Owaves: My Body Clock 4+

Lost all my settings

After spending about 45 minutes adding my own custom photos and icons, when I clicked on a different day choice, then came back to the main one I had been customizing, all of my customized settings were gone. My schedule remained the same, and some of the icons I had changed remained in the right side circle choices, but the big circle had lost all of my custom photos and the custom icons I had change them to just moments before. It has been working great until I went to the bottom and clicked on alternate days I only have three days saved so I know I am not on the wrong day. I realize this is a new app but this was very frustrating as I spent quite a bit of time customizing this. I think once you get the bugs out of this this will be a very interesting planner especially for people with a DHD or very visual people. I wish you would make it available on IMAX and laptops also so they could sync up with your phone. It is always easier to set things up on a laptop or computer. I tried changing one of the icons again and it saved and looked great then when I went to the bottom of the screen hit the plus button and chose one of the other two days then went back to the same day I had justCustomized, my customized icon again was gone so this must be a bug. Please keep working on this I think you are onto something great I had actually invented in my own mind then saw a video that was telling about the app.

Hi FoxeyOwl, thank you so much for your kind words about Owaves and for seeing promise in the app! 🙏 We are really sorry to hear that your customizations did not save properly and that you lost them, and we apologize for the frustration you experienced. I will report this bug to the rest of my team. Additionally, thank you for your suggestion to make Owaves available for IMAX and laptops. We are working on a desktop version for Mac and aim to release this in early 2021. Please feel free to stay in the loop with app updates at owaves.com/news. We look forward to continuing to improve the app for you and our other users. Thank you again for your review! 🙏🏽 Best, Mikaela, on Behalf of Team Owaves 🕰️📅📱

I love the concept, but the bugs can drive me crazy!

I keep coming back to this app as my planning app because it just makes sense visually when planning my day and the UI feels intuitive as well. It’s pleasant to look at and provides great ideas on seasonal habits as well! However, I spend double the amount of time planning trying to work around bugs in adjusting the length of time for activities using the hold and drag method. When I move an activity or adjust a time with this method, it will leave a duplicate or a shadow duplicate where it was. Then when I go to delete it, it bugs out and the whole circle is filled with that thing I just deleted. Then I typically close the app completely, reopen it and it’s fine again…. Until it happens again in about 45 seconds.. Rinse and repeat 🤦‍♀️ Hopefully this bug can be addressed in the next patch because this is really time consuming to have to fix and kind of defeats the purpose of an app that’s meant to help you save and structure your time, especially when people need to be able to make quick changes on the fly to adjust to the unpredictable nature of daily life.

Update: Developer responded within a few days that they were working on it, and then a few days later, they patched it and all is well! Enjoying being able to edit without all the bugs from before! Now I love the concept and the execution! Thank you, OWaves team!!

I LOVE THIS APP

There is something so calming to glance at my phone and see a big square that says "Eat Greens" and then "Bill Pay" to remind me what I'm doing now, and what I plan to do next. I'm guessing probably around 90% of the users of this app have ADHD because it's like it was built with us in mind, down to the day planned in a circle which is how I didn't even realize I view time. Setting it up was easy-peasy and creating day plans in the morning is so much fun I don't always use the "repeat every" feature, which I could. I like the reminders to play, and to eat, and to have free time without guilt or spinning my wheels trying to remember what I'm doing next.

I'm a preschool teacher and have used visual schedules for years, and have tried other scheduling apps like this. This one was recommended and while I don't necessarily *need* another neurodivergent-friendly app, Owaves is totally worth it. After trying to fit my days into a 24-hour box and getting frustrated when I'd fail every time, this simple little drag-and-drop round clock day planning app recognizes my struggles with time-blindness and speaks my language and gently reminds me of where I am now and where I was planning to go next. Plus the kid is ridiculously happy with the gorgeous colors. Love this app.
