I’ve always had issues with time management and procrastination, not to mention just forgetting about assignments and tests. I’ve tried for years to use a physical planner but it’s never worked out and I’d always abandon them after a day or two. So far I’ve only been using this app for a couple weeks but it’s completely changed the way I go about schoolwork! Because it’s online it’s always available and easily accessible, and I love being able to get reminders when I have a due date coming up. I can input as much information as I need about an assignment as well without running out of room, which was another problem I had with physical planners. With the different tabs I can see just my “tasks” or assignments coming up, or I can look at my calendar tab and see all my classes, exams, holidays and assignments for the month. It took me a few days to figure out how to fully use the website/app, but it’s much easier to navigate than some other websites I’ve used. Honest opinion, I’ve never been this excited about anything to do with school, but now it’s almost kinda fun to schedule all my classes, tasks and exams and to mark them as completed when I’m done. I feel so accomplished and I really feel like it’s in part thanks to this program. Maybe I’ll be back with an update when the semester is over. Anyways, I absolutely recommend!
I love how easy it is to create a schedule especially for college students. Some classes I meet twice in one day and it’s very easy to add into the schedule. Thank you for creating such an easy app to navigate! There are only two things I wish this app had; One thing I wish it has is the ability to add widgets on the apple iphones. It would be nice to see a countdown on my lock screen of when my class ends and/or begins. One last thing is I wish this app could be downloaded on my apple MacAir, but it currently doesn’t show up on the apple store on my computer. It would be nice to be able to see my schedule on my computer because it’s a bigger screen…or if I’m in class and I can see when my class will end instead of pulling out my phone. However, these are some of my personal preferences but this does not deter me from using this app. It’s a great app overall and very easy to navigate. I love it!
I’ve been using this app to plan my school assignments for a literal decade! I started using it in middle school and I’m now in my senior year of college. It was amazing! But this last update made it so unusable that I switched to a different planner app (Power Planner). With the new update, it’s incredibly difficult to manage the subjects you’re taking unless they divide into nice English, Math, Science, History labels. You can’t view a task unless you go to the calendar, which defaults to showing the day instead of the week or month, and scroll to the day where you made the task due. If you’re trying to put in deadlines from a syllabus, this means you could be scrolling for literal months just to make sure you actually created the assignment. The tasks show up on the calendar like classes, making it really difficult to tell what’s actually a class and what’s a homework assignment. It’s super confusing to even create a task to begin with! In what world does it make sense to default to the creation of a class rather than a task? It genuinely goes class -> exam -> task. That’s the opposite of the order that would make sense to use most frequently! The tabs of the old app used to give you a nice, legible dashboard that told you what tasks were coming up. Now, it’s impossible to tell what the tasks even are or when they’re due. I’m incredibly disappointed in how much they ruined this app when it’s been functioning amazingly well for years!!
I would normally give this app 5 stars in a heartbeat, I’ve been using it for all four years of college and it’s been an absolute lifesaver. A month or two ago, there was an alert on the app that said we should export our data and delete our accounts because MyStudyLife was shutting down, so I sadly did and found an alternative. Yesterday, I was recommending my friend a good college scheduling app, and I told her I would recommend MyStudyLife if it wasn’t unfortunately shutting down. But when we looked it up, the app was up and running!! I was very excited and downloaded it again, but my account is gone and all my data is exported so I needed to make a new one. The dev team is not communicating anything about the shutdown at all, replying to every tweet with “MSL is working as per usual and will continue to do so throughout the school year” despite many requests for recovering data and information on the shutdown. They are also not responding to my support email asking if there’s a way to import my exported data. I’m disappointed because I wouldn’t have deleted my account that I’ve been using for 4 years if I knew it’d be back in a month and the dev team should have been responsible for properly informing their users.
