  1. [R61] Structured 1/5 · US Worthless Now: Was excited for the AI features to help me import calendar and emails to immediately add them to my planner. But the ai feels so limited, can’t even do custom colors for tasks, and missed the point of the prompts I gave it.
  2. [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.
  3. [R62] Structured 5/5 · US Love: I've been using Structured every day for a couple years now. It's very straightforward to use and the UI isn't overwhelming. Plus, the team actually takes user feedback into consideration when updating the app.
  4. [R66] Structured 3/5 · US Needs More Color Choices: Great app with a plethora of icon choices, but the colors are lacking. For creative like me who need more variety in the sight of their schedule, a few colors just aren’t enough. Allow us to have hex colors or the color wheel will allow us to choose the colors we want. Five stars if that’s fixed.
  5. [R41] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Good overall: I use the app on my iPhone and find it works pretty good overall. It’s intuitive and syncs easily which makes it really convenient. 1 thing I wish for: that the app image had the actual date on it (instead of always saying 31). I also have a persistent bug where the app freezes when I try to type a location for an event. I have to close and reopen the app and recreate the event to ge
  6. [R68] Structured 5/5 · US This App is wonderful, and keeps getting better: Shoutout to the dev(s) and team behind this app. I never write reviews, but I am long time supporter. Your product is great
  7. [R118] Structured 2/5 · US Love it, but it crashes too often: This app seems to only work for a few minutes before crashing. I keep hoping that the new updates will fix it but it doesn’t. Right now it won’t even load fully without crashing. So frustrating since I work mainly off of my laptop and don’t want to have to switch to my phone or iPad in the middle of working to add something or mark it done.
  8. [R19] Google Calendar 1/5 · US Practically useless: I use the calendar regularly on my desktop. It takes WAY too long for any changes I make to reflect on the app. By long, I’m not talking a minute or two. I mean whole days pass by without the changes reflecting on the app. It’s insane and wholly unacceptable.
  9. [R46] Google Calendar 1/5 · US No longer worth having on iPad.: Need to reopen event fo sync to occur, for any changes made in the app to occur.
  10. [R96] Structured 3/5 · GB OK, sometimes: Works well on iPhone and iPad, but constantly crashes on a Mac which is really frustrating.
  11. [R67] Structured 1/5 · US Too expensive: The price for this ?!? Ridiculously expensive
  12. [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
  13. [R105] Structured 3/5 · GB Pro: Wish pro wasn’t required for all the good stuff 😞
  14. [R91] Structured 1/5 · US Was great till accepting AI required: I was a satisfied user of this app for years. But this morning when I opened it, it wouldn’t let me view my own information unless I gave unlimited permission for OpenAI to access my account. So I have sadly just uninstalled it on all of my devices. Very disappointing.
  15. [R104] Structured 5/5 · US Great Organization Tool!: I struggle with ADHD, and I have a hard time remembering to do things on a daily basis. With Structured, I can see exactly what I need to do within an a specific time frame, so I can remember to get things done!
