24me: Calendar & To-Do List Reviews

by Kpearce200

I never leave reviews but I’m compelled to leave one now in hopes that it prompts another update. When I first came across 24me in 24me Store, it sounded like everything I was looking for. So I downloaded it. I was right, I absolutely LOVE 24me! All of my list, appointments, tasks, meetings, etc are all in one app. What I loved the most was the ability to add a family calendar which we use for my kids athletic events. It has been everything I can possibly dream of having in a calendar app. That was until the recent IOS update with dark mode. Everything still works but it is EXTREMELY slow. Anytime I open 24me it takes minutes for everything on the calendar to load. And to make matters worse, just days before it started acting up I paid for the premium version because they took away some features that I used often on the free version. So I paid full price for 24me and now it is no longer working like it use to. I really love 24me and was so happy to finally find an app that incorporates all of my needs. I really don’t want to switch apps so PLEASE HELP and fix this issue!!

I had high hopes based on the tutorial videos, but I guess a lot of the functionality has been removed in recent versions. You have to manually add each bill and a link to the website where you pay it, which makes it no smarter than a regular recurring calendar item, for instance.

Also, it only links to the native Apple calendar, reminders, and contacts. This is mostly not a problem, except that Reminders is terrible and I’d much rather link to Google Tasks or something (anything else, honestly). They even have to use a workaround where users have to “archive” (i.e. hide) tasks in this app in order to mark them done in Reminders, which is weird and clunky, and you can’t delete tasks at all, just archive them.

So, two stars for the aesthetic and the ability to call/text/email from a calendar event at a single button touch (though who sets up a reminder to text someone instead of just, you know, TEXTING them?), but it’s not worth the annual cost to me.

Checked this out after it was featured in 24me Store. The price was steep but I’m willing to pay for a quality product. First problem: they can’t decide when you do pay for it if it’s this app Premium or this app Pro. It’s a red flag when you either have changed the name of something and can’t bother to make sure it’s changed everywhere…or you just haven’t made up your mind yet. Checked with support: they’re both the same. Which means they’re aware and haven’t fixed it yet. The feature I most liked the sound of was the “Procrastination Fighter” as described in 24me Store story. There is no sign of this that I could find in 24me , nor in the support on the site. In fact, the only mention I could find of this feature profiled in 2021 is something from them back in 2015. If I’m paying for you to help me get organized, I would expect you to be organized about it. They’re not. If they ever get their act together, this might be a decent app and I wish them luck. Uninstalling.

24me does the same job that I was using 3 different apps for. I had one for scheduled appointments, one for daily tasks, and one for checklists. This does it all, which I like. My only issue is that, while it does everything I need it to do, each area that it takes care of could be better.
One thing I would like to see is an update with the tasks. I would like to be able to customize when they repeat. Such as... every other Wednesday, or every 3 weeks, etc. Right now the customization for repeating events is very limited.
The other issue I have is that 24me doesn't alert you if you're scheduling appointments that overlap. And, I would like a calendar view that shows me which time slots are already spoken for and which are still open.
Lastly, I would like to see a little checklist icon on any task/appointment with a checklist. I would like to be able to push the icon and pull up the list only (instead of going into the edit screen for the task/appointment). That way, I can get to my list and check things off without worrying about accidentally editing the task/appointment itself.
24me does and okay job covering each of the functions that I need it to do. They just need to dig into, and improve each function so that individual pieces are competitive with the more specialized apps out there.
Keep up the good work guys. It'll get there.

I don’t feel comfortable providing my credit card information BEFORE I actually try 24me. I’d feel differently if the monthly subscription option was available. Losing $5 or $6 bucks is more doable than $30 for me. It’s a shame because from what I’ve read, I think this is 24me I’ve been searching for. Calendar, to-do list, shopping list, Nag Up, color options, & more. It seems perfect!
I just can’t run the risk of having to fight to get my $$ back in the event that I’m not satisfied with 24me. Sorry!

