Rooster: Calendar 4+

I’m really glad there is something like this available the for free. It’s like mixing the calendar and reminders apps into one - scheduling things has less steps! Once I got the hang of it, it ended up being immensely helpful, and it syncs to the other apps too so I can still see all my tasks and events if I open the calendar app for a more visual display. It’s a little glitchy sometimes, but I trust they’re working on it, and it hasn’t made anything impossible to do, it just crashes every now and then after I’m on it for a while. I am more of a paper planner person so to have this available for when I make plans and agree to things only to immediately forget is perfect cuz it will just come up as a notification on the day I list it under. You can put as much or as little information as you want and if you don’t check off your task it will automatically transfer it to the next day as an overdue task, it’s great. You can also add a location that’s not an address, which you can’t do on the regular calendar. I could go on and on, it’s exactly how a phone planner app should be.

TLDR; good app, my ADHD brain likes it, I use it easily and it keeps my tasks and plans organized in a basic way.

I love this app so much! I’ve tried so many other calendar/agenda/tasks reminders apps but none of them meet the level of Rooster, except for 2 features that Rooster doesn’t have. I would love a widget on the Today page on iPhone or even the Home Screen so I can check off my list without opening up the app, and I would love to be able to have it on my Apple Watch. I’m currently using Rooster along side another productivity/reminders app because I love Rooster so much more, but I need to get my daily task list reminders on my phone, so I’m running the other one (hopefully!) temporarily right now just hoping these will be added in the next app update. Thanks for making such an awesome app!! It’s absolutely changed my daily routine by having lists with my cleaning schedule and other tasks to just keep me focused, being a homeschooling mom who also works from home running my own small business. My housekeeping has never been better & I finally feel like I have a handle on it!!

Note to developer: I absolutely love this app, but I do wish it would sync with & had complications for my Apple Watch, as I’m currently using this along with another productivity app for my reminders. With watch integration, I could simplify and only use Rooster. Also, the app crashes each time I try to edit an existing task, so I’m finding myself having to delete and re-enter tasks that need to be edited. These updates would make it more than a 5-star app for me!

Okay, so life changing might sound dramatic but I’m serious. I think I’ve used pretty much every calendar app there is. It may not work for everybody because people have different things they need to keep track up. I need to know what I have going on for the day and what I need to do for the day. This allows me to enter those items quickly and drag them around to change. No more keeping a separate to do list and calendar, it’s an all-in-one. I also keep all the things that I need to do soon but not immediately pinned at the top and out of you and open it on occasion and drag some things to the day that I plan to accomplish them. I am constantly thinking about what I have to do because I feel like I’m going to forget things. Now I have everything organized and relax when I’m not working on my to do list!!! This is the second review I have ever written.
