Grad, you can track lectures, labs, and tutorials separately – which can be especially helpful for college students. We can also remind you before a class begins, so that you have enough time to get there. With B4Grad, you will never miss another class again! THE ULTIMATE PLANNER Why spend money on a traditional agenda, calendar, timetable sheet, and more, when you can simply use B4Grad as your planner? Our smartphones & tablets are always nearby, and with B4Grad powerful capabilities, you can feel productive while also saving more. B4Grad even creates a personalized timetable and calendar for you. You can also attach Notes, Subtasks, and more to your tasks! STAY MOTIVATED B4Grad is designed to be highly interactive, so that the product feels great to use. Most other school apps get downloaded and left unused. B4Grad keeps you coming back though, as you can be reminded for everything from lectures to exams. Students tell us all the time how fun it is to use B4Grad, and how no other planner can provide this level of interaction and joy. Homework is more fun when everything feels so organized and simple, so students are motivated to get it done sooner. SAVE TIME Every workflow within B4Grad is designed to be efficient and easy-to-use. Don’t waste time with physical agendas or other tools that haven’t innovated in years, use a modern app to keep track of your academic career. By using color-coded tasks & beautiful iconography, B4Grad feels simple and easy to use. B4Grad is created by a committed team that listens to its users. When a common workflow requires too many taps, we try our best to effectively optimize the layout. CUSTOMIZABLE Homework is fun when your planner provides a wide range of customization. Select one of several gorgeous backgrounds in B4Grad, which all provide a unique look and feel. You can also set the color and icon for each class to exactly suit your needs. Homework has never looked this good!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyTextMate at 100% against B4Grad's 46%. MyTextMate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). B4Grad's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