UPDATE...
I’m highly impressed about the fact that my review was responded to so because of that, I’m trying out 24me. It seems to have a lot of great aspects so I’ll update once I use it for awhile! Thanks for caring about your customers!

2nd UPDATE...
I like 24me a lot so far. I particularly like the way the tasks are setup. There are 3 separate sections; 1 for now, 1 for next week & 1 for later. This is extremely helpful when prioritizing tasks. Looking forward to exploring more ways to be organized.

I use 24me every single day & it’s so helpful. I wish I was able to custom set tasks though. I am responsible for particular tasks at work, but my work schedule is MWF & S so when I create a task & need it recurring, it only allows daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. I need to set a recurring reminder for every other day. This is just a little thing tho, other than that I Love it!!

I really love most of 24me - the notifications aren’t intrusive, i love that you have tasks, notes, AND events in one place, and I love how customizable it is. However, I’ve had issues where an event was added or updated to my calendar in this app, and it didn’t update in my email client. I have my account connected properly, and I do see calendar events FROM my Google calendar in 24me , but if I change/add to the this app calendar those changes don’t populate back to google. I’ve actually missed a couple of appointments because of it; if I am not at my computer I only use 24me (I made it the only calendar app on my phone, I don’t bother going to gmail in the browser). Not that it is the apps fault when I could have double checked; but the fact that I find myself NEEDING to double check is disappointing. I know authenticating between sites can be really finicky these days so it could be an issue on Google’s side as well. But either way - just a word of warning!

As someone who works in software development, I’m very familiar with workflow, features, etc. I came across 24me and instantly loved the UI and the features it includes. As I am working to set it up and (hopefully) replace other apps that I use, I’m coming across issues that may stall a transition. Primary issues are that it is slow and freezes quite often. A simple task such as editing the content of a note with no formatting takes seconds for cursor placement, text highlighting to copy/paste, etc. When selecting tags or setting properties it often freezes and I’ve found I have restarted 24me every few minutes. I have restarted my phone several times. It is an iPhone XS. There are also workflow gaps which hopefully are going to be addressed in coming releases. Unfortunately, while I want to love 24me, until some of these issues are addressed it’s not dependable enough for me to abandon my other productivity tools at this time...

Only rated 4 Stars due to it being so new to me. Seems wonderful so far, but won’t fully be able to review for at least a couple of weeks of use. I do like all the features and how easy it is to use so far. I do have a question though, and maybe this isn’t the right platform to ask, but I really need to know how far back I’ll be able to search for a previous entries? My previous app that I used only allowed for 1 year, but it critical for me to be able to search back longer at times. Now the data was still there, but I had to go back through every day of the previous year to find something, but it’s way to time consuming. If this isn’t the correct place for a question, maybe someone could guide me in the right direction as to where or whom I should ask. Thank you...love😍 24me so far!

I’m a paper planner for sure, every once and a while I try to switch to a digital planner for the time saving ability of inputting reoccurring events, sending events to people, searching events, etc. I’m a nerd, so organization and planning is a hobby of mine and I spend a lot of time searching for a better option. This one is working pretty well, but there’s still a few things that I find disappointing. First, I love that you have options for a daily, 3 day, weekly, or monthly view. But there’s no quick add feature when you are in any calendar other than daily so you have to remember the date you are planning on and input it manually. Second, I wish there was a date selection option for each calendar view. Where I can just quickly request to skip forward 4 months 6 days from today instead of having to either swipe forever or which calendar views, select the date, and then switch back. Last, I’ve had some standard calendars set up on my google email account which has some basic calendars set up - birthdays, parenting plan, reoccurring events, etc. you’re not allowed to edit these events in 24me, so you’re forced to either not sync your accounts or use both calendars if anything needs to be modified. This is only day one, so we’ll see how it goes!

I really, really want to like this app and make it my main calendar/To Do app, but the fact that it doesn’t have contact integration is a HUGE oversight! I don’t have time to put in each individual address as I see clients on the road every day. I emailed them this suggestion at least 2 yrs ago... still waiting. It’s odd to me that a business contact list is such a large part of doing business but seems to be the weak point and overlooked here. I’ll continue using other apps until this app wakes up and see the light.

