This app used to be amazing. I used it for both my Freshmen and Sophomore years of high school, and it worked great. I could put in all my assignments, view when they were due, set up my schedule, and set days off. It was all very easy to use, and very flexible. There was an option to get the premium version, for a one time price of around $5. I choose not to get it, because I can stand the ads. However, for some reason, they have decided to switch to a paid subscription service. Now, it is so expensive, that if you upgrade to premium you can only get two months with the money you could use to previously get the one time purchase. You can’t even skip premium now, as the app limits the number of assignments you are allowed to enter, rendering the app useless after about a week. (No you can’t just delete old assignments to dodge it) With no new added features, this switch is ridiculous and indefensible. This app is no longer usable, and under no circumstances should you pay the subscription. The app is not worth what they’re trying to charge. In turn, I’m sad to see this one go, and very disappointed that they decided to ruin such a useful tool for school.

This used to be THE BEST app for college scheduling for free. They recently switched to a premium option which requires payment to view your weekly schedule and even add assignments. While it makes perfect sense for the developers to see payment from their work, users can’t help but feel slighted when they have been using these options for free for years. I would gladly pay to help support this app, but the idea of a subscription for it is ridiculous. The CHEAPEST option currently is $12 a year, which over the span of a four year college degree is $48! For a an app that helps you organize your work. This app should cost max $5 for a one time purchase, especially since they haven’t added any new features in the past years, since I got this app years ago. Or, at the very least they should have kept the same options available to users and added new features that would justify a ‘premium’ payment. This action to make the app unusable to users without a ridiculous subscription with no new features shows lazy development and obvious greed on the developers part.

Honestly, the app itself is really great. It organizes everything super well and is really great for any wild schedule. I can mark when I want to be reminded and set tasks, exams, save professors, etc. Though, after one semester, it requires me to watch an ad for every assignment I add. I didn’t mind, though, because it was my way to support the app since I can’t buy the ad free version. Now, though, after two semesters, they have added more ads. The ads before were only when I wanted to add something and the ads themselves weren’t glitchy or anything. Now I get ads randomly while I’m trying to do something that glitch the app and there are banner ads that lag the app. I find this to be really scummy and if it continues, then I think I would rather use a different app even though I really like this one. Edit: Changed to a one star because I can’t even open it anymore and if I reinstall it I’ll lose all of my data. Also, premium only??? I was willing to watch a hundred ads and now it’s premium only?
