TimeBloc - Daily Planner for Negative User Reviews
✓ FaultyApp stopped working after two days.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Latest update sucksUnable to open the app anymore after latest update..Version: 1.8.4
✓ GlitchFor what you ask people to pay for this app, it’s pretty faulty. I’ve tried to delete the same routine over and over again and it keeps reappearing? And I’m getting notifications for events starting, that are suppose to be later in the day….Version: 2.9.1
✓ Honestly DisappointingI downloaded this app after receiving an ad for it on Instagram. The app portrayed itself and the way that made it seem like it was going to offer routine advice based on specific astrology information. After downloading the app and being intrigued by the first few pages of inspirational information on getting your day organized My ADHD self decided it might be worth it to pay for the subscription. After spending quite some time with trying to get comfortable with the app interface I find it far too confusing and unfortunately not user-friendly enough. Although the app interface seems like it would be simple enough with tapping of buttons my experience has been one that was more of frustration than anything. And as a result I feel adverse to using the app and like my money was wasted. If any of the company members read this review I might suggest just trying to make it more user-friendly. And if you’re someone who has any learning disabilities or even a slow to process this app might not be the best for you..Version: 1.9.2
✓ EhI love this app ISH. The app functionality is great but there are so many glitches I wish I didn’t pay for the full version. I have weekday routines saved but I’m notified for every single weekday event in the weekends and I have nothing set for those days and shouldn’t get 8-9 notifications for events that aren’t happening. Also, the widgets work occasionally. I have adhd and I assume many people using this app do. I need the reminder visible on my phone via widget and if they won’t work it’s useless. Lastly, I paid for the bundle and have emailed support TWICE. I paid for it because I wanted the to-do list app they advertise as part of the bundle. However, the app doesn’t exist. “App unavailable” is all the App Store says and redirects to the last page. I am genuinely irritated by the lack of response from this company and the embarrassing amount of glitches in this app. I like the general idea a lot, but wish I didn’t pay for it and you shouldn’t either..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Easy to use but could use an upgradeI like how simple it is to add events. And the morning routine makes things more simple. It would be great to be able to have more icons as the ones I see just aren’t that relevant to my activities! A small thing but when paying for it, it is annoying! I wish there were a few more clever features (like predicting what you will enter based on previous entries) but it is straightforward and gets the job done..Version: 1.8.6
✓ If this had a week view, I’d 5 star itLove this, visually and as it functions. I just need to see my 7 days at a glance. Please include the option in future releases!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Boring and below standard of expectationsWould not recommend there are more efficient apps that would do a better job of your daily planner..Version: 1.9.1
✓ Like the app but it keeps freezingThis is a great app for anyone who likes to time-block their daily schedule. You are able to set up ‘tasks’ that you do daily as Routine tasks so you only have to worry about scheduling in your tasks each day for the time in between. The problem that I am having with the app is that every couple of days the app freezes and won’t open. The only way I can get back into the app is to uninstall it and reinstall. No biggie but I am paying for the subscription on the app and when I uninstall it I lose all the Routines’ I have set up so I am basically setting up the app again like the first time every couple of days. I have submitted a ticket or email to the app tech support but have yet to receive a response. I am only continuing to use the app hoping I’ll get a response soon. If I don’t I’ll delete the app and come back here with a different rating..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Calendar PukePlease do something about the annoying up sale for the growth bundle. I’ve already said NOT INTERESTED multiple times. I DONT WANT IT!!!! I have already paid for an app that is very disappointing why would I want to buy more? I’m trying real hard to use this and get some value out of it but this stupid up sale is making it very difficult. This is a useless app. It is not a true time blocker. It spits out your calendar just like your calendar does. I feel cheated that I paid $12 for a year but am so glad that I’m not paying $60 a year. What a waste. Also, after paying for a subscription that’s not enough. They constantly try to upsell you a bundle of apps. I said no the first time so please leave me alone..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Doesn’t workI pay for premium and haven’t send me any alarm to let me know anything.Version: 1.15.1
✓ Ok, but not fantasticOverall, the app does the basics of what it is intended for. A few criticisms: • Setting up Routines is incredibly tedious. Incredibly. Tedious. •Tag colors are shown as a small line on each block of time…I’d prefer the entire block to have the tag color for easy at-a-glance assessment of your day. The tag colors barely stand out, making them almost useless. •Icon options are pretty sparse. •Waking/going to bed times is too fixed. Even with the Complex option where I can set different times for different days, I can’t change the time for a one-off event. If I need to leave for the airport extra early one day, I can’t change my waking time for just that day. •Premium features are practically non-existent. From other reviews, it sounds like you’re hassled constantly with pop-ups to buy the premium version…all it really gives you is freedom from those pop-ups. I don’t have any more functionality with premium than I seemed to have with the free version. I paid ten bucks for the year of premium, but I may check out other time blocking apps to see if they are more user-friendly and flexible. This one is just OK..Version: 1.12.1