I’m revising my original 2 star rating to 4 thanks to this app’s suggestion to update by using Meet in 24me to garner client location details.

24me is still a bit clunky and not quickly intuitive but now that I can update locations on maps, and get updates on my Apple watch, I’m thrilled and I sincerely appreciate their correction on this oversight on my part. Thanks guys!

I have probably bought every task management/appointment app there is, and I have a couple that I use and really like, but I thought I'd take a look. To be honest this app looked interesting, but nothing I hadn't seen and couldn't really do in the other apps. However, the notes section of 24me cannot be beat, it's in a separate class by itself. But what really drew me to 24me is it's persistence at constantly communicating to let me know what's going on during my day. Whether it's just, "you have stuff to do," you have a meeting, or a little car honk to say you should leave now if you want to get there on time, it's always ready to let you know what's happening. These reminders, and notifications aren't anything that other apps can't, and don't already do. It's more in the way that this app does it. What should be annoying, is actually great. The little nags, hey you got some free time why don't you get some stuff done now. this app comes as close to a real automated personal assistant I've seen. To this point, I've really started using it and not just because it won't leave me alone, but because in the way that it does this that makes it great. this app has a clean interface that it almost looks a little Spartan, but my experience so far is shown that it has a lot more good stuff packed into it, than at first glance.

Pros- I’ve had 24me since around Feb/Mar. I use both the calendar on my iPhone for my personal life and Outlook for work. 24me is great for consolidating all events and reminders from any other calendar that you may use. You can also add events, tasks, and reminders directly thru 24me. Also has a notes feature, but I don’t use it often. I think it’s user friendly as well.

Cons- So far, the only issue I’ve had is with the Tasks feature. You can add in any tasks, and even organize them by category of tasks they are, but once you have completed the task, it doesn’t “go away.” So I have a long list of tasks that I have marked “completed” that still are visible. I would like to see them add a feature that says “hide/show completed tasks,” just to make it more organized. If there is a feature of the sort that exists, I haven’t figured it out yet. Nonetheless, would still recommend!

I love how much this app has been helping me just in the first week that I've been using it. I've been much more organized and productive because of it! I love how it merges my to do list with my calendar and allows me to easily move tasks around. There are a couple of things that would make it even better.
When I choose Sunday as the start of my week, and then set a task as weekdays only, 24me incorrectly assigns the task to Sundays through Thursdays, making Friday and Saturday the "weekend." I can choose Monday as the first day of the week to remedy this, but then the calendar view is disorienting and confusing vs what I am used to.
Another issue is that I cannot make a calendar event occur on weekdays only. I can do this with tasks, but not events.
Also, is it possible to "cross off" a daily recurring task as it's completed each day without having the box pop up every time? (And still have the task show up the next day?)
Thanks for making an easy to use app for distracted, time-challenged folks like me!

I only downloaded 24me a few days ago, so I’m still playing around with it and figuring it out. So far, I love it. I’ve done a lot of research on different planner and calendar apps and have tried just about every one on the market. It’s been difficult to find one that has the functionality that I’m looking for, and so far this app seems to fit my needs. I don’t want to have to switch between 3 different apps to organize my life, because then I don’t stay consistent. Not to mention, I’m a full time student and I work full time, and most apps are directed towards one or the other. this app is diverse enough to use it for anything and everything. One thing that would be cool is if there were more icon options for tasks, i.e. the call icon that adds the contact. There should be the same option for emails. Personally, I would also like to see more icons for school related tasks, or even just a way to customize the icon (e.g. adding your own emojis or symbols). Anyway, the reason for 4 vs. 5 stars is because I’m still a newbie with it and I feel it’s too soon to know for sure. Once I have more experience with 24me , I foresee myself changing this to 5 stars. Thanks for the great app this app!

