Simplicity at its best

This app might seem simple in design - leveraging the Apple Pencil to write in your agenda and action items but it is in the simplicity that this application does so well. Unlike most apps which try to collect data and force you to change your process - this app truly let’s you work they way you want to. Here you have one of the best experiences of the iPad with the Apple Pencil.I am a technology executive and use this every day. 5-10 minutes to sketch out the day and my target objectives. Through the day I am constantly using - to a point that i no longer use any physical (paper) during my day. The tabs at the top let you switch between daily view, week, year, etc. and is extremely easy to navigate.I only wish there were more apps like this permitting a simple human experience with the iPad. Job extremely well done.

Best Planner Ever

I love this planner so incredibly much, it has the perfect mixture of structure and minimalism I need to enjoy using it. The app itself runs very smoothly and I’ve never had a problem with glitching or freezing while using it even when it’s been open for hours which I do often although mistakenly, in the past it led to a lot of efforts not being saved so for that I am very appreciative. I normally don’t write reviews, my only reason for putting this up is to give my appreciations and thanks to the developers and mention a small problem. When I am in the daily and weekly view pages and press on the date hyperlink at the top to view the mini calendar of the month that hyperlinks to other days, the buttons of the days overlap and it’s impossible to view the month and go through the days. This is a function I normally use a lot and decreases the functionality a bit for me. I love this app and would love to use it until I kick the bucket so that small fix would mean the world to me and make this app 100% perfect. Thank you for reading! I also would not complain if we had more pen options👀

This app is amazing for teachers. Previously I was using google calendar, but just wasn’t pleased with being able to see my day view in a meaningful way and notes for each day. This app fixes that! It is so easy and natural writing on this calendar. There are only a few things that REALLY need improving. First, (and this is a small complaint) I wish that when I zoomed in the template would not be blurry. I expected it to be a vector image. Second, I really need a way to export the page without just taking a screen shot. I need a good high quality export. Next, I wish that some drawings would automatically appear from one view to another such as from the month view to the week view to the day view. Lastly, I wish that this app had better syncing and a dedicated iPhone app. The iPhone app could be less detailed, and take up more of the screen. As of now, it is pretty hard to see on a small phone. Also, If this app had a Mac app (or preferably a website) that I could look at my writings on my computer for free, I would definitely give this 5 stars. Seriously a great app though. I will plan to use it for the near future!

Thanks for the detailed review! We are with you on all your requests and they are each already either on the short-term roadmap or in the backlog. The first item we are working on currently is a mechanism for seeing the day entry in the week or month. For more details on the rest of the items or to send additional feedback please reach out at plannersupport@next83.com, thanks!

Thank you for creating a digital planner to work with the Apple Pencil that doesn’t require you to go inside the date to write something and then back out to see it. I greatly appreciate all of the features especially the pencil and paper feel. BTW - the Grid view is really cool which was a wonderful surprise. Couple of ideas: If you ever get a chance to add a couple blank tabs after the grid tab to allow for full size notes, that would be amazing. If those note tabs could have an option of blank, ruled, and grid paper, that would be really cool. If those tabs could be customizable, that would be very helpful. Meanwhile, I love everything about this app. It has become my #1 iPad digital organizer. Thanks again!!!

Thanks for the feedback and review! We love the idea of the notes tab, have added it to our backlog, and hope to introduce something to meet that need in a future version. Glad you are enjoying the app!
