Day Flow Reviews

Have yet to find any meaningful improvements using DayFlow over just the standard iPhone calendar. I put in my activities the same way there as I do on Day Flow. The AI “assistant” is comically worthless, providing nothing but generic information for my tasks and simply delaying adding tasks to the calendar while it takes time to essentially do a Google search for information I don’t need or care about. There’s an “inbox” feature to add unscheduled tasks to…but no way to easily transfer them to the calendar. When there’s open space on your calendar the AI “assistant” prompts you to add activities to it, which would be an excellent place for it to suggest the unscheduled activities in your inbox, but nope. Just more useless suggestions of generic tasks.

Overall DayFlow is a complete waste of money that I’m genuinely irritated I got swindled into paying for. Save yourself and just use the iPhone calendar. It’s the same thing, probably easier honestly.

Spent $50 for it to not even understand basic commands like “can you move ‘work out session’ to 11:45” . It just duplicates the event… hopefully the AI gets smarter because as of now I’m having to manually put in everything which defeats the purpose of having an “AI” . The calendar app on your phone is free and does just about the same thing. Also when you try to add things to your schedule it schedules it on times where you are busy… why? “Please add walk dogs to schedule for tomorrow “ and it will add it during your appointment?!?! There is also no way to see your available time slots easily like how iPhone calendar shows when your tasks overlap and when you are free so you can easily add new events or change current ones…

How long does it take for your events to sync to your Apple calendar? Its been over 2 hours and I’m still not seeing them in my Apple calendar. The Apple calendar is way better to view when scheduling, but the day flow calendar is good for viewing when actively doing the tasks scheduled.

When there is a chance to offer good customer service, a corporation should take it. I was attempting to sign up for a trial of DayFlow but inadvertently signed up for a year. I immediately reached out to try and get the refund but no luck. The response I got was you should try it, it is a really good app. I said tha was what I was attempting to do, TRY IT, but accidentally signed up for the whole year. I asked for some type of refund and then the customer service went silent. I sent a couple more messages but no response. It has been my experience that when a company has a good product that they have faith in, they don’t need to keep money that was accidentally processed. First ever review for an app, but this one really disappointed me.

I am deleting DayFlow, because I was not given enough time or the opportunity to check out DayFlow to see if I even like it before being overwhelmed and annoyed by the pop up to try to make me upgrade to the paid version of DayFlow kept interrupting me when I was still working on setting up the basics like daily alarms. The first time it came up, I had only been on DayFlow for about 30 seconds and had only made it past the first step, so I didn’t know anything about DayFlow yet or if I would even like it. I almost deleted DayFlow right then because it made me think I had to pay to use DayFlow until I noticed a small faded X in the corner of my screen. I don’t like companies that use tricky, misleading sales tactics like DayFlow does. I decided I would keep using it because I was really looking forward to using DayFlow to help me become more organized and remember things. Then like 2 minutes later, when I was trying to set up my wake up alarms, it popped up again in a different way and I tried to get it off the screen so I could save my alarms, but it just kept popping back up. That was ridiculous and a complete waste of my valuable time. I didn’t have a chance to even see what features DayFlow has to know if it would be useful to me at all, because I wasn’t able to make it past setting a few basic alarms and I don’t need an app for that.

My disclaimer is that I have a 2-year-old, a 7-year old, as well as a class of high-maintenance Stanford undergrads who I teach. My .time is never uninterrupted.
So far, day flow feels like another needy person. this app, I just installed you, and today, you told me I had 8 overdue tasks - one of which was installing your app. Except , I obviously just did that!. Are you gaslighting me, this app?
But My main complaint is that if i speak to you, i must hold an invisible button, to let you know that im speaking. (God forbid my toddler speaks, sings or asks for Bluey) this, So you can slowly transcribe my comments. I watch your white blobs think, like pixelated sands of time. You’re far slower than my typing on my phone one handed while holding the toddler, stirring dinner, and with the other hand , writing an old fashioned to do list on the Back of an envelope on the kitchen counter. What’s the improvement of this over Apple notes, which has excellent voice recognition? You don’t even know you’ve been installed . Sayonara, this app. I’m keeping my envelope and #2 pencil for now

I love the concept and I see a lot of potential.
I love it, combines all my reminders and calendars in one. And I like the UI and how it helps me never let a task escape without me, rescheduling it.