I began using MyStudyLife as a freshman in high school (2021). MyStudyLife had offered a simplistic and minimalist design that greatly eased my transition into high school. It had everything you needed and not much more, making it a very user-friendly experience. Though dark-mode wasn’t available, the inclusion of the colors you chose for each class throughout the app made it visually helpful and removed the risk it appearing too bright. The previous system organization of the school year, terms, subjects made it extremely easy to switch between school years and a quick set-up prior to the upcoming one. With all the stress and anxiety that accompanies senior year, I thought setting up MyStudyLife wouldn’t be part of that. Logging back in, I found my reliable app to be replaced with an almost-oversaturated design (not ideal for a last minute check-in under the covers at 2 in the morning). I’ve attempted to delete the automated subjects to replace them with my own and reduce the visual clutter, but with no success. Though there is a way of viewing previous school years through the “old-version” option, it only creates nostalgia for the version I would prefer to use. I will try to continue to use the app through the first few days of school, but at this point I highly doubt I’ll stick to it.
This was my favorite app for college these past two years. The layout and design was perfect and required very few taps and clicks to enter and view all the information I might need in a day, and it helped me stay organized with my heavy chemistry course load. Everything was also contained within 2 tabs, which was perfect. They updated the app the week before the new semester, completely wiping everything I had in it before and forcing me to reenter all of my information while I was moving and trying to get settled into my dorm. Not only that, but the new design is UGLY, boring, and counterintuitive. You have to click through 10 billion tabs to get to your tasks, and creating new ones is such a hassle when it used to be so easy. It also used to take 2 seconds to complete a task but now I have to slide this ridiculously slow slider every time. Why go in and ruin something that was so simple and perfect for its function??? The calendar setup is atrocious, too. Also they made new pointless functions that take up UI space just for the sake of having more things for you to pay for. I could go on and on about how horrible this update is, but now I have to go buy a physical planner since this one is so terrible. What a waste of a great app.
I’ve been using MSL very happily for 2 years. Until today I would have easily given it 5 stars. The app was simple, easy, and visually appealing. It was endlessly helpful in keeping my many tasks organized and reminding me of exams, and was everything I needed. I recommended it to all of my friends who needed help organizing their assignments. This new update has completely ruined the app. Half the features are behind a paywall now, and most of the features that are free are unusable. Most of buttons don’t work to the point where I can’t even add classes, the graphics are incredibly ugly, low-quality, needlessly complicated, and cluttered, and I can’t even import my classes as promised by the developers because that feature is behind a paywall too. Many useless new features have also been added that detract from the app’s main purpose, such as a timer — who wants that cluttering up a homework tracker? — and some AI idiocy. The paywall is also truly disgusting. I’m not paying $30 to keep track of my homework, I pay enough money in tuition. This is the worst update I’ve ever seen and I hope the app developers come to their senses, because I, along with what I’m sure will be many others, will be leaving the platform now.
I love this app. It keeps me on track of things and allows me to know when my classes are about to end. I like the slide bar a lot because it helps me organize which things I need to do first based on completion. I wish that this app would remind you after your school day has ended to add any new assignments. I tend to forget at least once a week so I would find this incredibly helpful and for those who wouldn’t want it, there could be a option to turn it off. Another tool that would make this app better would be to add groups. Some teachers use this site as a reference for students but it becomes a bit difficult for these teachers to email them stuff like this. I think groups would allow more people to get on top of their school work. And this would help students only too. They could create groups with peers in their classes so that if someone didn’t hear the assignment, they could access it easily. I do this a lot and constantly have to get it from friends. I give this app a four instead of a five just because of this
Hats off to the development team, the app works amazing and is very stable, no bugs whatsoever. I love this app and have been using it for a while, it has helped me in college a lot. Though the features in the app are amazing, I have additional ideas that would make it simply better. Due to the fact that this is for students, a lot of students have recurring assignments, so I would love to have repeat feature on tasks that allows the student to choose certain days of the week the reminder automatically sets itself. Another thing is the due dates, currently I’m only allowed to choose the date, while I understand most assignments are due at the end of the day for most students, I think if we could customize the time of the due date, it would be better. I appreciate the things you guys do for us students and I will continue to use the app whether the features get added or not, but those are just my thoughts on few things that would simply make this app better.
This app is splendid. I’ve been using this app for 2+ years and planned on using it again this upcoming school year. I use both the app on my phone and on my laptop. This summer, I was on mystudylife website to update my courses for the Fall, but the website stated that mystudylife was shutting down. We would not be able to add anymore tasks or whatnot on the app if we still had it. Therefore, I deleted my account and the app. I told my friend about this app bout a year ago, and he started using it. Because he was still using it, hat’s how I found out... it’s not shutting down?! Then what was the point of me deactivating my account? I love this app so much, I was devastated when I thought it was shutting down. But now I have to do so much to organize everything again now that it isn’t. Normally, I’d given this app a 5 star. But the lack of communication with its users minus two points... Can the creator let us users know now, is the app ever going to shut down? Also, please address what was with that shut down notification on the mystudylife website during the summer?