✓ App not workingUnder normal circumstances, I’d give this app 4 stars. I use it for my to do lists so I know when I need to do each task. Today, however, the app will not load. I’ve restarted my phone and checked for updates but no luck. I’ve been sat for 30 min not knowing what task I’m supposed to be doing and trying to get the app to work, therefore making me fall behind. Good app but clearly not reliable..Version: 1.8.5
✓ I like it, but it needs workTo be honest I love the app it helps my OCD and Anxiety a lot but it also stresses me out because the widget for the home screen dosnt work, it’s quite confusing and a bunch of other glitches, please fix this!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ SCAM! DO NOT BUY!!!!This app will advertise a one week free trial. DO NOT PURCHASE IT! They will charge you full price right away and Apple will refuse to process your refund. Stay away if you value your money.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Don’t download unless you intend to buy premiumIn the first 10 seconds of opening the app for the first time, I was shown 4 pop-ups advertising for their premium version. I opened the app for a second time and was instantly greeted with another pop-up. It takes annoying advertising to another level..Version: 1.8.9
✓ Widgets don’t work!Spent agggggges putting my routines in and the app itself is nice and straight forward. But the widgets don’t work! Tried deleting and re adding, tried restarting phone - they just appear blank. The widget was the whole reason I chose and paid for this app! So not great..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Pushes premium subscription constantlyI honestly have no clue if this app is any good - adds to purchase a subscription popped up so often that I deleted it. Don’t make a free version if all you are going to do is spam people with pop up adds to upgrade to premium.Version: 1.8.6
✓ App doesn’t workStuck at loading screen.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Doesn't Sync All Calendar EventsStructured (another third party app) shows everything so not a data issue - this app just shows me partial information about my day at this point which is useless to me when trying to plan my day.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Great simple app but Coding flawsOverall it’s a great little app and pretty to look at. But the fact you have to open the app daily to get notifications the following day is a pain. I went 2 months with no notifications before I realised. When my notification pops up I have a habit of just swiping to clear it. I don’t need to go into the app to read it again! I have it linked to my Work Calendar which is really helpful but not when you forget to open the app the day before! That really needs some work..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Good - needs improvement2 features it needs improvement: 1. Show variable block size, e.g.: when a task takes half an hour vs 2 hours, show the size difference, it visually helps people register that one task is longer than another. 2. Allow users to change block background colour, right now it’s same for all. This too allows a visual person to easily distinguish between their tasks. Both help in easing the customer cognitive overload. Hope a product manager is reading these reviews. Otherwise overall a neat and simple app for time blocking..Version: 1.8.6
✓ I was happy until…This app had the simplistic, but convenient features I needed. Too bad, the developers can’t keep it working past a couple days. App freezes, requiring a reinstall to use again, at the cost of losing all your routine data, which was the best feature over similar apps. My schedule is the same every morning, but my afternoons & evenings are different by the day, but the same week to week. Being able to enter all that ONCE & have it pre-populate everyday, allowed me to see just when I had the time to plug in special appointments, errands or tasks. It’s what I needed. Then it just stops working. I reinstalled the app on 5 separate occasions so I could use it, but I lose all my routine data every time. I want to use this app, but it won’t let me. Checking, I see this issue is over a year old for users, so now I have to give up on this company..Version: 1.8.6
✓ Kind of usefulThey really badger you to get the subscription. i just want to keep my plans in one place but i can’t do that without being reminded of all the lovely benefits i could have if i wanted to pay for a schedule. it does the job of course but wouldn’t recommend, mainly because there is such a big difference between the non subscription and the subscription. just want a good scheduling app..Version: 2.9.1
✓ No backup, no iCloud, no web appThis was an app I used every day, but no backup or data sync led to the loss of my data when a crash required reinstalling the app. As a result, I cancelled my annual subscription years ago after one month. I occasionally give it another chance. Now the app keeps offering a massive discount, but then attempts to charge the highest price - an amount double that of rival apps, and still no iCloud backup, and no web app, or desktop app. App Support has refused to respond to my complaint..Version: 2.10.0