There are two main things that make it a mediocre product right now:
1. Asking the AI to add tasks or edit tasks is almost impossible. It can’t seem to understand when I say tonight, tomorrow, this Saturday, etc and always requires me to edit the created task. It’s also extremely slow. I’ve given up on using it.
2. I would expect an AI productivity tool to do more than just create/cancel tasks with AI. It would be cool if the AI could also help me organize my day more efficiently based on open time slots throughout the week or something. Or automatically assign times for a task. or let me know when some event is coming up and to add some tasks automatically. Etc I feel like there’s a lot of potential for what the AI can do to make this product special.

It works generally well but I can’t get it sync with my calendar which is hugely unhelpful. I didn’t get to try out DayFlow before purchasing the subscription so now I’m stuck having paid for it and don’t think I’ll end up using it. I’ll keep trying. I tried to use the “get support” and it pulled up my email right away to email for help but didn’t attach an actual email so really no way to even reach anyone.
It has good features, the slowness of it when creating the to do list after voicing them doesn’t bother me because it’s much faster than it would be for me to create it manually.
I’ll keep trying I guess, since I paid for it.

It looks like this is a newer app and there's is some good engagement from the developer so I'll come back to this review and keep DayFlow on my phone for now here in my initial impressions: - AI creates events but doesn't sync them back into your calendar from what I can see. - Once it does this, I'd want to see if it can handle a request to create it for a specific calendar (work, home, personal, family, etc) - For how DayFlow is branded I would consider the above "just expected" - I couldn't see anything in the plus plan that (to my eyes) isn't already possible without it. I'm probably wrong but the point is it wasn't apparent. - after asking it to make an event it gave me a preview of what it was about to do but I was surprised that I couldn't hit the button to talk back to the AI that was right in front of me. My option was to save or not save what it was suggesting. kind of feels like the point is to give users the ability to continuously engage.
Personally, I don't think it's a great product strategy to try to also become a replacement for anyone's existing to do list application. That is also a crowded product landscape that has already been refined pretty well. I would rather this just get the AI right and let me roll my own to do list manager maybe have integration options instead. fine-tuning how the GPT backend integrates with the application flow is an interesting enough problem to solve to merit this applications usefulness.

🫠Is there any way to adjust the font size to make it smaller? The current font size is too large, making DayFlow feel quite crowded.
Anyone who needs an app like yours is likely looking for a cleaner and more organized experience. Please help make DayFlow 's appearance more intuitive and streamlined.
I have a fairly simple day today, but after adding some basic tasks and my daily routines to your app, I ended up feeling upset, overwhelmed, and stressed. I understand that you want to keep DayFlow visually appealing, and I appreciate that, but I need my priorities to come first.
I'm also curious if it's possible to make the purple voice button smaller or move it to the corner. It currently takes up a lot of space and makes the screen feel cramped, making it hard to see more tasks at once.
I will really appreciate it if you can fix these! I just purchased DayFlow and don’t want to delete it directly in an hour.

DayFlow is definitely useful but could improve the onboarding experience to be less overwhelming. As someone with ADHD, it’s difficult to read the animated text and it’s also just not necessary. The same thing could be conveyed just with a list, a few words, and maybe some visuals like emojis or color/border effects to highlight specific things for impact.
The preloaded home page is also really overwhelming and text heavy when a short visual walkthrough that’s skippable (and revisit-able) could say a lot more with fewer words. In the end, I ended up deleting all the preset tasks. Also, I was confused if I was on a trial or not because the onboarding allowed me to pick repeatable tasks but that ended up being a premium-only feature… which is quite expensive.

For some additional features, it would be nice to be able to sync my Google Calendar or Notion calendar. I have my own workaround to do this, but I can see the average user giving up since it takes a bit of effort.

Secondly, I feel that the layout is mainly focused on viewing upcoming tasks when I would prefer to use this as my only calendar as my main calendar for my phone (since macOS/PC/web support doesn’t exist). Having a monthly view would greatly improve this experience.

I really, really want to love DayFlow. It’s everything I look for in a planner - except - that there is no way to manually enter tasks! As a professional musician who spends a lot of time thinking about what I need to do while I’m on a crowded subway car, during a rehearsal, recording session or performance. I need a quick way to jot down what needs to happen because I can’t make sound!

I have used fantastical for years because you can type things out as a quick sentence instead of scrolling through menus for item entry. I really wish DayFlow had the same.

For example typing:
“Remind me to buy milk at 7pm”
Or
“Rehearsal tomorrow 4-6pm”

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to be able to just speak. But sometimes that just won’t work!

Additional wishlist in case the developers read this:

1. Integration with reminders app
2. Sub tasks
3. Task “inbox” for stuff that needs to be done but you aren’t sure when.
4. Google maps integration (for adding locations to calendar events!)
5. Widget and Apple Watch integration

This is a beautiful and well designed app. It gives my ADHD brain all the dopamine. I’m hoping one day it will be the one app to rule them all. Unfortunately, it’s just not there yet for my needs. I’ll be checking back in with this one in another few months to see if it’s ready yet!

