Power Planner Reviews

I have tried so many different apps. This one has been by far the easiest and cheapest. Th e only thing I would ask for if they could have a subsection for a class. Many science classes have labs that are a part of the class but are separated in grades and affect your overall grade. It would make calculations much easier for me. I would also recommend an option for classes that use points instead of percentages and the option to remove the classes when it’s exam day during the semester. Other than that, I would recommend this to others.

Deleted all my classes and wouldn’t let my access my old ones without the new sign in system and even then I couldn’t without making an account despite that I’ve been using PowerPlanner for a very long time now. I loved PowerPlanner in the beginning is was easy and really help organizing all my classes and really liked the format too unfortunately when I opened it the last time it would not let me see my classes or do anything unless I created a account of logged in, unfortunately this resulted in losing all the data I previously put, very unhappy

This has to be one of the best planner apps on the iOS App Store (believe me IVE LOOKED). You can organize classes by color, add your own details to each class (like a teacher’s contact info), link it with google calendar, etc. what I love the most is that unlike other planner apps you DON’T have to subscribe, you purchase it once if you want to buy the full version, and I can definitely see myself doing that.

I do have a couple suggestions that would make it 5 ⭐️‘s. PLEASE add in a way to organize classes during a block/rotation schedule. Instead of Monday-Friday it’s Days 1-8 and periods 1-8

This is how my school does it, and I want to be able to use PowerPlanner for keeping my schedule as well as assignments.
What I mean is; let’s say you have 8 days and 8 periods. You’re setting up 2nd period. On day 1 2nd period is 8am-9am, but on days 3-8 it’s 9am-10am.

That might be confusing, so tell me if you need more info, but “My Study Life” has what I’m talking about.

These are the buttons
Class> New time>

Day Type = Numbered day
Rotation Days = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (can select multiple)
Start time = 0:00
End time = 0:00

PowerPlanner itself is amazing with all the ways it allows you to organize your classes, assignments and assignment types, semesters, grades, etc. It’s very user friendly and it syncs across devices perfectly. My only complaint is that the desktop version doesn’t have any of these organizational tools—if you want to change the assignment type but input the assignment on desktop, you’ll have to open the mobile app. Also, if you try to insert a task under a specific class and task tab, the assignment defaults to the first class on your list rather than that class you’re entering the task under. Please make this more computer accessible!

I live and die by PowerPlanner to keep me organized in law school and genuinely recommend it to everybody! A little bummed that the last update changed one of my favorite features. On calendar view, you used to be able to see a small preview of the day you tapped at the bottom of the screen (like on the first picture). After the last update, calendar view takes up the whole screen and tapping a day brings you to the full day view without the calendar. I loved being able to see both at once and would love that feature to be brought back!

I wish I had discovered PowerPlanner sooner. I started using it for my freshman year of college and it is one of the best things I have ever done. I can see my entire school schedule as well as my to do list at a glance. Everything is color coded and you can even add things that don’t have to do with school. Big plus is that all your information in synced through iOS devices and even Microsoft windows(my laptop). I payed for the premium version only $2 and it never expires. PowerPlanner also calculates your gpa based on the grades you put in and it really is a live saver. GET PowerPlanner

I’ve tired another planner app, but ever since their update it wasn’t as good as before, and I saw someone in those reviews mentioned switching to this planner app, so I downloaded it and it’s the best thing ever.

I just decide to pay for the pro version because it’s definitely worth it. Instead of getting a planner that’s 5 or 10+ dollars at stores, you can just use this virtual one for only 3 dollars. I def recommend people to use this

I would love to add dates where i skipped or didnt have a certain class to help keep up with coursework. Like a note for the day or something

Also! I was thinking a function where you could transfer tasks or event to other days, while saving the same information because ive had goals/tasks assigned that i couldnt do the same day or where moved further and have to delete and open a new task another day to make it again.

Maybe modifying the reminder times would be okay but i dont mind.

This is a great app. I wish it had a couple more things, like widgets, but by and large it is flawless. The premium upgrade is only $3 for a lifetime purchase, which is incredible value, but even without it PowerPlanner is stupendous. I simply can’t recommend it enough. Makes everything easy for organization, keeping track of work and classes, has a great interface, easy to use, everything you’d want. If you are a student, please get PowerPlanner.

This is by far my favorite planner app. I love that I can have it on my computer and phone and it all syncs. Everything works so great on it. I’m finished with school and plan to continue using it for my personal schedule.

One thing I wish it had though was an easier way to switch between calendar views, calendar view, day view, and agenda view. I wish they could just be tap buttons at the top of PowerPlanner instead of a list selection. It isn’t difficult just an extra step I feel.

