SkedPal

This app has saved me from going insane. It’s not always perfect and has a steep learning curve but the developers did an excellent job building this. It saves me from manually keeping track of so many different tasks.

SkedPal is the only auto scheduling tool that works in practice for me, thanks to its fine grained settings, sync with google calendar, and sync across devices. It takes a lot of stress out of busy work periods and helps to stay on top of things. The UI looks a bit dated, but is functional.

Pluses: good rescheduling; tasks in outline form works well with my brain; potentially very powerful; tweaks in colors of tasks and events is helpful; solid calendar integration. Minuses: not very intuitive, steep learning curve (I gave up several hours in and after 10+ videos); had issues with seeing notifications on iOS and Web apps; iOS app does not match the Web app and hasn’t been updated for over a year; natural language processing is far from complete vs similar apps; expensive.

Don’t waste your time like I did. This app and it’s NLP trash are not helpful. I couldn’t even get through the setup before I aborted this app. At the moment I’m trying to reach support to see how I can delete my personal information from their servers and EVEN that is difficult!! OY!

The concept and execution of Skedpal is amazing. The reason I give this 3 stars is because the app itself lacks many important features. Almost all of the settings have to be changed on a computer. Adding sub-tasks is either nonexistent or hidden somewhere where i can’t find it. The UI on the website is clean and intuitive, but on here it feels cheaply made.

Not user friendly at all. No decent instructions or tutorials. Chaotic.

I’ve been using SkedPal for a few years now, and the computer program was just what I was looking for—a way to say what I want to do for projects and regularly occurring tasks and then be told how much I need to work on them to get the tasks done. Or, when I’ve been overachieving and can’t get everything done. This companion app doesn’t have a lot of the functionality of the computer software, but provides my daily agenda at a glance so I know what to work on, and permits rescheduling on the go. The new scheduling tool is awesome, and gives me a greater say in how to prioritize when everything doesn’t fit in my schedule. One thing I would like to see is the ability to do partial completes from the agenda when only some of a task is scheduled for the day.

This software has really helped with my planning ability. The new planning guide on beta looks really good and is quite effective. The modern life needs a task scheduler and doing it manually by hand or with outlook is very time intensive. This software has some missing features like partial completion on the iOS app and adding notes to specific instances of recurring tasks but the ecosystem is sound. Would definitely recommend. Hopefully the price doesn’t go up as it gets better.

I tend to use the desktop app as much or more than mobile but am very happy with both. This app is worth every penny in my opinion

I love the idea of this app, and it’s just what my ADHD brain needs. It is pretty complicated and has a lot of different functions, however, and I hope they’ll develop more training material for understanding it. What they have is thorough and extensive, but I find it overwhelming. I would like a clear progression of text and/or videos: SkedPal 101 with just the basics, then more that walks you through different elements of it. Either that or an online course, which I’d pay for. I know curriculum development is expensive. But I like this app because it can help me with my short-term memory problems and my general overwhelm, and these same problems make it challenging to learn the app.
