Review summary

Users praise the app for clear, on-screen reminders and easy usability, plus Google Calendar sync and a paid ad-free option. However, frequent complaints center on intrusive ads/overlay behavior, disruptive lock-screen usage, and a desire for broader calendar integrations (Outlook). Overall, strong usefulness and persistence in daily use clash with UI/UX frictions and monetization concerns.

Pros

Reminders and tasks are quickly visible on the first screen / home screen, making it easy to see what's due at a glance.
The app is easy to use with a simple UI and keeps users on task over extended periods, even months.
Calendar integration with Google Calendar (syncing events) helps manage schedules within the app.
There is an ad-free option via in-app purchase, offering a cleaner experience for those who pay.

Cons

Intrusive ads and overlay behaviors (displaying over other apps/permission requirements) disrupt usage and can block the screen.
Lock-screen and unlock flow is clunky or disruptive, with some reviews criticizing how the app forces unlocking to use it.
Calendar support is limited to Google Calendar, with users requesting broader compatibility (e.g., Outlook) to sync other calendars.

2026-04-26	Ca*****	One of the best apps in the app store! super slept on. I have not found a single other app capable of overlaying my lock screen and recording completed tasks to my Google calendar. Simple, precise, reliable, and customizable. I've been recommending it to my friends for years! It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I think I paid $10 for no ads? Worth it since I use it daily. The only thing that would make it even better is full task syncing with Google calendar - which I expect they will add.

2025-07-22	D *****	Really great app. I like it so much that I paid to get rid of the ads. Only suggestion I have is I wish the calendar events would show you what events are coming up in the next seven days. Other than that, the app runs really smooth. Thanks for making a great app

2024-10-26	Fr*****	this is the only app that managed not to be forgotten after a couple of months and still be used to some extent by me. that said, i really wish the task title in the notifications / on the lockscreen had more space between it and the corner of the popup, as it would be way nicer to look at.

2024-08-17	Ca*****	I appreciate the concept but i really dont like how i have to "unlock" the app to do anything else on my phone, and to claim its google policy that is preventing me from smoothly transitioning to my next app or homescreen? I personally find that disturbing. Google shouldnt have anything to do with the way this app functions. I have never seen another app with this "policy" issue.

2023-05-25	Ap*****	Need 2 customize cutsie tags on top shade string and/or turn off along with search engine shade. No need 4 another search engine datamining, & the tags are great if you're a 12 year old girl. I am not. Need to change the clock font. Been done w/comic sans since b4 I knew it was called comic sans. The lock screen implementation is a mess. Just makes opening phone screen clumsy. Just a button to go away & show normal lock screen is fine. Good utilities here, but it's all ugly and unrefined.
