- [R3] The best app ever: This app, has changed my life, forever. No other app has been used for this long and this seriously like this one. It has genuinely overhauled my entire life and made 200% more productive!! I can’t believe I didn’t discover it earlier!

U SAVED MY LIFE
- [R16] Structures: It was really good and it helps me a lot to structure my day into exactly what i am meant to be doing. Honestly top tier definately reccomend.
- [R17] Very happy: This app is just one of the best apps I’ve ever used. I suffer from bipolar and it’s actually changed my life. I don’t say that lightly. It’s a very very intuitive piece of software. Andover there are features wish I was there wish they had it covers, almost everything you could possibly need to have in terms of functionality.A big thank you to the developers. Kind regards, Sam
- [R15] Does what it says on the tin .: There are a lot of bloated apps on the App Store. It is way too easy to fill to-do apps with useless features. Not Structured though; all the features it has are important and it doesn’t lack anything I’d expect from a to-do app. A clean and easy to use interface.
- [R19] Amazing app: This app is the best it helps me plan an easy morning routine and weekend routine. It’s so good and so aesthetic its easy to make new tasks and it just helps my to get south done without forgetting . Love this app 5 star rating.
- [R27] Fit for a student!: The minimalistic design of this app makes even the biggest tasks feel less overwhelming (and makes them pretty). There really isn’t a single criticism for Structured. I’m a full-time college student doing a coursework heavy course, and I have to say this app has really helped me stay on top of everything. It feels so ‘clean’ and it’s so incredibly easy to use just as it is cust
- [R29] I really like this app: I like how simple and easy to use
- [R7] Helps with productivity: The best planner app I’ve ever used… it motivated me to get my day going!
- [R35] Very useful!: Structured pro is a great app for planning your day, tracking important events, or even just keeping on schedule with daily routines! I love it a lot because you can choose the time of each task - as well as how long it takes! It’s also nice to customise the icons of the task. Another thing, is that it’s very satisfying to tick off each task! The only feature that could be impro
- [R38] Amazing app: I have tried at least 20 different planning apps and this one is in my opinion one of the best, because you can do a lot of things without having to pay. The general design is made so it can have an aeshetic look or a darker one depending on your colour preferences. The only thing is that there are some features the free version doesn't include like recurring tasks which would make it
- [R32] I love this app: I really love this app and it really helps me to do stuff on time and be ready for school. I do wish that more of the stuff was free but as it as no adds then that makes sense. My parents won’t pay for pro but when I’m older it will be the first thing I do🙂
- [R47] Amazing app!: This app is free (unless it’s with premium, but it works great even without!) and it has helped me organise my day so much! Would definitely recommend it! 👍👍
- [R49] so helpful: as a student with autism, this is app is so helpful with just the normal version, helps me plan every hour to a custom time and colour and check it off when done. looked for an app like this for ages but this one is just perfect and helps me to not feel overhelmed.
- [R9] Terrible update: App crashes when the date on the top left is pressed, cannot jump to a specific date without scrolling, whole-day events aren’t even shown under the dates anymore, so you’ll have to click on the actual date to see if you have something. This update is literally a huge step back from what it was. If it doesn’t change back, or solve these problems that other people are also facing,
- [R10] Disappointed: I was using this app in the past and it was very good. Then I cancelled my subscription and after a while I decided to go to it again. Paid for subscription and now it’s not working properly. When I want to edit something the app freeze. When I delete my first app it said it will delete all data but now the same data appears on my app and I can’t edit anything because app freeze. So
- [R11] Great up until latest update: I’ve used structured for years now, I pay annually for it cause it was that great. This latest update is TERRIBLE! I cannot access monthly view - my app just crashes, cannot access the weekly view - my app just crashes. I have to physically scroll along until I get to the month that I want, and even when I get to it it doesn’t show that I have tasks that day that I KN
- [R12] App freezing after update: I’ve loved using this app, super helpful at organising my day to day. However, after a recent update whenever I click on the date at the top left to view calendar, the whole app freezes
- [R2] Excellent: I love this app's use of a timeline to organise tasks. A couple of features that'd be super useful would be to add durations to subtasks to "structure" them, and also to add labels for the different kinds of tasks. My gripe currently is the issue of the widget glitches. Keep up the great work, though! Thank you for this super useful program!
