### "I love it!"

August 10, 2020

5.0

I love it, I dump all my to do's in it and let it worry about when I should do it and now I don't have to!

Pros

This is the only tool that I know of (after lots of research) that will schedule tasks for me and update them if I don't complete them that same day, and it knows my availability and will break up larger tasks into smaller segments.

Cons

I think I would love it if it had more integrations with other tasks features like puting an item on "waiting" and prioritzing based on importance, but these are minor, I'm very happy with how it functions now. It would be cool to have a sleeker interface, more like ToDoist and rich formattng on the notes too.

### "Great task manager"

April 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

\+ You don't have to use the scheduling-part, it works very well as a general task manager + I use it according to GTD-methodology and it works great for this + The user-interface is very understandable and language parsing works well + Great with various integrations

Cons

\- New features can be slow at times - Localisation doesn't work well, e.g. time/date are displayed in American format only and the system doesn't handle foreign characters very well - The calendar forces itself onto your Outlook and can be a bit of hassle to remove - A bit too expensive compared to competitors

### "Almost perfect"

September 18, 2019

4.0

I think I can get more done in a day than I realistically can but when I put it in the calendar and see it visually I realize I can't get it all done and need to prioritize.

Pros

The calendar view with my to do list was something I had to have to do I could visually see my day and where I how many tasks I could realistically compete in a certain amount of time and that it integrates my calendar so I can schedule around my appointments.

Cons

I would like a way to easier see what items on my yo do list have already been scheduled on my calendar and which ones still need to be scheduled. Also would like it to be easier to see all my tasks in my inbox and the calendar at the same time and the ability to drag and drop. Right now you can only see your agenda for that day at the same time as your calendar.

The calendar and the ability to see a duration time for tasks. The fact it has a to do list like feel but with way more functionality.

### "This is a great tool to schedule and prioritise a complex diary / tasks"

June 20, 2018

5.0

Reduced stress!

Pros

It's very flexible and seems to work out priorities and schedule very well. Also it is available on all of my devices which is very helpful.

Cons

It is a little complicated to setup at first and the documentation could be better. It would be great if you could drag tasks in Google Calendar to reschedule rather than only the apps and calendar but that is a minor quibble.

### "Fantastic Software!"

September 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

I am constantly looking for ways to increase my productivity and when reviewing my "Ideal week" I realized that I don't need a task management software, I needed priority management. I wanted something that would allow me to shift priorities and when life happens, let me see the impact to my deadlines. Implementing Skedpal made me realize how incredibly over-committed I was to everyone (a problem for people pleasers like me). Through that awareness, I was able to give myself permission to put other things on the back burner and focus on what matters most. Skedpal has become part of my weekly Sunday night planning to make sure I know exactly what my week looks like and how much flexibility I have in any given week. This is a fantastic tool and I highly recommend it to everyone including my coaching clients!

Cons

I had trouble with the upgrade wanting to install every time I logged on. I finally just uninstalled everything and reinstalled and the problem went away. Otherwise, I love everything about the program!

### "Skedpal review"

August 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

It's really easy to get started and you can slowly build up to using more advanced features, I'm still learning new things about skedpal everyday.

Cons

It's complex system is both good and bad, I have to admit I've known about skedpal for a long time and even tried the free trial out but left it alone until recently because of how daunting it seemed.

### "Clever and different approach to time management"

April 19, 2019

4.0

I mainly use it for big time-blocking and focus - as a kind of Pomoro countdown machine to help with jobs I don't enjoy. But I don't find it reliable/intuitive enough on its own. I still need paper, Outlook etc. Since I use it on an ad hoc basis, I'm not sure it's entirely worth it for me. However, I think the developers are really onto something with the time-realism and gamification potential, which isn't currently prominent. Possibly it's not even meant to be used like that!

Pros

It helps me to be realistic about time, which I struggle to do otherwise. I use it to programme multiple boring tasks, eg marking. It adds a slight element of pressure/gamification which I find helpful for focus. Ticking off the to-dos before the time slot is motivating. I think the developer could make more of this. The integration with Asana and Outlook is good. The shorthand way of inputting is great (2 hrs etc). Support was extremely helpful when I was struggling at the start.

Cons

It's too easy too pin and move entries by mistake, especially with a touchscreen. CTRL+Z to undo last step would be useful. It's tricky to get the hang of. I sometimes find myself adjusting 'focus' and 'priorities' just to get a job appear first which needs to be done next. I don't find it great for capturing tiny granular tasks, as the scale of time is large. I'd like to be able to print out days schedules. The need to use it online is a limitation when you're out and about. I'd like to be able to set up repeated work processes to pull in, so they don't need to be duplicated or rekeyed. Eg 1h to mark each of 30 students with names to differentiate different deadlines, several times a year - it would be good to have a mini 'template' to facilitate inputting this kind of regular repetitive job. Asana has something like this, but doesn't have a fab 'update' button.

