Hour Blocks: Day Planner for Negative User Reviews
✓ Family sharePurchased this with a gift card for family sharing. App will not or populate to share with family as it states. Both IOS are updated to 14..Version: 6.1
✓ IntegrationI think I am liking this app but I do wish it was integrated with my google calendar.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Crashes after downloadGreat concept! However, it crashed after download and now won’t open..Version: 1.1
✓ Settings/optionsWould like to see option to hide night-time hours, for example, don’t show 9pm to 6am It is super-quick & easy to allocate tasks to hour blocks but, for me, I’ll continue to use my calendar app and will uninstall this app.Version: 1.1
✓ Disappearing Sub-BlocksPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a setting to allow me to see the sub-blocks from past hour blocks! This will mean the difference between me being able to use this app and not. It would also be good to be able to save and repeat entire hour blocks, including sub-blocks, but that’s not as crucial for me..Version: 6.2.3
✓ GlitchOverall the app seems very promising and I want to use it because of it’s simplicity but I’ve found that my hourly schedule will disappear from the database of the app when I close it and I have to wait for it to glitch back in or rewrite it. But if I try to rewrite it the app will just crash completely once the previous glitch has corrected itself and only the date will appear on the schedule page, everything else on the app seems to be working perfectly though.Version: 5.4
✓ Has potentialI was excited about this app and thought it was exactly what I needed to help me be organised. But, it won’t sync between my phone and iPad which is a major drawback. I’d love the feature of being able to click a tick box when something is completed instead of having press and hold before deleting completed actions. This has the potential to be great but isn’t what I hoped for just yet..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Nice appI would use this app but i do not seem to receive any notification when the hour is up to alert me.Version: 5.4
✓ Would use more, but...This is a great idea and solution. I have to find an alternative because I’m not able to edit as easily as I’d like. Hopefully I’m missing it, but there should be a way to display previous time blocks. Not being able to see the earlier times really hampers my usage. If you could swipe to switch between days, too, that would be so much easier..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Not the bestI don’t understand why you would use this app? It makes no sense, not the best UI, and it’s only by the hour? Use apple calendar instead lol.Version: 6.2.3
✓ Feature suggestionGreat app, but I wish there was an option to change the times. There’s only one option for one hour, but I want to make the time blocks longer or shorter.Version: 6.0.4
✓ Not working properlyKeeps freezing and buttons aren’t doing anything when I click them. Also as I click a day to add my tasks they don’t go back to the home where the other dates are there. I have to reopen the app to see different dates. Maybe needs a quick tutorial or video on AppStore..Version: 5.3
✓ Great, love layout but major crash bugsIt should be easier to plan days ahead like maybe a scolling feature to click through days. Also every time I want to add a new task it crashes really really badly..Version: 5.4
✓ Crash on Launch!It doesn’t load when “Enable Calendar” permissions from your Apple calendar is turned ON. It crashes immediately for me. iOS 13.3.1.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Could work, except it doesn’tConcept is great, interface is clean, but it crashes and then doesn’t open again rendering it useless..Version: 1.1
✓ Not what I thought I was paying for.Didn’t have the ability to set daily tasks on the to do list menu which is the information that the widget displays..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Not working properly as crashesKeeps crashing out of the app after about 20 seconds using it. When i switch between the 3 tabs at the bottom it crashes out back to my home page more or less everytime...Version: 3.2
✓ Has potential, but is very buggy right nowHas potential, but is very buggy right now.Version: 5.4
✓ Sadly doesn’t work at all on new iPod.Oops. Timing all messed up. Doesn’t work. And I bought it the limits of hours was related to the unpaid version..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Maybe I’m Missing Something....I was hopeful this would be a great app to help with time blocking. I saw it promoted on iMore and while it looks pretty clean, what you see is what you get. In other words, there isn’t much functionality beyond what you see. Drag and drop isn’t a feature which the developer explains in his blog but nonetheless leaves me feeling let down. It integrates my other iCloud calendars but it doesn’t schedule around them. It shows the events but I still have empty spaces in the Hour Blocks section of the schedule. I would think the app would recognize scheduled events and not leave ‘empty’ spaces when I have events. I see a lot of potential with this app but it’s not very usable for my in its current state. I’m not trying to be negative but I do want to be honest for others looking for an app that takes advantages of all the iOS API’s and feature sets. This app misses the mark and since there is no ‘trial’ or any real video of actual usage of the interface, you might find it wasn’t the best usage of you money to find out how it works..Version: 6.0.5
✓ Doesn’t sync to google calendar?This app looks awesome and I wish I could use it but it looks like it won’t sync with google calendar. It only works with the iPhone calendar. :(.Version: 4.3
✓ Needs smaller than one hour incrementsI had to delete this immediately after installation (I should have read more reviews)-I need half hour blocks of time. A full hour doesn’t keep me organized..Version: 5.4
