App Profile: Deadline Tracker

itsJLA

Rating: 2/5

I love the idea of being able to visually see the passage of time of your deadlines via widgets, but the app is pretty buggy and it’s missing a few important features or else I would rate this app 5 stars. Right off the bat, I’m being prompted to subscribe/pay for the full version without even seeing the interface of the app. Granted, I’m pleased to see that there’s a “Free Trial” and “Lifetime” options. However, at least let me see the layout of the app and play around with it to make sure everything works as advertised before asking me to pay! This leads me to the next point, the usage of the app and how it’s not working properly. When adding an event to set a deadline, hitting the “Edit” button does absolutely nothing. No options prompting you to input any details or change the dates - just the same view of the widget. Besides the main functionality of the app not working, there are also some important features missing that would be a huge improvement for users. For instance, integration with Calendar and Reminders would be very useful. Also, an addition of “Folders” to further organize deadlines would be great for keeping everything in order. Some of the layout for widgets feels cluttered so if there are options to edit the details ourselves or the developer can do a refresh of widget styles then that would be great. Other than that, I hope the developer will fix the main issue and continue to improve the app because I think it is off to a great start! I definitely see the potential and if further developments are implemented, I wouldn't mind purchasing the app :)
