Agenda: Notes meets Calendar 9+

Exactly what I was looking for

I’ve played a lot of video games, particularly RPG’s, and wanted something similar to the typical “Journal” feature that tracks quests and their various stages and whatnot, often with explanatory notes attached. At first I wasn’t sure if this app was what I was looking for, but it was exactly. Maybe that’s not the intention, but it fits the bill exceedingly well. This is the only app I’ve ever written a review for, so that says something I hope.
When I was setting up my notes and projects, I thought to myself that it was a little inconvenient that I couldn’t see everything at once, then I clicked on the overview and saw everything at once. I’m not a big time white collar worker, nor do I own a business or something, I just use this to be a bit more organized. Speaking as someone who doesn’t have the same kind of responsibility typical of the users of this kind of app, it’s been exactly what I’m looking for (this is without premium too).

Seriously lacking a key functionality

UDATE: Nothing like a dev telling a PAID customer that what they want is not important. I am avoiding this DEV FOR GOOD. TOO ARROGANT. END UPDATE: This app needs templates for projects. It has templates for notes which for me is useless but templates for projects would be priceless. The first request for this functionality on the devs website for Agenda was in 2018 and several others followed. All such requests have been commented on by several users stating how much they desire this functionality. Based on how nice this app looks & functions (this one critical issue aside), I doubt that it can’t be done and I don’t understand why it hasn’t with so many requests. This app is not cheap. I use it for several tasks but one is for planning woodworking projects. I have a project I would like to use as a template as I have notes within it that apply to all of my woodworking projects (Materials, cut list, joinery by part, machining by part, assembly instructions/order). For each project, each note is different (thus a template for notes to me is useless) but I need the same notes in each project (thus the need for templates for projects). I understand not all requests for update can be done or are feasible (I think this can be done and is feasible) but what is frustrating is the number of customers requesting the functionality and it not being implemented in the 4+ years since it was first requested.

Developer Response ,

Frankly, I would not call project templates “key functionality”. I would estimate probably less than 5% of our customers would have much interest in it. I understand that if it is a feature you yourself would like, it is frustrating, but we have to choose between many projects, and decide what to tackle next.

We introduced the app in 2018. Within about a month we had heard virtually all possible feature requests — all of them. It is rare now that we hear a new request.

Each year we choose a bunch to implement, and so it goes. That is how every software company works. It is simply not the case that building a feature is as easy as asking for it.

The good news is that now that templates are setup, we are thinking about how to make groups of them, so you could make a new project. This is a continuous process. First we needed to be able to make note templates. Now we can build on that to see if we can offer some grouping options.