✓ Not greatNo option to repeat same blocks daily. I’d have to input daily..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Price feels unjustifiedFeels overpriced. For example my to do list app is available on more devices, has cloud back ups , integration with other apps and costs less than this app. Seems like much nicer and more convenient way to time block than using my calendar app but not at the current price..Version: 1.8.6
✓ BuggyGives me notifications for future events randomly, want my money back.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Promising with opportunities for improvementI discovered this app because of the developer’s other apps packaged in their Growth Bundle: Do, Tally, Gratitude, Last, Done, and Moody. Those apps have a gorgeous UI. The functionality of this app is good but it falls down on design. For instance, there is a lovely palette of colors in the Growth Bundle apps but this app makes picking colors difficult because you have to poke and poke until you get one that’s ok. Being able to directly input the hex or RGB codes would be an improvement but sometimes less choice is better. I’m not a designer and would prefer to have some colors that go well together already picked out for me. The typography is ghastly, mostly it’s too big and the font seems homely. The inability to change the color entries from the purple makes everything seem undifferentiated and it all blurs together. There is a dearth of icons—bring over the ones from the Growth Bundle! Overall, this app is an unpolished ugly stepchild in their stable of phenomenal products. TL;DR If it was consistent with the look and feel of their other apps, I would have subscribed..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great app but really glitchyWas using RoutineMeister for awhile but hated that I couldn’t easily move tasks around on the fly. When I found TimeBloc I was THRILLED because it’s so easy and fast to use...until the glitches started happening. One, when I moved tasks around, the times would not automatically update so it would show it all messed up like tasks at 7am, then 8:30, then 7:15 again. This basically defeats the purpose of the entire app. Also, I would get notifications of events that were happening on some other random day show up... And there is no contact on the developer app site to report bugs so...guess I’m SOL. ☹️.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Does not work for irregular schedulesI don’t work 9-5 so this app doesn’t really work for that. My bed time is 2am and the app will not allow me to schedule anything between 12am-2am because it’s technically the next day. However, when you are looking at a single day it shows time slots for every hour between your wake-up time and your bedtime. So if I’m on Wednesday it will still show me 12am and 1 am since my bedtime is 2am even though that is also technically the next day. I do like that but I hate that it won’t allow me to schedule anything between 12-2am so they show up as blank showing ”add event”. The appeal of this app is the visual aspect of it being a straight-forward vertical schedule all lined up and filled out. Yet I’m left with a few blank hours of my day where I can’t even schedule anything, and not only does that confuse me visually but it’s just not helpful. I’m not willing to pay for the app with the hope that premium would give me the features I need since these are pretty basic features that should already be a part of the free version..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Good app turned badThe simple calendar mode made planning a day possible in a few minutes now one task takes the time it used to build 4-5 tasks! Sometimes simpler is better. Shame as the app filled a nieche. Won’t update app on my old phone as the functionality is better there. Shame I updated it here!.Version: 1.17.0
✓ Constant self promotionSpent the first 2 minutes using this app trying to escape from the ‘purchase premium’ ads that were littered/hidden everywhere through the on-boarding process as well as the actual main interface - for example, having an ‘event’ for my ‘special subscription offer’ stuck at the top of the screen, taking up 1/4 of the viewable space, that will sit there for 24hrs (there’s a countdown clock), and I’m assuming will return in some form at random intervals for ongoing subscription ‘promotions’ with no way to manually remove it without accepting it. If you don’t want to offer a properly functional lite/free version of your app, then don’t - just make it paid. FYI endless self promotion is even more irritating than crappy third party ads, because you’re intentionally wasting my time and drawing my focus with your own product, WITHIN your own app - and in an app designed to supposedly HELP people be more productive and organised. Waste of time and energy..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Incessant prompts to upgrade, scammy pricing!I had this app on my phone for a couple minutes only — while setting up, I got the same pop-up at least ten times, trying to prompt me to get the premium subscription. I wanted to see the pricing of the subscription (I did not see it listed on the app or pop-up at all), so I pushed the button to subscribe, and it turns out that their subscription is 12.49 for the first year but would renew at 124.99! Absolutely ludicrous!! It’s hard for me to believe that that subscription is anything other than an unethical money-grab..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Not as detailed as it could beEvents can’t carry over to the next day, and there’s no option for exact minutes when setting events..Version: 1.12.1
✓ TerribleI downloaded this app yesterday and paid for the annual subscription for the premium version. Today, the app wouldn’t open, so I reinstalled it only to find that it no longer recognises that I’ve already paid for the subscription and I can’t add more than two calendars unless I “redeem my limited time offer” for the annual subscription again!.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Wont OpenI have never written a review but I am so disappointed I decided to leave one. I’ve had this app for about 24 hours. I planned out my week and paid for premium. Today, I wake up the app wont open. I powered off my phone and tried using data to open it but it wont get past the first screen. I am very disappointed considering I spent money on something that I can’t even access..Version: 1.8.6
