PLANBELLA - Planner App 4+

This app has done a great job keeping me organized so far. It’s so beautiful, but minimalistic so it doesn’t feel cluttered. it also is convenient that everything is kept in your journal then you can easily navigate to your calendar and have the ability to just see your tasks. The only thing I think would be beneficial is having the ability to switch between light and dark mode for the app itself instead of it being determined by your phone settings. I like mine to be dark mode most of the time, but prefer the light mode for the app. I also think it would be amazing if this was Siri comparable. There are so many times I’m busy doing something and need to create a quick task or event but I’m not able to stop and physically type it in. Also, when doing speak to text there seems to be a bit of a bug where it won’t type.

EDIT 4/5: the addition of the widgets is amazing and so fun. I’m a little bummed you have to pay additional money for some of them, but it’s only a $1 each so it’s not bad. In addition to it being better if it was Siri compatible it would be great if you could choose to delete or edit a single event that’s part of a recurring event. Apples calendar allows this which I think is super helpful when there’s a change needed to something without having to change or delete all of them.

This app is so beautiful and perfect for me. It’s exactly how I set up my bullet journal, except it’s on my phone so i always have it with me. I have ADHD so to function I need to have my appointments and tasks laid out in sequential order all together which this app allows me to do, rather than having separate views for calendar and to do’s. A lot of people complain that the calendar sync is only one way but I don’t really mind that since I prefer to manage my events in ical anyways. I would like to be able to reorder tasks by dragging and dropping but in the meantime I workaround by slightly adjusting the times.

The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t sync across devices. When I’m on the go I use my phone but at home I prefer my iPad. Also if there is in fact a desktop app coming soon the sync function would be mandatory for me. Currently I do have a workaround by backing up from my phone to iCloud, then loading the backup onto my iPad but this is really something that should be done automatically.

The app, the owner, 10 out of 10!! Downloading this app has been a beautiful experience and I’m not even being dramatic. First let me start with the app. I love checking an item off a list. It’s so satisfying and honest a little addictive. I couldn’t find an app that allowed me to create a checklist for my day directly on my calendar. This is the one app where I can add my morning routing, night routine, work schedule, appointments, with the ability to leave notes for each one, the journal! It does everything my brain needs it to. This app is so beautiful and calming to look at that I don’t even notice my 60 item long list that makes up my day hahah but I truly love how I can organize it all and finally not feel like I’m forgetting to do something. The first couple of days organizing my life on this app have allowed my brain to feel like it can BREATHE. Iykyk.

The owner is amazing too, I reached out to her on instagram and she was so nice, responded very quickly and helped me with an issue my phone was having. I can tell she made this app with her heart and im honestly just so thankful I found this app. The widgets are so beautiful and I love how it’s a one time fee. Cheaper than lunch and I get to organize my EVERYTHING for the rest of my life. If you’re thinking of getting it, get it. It’s worth it.