- [R25] Broken widgets: I started trying the app it looks pretty useful for my needs but recently the widgets no longer work even without the colour filter enabled for apples theme support. Otherwise it’s a really nice app.
- [R42] Very nice app: It’s very helpful and I love being able to change the colours and the widget options. Could we be able to adapt the widgets if we like though? For example, I would love to have the all-day tasks on my large widget showing its title and a circle to tick it off. And can I not see tomorrow’s tasks only my widget, so only want to see today’s tasks.
- [R50] Amazing: Fantastic app for productivity and planning, one caveat is that the widget doesn’t work / doesn’t display
- [R6] Full day tasks: Since the update, tasks are set for all day no longer show as a small icon when the day is not selected, meaning they can easily be missed. This means you have to select a random time to make them appear as an icon on weekly/monthly view, which is frustrating as this was never the case.
- [R33] Disappointed is an understatement: I used to use structured for everything, however coming back to find you can’t even add recurring events without paying for a subscription is ridiculous. Everything that used to make the app a unique and convenient planning tool is now behind subscription paywalls where if you purchased previously, back when it was a one off subscription you will be told there is
- [R4] Forced AI in a task app is the only downside: I have ADHD so I really love and have raved about this app to others for years now. I was looking into getting the lifetime version when they updated the app to have an AI tab. I really appreciate that the app doesn’t just give your data to OpenAi without your permission! But I wish they would make the AI tab itself optional, as it’s become pretty obst
- [R18] Suggestion for the AI features: As a daily planner this app is great. It does what it says it does and does it well. However, like literally everything in the world right now it has AI features. The app can still be used without the AI features but it’s kind of annoying if you don’t want to use it. You have to accept ChatGPT’s privacy policy to use the AI features. If you don’t accept ChatGPT’s pr
- [R60] Time adjustment: The app won’t let me adjust the times so I can’t plan my day.
- [R76] Good but not intuitive enough: The app looks clean and works well. However, it is cumbersome to select the duration and start time of each task. It would be nice if there was an easy and intuitive way to drag tasks into the timeline and adjust the time of the task by dragging.
- [R28] ADHD friendly: I genuinely think this is the only app that helps me keep on track. Once you know how to fully utilise this app with reminders, calendars etc it’s amazing. Also love the widget on my lock/Home Screen! So good Thankyou!
- [R30] Superb app for ADHD & procrastination: Structured is an absolute game-changer for managing my ADHD and battling procrastination. The app’s simplicity and easy integrations make it incredibly user-friendly. I love that I can do a brain dump in the morning and seamlessly add items throughout the day using the AI functions. Setting reminders on the go, even from the car, helps ensure I never forget a
- [R36] Absolutely Life Changing!: As someone who recently stopped being in denial about having ADD/ADHD this app has made me so productive and caused domino effect in how I handle completing tasks in other areas of my life. The UI is satisfying and intuitive to use as you can drag tasks to specific times of the day. Plus you can copy tasks from previous days, so if like to plan your days in advance it be
- [R85] ???: this app could be perfect but it hides being able to repeat plans which is a basic necessity for a SCHEDULE app. i don’t want to have to constantly rewrite when i need to brush my teeth or go to bed. hiding the most basic options behide paywalls is scummy
- [R59] Disappointed in functionality: I purchsed the pro version for Structured because I thought the interface looked great and I thought that a subscription would solve some of the obvious limits of functionality. HOWEVER, I've been disappointed to find that some of the main features I expect in a planner/organiser are missing: No weekly or monthly calendar view, no automatic rescheduling of unfinished
- [R99] Awesome app but there’s still a lot more features that are missing: Would be great to have a quick overview or some sort of indicator if you have tasks scheduled on the day in a per month view. Currently, need to go through each day for me to check if there’s any planned tasks for myself in the next 7 days or so.