### "Best organizing"

August 17, 2022

5.0

I love it! It makes my job as a principal possible!

Pros

I love that it looks at my Google calendar and just schedules everything out for me. I also love how I can schedule how long the task will take and when I want to get it done just by typing things on the task box.

Cons

I wish we could schedule recurring tasks. It allows me to repeat tasks but not at specific times during the day.

### "I started using this app since its trial period, and this is my favourite scheduling app! "

June 21, 2018

5.0

Better time management, more actually of convenience. I'm also able to access Google calendar without google play services (which my phone is lacking)

Pros

I love the fact that the app provides native Google calendar support without relying on Google play services, and directly analyzes your calendar events, also automatically updating your new schedule on the calendar. SkedPal is also extremely efficient at drafting new schedules, in fact I spend really little time waiting for the schedule to be generated! I has definitely raised my productivity, and I strongly recommend it to all! Even better than Google tasks or calendar etc!

Cons

It makes me reliant on the app to generate my schedule (it might be better to physically do it on pen and paper) but that isn't actually a down point. Even though I'm on a free subscription (for those who joined really early), I would love for it to be free for everyone!

### "Solves the BIGGEST productivity challenge facing the busy exec"

April 19, 2019

5.0

I really enjoy the app and cannot imagine my productivity workflow without it. I want SkedPal to do well so they can be around a long time!

Pros

I've literally been searching for an app to auto-schedule my tasks for years. The only way to really power through a to-do list is to get it into the calendar. It also forces one to be realistic about planning and timelines. I tried an Outlook add-in years ago, but the experience was really poor. It was a welcome relief to discover SkedPal. It's an added bonus that the app is available across devices and also works with Zapier, which makes my productivity workflow come to life. The app is very well designed - they've thought of everything. I did look at TimeHero as an alterative but the fact that TimeHero cannot add entries to my Outlook calendar is a deal-breaker.

Cons

The UI is slightly dated only because it's missing some of the "lively character" of some of the more modern cloud apps. But this in no way diminishes the deep functionality of the app.

### "Best Task Scheduler on the market!"

August 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

I no longer have to think about what tasks to do next, which tasks to do later.

Cons

Time tracking feature so that I don't have to manually track the time of each task.

### "Spend your time on the productive tasks, not scheduling your tasks"

May 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like that it plans my days for me based on my priorities and tasks, around my calendar appointments. It relieves my anxiety that I don't have time to complete all my tasks on time - I can see it in the agenda whether I can or cannot. It also saves time from trying to decide which task to take on now or next - it suggests agenda based on my priorities, deadlines etc.

Cons

It can be bothersome to set up and keep it updated with incoming tasks. It doesn't account for some appointments and tasks requiring a specific geographic location - and thus there is some travel time in between; and sometimes it would be better to cluster some geographically close-by tasks together when I am in the area for a calendar appointment already or similar. Easier integrations with different e-mail readers, project management applications etc would be useful (for example, browser addon to add task from any text on website, outlook addon, etc).

### "Skedpal is a phenomenal app that helped me not to overcommit"

June 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

There are lots of ways to get data into the software, including email, Evernote, import, and typing in. It integrates well with my calendar and gives me lots of flexibility. It's the first time I've been able to get a sense of how much work I have in queue, and if I really need to say no based on my workload.

Cons

I really don't have anything that I dislike. The requests that I've had have been implemented to date.

### "Steep Learning Curve"

August 18, 2022

4.0

Right now it's not the time saver I thought it would be, however, could be my fault for not investing real time in learning this new app.

Pros

The ability to set how much time to work on each task and it automatically creates a schedule for me in my google calendar.

Cons

Sometimes not very intuitive. The inbox view could have more details and be more easily editable. When a task is scheduled in skedpal and you want to schedule it again you have to remove the task and to all over again.

### "SkedPal helps me focus on the important things, and lets me set the rest aside for a later date."

June 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that I only see the tasks I need to do today. I can easily get overwhelmed with all I have to do, but SkedPal relieves that issue.

Cons

The SkedPal app takes forever to launch and make any changes. I do not use the app anymore for this reason.

### "What a task management app should be"

August 9, 2020

5.0

The nature of my businesses is a large number of projects, for a variety of clients, that all overlap in some way or another. Previously, I found myself in a rut of getting done the next thing that was due - leading to high pressured work environments where, at times I'd have padding and be able to get tasks done at a leisurely pace, and, at other times, I would work overtime and at 100% for multiple hours. Skedpal helps take a holistic view of the tasks that need to be done. Instead of completing whatever is due next (even if that task if due a few days away), Skedpal looks at far more factors than I'm able to compute - considering dependencies, task length, my Google Calendar, etc. Skedpal's intelligent and intuitive software and interface are part of the reason our doors are still open today.