This app was a lifeline all through last year - seriously, 5 out of 5 stars. The task list with completion bars? Amazing. The daily schedule and weekly/monthly calendar? Incredible. The option for a mobile or web version? Fantastic. The fact that I could manage my studying for free? Out of this world! However, with the new update, all my data was wiped, and I’m unable to reinstate it. My school runs on a 7-day rotational schedule, which the app no longer supports. The new features seem really cool - if I could use them. I’m a little heartbroken because I loved this app, as it was everything I wanted after comparing and contrasting several, and a little lost due to my sudden disorganization. I’m hoping this review can be constructive - I don’t want to just complain, since that’s rather unproductive. I’m just hoping you can make it more friendly to rotational schedules like mine, and change the scan feature for calendars from MSL+ to a normally accessible feature, because it doesn’t seem fair to existing users to have to manually input all their data again. Thanks - had a good run, and it was nice while it lasted.
It’s great, I just have an issue with the calendar
I’ve used this app for almost 2 school years now and it’s served me well. It’s mostly simple in terms of creating a new task— it doesn’t make you go through a 15-step process to make one task unlike some other apps. I do have a suggestion though. When setting a due date for a task, it would be nice if it was in the format of a calendar, where you select the day something is due by selecting it on a calendar, rather than the scroll menu. The scroll menu is fine though, but it’d be nice since some of my teachers tell me which day of the week something is due, rather than the exact calendar date. A problem I have with the calendar is that my B days aren’t showing up in my second semester. They are set to be a year-long class too, I checked and they have the same setting as my A days. I tried temporarily setting my B days as an A day to see if that was the issue, but they still won’t show up in my second semester… Other than that, great app! Please continue your hard work, and thank you for making this app 100% free— I’m tired of all of these school apps making themselves “freemium” *ahem* looking at you quizlet… This app is a reminder that school doesn’t have to be a pay to win as long as you have the right tools.
This was a handy app for a long time, and I was actually looking forward to the new release; it looked like it was going to be a much cleaner, sharper design, and it is in many ways. However, the basic feature of the app - tracking daily schedules and upcoming homework assignments - has become a hassle. After adding this semester's classes and several homework assignments, I find I cannot even find any upcoming tasks past the next few days without clicking first into the class, then into the homework list, then finally I can view what is actually due. By contrast, the previous version of this app allowed me to view all of the assignments organized by dates. This means entering all of my assignments and classes into the app is actually risky; I could miss a long-term project due date because I did not click all the way through the different layers to see it. Sorry, devs, but I'm moving on! As a CS major, I understand the decision to add what might be useful features with a paywall for sustainability, but I'm not going to continue if the app cannot support the most critical function I need it for.
I have been using My Study Life for years now, and was looking forward to setting up my schedule for the new university that I’m transferring to this year, but found that a recent update has completely changed the way the program works. Mainly, the design of the new app leaves a lot to be desired, as I can’t create my schedule like I could previously and I cannot set the length of different terms for each school year like I used to be able to. Luckily, the website allows for you to choose whether you’re using the old or new version, but there’s no way to use the original version on your phone, which honestly ruins any chance of me putting the effort into using it. I loved being able to have my schedule and assignment list available to me on all of my devices, but with the current app…? All I can really say is that I will not be using it this academic year, and I will be searching for an alternative. I understand that sometimes things need to change, but giving long-term users the option to continue using the original version of the program would be very beneficial, until the new version can, at the very least, do what the original one could (and preferably without taking years to load!). To the MSL employee reading this review: I completely understand that it likely wasn’t your decision to make all of these changes! Thank you for taking the time to read and potentially pass the message on anyway! :-)
I have been a long time user of My Study Life (past three years) and have loved the app, but the new update is incredibly frustrating and difficult. I will set classes to certain days and they will appear on the wrong day (ex. setting a class to repeat on Monday and it shows the class on Sunday instead). I have tried to edit the location of classes and it’s made the class disappear from my calendar altogether. I have set my preferences (non premium settings) to certain things and they will not be reflected in my calendar: what day my week starts, the time format I prefer, the date format I prefer. I can’t view my whole weekly schedule on one screen anymore, having to scroll down just to see my whole class period making it difficult to view a full day’s agenda. It has become incredibly difficult to build a schedule in this app that I used to love before the update, unreliable to make a simple schedule. I hope there’s a fix or something in the future and I can enjoy the app again, but right now it is borderline unusable.
