Folderly - Academic Organizer

The version of the app that you get for free is very cute and thought out. The color choices are nice, the course option is great, the calendar is a nice feature and so is the class schedule. You can add your own images to your id and other things as well which is very nice. There are a few issues I have that others might encounter. For starters you are only allowed to enter in three courses for free, otherwise you’ll need the plus version. This is pretty inconvenient since you’d never think that a core feature would be locked behind a paywall. Not only that, but the advertisement that shows for Folderly+ when you run out of courses promises you “unlimited courses” but when searching further it only says it’ll offer an additional 3+ courses. This difference does not make me want to buy the subscription, because what will I truly be getting? I understand money needs to be made, so I hope that when more plus features roll out, they’ll at least consider making more courses available. Another issue is the scrolling for start and end times. It’s quite buggy and you need to hit a very specific spot in order to get your proper time. It’s not life changing but certainly is annoying. Lastly, there is no way to look at your class schedule in full during the weekends (that I am aware of, if there is it is very unclear as to how anyone would be able to access it). Again, not life changing, but I don’t want to wait two whole days just to see my class schedule and customize it. It is a cute app overall, but you’re only getting 7 benefits overall with the free version (unlimited to-do list, 3 courses, the calendar, the schedule, and custom images).

Don’t bother downloading if you have more than three classes. I used to be able to have all seven of my classes scheduled and it really helped me with keeping track of time… disappointing
