My Study Life - School Planner 4+

Helped me so much!

I’ve always had issues with time management and procrastination, not to mention just forgetting about assignments and tests. I’ve tried for years to use a physical planner but it’s never worked out and I’d always abandon them after a day or two. So far I’ve only been using this app for a couple weeks but it’s completely changed the way I go about schoolwork! Because it’s online it’s always available and easily accessible, and I love being able to get reminders when I have a due date coming up. I can input as much information as I need about an assignment as well without running out of room, which was another problem I had with physical planners. With the different tabs I can see just my “tasks” or assignments coming up, or I can look at my calendar tab and see all my classes, exams, holidays and assignments for the month. It took me a few days to figure out how to fully use the website/app, but it’s much easier to navigate than some other websites I’ve used.
Honest opinion, I’ve never been this excited about anything to do with school, but now it’s almost kinda fun to schedule all my classes, tasks and exams and to mark them as completed when I’m done. I feel so accomplished and I really feel like it’s in part thanks to this program. Maybe I’ll be back with an update when the semester is over. Anyways, I absolutely recommend!

It’s great, I just have an issue with the calendar

I’ve used this app for almost 2 school years now and it’s served me well. It’s mostly simple in terms of creating a new task— it doesn’t make you go through a 15-step process to make one task unlike some other apps.

I do have a suggestion though. When setting a due date for a task, it would be nice if it was in the format of a calendar, where you select the day something is due by selecting it on a calendar, rather than the scroll menu. The scroll menu is fine though, but it’d be nice since some of my teachers tell me which day of the week something is due, rather than the exact calendar date.

A problem I have with the calendar is that my B days aren’t showing up in my second semester. They are set to be a year-long class too, I checked and they have the same setting as my A days. I tried temporarily setting my B days as an A day to see if that was the issue, but they still won’t show up in my second semester…

Other than that, great app! Please continue your hard work, and thank you for making this app 100% free— I’m tired of all of these school apps making themselves “freemium” *ahem* looking at you quizlet… This app is a reminder that school doesn’t have to be a pay to win as long as you have the right tools.

Disappointed long time user

I would normally give this app 5 stars in a heartbeat, I’ve been using it for all four years of college and it’s been an absolute lifesaver. A month or two ago, there was an alert on the app that said we should export our data and delete our accounts because MyStudyLife was shutting down, so I sadly did and found an alternative.
Yesterday, I was recommending my friend a good college scheduling app, and I told her I would recommend MyStudyLife if it wasn’t unfortunately shutting down. But when we looked it up, the app was up and running!! I was very excited and downloaded it again, but my account is gone and all my data is exported so I needed to make a new one.
The dev team is not communicating anything about the shutdown at all, replying to every tweet with “MSL is working as per usual and will continue to do so throughout the school year” despite many requests for recovering data and information on the shutdown. They are also not responding to my support email asking if there’s a way to import my exported data.
I’m disappointed because I wouldn’t have deleted my account that I’ve been using for 4 years if I knew it’d be back in a month and the dev team should have been responsible for properly informing their users.