by ReesePowers

I love 24me I can add anything about my day including who I’m meeting! Remind myself to do both big and small tasks, keep lists; and even check off items as I get them done! I unfortunately am a poor broke college student and have no money to upgrade to the premium version of 24me but I can imagine it only gets better. I would hope to see a possible option to maybe add in a work/ class schedule for the week? As of now you have to enter them as meeting or tasks and having the option to enter a long term schedule with work and school labels would be awesome! I would recommend 24me for anyone who has a hectic schedule and needs who greatly benefits from constant reminders, before 24me I wrote everything on my hand and lets just say 24me has made things a lot easier!

I literally just downloaded 24me and subscribed to the Pro version and I am already in love. This is so much better than my Apple calendar…so many features and I will definitely be using all of them. This really is as close to a personal assistant as an app can possibly be. I like all of the personalization options and the Someday Tasks option is great. My life right now is very hectic due to my husband’s illness…caring for him, working full-time, writing, acting as admin for a Facebook group, taking care of the house and our pets, etc…, so it’s difficult for me to actually schedule some things, so the Someday Tasks option will allow me to put tasks on my calendar as a reminder without having to move them them around when I’m unable to complete them as planned. I am very happy that I found 24me and that I subscribed to the Pro version. Thank you for this amazing app!

by Redcape527

I literally just downloaded and subscribed yesterday being it’s a perfect all in one app that fit my needs. Woke up excited to fiddle around and use this app this morning, When I click on icon, it goes in... gives me the Face ID check mark BUT throws me right back out to my home page time and time again?? I can’t get and stay in app now, I uninstalled then installed and seemed to work fine, until I logged in then kicked me out to homepage. Please look into this ASAP, Thanks

Update 3/31.... Problem Fixed right away, Thanks for your attentiveness and services, 24me is great, and look I know minor bugs/problems arise in all apps from time to time, we subscribers would hope they’d be addressed in timely manner, sooner the better (obviously)and you guys did just that. Thanks
Godspeed:)

1st things 1st, I have down loaded about 60 planner apps, this one is by far the best one yet, with the tasks on the calendar page, the ability to make grocery type list, and everything has the ability to attach notes, it has great reminder options, I can't say enough. For those people that can't get settings to work, they are working on the issue, I contacted customer support, they told me it has issues with older version 0/S. I updated and it now works perfect. They are working on the fix for older versions, not having settings is no big deal though now that I see the difference. But still nice to have.

Over all fantastic planner app, with great customer service, they responded each time in less than a day. Good job on building this perfect app.

I have been searching for ways to become more paperless and organize my day so I decided to give this app a try. After a few days they sent the one time offer for the Pro Edition, which I decided to purchase. I am ok with one time prices but dislike monthly subscription prices.
So far I have synced my 2 different work calendars and my personal calendar, but I was also able to do that in Google. The feature I like most so far is tasks. I use them for my daily to-do lists and set the Nag up so i keep getting hourly reminders. If I reach the end of the day and didn’t complete the task I just change the date to the next day and start all over.
I also use task plus sub-tasks to create my shopping list which worked out really great today. I actually had two lists created, one for items I needed to purchase for work and a separate personal list.
I have not used the note feature yet. I have been using Good Notes to create notebooks for each major project at work and have the ability to jot down things quickly with the Apple Pencil.
Until this app is compatible with the Apple Pencil I am not sure the notes function will be very useful. It is so much easier for me to jot a written note over typing. But I will keep working with it to see if I can find a useful function.
Like I said in my title so far so good but and I gave it 5 stars but it is not a game changer for me but I also need to delve deeper to see what other functions I may be missing.

I love 24me, even now. I use Actions, also by Moleskin, to list, and organize items (great feature!) . I am an attorney and this allows me to enter tasks and appointments on the fly.. Many nice permutations of the Tasks - flexible due dates and classifications for the tasks.
I'm on Microsoft Exchange, so calendered meetings/events appear on my other MS Exchange Calendars. However, Actions. Do not sync with my MS Notes in Outlook and Tasks.

