TimeBloc - Daily Planner 4+

Really good

This app is basically perfect for me. You can change things whenever, and for me I like it because I can plan out every minute of my day. The only thing is that the notifications have stopped working. They worked for the first 1.5 days I had it and then just stopped happening, no matter how far in advance the event was added or if I reloaded the app. So far that’s my only problem but it is a really frustrating one because in the beginning I relied on notifications to keep me from getting distracted and forgetting to switch tasks. Thank you for reading!
*Edit*: something else I just noticed- I see that you can drag blocks around to different parts of the day, I just wish that doing that would change the time! When I switch the positions of two items, they automatically switch back because the times stay the same, so I have to go thru each one and change the times, which then defeats any purpose of being able to drag/move them in the first place.

Respuesta del desarrollador ,

Thank you for your review! We acknowledge that notification is buggy for certain users. We have reworked notification and will be releasing a new version of TimeBloc in the coming week. I will also hand your feedback on the dragging behavior to our team. We would like to once again thank you for the detailed review as it really helps us improve TimeBloc ☺️ Feel free to reach out to us at hello@foruslabs.com should you have any queries!

I am rating 5 stars to support

I’m using TimeBloc because it’s a part of the growth bundle and I have mostly enjoyed using it so far. I have already found some things that make it a little trickier to use than other “time management” apps out there. For example, I’m working on making my routine and adding a bunch of events. Back and forth I’m switching between pressing the little “<“ button at the top to go back or pressing the big “save” button on the bottom when I’m finished editing. But I get mixed up and end up pressing “<“ when I’m done instead of save and lose all of my progress! I have to write everything all over again and be extra careful to save. I great solution for this would be just to have a simple warning appear when pressing the back button that says “are you sure you want to go back without saving?” Or something like that. Thank you so much for reading and I hope to continue using this app because I really enjoy how customizable, yet simple everything else is!

Great Idea...App Just Doesn’t Work

I downloaded this app a couple weeks ago, and I love the concept, especially since I couldn’t find something exactly like this on the App Store. I even paid for the premium version because it seemed so neat. It took me a few days before I made time to set it up (the irony of having to block time to set up my time blocking app 😅) , but it was great once I didn’t. The problem is that the app stopped working within 2 days of me setting it up. I’d try to open it, and it would just refuse to open. I wouldn’t get any notifications either. I restarted my phone, made sure it was updated, force closed and reopened it...everything. I reached out to support and they took a couple days to get back to me and it started working randomly within that time span. Then it went back out as suddenly as it started working. I’ve gotten a total of maybe 3 days of functionality out of this app, and it’s beyond frustrating. The only thing stopping this from being a 1-star is because I genuinely dig the app and had a great time when it worked. I’m stuck waiting for support to get back to me about an app I purchased and can’t use. Issa shame.
