Thruday: Visual Daily Planner

This app as been such a lifesaver for me. It is easily approachable and does a great job of filtering content so I don’t get overwhelmed. It’s just customizable enough to meet my needs without being too much, and has just the right amount of features. I can keep all of my scheduling and tracking in one app without feeling totally underwater every time I open it. Also, the development team is so helpful. Any time I have an issue they are quick to respond and clearly have a genuine interest in helping people. If you run into a problem, just reach out! They are always improving. Highly recommend this app to anyone. Thank you Thruday!

This app should be a perfect fit for someone with executive function issues— it allows a person to create individual schedules with tasks broken down into steps, it gives the opportunity to create multiple reminders, and it has functionality that allows you to invite another person to support or manage your schedule. Unfortunately where it fails is pretty much on the most important point of reminders and checklists— the reminders pop up silently on your phone, with no audible sound or even a vibration. So unless you’re looking at your phone 24/7, you may as well have no checklist at all. Equally bad— it checks off the reminders automatically after the scheduled time has passed, not only removing the dopamine incentive that comes with checking something off your list, but also leaving people with short term memory issues unclear on whether they actually did or did not do a particular task. That said, this app has enormous potential, and I believe with some minor tweaks it could be the perfect partner for someone with ADHD. Selfishly, I hope the tweaks come sooner rather than later, because as another reviewer said, forgetting the cancel the trial just cost me (and my son, separately) $49 each for a year of something that is currently functionally useless to us both.

I like the free trial to test it out but don’t forget to cancel it on time like I did. It’s pretty easy to set up and use. I like the articles and mood tracker. The schedule works great too. I’m just not able to afford a new subscription due to the fact that I am disabled and social security is not enough to live on so I have to pinch every penny. I tried to stay on a schedule but I found that it wasn’t working for me and I started to ignore the reminders. I couldn’t find a way to snooze or mark it uncompleted either. I like to check things off my list to see my progress when I’m done. Thanks for letting me try your app and I appreciate what you’re doing to help neurodivergent folks like me. I’m just not ready to do without my pencil and sticky notes yet.