I really like how this app is set up, but there are two changes that I would love. I really like how the dashboard is laid out, and I think if you made it possible for the schedule to be color based as well as numbered or lettered that would be really great. My school has blue gold and white days, and I think it would be really cool if you could look at the monthly calendar and see the colors, either as the full square or a little dot. This would really help see what days are what at a glance, even for numbered or lettered days. The other change I would make is a grade tracker. I like to check in on my grades every week to make sure they're improving and I think having a feature that could graph that as well would be fantastic. Other than that I really love this app and how you can schedule exams as well as assignments.
i’ve been using this app for a few years now- and it’s a complete lifesaver. it’s simple and easy to use and yet very powerful. it also syncs your data over the cloud, and is accessable on a browser. oh, and it’s free. f r e e. as someone whose grasp on time is limited at best, the only thing that keeps me from accidentally skipping class is the notiflication function of this app, letting me know 15 minutes and 5 minutes before each class. especialy now, during quarrentine, because time absolutely does not exist when all your classes are zoom meetings and school ends before lunch. i’ve never really used the tasks and exams functions, but they seem to be ok. The only things I would really like added are the ability to customize the colour scheme in the app and support for iPad. other than that, it’s absolutely rad.
I loved MSL for the last 2 years. As a tutor I recommended this to my students. Sad to say I will no longer be able to. I will be finding a new app. It’s insane that we finally got a classification for our assignments like quizzes, essays, etc, but it’s now behind a paywall. The app is buggy even after they’ve said their update fixed it. The page it opens into is now useless and I have to search to find the tasks I have coming up. This is an entirely different app than it used to be and it has significantly lowered the quality of the experience and ease of use. As someone with ADHD, planning is difficult. I relied on this tool heavily to keep myself organized. I am not looking forward to having to find a new way to do this. I would’ve welcomed this update if it didn’t entirely erase the positive aspects of the already existing platform. MSL didn’t get a face lift or a couple touch ups, it’s been entirely reworked with barely any of the features left that made it useful. This is an incredibly shameful cash grab.
Great app! I’d like 1 more feature plus 1 adjustment
This is the best app I’ve been able to find for keeping track of exams and assignments. It would be great if you could add events or due dates to the calendar that aren’t necessarily associated with a specific class. For example, if I need to submit money to the head of a club for my club T-shirt by a certain date. Or if some professors offer extra credit to students who attend a certain fundraiser or event. Other than that I’ve been very happy with the app itself. It offers versatility in the ways you can view the calendar. One thing I might change is the full month view showing the color-coded dots for each class you have every day. I’d rather it just show dots for exams and assignment due dates, or at least have the option to change it that way in the settings. Would definitely be a 5 star review with those two tiny changes!
This is a great app to me to use when you are in school. It kept me very organized with my work. It was simple to use. It was free and didn’t really have any limits or you had to pay money to get the full app. There are three things I would change . One of them is giving us more with how we can set up reminders. Like if we want to be reminded everyday or every two days to do an assignment so we don’t forget. Another thing I would change is for the title I think there shouldn’t be a character limit. If we like long titles then we should be able to do that. The last thing I would change is if we could get reminded about whatever exams we have. Sometimes I forget about an exam because the app will only remind you of the day of an exam. It would be beneficial if we can be reminded about exams beforehand. Other than that the app is really great and I find it beneficial.
I have been using this app for 6 years. It got me through my last couple years of high school and nearly all the way through college. I loved how simple it was and never had any complaints about it. No app ever came close to how functional and simple this one was. That is until the most recent update. Now, most of the functions are behind a paywall (when everything was free before) and the schedule looks hideous. I had a very particular way of listing my classes before (ie. BIO 101: Intro to Biology) that worked for me. Now, they make you select the subject, (in this case, Biology) and the name that you include (Intro to Bio) does not appear on the calendar view, only the subject does. So if I’m taking two biology classes, there’s no way to differentiate them in the calendar view (unless, of course, you pay the ridiculous fee). This is by far the worst update for an app that I have ever seen. Now, I have no choice but to find a new app to use for my last year of undergrad and my future grad school years.
