User Reviews

Users praise Homework Pal for its simple, clean UI, color-coding, automatic sorting, and strong usefulness for staying organized. However, multiple reviews describe data loss during updates, mid-semester transitions, and a shift to a more complex/less approachable interface. The introduction of ads and a paid version, along with data-port concerns and accessibility gaps, has caused frustration. Overall, it remains valued for simplicity and effectiveness, but changes have caused trust and usability issues.

Pros

Simple, clean, and easy-to-use interface.
Color-coding by course helps visually distinguish assignments.
Automatic sorting by due date and moving completed tasks to a separate page.
Free to use with no base-cost features required.
Helps users stay organized and not miss assignments.

Cons

Data loss during updates or mid-semester transitions with no easy way to port data.
The newer version is overly complex and detracts from the original simplicity.
Ads and a paid upgrade disrupt access and push users toward a different app.
Accessibility improvements are needed (e.g., date selection for VoiceOver).
Some users report missing or disappearing completed tasks.

The new update is nice and all but it’s really over complicated in my opinion. I feel like both versions of the app should be made, the simple one (how it was before) and the more complex one (how it is now), so people could navigate how they want to organize their work

I really liked this app for its simplicity and ease of use. The layout was clean, and I appreciated being able to check off assignments as I completed them. Unfortunately, the new version feels overly complicated, and it’s lost the very features that made it appealing in the first place. What’s even more frustrating is that the update was released in the middle of the semester. For an app designed specifically for students, it would’ve made much more sense to roll out major changes during the summer. To make matters worse, the transition erased all my saved assignments and schedule, forcing me to start over from scratch. Sadly, this experience pushed me to switch to a different app—one that keeps things simple like the original version did