✓ NotificationsI really love this app and the way you can organize your day, except for the fact that the free notifications are inconsistent and the widgets show the wrong hours(app or phone problem?).Version: 1.12.1
✓ Crashed After 6 monthsI do not normally leave reviews but I would hate for someone to have what happened to me, At first I thought this app was great - then it just randomly crashed. I lost everything - all my appointments (I’m a hairdresser) so you can imagine - nightmare, then I find out there’s no back up saved to anything!! I’ve gone back to a good old fashioned diary… lesson learnt,.Version: 2.7.0
✓ Would be great if the app actually worked.This app was exactly what I was looking for in terms of being able to see my day, block out the hours and add recurring events. Too bad it no longer works. After trying out the app for a couple of days and committing to the time pressure of the subscription discount I paid for the premium version. A couple days later the app no longer opens and I’m stuck staring at the logo. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app (which clears away all the tags and routines you set up) and that only solved the issue for a day..Version: 1.8.4
✓ The Growth Bundle is Bullsh***Literally paying for this bundle and one of the apps are set up to acknowledge or integrate the fact i have a subscription so frustrating absolutely does my head in.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Silly little problemsGreat app and is really helping me be more productive in my day and do all the things I need to do. But, there’s some silly annoying issues that need fixing. Incorrect notifications: sent event alert notification for the wrong event Pulls through calendar events despite all being deselected The wide home screen widgets don’t work Would also be great if you could copy/past routines as I’d like to have broadly the same but then make a few small differences for example for different work rotas.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Not functionalJust set up the app and imported a few calendars. Right off the bat, the app detects events on the wrong days (I have a repeating event every Tuesday evening and this app shows it every Wednesday for some reason). Removed and re-added the calendar and the issue persists. Shame because the design is so nice..Version: 2.9.0
✓ No longer works…Used to think this was great. Refreshingly simple and good integration with calendar on iPhones. But it no longer opens on my phone. Perhaps the developer is t keeping up with IOS updates? Please sort it out. I have paid sir something for the year that I can’t use….Version: 1.10.0
✓ Scheduling issuesI am not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but I am having trouble finding a Copy/Paste option for schedules. I would love to make a schedule Monday through Friday that is the same, while my weekends tend to be different each week. It seems tedious to have to recreate each schedule everyday, every week, every month. Is there is an option to do this? I thought about upgrading to premium, but I do not see a list of features that the premium version offers. So I am hesitant to spend the money to find out the premium version also doesn’t have this. If this feature was added, this app would be an easy 5 stars. If I am just missing it, then an easy 4 star..Version: 1.12.1
✓ In consistentWhen I sync my calendar it ads events to the wrong day. I have Monday events appearing in my Sunday schedule. Also notifications are inconsistent. Some don’t arrive at all and others after the event has passed. Super annoying as it was the reminders that I was most interested in..Version: 2.9.4
✓ TERRIBLE!!!!I wanted to use this app to time block my days. It “appears” recommended but after adding it, removing it, adding it again, I have no paid for two subscriptions, that Apple will not give me my money back (and how do you sell someone two subscriptions to the same app??). Even now, I open the app and it won’t let me do anything, it just offers for me to buy the premium subscription AGAIN —- for the 3rd time?!?? I already have two subscriptions… neither of which work, and that I can’t get my money back!!! Turn away now… this app is a money pit!!.Version: 2.9.1
✓ They charged me when I unsubscribedI unsubscribed to this app and they still charged me I am not using any of their products again.Version: 1.8.7
✓ I feel like an idiotI paid for premium because I thought it would let me view my schedule in a traditional calendar format. I paid £20 for literally nothing. Upgrading gives you nothing extra at all. I liked the free version so much I was willing to pay just to see my month laid out all together. But now I just wasted two hours of earnings on nothing.Version: 2.10.2
✓ Annoyed I paid for thisI admit, I got sucked into the aggressive upselling into the paid version of this app (before I’d even had a chance to try it) so that’s on me... but now I’m using it, I struggle to see the point and wish I hadn’t paid. The app doesn’t remind me of switching to new tasks, there is nothing to check off so I know I did it or not off, every single task is an annoying lilac colour that you can’t change and the different categories barely show (just a tiny thin line). I could do the same thing in google calendar and at least get reminders (and have colour coded event types that actually show colour coded). Just not sure how this is at all helpful, regret paying..Version: 1.8.3