As someone with ADHD I struggle keeping my assignments organized and this app has been a life saver! That being said there are a few small changes that would be a MAJOR upgrade. If there was a task type called “reading” along with assignment etc. If when entering a task it automatically took the last subject and date you entered rather than reverting to today’s date and your first subject. I wish there was a way to note class on a particular day is canceled (maybe from the calendar). The last thing would be on the Dashboard where it says “3 tasks due” or however many per subject, it would be nice if it instead said how many tasks you still need to do. Would make it easier to see at a glance how much you need to get done.
I am currently a student in college, and I’ve tried so many apps, not many worked for me except for this one. I love how I am able to add my schedule along side the building and the room where my class takes place. I am able to have everything in one place and I love it. The only thing that I would like to be fixed, if possible, is that when I add an exam for a class and asks me for the time that I could add that it takes place during one of my classes because every time I add the time it says that the exam crashes with my class lecture but in reality is taking place in the same class. Another thing that I would love to see in the future is a widget for iPhone, I love widgets so it would be so much easier. Anyways, I love this app.
This app is fabulous because I’m very unorganized if I just keep everything in my head but I don’t have the patience to maintain a planner. This is so much easier because you can list assignments, classes, and exams, and the app reminds you when class is going to start or if you have an assignment due tomorrow and it works really well for me in college. Especially with the virus and everything because my teachers aren’t accepting paper copies of anything so we have to turn everything in online. Each class has a different platform which makes it hard to know what you actually have to do, but this way I can organize all the things I have to do into one place. This is a wonderful app. You guys should make a widget too for iphone! :)
I love this app/website! It has helped me with remembering both assignment and when my next tests are. I really enjoy the dashboard because oh how many things you can see at once. The app even sends me notifications on what assignment are due the next day and a reminder 15mins before each class! I am also a big fan of the way that the website and app work together, I can do all the same things on my phone as I can my laptop! I recommend this app to anyone who wants to be organized and make it to class on time. The one thing I would love to add is that when you use the progress bar on task, the amount that you have finished would be around the task circle instead of just done or not done. Overall great app!
I am a long time user, and I’ve always really enjoyed and this app, and it’s accessibility. But this update is extremely frustrating, buggy, and you need the new “premium version” to change the color of your subjects, and as an autistic student with OCD and ADHD, this feels like a slap in the face that I have to pay money that I do not have to change the colors of my subjects. Also, why on earth would you make the subject be the only thing I can see on the calendar? A lot of my classes are Theatre. I need to know what class I’m going into because going into a Stage Makeup Class vs a Set Construction Class are going to need very different things from me. The colors already correspond to the subjects, and the time is already on the side, so why is that the only two pieces of information that you can see on the calendar are the subject and time??? I need to know WHERE and specifically WHAT my classes are. And yes, I could go into each one of my classes individually to find that out, but the whole thing that I, and so many others loved about this app, is that I could see all of the information about all of my classes at a glance. It has also crashed multiple times while I’m trying to create a subject. I don’t hate the new UI, but I do hope that you return to your former glory in helping poor disabled students.
I love this app! I would like to see it organize tasks by not only day, but also by hour. I DO NOT want to see my third period assignment before my second period assignment. Furthermore, I think it should be easier to add tests and quizzes. I don’t love entering them into the “Exam” section. It’s a hassle and confusing. I think that “Test/Quiz” should be added in the tasks selection along with “Assignment; Revision; [and] Reminder.” When a Test or Quiz is complete, it could remove it from the tasks section and the dashboard. One last thing I would love to see is a progress bar for the day’s tasks. It would show the percentage of the work you have to do. That would be very cool. This is a great app, though. I love how everything is in-sync on my school computer.
i don't know about most ppl but I'm not big on using a paper agenda. If I don't have my backpack with me or near me then I can't check what hw I have. But what everyone always has with them is their phone. It is incredibly convenient to have an app to keep all ur due dates. I used to just use the notes app on my phone, but the layout of My Study Life makes it so much easier to write down assignments and keeps track of all ur work in a clear way. I also love that there is a feature to mark how much of an assignment u have completed, bc we all know it's basically impossible to get big projects and essays done in one sitting. I have been using this everyday since I got it and intend to continue for as long as my schooling career lasts.