Wish list:.
X. Action puts all "due" items into the proper date in Timepage. I would greatly prefer that I could pick and choose Action items to sync with Timepage.

X. I would LOVE Desktop Windows 10 versions of Timepage and Actions that gives the user the freedom to sync certain portions of calendars/contacts/tasks and Notes; with each other and with desktop.

X. Please give us the flexibility to choose which files to syncs and which files don't, regardless of the source of the item (e.g. items entered on Windows desktop should sync with Timepage and/or Actions on my iPhone. And vice versa. I should be able to have the flexibility to choose the other apps with which files to sync. The sync should be able to go both ways (from iPhone to Windows; or from from Windows 10 to iPhone 10 desktop and from Windows 10 with the user having the ability to choose the Source of the info, which info in the Source you want to sync (leaving the rest of the items purposefully unsync'd).

It’s taking a little effort to transition from the default calendar on my iPhone, and I’m still not sure I’ve got this app working up to its capacity.
One concern: My wife and I send invites to each other from personal and work calendars. She downloaded this app last night and we played around with it. I believe the sharing feature would work like the invite feature, but I doubt she’s going to give up either her work Outlook system or her personal iPhone calendar, so I’m not sure how/if our invites are going to work across platforms.
Otherwise, it’s beautiful and the complete package for managing my time & tasks. I love having my own photos on the calendar.
I’m working on a political campaign and I’m going to suggest my colleagues try this app for coordinating our meetings and events.

by Swift Bombay

Using this to help me manage my classwork this past week and it has already shown results. The reason for 4 stars and not five is that I can’t customize events to repeat multiple times a week (like a class that meets on Mon/Wed/Fri). I have to set a repeating event for each weekday the class meets.
One key to helping with a project (such as writing a paper) is to create tasks for each step of the process. In this, the Nag feature is great, but it’s behind a paywall. I’m lucky enough to be able to afford the $30/year, so if you can spare the funds, it’s a great feature.
The link to the Apple Watch is key for me. My phone is on DND most of the day, but the watch keeps me notified (also silenced, but the haptic notifications allow me to get my reminders without disturbing classmates or professors.

I have been using 24 for as long as I can remember and many times I’ve tried other Todo apps and always come back. I was actually looking for a new Todo app when I came across 24 in the list of all the similar apps and decided I should rate 24me and see where things are heading with it, and if I should continue or move on.
I should say up front I am staying with 24 and holding out for a PC version to install on my laptop. The lack of a windows PC version is my only complaint. It would be great to have a version that would integrate everything that happens in that world without having to deal with google and there need to be in every aspect of your business and share it with the world.
Keep up the good work!

At first, I didn’t understand how to use 24me . Not because it is difficult to use, but I’m more of a paper planner kind of guy. The tutorials are phenomenal, and explained everything. So, as I went kicking and screaming into the digital age, I began to see the real value of these devices that I can’t be without. Kinda like when I finally decided to get an iphone. I bristled at the thought of paying so much for what seemed so little. Forget the fact that there was more computing power in the palm of my hand than on any Apollo Mission, I just couldn’t justify the expense. Now, I couldn’t see being without it. Non-productive time is now productive. I would like to say to my other neighbors in Bedrock, yes 24me is awesome. Take it for a spin and see for yourself. As for me, I’ll have to put the cat out now.....WILMA!

by PKUKT5782

I’m very happy with the ease 24me can be used. Sometimes I find it hard to stay focused. 24me keeps me organized and focused. The easy installation of my information makes it one of my favorite apps. I have recommended 24me to all my friends. My brother was amazed at how organized I am and I recommended he may want 24me. He has Parkinson’s Disease and is starting to find tasks a bit difficult. Take the stress out of your life and get 24me. I love that it welcomes me to a Good Morning, let’s me know what’s planned ahead and keeps me informed of my schedule throughout the day. Don’t want the constant notifications? No problem. Just set them to your liking.