✓ TERRIBLE APP, STEALS YOUR MONEY $$I purchased the TimeBloc app with the growth bundle but the purchased growth bundle wasn’t recognized on the other apps. They did not respond to MULTIPLE inquiries through Instagram. They are THIEVES. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. 0/10. They should be ashamed..Version: 1.12.1
✓ The new update sucksIt’s horrible and complicated please get rid of the new update.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Probably not for red/a-type personalitiesI really want to like this app, but when I connected it to my calendar, it seems to completely negate the point of the app... why would I pay for this when everything has to be scheduled and is easier to move around in a calendar than this app? The routines are only good if your life has routines. Maneuvering time blocks around appointments is tedious and my red personality doesn’t like it. There are things I’d like to do on specific days, but I also have appointments to maneuver around. Here’s what I want to see in a time blocking app: make a list of time block items that can be dropped between synced calendar events either manually or automatically. Have routines be flexible with this as well..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Safety concernThere doesn’t seem to be a login which is concerning. You also can’t use it across multiple devices so not a great tool unless you only use your phone.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Confusing and around $30 dollarsI think the app is great but I can’t get it Bc it’s money and i think the fact that I go to download it and clear space for it in deleting other things just for this app to find out that I won’t be able to get it Bc it cost money so my Suggestion for the owner(s) of this app is to ether make it free or just make the app cost money so that people to go to the work to clear space and get the app just to find out that it cost money and not just a few dollars but like 30 dollars and that is just crazy just for an app that allows you to keep a good schedule so really just make it free or make the app cost money so people know before they buy it thank you for reading this hope it helps..Version: 1.11.1
✓ Confused how this has so many positive reviewsI have used numerous routine and time management apps. This is one of the most expensive at £53 per annum. It does enable you to create a routine. However, if you run even five minutes behind, there is no way to adjust your routine accordingly. For example: My morning routine runs for two hours. I implement nine different actions during that period. Clean teeth, walk Dog, strength, training, Coldwater exposure et cetera. If I am late on the first activity. I have to individually change the time of each other action. This is incredibly time consuming and defeats the object of a time management app. Life gets in the way, delays occur. The same problem occurs with every entry, hence my app a positive review. If I missing something, I’m happy to change this review is the developer tells me how to use this correctly. However, I’m a smart guy, there is no instructions, so I’m left to figure this out on my own. My conclusion is that this is a wildly overpriced in time-management application. I’m not keen on leaving negative reviews. However, this is so overpriced, and relatively useless necessary on this occasion..Version: 2.9.0
✓ WHY IS THERE NO IPAD APP??!!This app is EXACTLY what I was looking for to block my time for working at home...on work, home, and other tasks. I would 100% pay for the premium version and use this app IF THERE WERE AN IPAD APP! Right now, it’s one of those crappy apps with the expander arrows in the corner that never turns landscape mode on your iPad. I have a keyboard case that I religiously use with my iPad and I HATE having to finger type when I can type with a keyboard at 100+ wpm. I don’t like having to crane my head sideways to see my schedule, either! PLEASE MAKE AN IPAD VERSION!! Also, being able to color-code events/appointments imported from calendars, as well as double-booking time (for instance, during my daughter’s piano lesson, when I could be doing something else as well) would also be great..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Poor customer serviceI’ve spent countless emails over the last few months trying to get more information about a functional issue I have with the app and no one has responded to me. It’s infuriating and as a result the app is useless to me. I noticed that data dropped off after a period of time so I couldn’t go back and access logs from before a specific time period, nor export the data, and without either of those functions it doesn’t serve the purpose I need it to..Version: 1.17.0
✓ OverpricedGarbage.Version: 1.9.1
✓ It’s ok. Could be better.It’s a nice app. It’s pretty and easy to use. I would have liked to add subtasks. Also you have to open the app daily to get your notifications for your schedule which is annoying. The widgets don’t always update. It would be nice to be able to check tasks off once completed..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Very pushy premiumSo I don’t mind paying for things in an app, or even paying a subscription if the service is worth it, but those are never decisions I make within seconds of downloading and opening an app for the first time. I want time to get to know things, see if it’s even worth it. I deleted this app 30 seconds after opening it because during those brief seconds I had to say no THREE times to paying for premium. I got three different “special discount” offers! I understand you need to make money. But let me decide if I even like the app. Let me get to the front page! I was actually so excited for this app because I need something like it. But this pushy sales tactic put me off so fast. Ask me once, sure, but why do you think it’s a good idea to ask me over and over before I can even get through after I’ve said no? No means no..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Tiimo is betterThis app has really limited features. I use a different one called Tiimo and it’s 1 million times better. If you’re unsatisfied with this one I would definitely go check it out..Version: 1.10.0