This is a wonderful app!! It has really helped me to organize my schedule and helped to make sure i don’t forget any assignments. That being said, I would really love if you could add in a professor’s office hours just so that you could have all info about a class in there (unless maybe you can and i just couldn’t figure it out). It would also be nice to be able to set an assignment as recurring, because for many of my classes I have to do homework every week for class. Also, it would be wonderful if you could add a specific time (like 1:30 pm) for when a task must be done rather than just the whole day, and be able to see it on the calendar. This app could be absolutely perfect but there are just a couple things that are keeping it from being the only scheduling app i need.
I normally don’t write any reviews, but I am writing this because this app is really useful that it let me delete all the timetable, task manager, and exam calendar apps. The great user interface is another reason I came to love this app. I’ve been recommending it to a lot of my friends. However, there is a little room for improvement. First, the time table always glitches. Without any exception, whenever I go back and forth the weeks, the time table glitches and shows a blank table. Also, the time table lacks the function to cancel certain classes. Yes, it has the starting/ending dates option. However, users cannot remove a single class that is canceled due to the professors decision or whatever reason. Leaving a cancelled class on the time table is a problem because the app provides not a fixed table but a more calendar kind of a table varying by week. The user may find the uncanceled class on that week confusing. I really hope the time table improves because again, I find the app very useful and convenient and am loving it. I would like to thank the developers, who have worked hard on this and will work on the future bugs and updates.
The schedule is really great and definitely my most used feature of this app, but I always get frustrated when I’m trying to put something in the calendar but it won’t let me because it’s at the same time as something else. I can see how it’d be useful for it to work this way, but it’d be so much more convenient if you could ignore the conflict and put it down anyway. Maybe two conflicting exams are too far in the future for you to do anything about. Maybe one of those events is optional but you still want to keep track of when it’s taking place. This app prides itself on being able to accommodate for a complicated college schedule so one thing that would be great is for you to be able to see when events conflict, but also just put it down anyway.
This apps perfect for university students, but the only thing I’d add is an option for office hours. I don’t want to add them as class/tasks/reminders and it’s every week. It’s just good to know when they are, even if you don’t always go to them. I would also add like repeat tasks because in most my classes, all my tasks are due the same time and same day usually. It took a while looking at my syllabus and listing down all my assignments. It would make it a lot faster. Overall the app is great because I’m able to keep track of my assignments and calendar in the same app with an easier interface for university students than other calendar apps.
My Study Life has helped me so much! When I found the website online I was like wow this is amazing! Then I needed it on my phone. There are so many benefits to having this app. First off it’s free! Secondly you can keep track when all of your tasks are due and when all of your exams are. Next, if you enable notifications you will get reminders of when your next class is. Finally, you can add all of your courses by semester and you can add Hollidays. This course has so many amazing features that I would have never imagined would be free. Yes, you have to enter everything manually but it is WORTH IT! Download this app!! It is perfect for students and you will succeed.
The new MSL update is modern and sleek and has plenty of features to justify the small yearly subscription fee. After downloading the app, it took me less than 3 minutes to set up my account and upload my schedule - the AI Schedule Wizard feature was extremely efficient. Normally I would opt out of using apps like this due to the extensive setup process, however, this was so easy! +++ adding assignments/exams takes seconds and there’s no messing about with unnecessary information to fill out. The ability to move between the daily vs weekly vs monthly overview of the calendar is easy and helps me to look ahead and see a long-term picture of my assignments/classes. I am also very excited by the built-in Pomodoro timer as this is a study method I would normally use so now I have everything I need in one place! Whilst this is the early days of the new update and bugs are to be expected, the MSL team have been super helpful and responsive and I’m so excited to see how this new version will help me stay on top of my university schedule this semester! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the best app i’ve found that is also the best user-friendly, + it’s free :)) Being a college student w/ being in clubs + having a job makes my schedule super busy. It’s also stressful to stay on top of due dates, but this app is easy to use + it has separate categories for assignments, exams, and your schedule. It’s nice everything for the semester in the beginning with the syllabi. Before I found this app, I tried a bunch of other organization and time management things, and this is free, the easiest to use, the most organized, and the quickest. I love this app, I just wish there were cuter colors or an option to customize your colors when color coding.
