A visual time-blocking day planner with templates and statistics — powerful and cheap, but let down for many by broken notifications and basic features locked behind premium.
What users love
Visual time-blocking rescues people with time blindness
The biggest love: the visual block layout of the day helps people with ADHD and time blindness actually see and manage their time. For visual thinkers it just clicks.
this is so good for my adhd time blindness! I block schedule everything now!
there is visualized schedule and some hour bar, suitable for those who have time blindness.
really helps my time blindness and scheduling difficulties.
Simple yet powerful — usable even without premium
For many the free tier is plenty: clean, no bloat, barely any ads. Simple enough not to overwhelm, deep enough to genuinely plan a day.
simple good looking easy to use requires no money
really minimal and useful app. zero bloat
Very powerful and usable even without premium.
Affordable pricing and a rare lifetime option
Premium is praised for fair pricing and, above all, a one-time lifetime option instead of a subscription. People buy lifetime even just to support a good app.
Love that there is a lifetime option for premium.
Worth every penny!
reasonable asking price
What users hate
Notifications and reminders keep silently breaking
The single most common complaint: notifications, reminders and the persistent alert work for a day or two, then go silent. Without them the whole point of the planner is lost — the user gets no cue when a block starts.
but now the notifications are broken which kills the point of the app
the app stubbornly refuses to give me notifications
on the first day it's sending me notifications but after a few hours it stopped
Basic features are locked behind premium
Many bristle that marking a block 'done', the time tracker and focus mode aren't free. The 'done' checkbox feels like a basic feature, not a premium one — even the phone's default Notes app has it.
you can't even mark tasks as complete without paying
You should be able to mark your blocks done fo free
would've been a goated app if everything wasn't pro
Day templates are loved, but repeat and template paste misfire
Templates and day-repeat are the headline feature, but for some they break: 'repeat day' duplicates blocks in the wrong order with wrong timings, and a saved template never pastes back.
would just repeat the next week's day completely incorrectly
Saving a template wasn't useful as the app never pasted the template afterwards
the daily plan won't reflect for the rest of the week
No cross-device sync or cloud backup
The schedule lives on one device only: no cloud, no sync across devices. Switching phones means re-entering everything.
Need a cloud version, For Sync on Multi Device
it doesn't sync between devices
Wish they had a desktop version.
Weak Google Calendar integration
Google Calendar sync technically exists, but its events show without notifications and the schedule has to be rebuilt by hand — which puts off would-be paying users.
Will not notify me of those events
I don't want to recreate my Timeblock schedule in TimeTune too.
but I can't sync my fasrmail calendars
Can't schedule more than a month ahead
A hard horizon limit: even in the paid version you can't schedule beyond a month ahead — which hurts students who need to plan a whole semester.
you can't schedule stuff more than a month in advance, even with the paid version.
you cant schedule months in advance.
Widget fails to refresh or show the current block
The widget often won't refresh or show the current time-block in real time, even though other calendar widgets on the same phone work without any tweaking.
The widget also stubbornly refuses to update.
widget has started to not work.
it's not showing current real time timeblock
Updates break the familiar look and removed the white background
Some long-time users resent the redesigns: the clean white background is gone, replaced by a distracting colored one, and the day view changed — people miss the old version.
The new update however has no white background option which is extremely upsetting.
the way notifications work changed for the worse
I don't like the way the days are displayed.
Users want subtasks, notes and a dedicated to-do list
A recurring ask to expand: subtasks inside blocks, daily notes, file attachments and a separate untimed to-do list. As it stands, users keep a second app alongside it.
the inability to add subtasks is a a deal breaker for any planner app.
I wish I could add subtasks to blocks with more specific instructions
having a dedicated to-do list section would be awesome.
A steep start that pays off once it clicks
The learning curve is higher than expected: at first the app confuses and takes time to get used to. Many admit it didn't click immediately — even those who later praise it.
a little too complex to use, takes time to learn it and get used to it
not at all user friendly.
Much more intuitive once you learn how it works.
