Ratings and reviews

Not sure why my review from 2 years ago is gone, but app has not improved over that time. (Trying it again because I liked certain features.) Version 4 was great! Current version is not. For example, they've had 2 years to fix project alphabetical sorting like it was in version 4, but nope. When you have a lot of projects, it's a pain to have to search through a long list which changes order based upon any entry updates. Task display "improvements" are more convoluted. Canceling trial.

Not going so great anymore since updating to Android 15. fonts on calendar view selection are not visible, can't select input on support page anymore, can't select color themes custom options anymore, at times won't let me delete a multi day event all at once just one day at the time. Changing to version 5 in my book was a significant downgrade after years of using this app I am actually starting to look for an alternative. It was a very flexible calendar and to-do app. Used it for many years.

It's good, and I like where it's heading, but it's still teething as it's missing the widgets of the old app. It's fast after a long initial sync. In terms of the annual subscription required for the full features, it's just reality - they can't maintain the app for ever without annual subscription. And for those of us who use this app we use it a lot to help our productivity, so for the price of five lattes a year I think this gives at least an equal productivity boost.
