Hour Blocks: Day Planner

The app needs work to be optimally usable and I see no updates for 2 years. We are expecting some usability improvements as described by some reviewers since This is a paid app.

But… the calendar sync didn’t work

Great start but it’s missing is key features. Tons a room for needed growth. It’s a middle schooler trying to play in the big leagues. I like the general set up, the look, and general idea of how it works. Great start. You wont be able to find past schedule items so if you forget game over no moving it. Wanna move a schedule to a different time or day? Forget about it, not gonna happen. Wanna move a to do list to a scheduled time tomorrow? Nope impossible. Search past schedules or to do lists? No no no, I was it right why is it so they don’t want you to do that. Too helpful. Schedule something at 10:30 instead or 10:00? Nope impossible. You dont get to do thing unless it’s on the hour. It doesn’t link to your calendar although I guess half points because your calendar links to this app.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a setting to allow me to see the sub-blocks from past hour blocks! This will mean the difference between me being able to use this app and not. It would also be good to be able to save and repeat entire hour blocks, including sub-blocks, but that’s not as crucial for me.

Oh man this app would be absolutely perfect if it let you customize the block times. Not everything takes an entire hour…….

Best scheduling app I’ve found. I love the simplicity for planning out your day each morning, only thing I think would improve it is a feature to cross off each hour you complete. Great app.

Hi. Just downloaded the app- looks like just what I need. My day however starts before 6am- is there any way of changing the start time? It really should allow for all the 24 hours in the day.

The core blocks should be by the hour like you said in your response to a previous review. I agree with that. But there should be a “+” button that allows you to drop a block in between the hour blocks (that look exactly the same as the hour blocks) but that you can choose the time. I understand you want to keep the app simple looking (which you should and is the only reason I want to use it) but you have to remember no one plans their day only based on using the start of each hour. It’s unrealistic and makes the concept of time planning pointless if you’re only going to have only the start of each hour to base things on. You have the start of a great app but it needs more work. Make it more customizable without making it complicated. I would recommend following a similar concept to the app “Things.” Now hurry up and add customizable times so I can use the app properly as I’m sure a lot of other people would like to as well and you’ll have a 75% better app just by doing that. Thanks

I love how simple the app is. It’s easy to use and easy to find stuff on it. But I wish there were setting options that allow you to change the time in time ta to 15 or 30 minutes instead of just one hour.

Do you have to check your calendar to block time for an appointment? This app makes it easy to do so. If you run a business and need to book appointments with clients this is a super easier and it integrates with Apple or Google’s calendar. Only improvement I would recommend to the developer is when you go to look at a date (choosing calendar icon) you use the word “save” instead of “go” or “look.”