✓ So far so goodI love this app because it breaks your day in hours. I just wish the blocks were bigger so that everything you wrote would be displayed for that particular time block and the sub blocks would be displayed as well. It would be easier to view..Version: 5.4
✓ This app crashes constantlyThis app has a serious problem every time I do anything on it, when I change from one menu to another, or when I set an activity. This is kind of annoying because when it crash I have to reopen it from home screen..Version: 3.0
✓ A light without the bulbGreat start but it’s missing is key features. Tons a room for needed growth. It’s a middle schooler trying to play in the big leagues. I like the general set up, the look, and general idea of how it works. Great start. You wont be able to find past schedule items so if you forget game over no moving it. Wanna move a schedule to a different time or day? Forget about it, not gonna happen. Wanna move a to do list to a scheduled time tomorrow? Nope impossible. Search past schedules or to do lists? No no no, I was it right why is it so they don’t want you to do that. Too helpful. Schedule something at 10:30 instead or 10:00? Nope impossible. You dont get to do thing unless it’s on the hour. It doesn’t link to your calendar although I guess half points because your calendar links to this app..Version: 6.2.3
✓ New Update ProblemsI really like this app and I find it super helpful but ever since I updated (maybe on Thursday? 24.09) every time I try to put in a block and then close the app, the app deletes my plans. That never used to happen and it’s quite annoying, please fix it soon..Version: 6.0.4
✓ Desperately needs sync supportNeeds to be able to sync with iCloud for use with multiple devices.Version: 6.2.1
✓ An app that almost is there but it lacks basic functionality which makes it useless.If you are looking for a simple day planner then Hour Blocks is almost the app I would recommend. Sadly it is missing basic functionality that makes a simple app to use to simple that it is frustrating and misses the target by a long way. 1. If you miss doing the task assigned before or within the hour assigned then forget about trying to edit it afterward to gain access to sub blocks or reassign it to another future time. You miss it because of a distraction during the assigned hour then forget about it. 🥶🤯 2. Sub blocks are uneditable after creating???? Delete and recreate is the only solution!!!! 3. If you want to move the hour block to another time then the only option it seems is a frustrating multiple button entry to move it to future. Drag and drop which is basic functionality for touch device seems to be missing??? 4. It would be nice to have a notes field for entry of stuff to remind you at time of doing the task. Forced to use sub blocks which can be a little messy. 5. Appointments made in Apple Calendar app get assigned to top of schedule instead of the hour block it correlates to. Good way to double book your time. While the app has potential for making an app which dovetails with Calendar for planning your free time for those daily tasks which aren’t so time dependant sadly it looks like I will need to keep searching for the calendar app that works for me. Hour Blocks almost made it for me but the missing functionality is a deal breaker and I suspect for most people..Version: 6.2.1
✓ Like it. Could be betterI love how simple the app is. It’s easy to use and easy to find stuff on it. But I wish there were setting options that allow you to change the time in time ta to 15 or 30 minutes instead of just one hour..Version: 6.2.2
✓ Great app but...... don’t seem to sync across devices even though it has calendars/iCloud access. Good looking and simple though!.Version: 2.1
✓ Sub blocksI purchased the hour blocks pro, but I’m uncertain how to access them? Or maybe I’m just really stupid and it’s obvious. Aside from that, i think it’d be more useful if you could plan an entire week as opposed to having to make a new schedule every day. Personally I know I’m never going to remember to wake up and set a whole entire day ahead of me, I like to set a week in advance and go from there. It is a good app though, don’t get me wrong. It’s simple and really easy to use..Version: 4.3
✓ Too basic...Needs much more work ! the option to hide hours and google calendar sync for. start... when added stars will increase....Version: 1.1
✓ No widgetI have used this before and I think last time I used it, it had a widget so you you could see your task when your iPhone is locked, but now I can't do that so it's pointless for me to use because I have to use the phone not just look at it in order to be able to see my hourly task..Version: 5.4
✓ Crashes upon openingLatest iPad Pro. Opens, then crashes. Shame as I loved this focused approach to the calendar. Feature request/question: Why does the calendar fill in black spaces from my calendar with “Work” as opposed to allowing me to fill them in? You did great otherwise!.Version: 1.1
✓ Great but reminders don't workThe one bad thing is the reminders don't work. I've changed the settings so it reminds you for upcoming hour blocks, but EVERY single day, the setting resets to "No" instead of "Yes". It's very frustrating, because oftentimes I'll already have the day set up before I check the setting, only to realize that it reset to "No", and it doesn't remind you for blocks that you created before you set it to "Yes". Aside from that, the app is very minimal, clean, and user-friendly. Unfortunately, the Reminders feature is a big thing for me, so that's why my review is 3 stars..Version: 6.2.3
✓ Like the concept, but a little basicI like the concept (a simplified version of time blocking), but this needs a few more features. For example, calendar events sit at the top (separately) rather than being integrated with the hour blocks, and are large so take up my whole screen. I can turn whole calendars on or off, but can’t remove or hide individual events. I also wish there was some way to colour code or categorise hour blocks, so I could see (at a glance) how I’m distributing my time. Likewise something like a ‘past week’ view would be nice. Hope it keeps getting developed.Version: 6.0.4