I am a senior in college and have used this planner all throughout my college experience. I honestly cannot praise it enough. I never could get my mind wrapped around traditional paper planners and it always seemed like I either lost it or just forgot to use it. With this planner, all it takes is a little bit of time to set up your semesters and classes and then the assignments and due dates. It does a really good job at sending reminders for assignments that are getting close to the due date and really helps you stay on top of things. I would highly recommend this to any college student out there, especially if you despise going the traditional paper planner route.
I used the swear by my paper planner. I couldn’t find a good online calendar to display class times, homework due dates, and exams at a glance. But I decided to try the hunt for a good app again when I wanted to ditch my paper planner in hopes of keeping my backpack as light as possible. I found this app, and I love it! I prefer the desktop version as it has a bit more space, but the app is also great and has all of the capabilities of the desktop version. I also love that I can check my calendar quickly from my phone. There are only two things I wish I could change: 1) Add an “online” option for class times. The app requires you to enter a class time, but there is no option for online classes. 2) This might be iPhone specific, but I wish there was a widget for this app. I use Google Calendar for my personal events and work schedule, and I would love to be able to quickly look at their widgets side by side to get a more well rounded look at my schedule. Because of this, I still do keep my paper planner, but I no longer carry it with me everywhere. Great app! Thank you!!!
Let me start of by saying that I’m in my first week of classes and I have already uploaded EVERYTHING die up to spring break (2months). I absolutely love this app because not only is it accessible on my phone, but I can also access it on the website when I’m actually getting work done and typing reports. The slider bar for how much I’ve completed of an assignment is a FANTASTIC idea and one of my favorite features. One feature I do wish it had was the ability to input a time which an assignment is due. I currently put the time in parentheses, but having that option would make the app basically perfect. I highly recommend this app if you have trouble with remembering assignments or even being organized. It’s been a life saver in just a short week for me!!!
I’ve been using this since my sophomore year of high school, and i’m going to be a freshman in college this fall. i love this app! i do have a few suggestions though one, i wish you could customize the colors for each class a bit better second, i think that a widget feature would really make this app better so that you could see what you have to do each day on your home screen. lastly, i wish there was an option to add events to the calendar outside of assignments so that you could plan for study time without having to use a separate app. i’ve been using Time Tree in conjunction with my study life for that reason
I’ve been using MSL for over two years and this new update has not only got rid of all my old tasks and classes, but also it put everything into a format that’s overly complicated. I suggest either making a version where you can go back to the original because it was really good and most are used to it, CONSIDERING IT’S STILL USEABLE ONLINE VIA WEBSITE but not the app for some reason??, or just go back to that version in general. The new version has a lot of paywalls for simple features which don’t really matter considering the components of what makes MSL is still there for free, but the format change and the way it disconnected from the old version’s accounts is really infuriating. Change it back or give us an option to USE the old version ON the app and not send us to the website. We downloaded the app to use it for convenience, not get sent to the old website.
I have been using this app for 2 semesters now. And it’s a great way to keep yourself on track and up to date for all your classes. Disclaimer being you have to have the discipline to use it. I recently logged in after a week of exams and knowing I had no assignments that week to find being asked to sign in again. I did and my schedule and all of the assignments, exams, reminders I had taken my time to organize and plan were no longer there. Completely blank. What is the point of having an account if this is gonna happen? My only other complaint before this is that if you miss an assignment and you obviously don’t want to mark it as 100 percent complete the app continually reminds you off it and marks it as past due so the only way to make it go away is to delete the assignment.
I’ve just started college and use this app all the time. It’s amazing and would recommend it for any and all college students. It allows for easy organization of homework assignments and makes it all the more satisfying to complete them. I do have one recommendation, with that being the ability to customize how far in advance you see upcoming tasks. As of now on the dashboard it is hard set to only seeing three days in advance, but I would love the option to make it anywhere from 1 day to 7 days. Seeing a full week in advance would help a lot with allowing me to prep for more time costly tasks like essays and big projects.
