MyStudyLife: Study Planner

I was pleasantly surprised to see the app was updated when I opened it to save my classes for this semester, but it kind of seems like the old one was easier for me to use. Maybe this is just me not being open to change. I also noticed that the app is now more dependent on data/wifi (I can’t save/update classes if I don’t have an internet connection) and that sucks a bit. Also, my calendar is always glitching. Sometimes I go there and it has no classes saved. I however think it’s a network issue still. I’d recommend a demo for the update. I saw a lot of new features here on the App Store when i came to review the app than when I was using the app. I’m sure I’d appreciate the update a lot more if I was fully aware of all the features it has to offer. Thanks so much! You’re doing a great job!

Really like to see more widget options

Love to see updates after so long! It’ll be awesome to see widgets also.

Seeing an update today, after 3 years made my day!🤩 Thank you guys for not abandoning the project, you’re awesome! I’m so glad to have seen the UI improvements & bug fixes! I have just one request currently which is to please & please consider implementing the new iOS 14 style widgets. Those will be really awesome to have. My Study Life remains the best app of its kind for me! Thank you guys & please keep on improving on it from now onwards.

I really love this. It helped me as an undergraduate and it’s helping me as a teacher. Really awesome!

Wonderful app. Just that the widget option is missing

Really keeps everything you're worried about together

Best application ever

I started using MyStudyLife in college because I couldn’t grasp Notion. Now I’d rather sit and use a paper planner. I understand the need to create an update, but the expensiveness of what was added takes away from the original reason many people loved the app. There’s too much extra stuff and the fact that dark mode is behind is paywall is jaw dropping. It was very user friendly and I recommended it to everyone around me. The new version does not fit what I need. It’s become too complicated, too extra, too many pay walls and too many steps for something that used to be easy, straightforward, and simple. A simple something to tell me when my assignments are due has become too complicated to do that. If you have it in you to learn how use Notion, do that instead of paying for stuff on this app. There’s plenty of YouTube tutorials and it’s free.

I used this app for the first two years of my college career. I loved it so much. I told every single student I knew about it. Then, they decided to completely overhaul the app over the summer. First, they introduced premium features. Great. Fine. I get you need to have money to keep the app running. If they’d been introduced using the old system, I may have considered buying premium just to support the devs. Except, they weren’t introduced using the old system. They were introduced using the new, broken system. In two years of using MyStudyLife prior to the overhaul, I never once had to contact support. Over the course of this semester, I contacted support no less than five times due to bugs. This wouldn’t be an issue if it weren’t for the quality of the support offered. Support staff took too long to answer and hardly offered helpful advice. In the most recent and most egregious example, I sent in a support query at the beginning of last month. It took them a week to respond to the initial message. I sent a follow up message, saying I had partially fixed the issue (without their help), but was now having another issue related to and preventing me from fixing the initial issue. It took them OVER A MONTH to respond to that follow up. Their response didn’t even address the issue I was having. I am so disappointed that I can no longer recommend this app. I’ve deleted my account due to the amount of issues I’ve faced this semester. To those reading this review wondering if you should download the app in its current state: don’t. To those reading this review from MyStudyLife: I understand these issues are likely not your fault, and some higher up probably decided everything needed to change. Regardless, thanks for two years of great scheduling help and I sincerely hope you can fix the problems with the app.