I’ve been on the hunt for the best planner for college. When I tell you I downloaded 15 different apps I’m not lying. This one stood out to me because of the grade tracker! You have the ability to customize PowerPlanner very easy. Adding tasks is super easy! I do wish when choosing the date it would pull up a mini calendar rather than being a little box down below. Not a big deal at all though! Also, I would love if PowerPlanner were widget capable!! That would really set PowerPlanner above others.

So this is my rating after using PowerPlanner for 4 years. PowerPlanner definitely caters to those in school or with a busy schedule. Im in school and have 2 jobs. I add my jobs as a class on PowerPlanner and it's made managing my schedule so much easier. I swear PowerPlanner is solely keeping my life together.

I've tried other planner apps as well over the years and always end up coming back to Power Planner. Being able to access PowerPlanner on your different devices is great. There's a ton of helpful features buy the UI also stays simple and digestible. The developers have done a wonderful job!

My only request is allowing the user to customize the color of PowerPlanner 's user interface. That's probably the only thing I truly dislike is the default blueish-purple color.

I’ve never written an app review before but just wanted to say this has legitimately organized my life in the way I’ve always wanted. Syncs quickly between my phone and PC and I just love the look and layout of the planner.

My one suggestion: When adding a task or event, it’d be awesome if we could see the days of the week next to the date while setting it since I often know what day it’s due but not the exact date. I recognize this is a super picky issue that does not affect the overall greatness of PowerPlanner and still recommend it to anyone.

This planner is great! Helps me stay organized and one of my favorite features is the grade tracker. It syncs to my google calendar so I can see due dates in my calendar app. The developer did something very rare these days. A lifetime purchase of the pro version. As of this review the pro version is $1.99 super cheap. With this you unlock the ability to create more than one semester as well as other useful features. Nowadays everything is subscription based. Which is fine for some things but to charge a monthly subscription for a school planner I think is greedy. I greatly appreciate the developer understanding that college students don’t have a ton on $$$ to spend on subscriptions. Thank you for creating PowerPlanner!

I don’t usually review things but I’m in the middle of my fourth semester using PowerPlanner and I feel like a credit is due to PowerPlanner! First semester I really struggled with organizing all of my assignments and tried so many apps until I found Power Planner. It is the perfect app for being able to keep track of due dates and plan to complete assignments. It gives me the ability to see how many assignments I have coming up for every single class. I don’t even make use of all the features so I’m sure it’s even better than I know!

I recently got an iPad for college and was in the market for a planner! PowerPlanner works fantastically. It is fully featured, simple, has a nice interface, and is really affordable! I have some suggestions: 1. There is a bug when adding tasks and events on iPad where the UI shifts to the left and becomes too small when you try to change the class or date. 2. More fully featured Apple Pencil support would be great 3. Some kind of weekly view where you can see and add tasks would be really useful for me Overall though, really great app!

PowerPlanner has been incredibly useful for me as a high school student to keep track of assignments and know when my homework is due. Glad it has a computer and mobile app, even more grateful it’s free. Thank you for making such a useful tool.

The only things I’d suggest is to allow users to sort assignments based on priority, not just date due. Although I understand the financial needs of a small app, It would also be nice to have the recurring feature be free, since that’s the negative aspect that sets it apart from other apps.

Great service!!!

Just in case anyone was looking for an app for managing school work this is the one I use and I absolutely love it. Easy to use and syncs between my laptop and phone. There is a pro version for purchase but it’s a one time purchase and less than $5 if I remember correctly. Works super well for college even though I’m only taking online courses but I think it would work well for any high schooler as well. I need it on my phone because I’m always losing/forgetting a paper planner or simply forgetting to update it or look at it. This sends me notifications for reminders.

I searched through many planner apps on here for iPads ( pocket, myHomework,etc.) this by far was the best choice. To begin with PowerPlanner is the most affordable (only one time payment of 2$) for the premium; and you get a great value app for your buck. Other apps would have ridiculous monthly and yearly subscription prices for a least productive service. PowerPlanner is underrated. It needs more recognition. Perfect to manage my college class schedule and assignments. Has great organization. Some parts of PowerPlanner could be tweaked to be a more smooth when adding the times for tasks and classes. But all in all I highly recommend. Will update if I encounter any issues.

I’m very impressed with PowerPlanner. Since Corona, I’ve needed a planner more than ever to keep up with my assignments. I love that the to do/checklist has an option for you to slide your progress bar when you start working on something and get some things done, but maybe not the whole task. I love it so much! It was the feature I never knew I needed. It also prioritizes your checklist by due date which is how I roll! It has things due within the next two days grouped off and after two days is in a separate group. I’m utterly impressed.
