  Great but Desktop version has lots of bugs

  I love this app! One of the reasons that I love this app more than other homework orgainzers is cause I can use it on my Microsoft Watch. When I was imputing my courses into the app on desktop I found that it was very bugy (especially when deleteing courses, color coding, and movement of courses between semesters). I also was very confused about the whole account system. There is nothing that tells me that I have to get premium inorder to get an account. So, I ended up contacting the creator who was very nice in informing me so. I just wish that it told me in the app (I checked the mobile app also). I also would like to beable to input the times that I have classes on the desktop app instead of having to switch over to the mobile app for that. I am really excited to be using this in the upcoming school year and hope that the desktop will have lots of updates to make it as good as the mobile version! Thank you, Matthew Gleich

  Good Organizer

  I really like this organizer. One thing I wish it had was a feature allowing me to set reminders. It allows you to set START and DUE dates, but under the DUE date is an alarm section. I cannot tell if it is really activated as, whenever I set a “Days before” for the time I want, after closing and reopening the assignment, the “days before” zeroes back to “NONE” and only my time remains the same. This is crazy frustrating as I’ve already inputed well over 50 assignments prior to my discovery. Also, the app has on several occasions not saved my assignment description text and I had to go back at least half a dozen times to put them back in. The trick I used was to write it all in and just sit with the app open for a few minutes, close the app, and then reopen and my descriptions were saved. But I imagine that this is because it somehow needs to sync with a server or something? Perhaps if an “APPLY” button were added, which allowed for a save and sync behind the scenes, that would be great, especially if the App crashes, which it did for me 3 times in the first 3 hours of installing, making me lose quite a bit of data entry each time. It is a good app that was well thought out, looks similar to the Windows calendars, and contains quite a bit of useful tools, such as adding a syllabus (I added my downloaded course schedule instead). I think having the ability to link a document or more to each assignment would be a MAJOR bonus. And as another user said, having the option to create plans and schedules for tasks within the assignment would be great! For example, if I have a Project Paper” assignment, rather than just having the start and due dates, I would like to be able to add start dates to the tasks to remind me to get a move on! This feature would be great for professional procrastinators! Reminders are ALWAYS necessary! 😊 For now, I add tasks I need to start early on separately.

  Print/Organization

  Unable to print calendar from Windows. Also, class assignment organization is unclear even when numbering research and assignments to keep them separate and clear. Not worth the price and time I invested in setting up this tool up with my syllabus. Not sure if refunds are an option. :-( App needs more tweaks to take organization of assignments to the next level.

  Crashes, crashes and crashes

  Been working with this for about an hour now and it has crashed no less than half a dozen times. And because it crashes, all your work is lost. DONT DO IT!
