Pocket Schedule Planner 4+

I use the scheduler a little differently then it's intention (school). I use it to schedule my entire day. It helps me to reach my goals. For the "Course" I identify the overall goal and the source/book/guru is the "instructor." The assignments are the action steps with details as to how I would go about accomplishing these actions. Some examples would be links to audio files where there is a lecture, or bullet points as to exactly what I should be doing in the action step. Because I have now put a due date on the actions, I am sure to accomplish more with my day which gives me much to celebrate in my slow but sure journey to becoming the person I know is in me. The class schedule helps in that, upon rising in the morning (when I otherwise get distracted by everything else), I immediately tend to things I scheduled myself to "show up" for. In summary, I use Pocket Schedule to keep commitments I make to ME as opposed to school or others. And it works great! The four-star rating is because I have to manipulate the app in order to get it to sync from my iPad to my iPhone. Another reviewer had suggested logging out and deleting data; what I do is I hit "save" and then sync when I notice old assignments and such are not syncing properly. Thanks for this helpful app!

But there is still room for more potential.
My only real issue right now is that my scheduled tasks and course assignments don’t show up together on my phones lock screen saying how many days are left till. I checked the app in my phone settings and the notifications are on I still get singular notification but I paid for the pro version so I could have I think what they call (widget) ? If the app doesn’t always display the way the last photo looks on the App Store advertisement than that is miss leading I basically paid for themes I won’t use. The other thing was if you put more than a few words in the professor description section, once you click save and go to “instructors” some of the text disappears and even when you click let’s say “office hours” it doesn’t open to show more info it just has “...” so I have to go back into editing mode to actually see the rest of the info. The last thing is if I have an assignment it would be nice to get at least one more notification option for before and right before. OVER ALL THIS APP IS SO PRETTY AND EASY TO NAVIGATE THROUGH I really love it so much but I’m really bummed I paid for nothing. I didn’t even get ads like other people mentioned before I paid extra. Is there something I can do to get my schedule notification on my lock screen all together?

I love this app. It’s helped me so much in staying organized! It’s features are easy and intuitive, and I love being able to have an organized view of all my info for each class without having to rummage through syllabi. Much, much more conviene the than using Apple calendars. The subscription for the deluxe features is a lot cheaper compared to other apps I’ve looked at, and even without it the app functions beautifully, with all essential feature included in the free version. The sub is just a few nice bonuses, which I personally think are worth it, but the app doesn’t break if you don’t have it. Just the way it should be!

My one, one issue with this app is that there’s no way to add recurring assignments. I wish I could add an assignment like ‘Chem Problem Sets’ and set it to be due every Friday for x number of weeks, instead of having to manually enter the same assignment 10 times so the app reminds me every week. It’s pretty inconvenient when you have a whole bunch of weekly assignments that you have to input manually for each week.

Other than that, this app is great! Add that one feature and I would be more than happy to give 5 stars!
