Backpack: Homework Tracker 4+

Amazing app!

I have been searching for an app that will keep track of my homework without the hassle of taking 30 minutes just to enter my classes or constantly receiving ads or self promotions. This app is completely free with no ads, purchases, or subscriptions and it has a very clean interface and is very easy to use. It has really helped me organize my classwork and get my grades up. It takes about two minutes to set up, and adding an assignment takes 30 seconds or less. There are so many color options, you can add photos or notes, and there are no restrictions whatsoever. This app is super simple and you should get it!!! Promise im not a bot 😋 i just really recommend this app!! (Sorry for the long review)

Really close to being perfect

I just want to say that this app is exactly what I want out of a homework tracker. It’s a simple way to put my assignments on a calendar without having a ton of different options complicating the matter. I really like the fact I can just put my assignments down fairly quickly and simply.

All that said there’s a few problems I have with the app. I really wish there was a way that I could view my classes and all the projects in them. In the app right now classes are all shown together on the calendar. I also wish there was a monthly calendar to let you see the month ahead of you, similar to apples calendar. It’s also sort of strange how you have to push in an assignment in order to mark it as completed.

There’s also a few bugs that make the app sort of annoying to use. Like I’ll try to put down a time for an assignment and the scroll wheel with all the times will sometimes go back to what it was before. There’s been a few times that I’ve put down an assignment but it has the wrong time because it scrolled back without me realizing it.

Overall the app is everything I want out of a homework app, but there’s a few small things that hold it back. At the end of the day the app is at least worth trying and is a pretty good homework app.

Awesome App, but not suited for everybody

Because of the online school stress and workload, I started searching for a homework app. This app stood out, because it has a modern lay-out and a very user-friendly design. It has really cool options for reminders, colors, descriptions, classes, and so on. However, there are a few improvements needed.
1. You can only add assignments, not reminders or tasks. This is really a huge setback. You can’t add if you have a test on Monday that you need to study for. I always find myself writing reminders on sticky notes. It would be great to have this option.
2. There’s only one “assignment option”. Meaning that you can’t choose how important the assignment is, if it’s a project, and so on.
3. It automatically flips to portrait mode at the beginning. This is super annoying.
Another thing is that a regular google calendar can do these things and more. This app should be more geared towards educationally purposes but STILL have those same features.
Also, if you aren’t good about using something everyday, this might not be the app for you. I personally think you should try the app for a few days.
If you update these things, I’ll give a five star rating, because this app is GREAT!
I recommend this app! It’s great and helps me keep track of my work.
