Pocket Schedule Planner

I just started using this app a day ago..today when I decided to put some assignments in it I was not enjoying it. I had no idea how the app worked so I did not want to write a review yet. But as I began to get more knowledge on the app it wasn’t so bad after all. Now I do have some concerns. Why is there adds on an app where u may be trying to do something an then an add just randomly pops up. U could be struggling to do something and and add pops up and it makes u even more frustrating. I just feel like this isn’t an app where there should be adds. As well as premium features. I don’t like that I have to pay to get premium. Especially bc you have to pay 10 dollars a year? Why can’t it just be permanent. And my last concern is you can only have a stopping time for an exam. Now I get that, but if you could add something where the class had a starting time and a stopping time. Now what I like about the app is that it’s very organized. And especially that’s there is tasks that are for “someday” which just makes me feel warm inside bc someone feels just as lazy as I am. There is beyond more features I love about this app. Just some concerns. The adds aren’t as bad as some apps. And I do get that the app company needs to make money. I am not a mean person myself, but I just feel like the app really shouldn’t have non-permanent features. I still recommend this app to others that are looking for a good school schedule. Especially bc I have school online at the moment.

But there is still room for more potential. My only real issue right now is that my scheduled tasks and course assignments don’t show up together on my phones lock screen saying how many days are left till. I checked the app in my phone settings and the notifications are on I still get singular notification but I paid for the pro version so I could have I think what they call (widget) ? If the app doesn’t always display the way the last photo looks on the App Store advertisement than that is miss leading I basically paid for themes I won’t use. The other thing was if you put more than a few words in the professor description section, once you click save and go to “instructors” some of the text disappears and even when you click let’s say “office hours” it doesn’t open to show more info it just has “...” so I have to go back into editing mode to actually see the rest of the info. The last thing is if I have an assignment it would be nice to get at least one more notification option for before and right before. OVER ALL THIS APP IS SO PRETTY AND EASY TO NAVIGATE THROUGH I really love it so much but I’m really bummed I paid for nothing. I didn’t even get ads like other people mentioned before I paid extra. Is there something I can do to get my schedule notification on my lock screen all together?

I use the scheduler a little differently then it's intention (school). I use it to schedule my entire day. It helps me to reach my goals. For the "Course" I identify the overall goal and the source/book/guru is the "instructor." The assignments are the action steps with details as to how I would go about accomplishing these actions. Some examples would be links to audio files where there is a lecture, or bullet points as to exactly what I should be doing in the action step. Because I have now put a due date on the actions, I am sure to accomplish more with my day which gives me much to celebrate in my slow but sure journey to becoming the person I know is in me. The class schedule helps in that, upon rising in the morning (when I otherwise get distracted by everything else), I immediately tend to things I scheduled myself to "show up" for. In summary, I use Pocket Schedule to keep commitments I make to ME as opposed to school or others. And it works great! The four-star rating is because I have to manipulate the app in order to get it to sync from my iPad to my iPhone. Another reviewer had suggested logging out and deleting data; what I do is I hit "save" and then sync when I notice old assignments and such are not syncing properly. Thanks for this helpful app!
