That's why people who start with Octopus keep planning with it months later.

Ratings and reviews

I want to like this, but right off the bat I see time is only showing AM, and duration has no way of accounting for fractions of hours, e.g. 1 hour 15 minutes. Why not have a start and end time like every other app? This doesnt work for me. Sad, because it seems to have potential. Some grammar issues/poor editing as well; I would certainly not pay for this at this stage.

Exceptional! I've tried LOTS of different apps, but this is different because it integrates so many different things well together like tasks, events, habits, goals & checklists in one USER FRIENDLY app. I agree w/ review that can't figure out why not more downloads & positive reviews. Even PRO averages $1.38 a month. This may be one of the best I've tried. For improvement, I'd like to see more flexibility in recurring like # of days, weeks, etc. Keep improving to be the best! Highly recommended

Good app so far. There is a free and paid version. I would give this 5 stars if: 1. I could mark tasks Complete without starting the timer. 2. If checklist "Item" could be removed after completing rather than than the entire Checklist having to be complete to remove it 3. Instead of archiving tasks, there was a "Compeleted Tasks" section instead that items are moved to after completion