✓ A good concept for simple task management, but work is requiredI really like the idea, and the basic functionality works well. However, there are bugs and obvious missing features: 1) The calendar selector under Settings in the Mac app is buggy: I click the green calendar icon next to a calendar, and it flickers red, then back to green. If I close the app and reopen that panel, they have been deactivated though. The iOS equivalent, with the 'toggle' buttons, works fine. 2) I'm amazed there isn't iCloud sync of blocks. I expected that, if I added a task on the iPad for a particular hour block, it would sync to the Mac, and vice versa. Even iPhone to iPad syncing isn't working for me. (Note I'm on iOS14 and macOS Catalina, if that's relevant)..Version: 5.4
✓ Great idea, but the bugs make it frustratingI have to quit and reopen to keep the calendars I want "off". It just flashes back "on" in the settings. So that's really frustrating. Also, I did expect an app with iPhone, iPad, and macOS options to sync across with my iCloud account. So it would be nice if that could be added! Otherwise, this app is amazing. I love that I can hide the subtask list. It really works for my ADHD..Version: 5.4
✓ 1/2 hr blocks…1/2 hr blocks is not a catchy title but it would be more useful for me to have this app with 30 minute chunks of time. Otherwise it’s great!.Version: 6.2.3
✓ CrashesInstantly crashes. Can’t even open the app..Version: 2.0.1
✓ No updates?The app needs work to be optimally usable and I see no updates for 2 years. We are expecting some usability improvements as described by some reviewers since This is a paid app..Version: 6.2.3
✓ Doesn’t work!Keep getting message indicating that no internet connection available. Rubbish. Waste of time and money..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Difficult to manage calendarsI really want to like the app, but my efforts were hamstrung by constant crashes and a complete lack of QuickStart or manual. The biggest issue I had though was trying to sync my calendar; by default this added all calendars to the app, including those I am delegated on for others, as a result the timeline was filled with appointments that don’t concern me, and removing that particular calendar fails to remedy the issue..Version: 3.2
✓ Buggy beyond beliefReally nice concept for an app but completely unusable as it crashes constantly. Just randomly tapping between the 3 tabs at the bottom of the screen will reliably crash it every time..Version: 4.1
✓ Needs check boxes for subtasksI went ahead and paid the $2 because I wanted the subtasks, but it would really be nice to be able to check each subtask off somehow..Version: 4.1
✓ Setting changes do not save - buggy interfaceChange of settings (time display format, autocapitalization, etc) does not save. Also, cannot seem to be able to cancel an attempted block entry unless closing out app completely. As per functionality, it would be nice if blocks/sub-blocks could be added to todo list with long-press menu item..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Great Concept!Great concept behind the app. Easy way to organize yourself. There are some things that make it less effective than it should be: · Save new hour block categories. · Add the ability to customize these new categories with a set of icons. · Save sub blocks. For sub blocks that reoccurr often, having to type them out over and over becomes a pain. · Option to integrate with other reminder apps like the stock iOS reminders app or Fantastical. Don't like apps living in their own separate space. · Further integration between hour blocks and To Do list where a to do can be integrated inside an hour block as a sub block. I think these recommendations just might make it a must own iOS app!.Version: 6.0.4
✓ Good idea but lacks repeatIt’s a good idea for scheduling but I can’t find a way to set any given hour to repeat on a schedule. each day’s entry would have to be manually creates.Version: 6.0.4
✓ Function not working - Good start - needs fixI like the concept of this app but a key feature & function is not working. If the time a task needs to be changed, I tap & hold an entry but it won’t allow me to move to a different time block. IPhone 7+ (12.4). While the app is appealingly simple & uncluttered in its interface, there are annoying defaults (capitalization & symbol assigned to events) that could easily be editable by the user..Version: 2.0.1
✓ So where are the blocks?All this is is a list of to-dos disguised as hours. GUI reflects this. difficult to navigate, edit. “blocks”, which are just a segmented list are impossible to edit. and you can’t move them around. Honestly I don’t know what this is, but it’s not for me..Version: 6.2.3
✓ WeirdIt was great at the beginning and then all of a sudden it only had my time available for 2am to 7 pm :/ which wasn’t helpful at all.Version: 5.1.2
✓ Buggy asBuggy as.Version: 5.4
✓ So closeOh man this app would be absolutely perfect if it let you customize the block times. Not everything takes an entire hour……..Version: 6.2.3
✓ Too simpleThe app is too simple. It gives me no control. I can’t set a task for :30. Only by the hour (7:00). I can’t plan multiple days in a row. And there is no way to easily read something that’s long. This app is the equivalent of a to-do list on a sticky note without the power to put actual start times..Version: 2.0
✓ A shame.I really love this app, it’s clean and it’s neat. It provides me everything for the day, it’s great for planning at an instant tap. However, I cannot plan my days, as I’ve only found this app today and I was so excited but unfortunately the app wouldn’t want to work properly. Every time I put in blocks and try to plan my day, when I exit the app, it always deletes my plan for the day, presenting blank boxes. I really don’t know how to fix this. 😞 UPDATE: TO DEVELOPER: Thank you so much for your response! I understand now! :).Version: 1.3