I think this is a great app for anyone who is neurodivergent or adhd. The one little issue I have with it is that I’m a night security officer and my day starts at 430 in the afternoon and ends with me going to bed at around 830 am. I haven’t found a way to adjust the end times to accommodate me. I can set my day start time for 430, but it won’t allow me to adjust past 1159 pm.
I love how it allows me to list out everything with sub tasks and reminders. I haven’t found a way to set an audible alarm for said reminders though… might be operator error though. I will definitely keep it and working on figuring it out.

I have been immersed in the whole AI thing for a while I have severe ADHD, nearly crippling, and AI has been a godsend to me. I have been searching all over for a calendar task appointment habit tracking app that could use AI to intelligently schedule tasks and also do it very easily with minimal amount of interaction with DayFlow . So far DayFlow is come closer to what I want and anything else I have found it’s not perfect but it’s good, one suggestion to the developers and this would be a huge feature is to automatically be able to set a buffer between tasks like 15 minutes to prepare without having to schedule that that would be enormously helpful the tasks do not overlap which is a huge problem with other apps, but they don’t leave any time to get ready and you have to add that in manually other than that I am fairly happy. I am looking forward to seeing where DayFlow goes.

I’ve been really enjoying using the Day Flow app to help organize my daily tasks. It’s great, but I think it could be even better with one small tweak. If there was a way to set locations for tasks, DayFlow could figure out travel times between them, which would be super helpful. Right now, it kind of guesses the travel times, but being able to set them myself would make planning my day a lot smoother. Other than that, DayFlow is a lifesaver for anyone who finds making a to-do list tricky. Highly recommend!

The only thing holding me back from giving DayFlow a five star review is that it can be really irritating. I want to be able to speak into the microphone and tell it a task I need added to my day but more than half the time it gives me a paragraph back telling me how to do the task instead of actually putting it on my schedule.
Am I missing vocal commands training or something? I don’t get it. I want the default to just add what I’m saying. If I want it to give me advice, shouldn’t that be in the form of a prompt, question or request?

DayFlow is a step in the right direction, but I have two critiques:

1) DayFlow needs to have the ability to interact with the AI component through a text-based system, in addition to the voice-based system. I would like to be able to have a regular GPT text chat experience with the added abilities that DayFlow provides.

2) The AI should not only be able to schedule tasks, but it should also have the ability to break down a task into smaller sub-tasks, similar to how Goblin Tools works. For example, if I type "clean car," the AI should automatically populate sub-tasks such as gathering cleaning materials, removing all items from the car, picking up trash, wiping down surfaces, vacuuming, etc. It should also provide an estimate of how much time each task will take. If this feature already exists and I'm somehow missing it, please let me know. I believe it only give you suggestions for the tasks that are imputed but I do not find that to be a good use of the AI aspect.

Just downloaded so I’ll probably update this I enjoy how most of DayFlow doesn’t need to be behind a paywall (tho I’ll prolly still buy it if I like it) Some of the things I’ve been looking for is a way to organize my tasks on a time table (unknown) and a way to make custom times for tasks to repeat (such as 8 days) [seems to be behind a pay wall] Anyway I guess some things I wouldn’t mind being behind a paywall is quality of life options such as customizing DayFlow appearance

I also don’t see a way to create tasks manually

I love DayFlow I would pay more for an option to allow AI to verbally read our task out loud. Also have the ability to take a picture of a schedule and organize it into our daily schedule and be able to alert you when times overlap. These ideas are coming from a true adult with ADHD plus a learning disability, having the reminders not only notify us but read it out loud Ex hey at 2 you have to go to the store. This is my personal assistant I use daily.

This AI planning app is great for someone like me with ADHD. It's tough to keep things organized, but DayFlow makes it a breeze. I love its clean, minimalist design; it doesn't overload with interface and tons of options. However, I'm really hoping they'll add a dark mode option soon.

Sure, it's still new and has room for improvement, but I'm already giving it 5 stars. I'm excited to see where it goes. DayFlow has already made such a difference in helping me stay on top of things and feel accomplished.

I have been trying out various to-do apps on DayFlow store, and I came across Daily Flow recently. I am so glad I found it, it is one of the best apps I have found. The layout is neat and easy on the eyes, and the celebratory animation when you do all your tasks is a cute little reward for the end of your day. One of my favorite things is the two-way sync with Apple Calendar, which not a lot of apps have. I can't wait till there's a web version as well! And maybe a discount 😂.
