I have tried so many different calendar apps i cant even count along with to do list apps. This one is fantastic with both things which is great because i really appreciate being able to see a visual calendar breakdown of my to dos and when i want to do them.
Also, for anyone who works with Stephen coveys approach to organizing, this app will cater very well to that as well, with a someday maybe list option as well as making such lists to be rather intuitive. and not as cumbersome as some calendars and list making apps i have found. one feature, being an artist, which i especially appreciate, is the ability to make project "folders" with lists of actions within them that you can later put into the calendar at a time that you have available for them. This is great for me, as, what project the action is for shows up when listed this way without having to re type over and over the title of the particular project for EVERY single aspect of it, like with other to do/or calendar/planner apps.
The funnel feature looks to be promising. If you are at home for example, you can list all the things you have to do there with this feature supposedly, but I haven’t given this a go yet. Each bloody time so i know WHICH art piece, or event i am picking up paint drawing, hanging pictures at ect. ect or any other thing. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but not much, and the small amount of time to get to remember where all the good stuff in is well worth it.
i am absolutely amazed that this app has no reviews yet.! My only complaint would be that im having a hard time wrapping my head around the fundamental difference between a task, and an action.. they seem to be the same thing to me but have different options associated with them and can be switched back from one to the other.. This confuses me a little, but im wondering if im just sort of missing the point of "tasks" as being what appears to be more immediate things to do.. Not sure. loads quickly, and also has audio reminders which is great, as i dont know about you but i dont stare at my phone all day long waiting for a text reminder to pop up..
I am very pleased indeed with this app and I recommend it completely, it is a calendar, to do, and day planner in one. It looks like there might be a way to synch it up with google calendar as well if you first synch google cal with your phone calendar.
