Can it be free for students?

I’m going to be a freshman in college and I’ve been looking for apps that might help me stay more organized vs having to find them while I’m in college and change my entire workflow. However, I no longer have the luxury of a heavy cash flow to pay for app subscriptions. I wish we could have a free plan for students who desperately need professional tools like this but can’t afford them. Many companies do this and I think this’d be a great way to advertise your app and company. I did buy a physical planner but am not sure how much use it’ll get as I often loose interest in them after a couple months and wanted to try something new on my iPad Pro. However, as cheap as the subscription is I don’t want it slowly chipping away at my monthly allowance. I’m only going to keep this app if we can have a free student plan or a one time purchase plan because in that case I’d DEFINITELY buy this!! The wealth of features and flexibility amazes me and this app definitely seems underrated but my only qualm is the subscription. Please add more subscription and purchase models. Thank you!!

Great concept decent implementation, but room for growth

The concept is exactly what I was aiming for when I was trying to find a paper planner style planer for my iPad. It’s integration with the Calendar app and Reminders app is exactly what I was hoping for, and I like that the notes are able to link to the individual events or to a particular day. However, it does not seem that it has had any updates since 2022 and the list of features and updates has not been updated in several years which worries me with regard to support and whether or not this is going to be a maintained application in the future. A feature that would be really nice and I was hoping for would be the ability to either export notes using the share sheet or even better having the notes in this app synchronize with the Notes app just like it does with the Calendar and Reminders app that would be a superb option which would allow the notes that are created outside of this app to be linked as well and also accessible outside of this app on other devices. I am hopeful that the developer is still working on implementing some of the features listed on the website and I understand that it can take a long time to develop some features so I am not assuming that they are not coming. I just would like to see them sooner so that this can be more useful as a one stop planning application that would justify the subscription cost.

Won’t update on synced device

I downloaded this app about a week and a half ago. I first downloaded it to my iPad. It linked my calendars and I was able to write notes on the individual days which is exactly what I wanted to be able to do. I then downloaded the app on my phone and signed in with my account. Everything transferred over that I had entered up to that point. However, I have made changes since then on my iPad and the new info that I put in my iPad won’t update on my phone. I’ve done all of the trouble shooting tips, refreshed the app, closed out the phone and iPad m, restated, even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. When I signed back in after reinstalling the app on my phone it still only shows the info that had been input at the time I had originally installed the app on my phone. It still won’t update. It’s been over a week. I tried reaching out to the support email within my free trial period and am still waiting for a response. I give this app 2 stars because I really like the design of linking to my calendars and being able to write on it but if it will only work on my iPad and not update to my phone then it’s pointless for me to have this app and I would have cancelled it before the free trial. I’m hoping the app support group will eventually have a solution to fix this at which point I could update my review. Not sure how long their typical response time is for getting back to emails but it’s been over a week so far with no response.

Need better payment options

This app from the looks of it seems very productive and useful. I also believe that I would easily learn the interface as it seems very clean and organized. With that being said I could not bring my self to using the app. For starters the app isn’t even useable without paying for the Pro version. The app lets you use some things for free but it is so limited without paying that it is basically unusable. It won’t let you plan more than a week ahead. If you are going to offer a free version with so many limitations do not even offer a free version to begin with. I am fine with paying for a powerful app like this but you have to pay for it in a subscription format. These days EVERYTHING wants you to pay for a subscription. Eventually that adds up. I know the subscription price isn’t the worst price out there, but I would much rather pay a one time payment up front. Apps like Procreate and GoodNotes use the one time pay option that lets you have full access to their powerful apps. So in the end I would like to see A. An one time payment option upfront, or B. A less restrictive free version that is actually usable. Consumers shouldn’t be trapped in a subscription cycle to use everything.
