Amie - Todos, email, calendar

You have to pay and it uses only Google Calendar

I got included as a beta tester for Amie and it’s amazing what the team has achieved. I personally use it as my calendar of choice, schedule todos and overall become more productive during my day to day. Apart from being incredibly useful, the app is amazing! It contains beautiful designs, smooth interactions, haptic feedbacks, animations… I simply love it!

I’ve tried almost all the current day planners that are good for personal use (as opposed to ones geared for teams) and I really like Amie. Fun details, enjoyable UI on both desktop/web and mobile(they clearly took a lesson from Things). REALLY needs iPad and Apple Watch versions. Everything is fast and fluid, but bugs persist. When I reschedule tasks dates will change back. Sometimes the Today list will show 0 tasks when there are tasks. Room to improve but I’m hopeful.

A big requirement I have out of my calendar app is a nice home screen widget, and was a big reason I chose Amie. With a forced update they have removed this feature (perhaps moved it to paid?) and consequently lost a user. Great looking but sometimes odd to use UI, sometimes slow interfacing, and a mediocre product.

I just think there’s a few things missing here and there but overall has a lot that has me sticking around for now with the free version. I’m not much of a planner. I do however have an iPad I’d like to use this on that I can’t. I feel like that’s a big part of this for accessibility for planning having it on a bigger screen like an iPad. Other connects would be nice not to rely on google calendar. Maybe I’m new but I wish it was easier to make events on mobile . I often have to make a task then make it an event.

I love the app and how it’s designed and runs. I do have a problem with not being able to change the color of events connected to one particular email. Once that it fixed that will bump it up a star. So on to the changes or add. One is how to add custom alert for events. It’s so annoying to do it on the iPhone. It takes me way to long to make an a 1 day before event alert than it should. The wheel or whatever you want to call it is just bad in my opinion. Nice that it’s there but there are better ways to do it. I would also have the ability to use it in landscape mode. Sometimes I just like to use it in that mode. I know the repeat event is coming soon to iPhone app but it’s still not here and that’s a big usage for me and probably many others. So I would get that done asap. One last thing I would add is the ability to add travel time to an event. I like to know how long it usually takes me to get to an event so I know when I should leave. Also it lets me know when I should be ending other events and when not to make events so I’m not late for the event. Add/make all of these changes and have my one email work like it supposed to and this app will be a 5/5 for me.

I NEVER write reviews on the App Store, but after seeing that Amie just has 3 star I had to! This is by far the best calendar app I ever used; and I tried a lot of them, they usually all are clone of each other or don’t provide really much of an improvement from the stock calendar app; but Amie is in its own league. First of all it’s incredibly well designed, and maybe that could be something that get some getting use to, but once you understand how it works (it not hard) it’s a breeze. The way todos are organized is amazing, the fact you can just drop them in your calendar is 👌, and now emails in your calendar ? It sounds weird, but actually it’s a very good idea, I would say it’s only practical if you enable that feature for professional email addresses as it would not be manageable if you have a lot of spam or newsletters. Now the integrations, it may sound gimmicky at first that you can sync your health data, sleep, Spotify and so on, but actually it makes Amie the central piece of your life, where you can see everything about your day at a glance, and it’s really nicely done :) The only thing id say is that the subscription is a bit pricey, but honestly, I think it’s worth it.

App is a productivity jack of all trades, master of none.

04.04.2024 update: I’ve now been using Amie since the beginning of the year and it has changed the way I work. I truly get so much more done. It’s not perfect but they have been working round the clock to make it better and it’s on the way. Customer service response is awesome, the way the takes get converted to events are amazing! If I were to have one complaint, is to me it’s expensive and almost all the paid features wouldn’t be used. All I’m looking for are more than one integrations, everything else I don’t need. I wish they would have a middle tear to support multiple integrations for a cheaper price than the current price. I’d happily pay part price just for integrations and nothing else. Other than that, all the other features are being worked on and I can’t speak highly enough of the app. Original: I’ve been looking for an app that will keep me engaged to remember to go back to my to do lists. This is one of my favorites so far and I’ve only been using it for a couple of hours. What I would love to see in future releases: 1. Although you can move lists up and down to re-order, the order doesn’t stick (at least on iOS) - kinda annoying. 2. Need zoom integration in iOS to create a zoom link when creating a new meeting 3. Need attachments in tasks- hyperlinks, Images, etc for quick views 4. If you do end up supporting attachments, Offline access would also be nice. Perhaps more requests to come, but quite honestly if those 4 items get fixed/added, I’m ready to leave my current apps and use it full time. Keep up the great work!
