I love the idea of this app, and it’s just what my ADHD brain needs. It is pretty complicated and has a lot of different functions, however, and I hope they’ll develop more training material for understanding it. What they have is thorough and extensive, but I find it overwhelming. I would like a clear progression of text and/or videos: SkedPal 101 with just the basics, then more that walks you through different elements of it. Either that or an online course, which I’d pay for. I know curriculum development is expensive. But I like this app because it can help me with my short-term memory problems and my general overwhelm, and these same problems make it challenging to learn the app.

I’ve been using SkedPal for a few years now, and the computer program was just what I was looking for—a way to say what I want to do for projects and regularly occurring tasks and then be told how much I need to work on them to get the tasks done. Or, when I’ve been overachieving and can’t get everything done. This companion app doesn’t have a lot of the functionality of the computer software, but provides my daily agenda at a glance so I know what to work on, and permits rescheduling on the go. The new scheduling tool is awesome, and gives me a greater say in how to prioritize when everything doesn’t fit in my schedule. One thing I would like to see is the ability to do partial completes from the agenda when only some of a task is scheduled for the day.

This app is amazing, especially when paired with calendar and the desktop version, but it needs a more compact and organized view. The current view shows each task as a large rectangle, when I'd like to see something akin to standard reminder app lists, such as 2Do, Reminders, etc... where each task is only a single line, and is only extended if there is extra information or if the user sets an option to make all tasks appear larger.
