User Reviews

Pocket Informant is widely valued for its all-in-one calendar and tasks, robust customization, GTD features, and strong multi-calendar support, making it a durable choice for power users. Long-term users praise its reliability and effective Outlook integration. However, recurring friction includes onboarding and cloud-sync sign-in prompts, subscription prompts, and feature gating (e.g., color coding) that irk free-tier users. Several reviews report poor or unresponsive support, plus usability challenges for new users and a confusing setup. Travel-related time-zone changes can mis-shift events, and there are occasional accessibility concerns. Overall, it’s powerful but has notable usability and pricing drawbacks.

Pros

All-in-one calendar and task management reduces switching.
Rich customization, layout options, and GTD features.
Excellent multi-calendar and reminder integration across calendars.
Long-standing reliability and loyalty among users (used for years/decades).
Helpful support, including successful guidance for Outlook integration.

Cons

Frequent sign-in / onboarding prompts to cloud sync, disrupting use.
Pricing model gates features (e.g., color coding) and subscription prompts.
Customer support is often unresponsive or slow.
Usability issues for new users; settings unclear and confusing at first.
Time zone travel auto-adjustments alter event times, with no simple way to disable.

Been using this app since I switched from BlackBerry >7 years ago and it’s been pretty good… UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND-when now it’s useless. All my comments (phone nos., emails, important dates, etc.) for business appts. are gone! This is an unacceptable problem. I depend on this software and now I can’t function. No response since yesterday by support despite multiple requests for assistance (one yesterday and several today). I paid for a yearly subscription for the last 7+ years. If you depend on your calendar like I do-YIKES! I’m maybe regretting keeping this software…

I started using informant in my palm days and continued with my iPhone. Excellent, readable and useable calendar. Excellent task manager. I would love integration with Todoist
