Daily planner CircleTime 4+

After wrapping my head around a circle vs a grid, after getting used to the view, the calendar because a highly informative display of your time. I frequently add in everything I want to do on a day, but seeing how the circle quickly fills up and events overlap each other, it’s clear that expectations may be a little high. The visual display helps to set realistic plans and offers insights into habits and recurring events over time helping you plan better and consider what things are important for you. Looking forward to hopefully seeing tasks on the calendar in the future which would help pull information together.

Thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad you’ve gotten used to the circular view and that it helps you see how your day fills up and plan more realistically. That’s exactly our goal: to provide a clear, useful overview of your time and habits. Tasks/reminders are indeed planned for a future update. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

I’d buy it if it were a one time purchase. But it’s hard to justify a subscription.

Update in regards to the developer reaching out to explain their reasoning for moving to a subscription. See the thing is I actually hadn’t updated the app in about a year to avoid the subscription. I was forced to when I upgraded to a new phone. The original purchase app was good enough for me. It let me add events and track dates in a convenient format. From a consumer point of view further updates were largely unnecessary and if it means moving to ‘software as a service,’ unwanted. As it stands now the free app version does nothing for me. I can’t enter events anymore without upgrading.
Long story short, from the consumer side this was a major step back. I no longer have a use for this app. My need is for the long haul ie. years. And I have no interest in paying for the app a dozen times over in that time. Updates were not necessary.

Thank you for rating and the chance to explain why we introduced a subscription.

CircleTime was removed from sale a couple of years ago, and hasn't had a proper update for new devices even longer. In order to bring it back from the dead and ensure the same thing doesn't happen again, we had to come up with a more reliable funding - one that doesn't involve tracking our users, selling their personal data and bombarding them with pesky ads.

At certain point developers realized that 'pay once, use forever' model had become unsustainable. It may have worked in the dawn of mobile applications when development was simpler, shorter and less expensive. It still works for certain products, such as games that you play once and then forget about, but not so much for productivity apps that require continuous updates for reliable functioning. Comparative apps have already adopted subscription based model (a.k.a. 'software as a service'), and it should come as no surprise that we did the same, albeit late.

From a user perspective- if I enjoy using the app and wish to see it evolve and grow into something truly remarkable, I'll gladly support it by subscribing. Especially if it's a developer who responds to users' feedback and includes their suggestions whenever possible. :)

The CircleTime app is a sleek and efficient tool for organizing your schedule. Its user-friendly interface simplifies event creation and navigation. The intuitive design allows seamless syncing across devices, ensuring you stay on top of your commitments. However, occasional syncing delays can be frustrating. The app's minimalist aesthetic enhances focus, but some users may miss advanced customization options. Despite minor drawbacks, CircleTime is a reliable companion for efficient time management, offering a streamlined experience for users seeking a straightforward calendar solution.
