Really great goal and habit tracker, to do list, and day planner
GraceJZ
I’ve used basically all of the trackers/planners that are highly rated on the App Store but all of them were limited to one or two kinds of functionality. This app combines all of them into one.It has a habit tracker, a goal tracker, a daily planner, a to do list section that integrate wonderfully together. You can add events, you can customize the color palette and theme, and super easy interface with the perfect amount of detail.Really really great app, I don’t ever write reviews but this has been exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve been able to delete 3 other apps in place of this one.
Few cons but they’re big ones.

I’ve been looking for an app like this for literal years. It has a beautiful interface with a clean and modern feel but it’s also customizable. It has the three things I wanted: calendar, tasks, and notes (plus a lot more without seeming overwhelming). It seemed perfect. Perfect enough that I bought premium so I could integrate my calendar and play with the features because there was no free trial (which would have been nice).However, there is no actual sync feature with iCal. You can import calendar events but it will not sync new ones, you have to put everything in this app going forward. There is no option at all to import reminders. Adding events is annoying - it would be way more convenient to have a start and end time instead of choosing an amount of time (or at least having both options). I really needed full integration with my calendar AND reminders because they are synced with other apps that I use including widgets that I need on my home screen (which this app also doesn’t have). The default iCal options are extremely useful for my ADHD brain (travel times, widgets, integration with other apps) but it’s so ugly and it’s not effective for me to not have my events and reminders in the same place.I wanted to love this app (I thought I did) but because of the lack of a few features that even the crappiest apps seem to have I will probably never use it.

I downloaded the app to try out before considering buying. The layout and features are good but I can’t get past how bad the calendar is. If you had a fully functional calendar I would have purchased. The fact that I can not see what I have coming up without actually clicking on the day is horrible. It doesn’t even show on the calendar that you have something scheduled that day unless you view each day individually. The week view is bad. It needs to be broken down like an actual daily planner with the ability to schedule out your day and view your appointments in a time block format. Because the calendar is so bad I personally have no use for this app. Look at the Apple calendar app or any other planner app and take notes. What you have is a lazy version of a planner.
Love this app