✓ Good but glitchySeveral times this app has crashed, one time it made my whole phone turn off, and the other, it affected my home screen when opening folders and made the background black. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the app or with my phone but it only happens in this app. despite that it's very good but I don't like how it says "add event" or whatever for every hour interval because my schedule doesn't work with those times and they're taking up space on my screen.Version: 1.8.1
✓ BadBad.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Easy to use but color coding not a fanEverything stays purple.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Good app to plan your dayI really like the app and it’s potential. But the apple widget is somehow connected to a different time schedule and is never accurate at predicting the time of my next task.Version: 1.14.0
✓ Lots of little issues make it almost unusable...I really want to love this app, but there are lots of little issues that sometimes make me consider deleting the app all together. It is a great idea but doesn't feel polished enough. I think if the developers tried using their app on a regular basis they would see the issues. It's fine if you want to set it up once and just look at it every day but not very good for the changes that may come up throughout the day if you like to adjust it as the day goes. Overall it feels clunky to use. I hope someday they'll fix this app so I can love it as much as I want to, and rely on it as much as I would if it worked well..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Incredibly stupidHi. I normally don’t write stuff like this but I downloaded this app and it was so bad that I had to say something to warn future installers. First off, you can’t even create more than one routine without paying for a subscription. I personally find that annoying but I would be willing to look past it if the app even served its purpose correctly. Whenever you create an event, IT DOESN'T EVEN REMIND YOU OF THE EVENT ON TIME! That’s only the entire purpose of the app in the first place! It reminds you like at least 20 minutes after the event you put in already happened! Honestly, it’s so pathetic. Another small detail is that the settings for the events are much too rigid and barely allow for any flexibility. All in all, this app is the worst. If I could rate zero stars, I would. Super disappointed. Would not recommend..Version: 1.8.0
✓ I do not want this subscriptionYou hid the payment details I need a refund. You made it so there was a big continue button over the payment details and I didn’t know I was subscribing to a $50 app. Please refund me..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Not able to upgradeI liked the app but I am unable to upgrade. When I click on upgrade, it doesn't do anything.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Time zones don’t always workWhen I sync with existing calendars it doesn’t recognise that I am in a different time zone so puts exisiting events on the wrong day.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Great Idea...App Just Doesn’t WorkI downloaded this app a couple weeks ago, and I love the concept, especially since I couldn’t find something exactly like this on the App Store. I even paid for the premium version because it seemed so neat. It took me a few days before I made time to set it up (the irony of having to block time to set up my time blocking app 😅) , but it was great once I didn’t. The problem is that the app stopped working within 2 days of me setting it up. I’d try to open it, and it would just refuse to open. I wouldn’t get any notifications either. I restarted my phone, made sure it was updated, force closed and reopened it...everything. I reached out to support and they took a couple days to get back to me and it started working randomly within that time span. Then it went back out as suddenly as it started working. I’ve gotten a total of maybe 3 days of functionality out of this app, and it’s beyond frustrating. The only thing stopping this from being a 1-star is because I genuinely dig the app and had a great time when it worked. I’m stuck waiting for support to get back to me about an app I purchased and can’t use. Issa shame..Version: 1.8.6
✓ Great except for some bugsThis app is fantastic for timetabling and planning out each day. However, I’m having an issue, even after the latest bug update, where the widget on the Lock Screen and Home Screen will say “nothing due today” and “all done for today!” even when I have an event actively scheduled and happening at that moment. Also, I’ve chosen which calendars to sync but they are showing up. I really want to use and love this app but it just doesn’t work right! Disappointing because I pay for the premium bundle :(.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Scam offersThe special offers showing huge discounts are false advertising…the full price is shown when you click to pay. If you continue and pay thinking it’s normal then they’ll offer lifetime membership instead of a refund. Months later they haven’t fixed issue with incorrect pricing..Version: 1.14.0
✓ TRASH!!!!!!Literally only lets you set one thing and you have to pay to do ANYTHING else. i don’t know why y’all promote this app when you can do nothing without paying + doesn’t let you change when you wake up and go to sleep?!?! useless app. i would give it a 0 stars but you gotta pick one :((((.Version: 1.12.1
✓ I don’t want the Growth bundle ad, it is overwhelming to meCould you update maybe?.Version: 2.9.4