This app has been so helpful. I’ve had a bunch of phone problems recently but when I had to use my friends old phone, I could just login and i hadn’t lost any of my assignments. It keeps things organized and it keeps me sane. The website option also allows me to view things on my computer and add assignments quickly no matter what I’m doing. The organization of this app is just amazing. I’ve tried so many planner apps and none of them work as well. The way you can put the schedule in is so useful. As I get use to the new school year, this is the most useful thing I own. If they ever charge for it, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
I’m in college and I have a huge problem with not organizing anything and forgetting about/ procrastinating on all my assignments and exams, but this app lets me keep track of all my academic everything. It lets me see what assignments I have due when and when my exams are. And since I literally don’t go anywhere without my phone, I always have access and no excuse for forgetting an assignment. This might not work well for some people and it’s definitely not perfect but it is my life saver and the only reason I’m not drowning in all the work I have. I highly recommend this to anyway in college (or high school) to at least try. It’s free so what do you have to lose?
This app is quite helpful and easy to navigate. I use it as a way to visualize my week as far as school goes so I can kind of mentally prepare for what chaos I may encounter. Life happens. This app helps me move my time around so I’m not stressing as much internally about how I’m going to be able to finish my work. In all honesty, this is the only student planner app I’ve actually continued using past a week or two. I’ve been using it for about 11 weeks now and I really like it. It has all I need and I’ve been on top of my classes. It’s really great. I really like that I can use this on my phone, laptop, and tablet too.
I am a college student with ADHD. It has been a lifelong struggle through education due to never being able to organize myself and remember things. I WISH I had this app sooner. The only thing that would benefit me greatly to be added to this app, is if you could receive more than one reminder a day about upcoming assignments: as I can’t remain focus, and much of the times miss reminders due to my ADHD; it would ensure that the assignment is more likely to get done this way if it’s being thrown in my face that it needs to get done. Also would be helpful if the exam reminders could be set for 1 week, 2 days, 1 day; rather than 30min, it’s kinda useless if one needs to prepare.
Hello! I have been a faithful user of this app for almost 5 years. It is literally a life save both in app form and desktop form. I highly recommend using it and the best part is that it’s free!!! There’s only one thing I’d love to see. As a college student now, I tend to take one online class a semester. On the app I have to add a time for everything. It would be nice to have an option for “online class” or “all day” for the calendar portion. That way I can avoid the I missed a class heart attack. The last thing I have is a small suggestion! A cool thing to see when creating a new semester is also having the space for a brand new class list. This way you don’t have to shuffle threw al the prior classes or go through the long process of deleting the 20 classes you took in a semester. Regardless of these two things I have always and will always love this app! I know that’s it’s future is bright and I hope to use it in the future and recommend it to my future students!
I think this is a really great app and a handy organizer. It tells you when you have a class or when an assignment is due. However, there isn't any noise for notifications so I don't always know if I'm late right away. Also, you can't change it so that an assignment is due by a certain time of day- it only says it's due by the first class of the day. Also there a few glitches when I am switching from, for example, "tasks to new task" or another thing the title stays there under the new title, if that makes sense. I am still using this app right now but might look for a different one. But it would be really helpful if you could hear a sound when you get a notification and if you are able to choose the time of day when an assignment is due.
I wish this developer would allow us to use Verison 1 on the app still and continue to support it. I loved using this app to keep my organized as it was free and did what I needed it to do. There were a few things I would have liked added but it did the job. I was going to use the paid version this semester but this new update is bug filled and clunky. It is so much harder to navigate and took away lots of features that were easy to use on the old app. To top it all off they are updating this during my semester so I have to input all my data into the new version if I want to continue to use it. They have this AI that scans your schedule to make it for you but doesn’t get all the information I want to include. Why change something and make it worse!
This app seems great, and I’ve heard a lot of other people share their good experiences with it. However, there’s one simple thing that a lot of other, poorer apps have over it: the ability to create a widget with your current assignments. Even if I have notifications on to remind me of assignments, it’s still likely that the notification will be quickly forgotten after I first see it and it gets dismissed. I’ve used a couple of other list apps, and they all have the function of making a home screen widget with a list of your most recent assignments. This would improve my experience with the app GREATLY, as I use widgets for all of my other lists.
