My Study Life - School Planner

First and for most, I definitely recommend this to students young and old. The amount of free features and subscription features are fair, and there aren’t any pop-up adds literally begging for your money😅. I have tried many apps similar to this (that aren’t sketchy), and this is by far is the best app! Some claim to be “great organizers” and “the only planner you will ever need”, but, in my experience, they are either too organized to where it’s overwhelming, or it just doesn’t offer what I need. If it does, it’s usually has to be paid for. It’s a great app. BTW if you had the courage to read this long review, I appreciate it😂 hope this helps! To Developers, Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have notice what I suspect to be a bug in the app. The screen has frozen and before crashed mid-usage (exited on its own to my iPad’s Home Screen). Hopefully this can be fixed. If I could recommend one thing, please, it would be great if the Test feature could be unlocked for free. I feel like it is a very popular thing to use in planners, and no other apps do so or is as great as yours; it really would be awesome if that is possible. Amazing app, keep it running!

I’ve been using this app to plan my school assignments for a literal decade! I started using it in middle school and I’m now in my senior year of college. It was amazing! But this last update made it so unusable that I switched to a different planner app (Power Planner). With the new update, it’s incredibly difficult to manage the subjects you’re taking unless they divide into nice English, Math, Science, History labels. You can’t view a task unless you go to the calendar, which defaults to showing the day instead of the week or month, and scroll to the day where you made the task due. If you’re trying to put in deadlines from a syllabus, this means you could be scrolling for literal months just to make sure you actually created the assignment. The tasks show up on the calendar like classes, making it really difficult to tell what’s actually a class and what’s a homework assignment. It’s super confusing to even create a task to begin with! In what world does it make sense to default to the creation of a class rather than a task? It genuinely goes class -> exam -> task. That’s the opposite of the order that would make sense to use most frequently! The tabs of the old app used to give you a nice, legible dashboard that told you what tasks were coming up. Now, it’s impossible to tell what the tasks even are or when they’re due. I’m incredibly disappointed in how much they ruined this app when it’s been functioning amazingly well for years!!

I’ve always had issues with time management and procrastination, not to mention just forgetting about assignments and tests. I’ve tried for years to use a physical planner but it’s never worked out and I’d always abandon them after a day or two. So far I’ve only been using this app for a couple weeks but it’s completely changed the way I go about schoolwork! Because it’s online it’s always available and easily accessible, and I love being able to get reminders when I have a due date coming up. I can input as much information as I need about an assignment as well without running out of room, which was another problem I had with physical planners. With the different tabs I can see just my “tasks” or assignments coming up, or I can look at my calendar tab and see all my classes, exams, holidays and assignments for the month. It took me a few days to figure out how to fully use the website/app, but it’s much easier to navigate than some other websites I’ve used. Honest opinion, I’ve never been this excited about anything to do with school, but now it’s almost kinda fun to schedule all my classes, tasks and exams and to mark them as completed when I’m done. I feel so accomplished and I really feel like it’s in part thanks to this program. Maybe I’ll be back with an update when the semester is over. Anyways, I absolutely recommend!
