Pick Weekly Planner if

  1. [R1] Weekly Planner 1/5 · US It became paid: I used it for several years, the basic functions were quite enough. Suddenly it became paid - now you can't plan something even a week in advance without premium. Deleting it, looking for a new daily planner. · translated
  2. [R2] Weekly Planner 4/5 · US updated suggestions 7/7/26: i have been using this app for a while now. it’s good. but i still would like to see a way to reorder recurring events permanently and an option to make recurring events happen “every x weeks/months” so that if i want to do something quarterly, i can do every 3 months. adding options like“the second monday” rather than forcing monthly events to always be on the same dat
  3. [R5] Weekly Planner 5/5 · US Love this app!: The Weekly Planner - Diary, Notes app has been a godsend for me. Paper calendars take up a lot of space, and the fancy technical calendar apps were too complicated for me. This app is perfect for me. It looks like a paper calendar to start, and I can type in everything I need without a fancy computer pen. It lets me use emojis, too, so I can pretty it up. Highly recommend! 🙂
  4. [R6] Weekly Planner 3/5 · US I love this planner, but I don't want to get premium: I've used this app for many years because it's the most convenient of all I've seen. A premium subscription for some features is normal, but when you have to pay just to make plans more than a week ahead in a planning app - that's too much. People who download planners don't just plan one week at a time, but · translated
  5. [R11] Weekly Planner 5/5 · US Great app: I've been using it for about a year, and overall I'm happy with everything. However, it would be VERY great to add a few updates: automatic synchronization between devices (it's inconvenient to press a bunch of buttons after every little thing); create a monthly planning section, not just a calendar or notes; fix bugs when a keyboard is connected to an iPad in the "today" tab. Thank you! The last update was · translated
  6. [R16] Weekly Planner 1/5 · US No order: It literally doesnt put events in timed order after your pick a time. Basic functionsdont work dont waste your time
  7. [R20] Weekly Planner 5/5 · US Love it!: this app is exactly what I was looking for. It’s not complicated and keeps my schedule perfectly. highly recommend it!!!
  8. [R4] Weekly Planner 1/5 · US All my data was erased on the last update!: All my data was erased on the last update… I was just getting to like it! I don’t like it now and will delete the app.
  9. [R12] Weekly Planner 3/5 · US Was 5 stars, now after update 3 stars.: I started using this about 2 months ago, was working every well for me and I had a good system down. I even paid for the pro version cuz it worked so well! I used the notes page extensively, made subcategories & it worked very well. Last night there was an unexpected update to the app, and now my entire notes page is gone, along with most of the additions an
  10. [R15] Weekly Planner 3/5 · US Cute planner, but…: I bought the pro version of this planner for my iPad and added the planner to my iPhone. It’s immediately noticed that when I added events to one calendar, it did not synch with the other. I sent that question to the developer. I never got a response. I sent to again, thinking, oh it was a user error and I did something wrong. Again, no response at all. So while the calen
  11. [R9] Weekly Planner 3/5 · US Loved this app but now features locked unless you pay: I love the easy of seeing my tasks for the week at a glance. Unfortunately, just last week I no longer have the ability to edit anything on two weeks, even though I already have tasks out farther. Asking me to pay $11.99 mo for something I’ve been using for years. Not cool
  12. [R10] Weekly Planner 1/5 · US Are you kidding me?!: The app isn't bad. But first they cut all the features, and now you can't even fill out the planner a week in advance! What free features are left? 1 week? Are you out of your mind?! I'm looking for another app. · translated
  13. [R7] Weekly Planner 1/5 · US Need to contact the developer: I've been waiting for a reply to my email for a week, please answer me! · translated
  14. [R13] Weekly Planner 1/5 · US no subscription after payment: On 22.02.2026 at 21:47, a one-time premium subscription payment was made. After payment, the subscription did not appear. Support is silent, money is gone, the problem is not resolved. · translated
  15. [R21] Weekly Planner 3/5 · GB Used to love it...: This was the best planner ever, until the latest update where simple tasks like copy and paste no longer work. I contacted the developer but had no response, so not sure why they've disabled copy and paste. It's useless as plans change all the time and was so easy to move things around the diary, but not anymore!!
  16. [R64] Structured 2/5 · US Free version too limited: Can only add 3 events per day with the free version. Want you to pay $30/year. No way to hide the AI button in the middle of the screen that you need to pay for.
  17. [R70] Structured 2/5 · US This game seems cool: This game seems cool but it said I had to pay monthly money which I don’t wanna do even tho it’s cheap I’m just not interested in subscriptions cause I already have to do that so I want a game that is free now it seems cool and helpful but not for me
  18. [R76] Structured 1/5 · US You can do better: As a Person with severe ADHD, I think this app is not giving me the opportunity to be organized. Without the Structured Pro plan, I can’t repeat some of the tasks that I need to do on a daily basis. To be honest, I do not have the money and patience for having to pay for this pro to only get 2 things unlocked. I know you guys got an Apple Award but the only award I would be givi
  19. [R83] Structured 5/5 · US Overall great: This app is like an all you can eat buffet, I don’t even have the pro version but still feels like it gives me all the luxury options. You should totally get this app if you haven’t already. it makes me feel so organized and prepared for anything.
  20. [R67] Structured 1/5 · US Too expensive: The price for this ?!? Ridiculously expensive
  21. [R73] Structured 1/5 · US Pricing changed and cannot purchase Pro Lifetime: I was using the annual pro, only for one year, and saved up for the lifetime for Pro. I'm extremely sad and upset seeing the lifetime rose so much in price. I can't afford it now and will unfortunately be moving to something else. I feel this is unfair... I genuinely enjoyed using Structured when I did, but it's unusable without Pro, for me at leas