✓ Had high hopesI loved the idea of this app and spent so much time the first day I downloaded it creating routines and trying to see how everything worked. There was a sale on premium that popped up when I tried to do something (not even sure what) that required a subscription so I purchased it thinking this app was perfect for me. I should have researched more, but only being available on the phone (no iPad or browser version) makes this app almost useless. In the few times I’ve managed to use it on my phone, I’ve had multiple times where tasks don’t show on the correct day or time and I have to redo my entire day. It would be so much more user friendly if there was a computer version or even being able to use it in a browser. I really wish there were more icons to choose from as well or that you allowed emojis in place of them. I really don’t plan to use this app at all, but I’m hoping if I check back in a few months that there are some improvements that make it worth it. Until then, stick to a regular calendar because this is worse..Version: 1.8.1
✓ This app sucksI turn on the notifications so it would give me notifications when a new time block started but instead it would just send me notifications saying ”Are you ready to plan your day” which I already had except I was behind because I didn’t know when time lock started would not recommend 👎.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Can’t stand itNot enough room for notes.Version: 1.11.0
✓ Glitchy. Useless. Not worth the moneyI get notifications for the same “activity” 4 times at once. My calendar is supposed to sync, but the schedules don’t show up on the right days. (If I have something in my IOS calendar for Sunday, it’ll show up as something on Monday). I’ve paid for the service, and I keep getting pop ups every time I open the app for their “growth bundle”. I try to delete my set “routines”, they keep popping back up, and therefore doubling over newly scheduled activities which results in countless “error” messages. Honestly save your money, it’s absolutely useless. What a waste of 76$.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Very limited, cannot share between devicesWish I had realised that you can share between devices. I regret upgrading to the paid..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Ok in conceptThis is ok in concept, and I even paid premium (really wish I hadn’t). This doesn’t even do some really basic things that the native calendar app does. My routines send notifications on every thing every thing in them every day - when some events don’t occur daily. That defeats the purpose of a reminder - now it’s just noise because it’s irrelevant and I’m ignoring them. The only way to repeat an event is to make it part of a routine - which then causes the above issue with notifications. Can’t see anything but a daily agenda view. Would be great to see a weekly or monthly view. It seems pointless to run this app and keep calendar appointments in it - because now I’m managing two schedulers..Version: 2.9.0
✓ Looks Ok but is it better than my calendar?I’m not really sure what benefits this app has over just using my calendar? Would I pay $90 a year? No! Even the discounted price of around $18 for the first year is a bit much. I apologise to the developers, as they have obviously worked hard to polish this app, but it’s just not worth the subscription price..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Calendar bugIf imported calendar events are at 8pm or later, they show up on the following day. Please fix.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Looks nice but missing major featuresIt would be nice if this app had the ability to check off if you have completed the tasks or not. If not maybe you can reschedule it for another day. The app looks nice and seems easy to use. But i wish it had more features. Paid 15$ for “premium” and it doesnt seem any different from the free one. Overall I'm disappointed..Version: 1.8.1
✓ 5 stars till last updateI don’t like the new update. Before it was easy to see where I had time to fill but now you have to put it all in..Version: 1.16.0
✓ Not executed too wellWhile the idea of the app is great, it’s not overly user-friendly, it often won’t open (gets stuck on the logo page and I have to close it and open it again), and sometimes the notifications don’t go off. I’ve used better apps..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Way too pushy selling upgrade after upgradePurchase premium then have constant nagging to buy more stuff. Urgh. Regret purchasing.Version: 1.14.0
✓ 1 out of 5OK if you want a very basic day view - hour by hour. But I paid for premium and it doesn't give me any added value. Annoyed ive paid. Needs a week view for your planner rather than just daily. And would prefer to be able to tick things off when complete. Which unfortunately you can not do. You can't delete anything thats been added directly from your calendar either. Would be helpful to change colour from purple for different events. Not just have a tiny colour in the corner. Which I struggle with as it's not clear..Version: 1.12.1
✓ This app doesn’t need a subscription modelI paid for a subscription and have seen little to no benefit - just charge us for the app and make your money that way - app has not been useful at all and has little to no impact in organising my life - was honestly better off with a paper calendar as entering information is unnecessarily complicated and cumbersome.Version: 1.11.1
✓ I really wanted to like itHonestly, I was so excited about it. I saw this as an excellent tool to organize myself and my kids. But I work overnights. And apparently events can’t cross over into the next day. So me logging my shifts in isn’t something the app allows me to do. So I can’t easily log in other aspects of my day. I REALLY wanted to like it.Version: 1.10.0
✓ Not the bestIt was good but it’s very annoying how it’s very expensive and it does self promote A LOT. I mean personally other apps can do the same but a lot cheaper. It was easy to use but it just frustrates me a lot when it’s self promotes..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Nice potential when it works until it doesn’tI used it for a few months and then after updates when I tried to open it it was just blank and don’t load up (it was after about 2 months that I subscribed for premium) and then it billed me again even though I paid for a year. So I asked iTunes to refund me the second payment that was extracted from me as I have used the app for only 2-3 months and I shouldn’t be billed again until the end of 12 months). As the app I had didn’t load up, I deleted it and downloaded again, and now it shows as regular like I didn’t pay the yearly subscription and doesn’t let me to restore the purchase. So bottom line, it didn’t work when I paid for it and now it doesn’t let me restore the purchase after re-downloading it. Instead of helping me organizing stuff it was a total headache when it stopped working..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Potential - great look!Having issues with my routine. Looks like there is no way to duplicate a day so now I’m stuck adding every event I need for a different day in my routine. For example if I workout every day at the same time, I need to manually add that workout event to each day. This is very tedious when I break my day into 15 minute blocks where I have many events needed on multiple days. The app should ALSO have the ability to select multiple events in the suggested events and order them by time automatically when I submit. That would be great. Other than that, it’s a nice app so far. Also after turning on notifications they don’t work quite right. I have a routine in place for every day of the week. I get notifications for events at specific times even when it’s not the correct day. So I have 5-7 notifications when I should only get one for the event at the current time..Version: 2.9.1
✓ Not goodThe calendar app is better. This app is just a fancier version that costs $65 a year.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Deal breakersPersonally the preset wake up and sleep times are ridiculous and frustrating, just too annoying to deal with. get rid of them and i might actually use the app. limited features without the premium version, the app has potential but just too many restricted elements. i understand you have to make money but it’s a bit much for a student just trying to organise their life for free. good luck to developers, hopefully someone can harness the potential….Version: 2.9.2
✓ 😧 Ahhh!!! Why?I painstaking took the time to work out my schedule and routine via the app and now the app is not launching. The developer website is not working and I have no other recourse than to leave a comment which I never do. I would really like to get in contact with someone and my money back!.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Perfect apart from one major thingThis app lacks synergy and that is its major flaw. For a start you can bring events in from iOS calendar but you can’t say create an event in TimeBloc then it updates in the calendar, it’s only one way. The iOS app is also not available on M1 Macs, there is no desktop version or a web interface. This is problematic because I am not always looking at my phone, I look at my computer more. So the app is perfect apart from this one aspect, that you can’t use it on anything else other than iPhone, or even sync it with calendar both ways. If you could do one of those things I will change this review to 4 stars, if you can do both then I will change this review to 5 stars. It would also be great if you could reset statistics in the app..Version: 1.8.3
✓ This sucksYou can't use it unless u buy subscription.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Needs to be betterFirstly, I do not like that it uses your fingerprint to charge you for the subscription. I’m only used to using my passcode to pay for things on my phone and the finger print I use to Log-in so it caught me off guard and caused me to pay for a subscription I did not want. Another thing is what a few others have mentioned with getting the subscription screen every time you log in. It’s very annoying to say the least. Next is it is super complicated to try and create events on the calendar and so far I’ve only been able to create one but I do not get remainders for it at all. Also it seems you have to open the app every time in order for it to push any notifications. It’s not automatic. I really did try to give it a chance since I “paid” for the subscription but I do not love it and am trying to request a refund..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Decent but has flawsI have ADHD and struggle with time blindness, so this app has proven to be very helpful when I need to just simply plan my day. Even with the free version, although it only gives you the bare minimum, I like this app. However, I can’t seem to change the notification settings for each event, and I can’t describe how unhelpful it is to constantly get notifications for events that literally start in three hours, especially since I struggle with keeping track of time. Please make a setting for changing how early those notifications are sent more accessible..Version: 1.9.2
✓ Just another calendar, but in lilacThe upwelling is so in your face. You can’t open the app without being asked twice to sign up for a year. No free week trial, not even a chance to play with the all. That's clearly their business model because anyone who did open the app will see it's just another calendar. If this is the magic key to fixing anyone's productivity then they never opened the free calendar app I would have spent more time testing but the aggressive upselling put me off..Version: 1.8.6