Pros

The algorithm Skedpal uses to determine when and how to schedule tasks most efficiently is what sets this app apart from most others. The basic concepts of the product are fairly easy to use, and integration with the way my business handles clients and projects was flawless.

Cons

The strength of the software (its vast amount of features that all contribute to its efficiency) is also its weakness. At times it feels like there are a lot of different features to juggle and check on.

### "Perfect for juggling multiple roles - even with attention issues!"

May 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

Skedpal is easy to use and helps me organise my work to fit into times that are best for me. The intelligent timeblocking is a lifesaver. I just put in blocks where I know I'm best at certain tasks and as I add them in, I choose that block and based on priority and due date and scheduled calendar events with fixed times - it just works magic. I have gotten more done with less stress!

Cons

If there are any cons I have not found them yet.

### "Next Generation Scheduling and Calendaring"

April 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software makes it possible to handle all the tasks I need to juggle. Before this, I spent an hour or two each day re-arranging all the tasks to try and make things work. I'd then have to do the same thing the next day. With SkedPal, I can complete the same task with only 15-20 minutes of review and then a few button presses to have the schedule automatically setup. The new Curate Your Day feature that is currently in testing gives your scheduling even more intelligence. It's like having your own Secretary take care of your schedule for you.

Cons

That we have to pay for it. This application has tons of features that all the big calendar and to-do applications really need to integrate into themselves. By the time the get around to it though, this software is going to have all sorts of features and settings to really optimize the process, while the competitors are just getting started.

### "Wanted to love SkedPal for use with Asana, but it didn't work well for us"

September 19, 2019

2.0

I love the proposition of what SkedPal is trying to solve, but I found it too cumbersome to setup and use. I'm a software consultant and am very tech savvy, and I wasn't happy with what I could setup after dedicating several hours to it. I feel like it should have a web-based option, but it required use of an app. If integrating with Asana, keep in mind you will need to sync every new Asana project after you create it. I think this would not be a good workflow if you are constantly creating new projects.

Pros

Glad that it integrates with iCloud and Google Calendar. The customer support was excellent when I had trouble integrating with my Asana account. There was a very thorough onboarding sequence to try to help you get started (although it was still pretty complicated).

Cons

I didn't find SkedPal very intuitive. An example would be that to edit settings, you have to do it in a web interface, but to actually use the software you have to use a downloadable app. It required a lot of reading in the Knowledge Base about various terms and concepts: time maps and project time maps, sequential vs non-sequential projects, projects vs. areas vs. tags. The interface is not pretty or slick in any way. I also didn't like that it started creating comments all over my Asana tasks without letting me know it was going to do that. This would create all kinds of notifications for Asana followers that are unnecessary. I also found it difficult to use with Asana. For example, there might be tasks that are things I want to remember in Asana, but not schedule into my weekly to dos. There's probably a way to keep them from showing in SkedPal's calendar, but it wasn't intuitive and would probably be very labor intensive for a lot of tasks.

### "ADHD LIFE-SAVER"

June 19, 2018

4.0

Sanity, clarity + focus in my day.

Pros

My day and week change frequently, my tasks fluctuate on a regular basis often resulting in chaos and overwhelm of trying to do too much. I LOVE that Skedpal gives me all the functionality that I need yet still gives me a solid structure to plan my day, week and life and allows me to breath a bit easier knowing its on the backburner. Also, the AI is super helpful for an overthinker like me. So many features and the support is fantastic.

Cons

I think the user interface could use some work, but I know that is a secondary concern. I wish the functionality to time my tasks wasnt removed and/or if I had an easier way to prioritize tasks within a project. Overall - it takes a quite a bit of time to get the hang of the application - and I dont find it very intuitive, but I havent found anything like it- and I've tried everything - so I am hangin in there.

### "Overall impression of Skedpal"

April 17, 2019

4.0

Pros

The ability to plan out my week in great detail and anticipate any "snag"

Cons

The inability to create a focus + list i.e right now there are only two levels of focus (in focus or not) but sometimes things that are scheduled are in focus but not really important. One additional feature is the inability to have another kind of check box. For instance, many tasks involve getting some information to someone. However, everytime I need to create a new task to follow up. It'd be interesting to have a completed but needs follow up in a few weeks kind of deal... Food for thoughts

### "SkedPal Review"

March 4, 2019

5.0

Disclosure - I own a tiny number of shares in SkedPal. However, I recently performed a comparison between all auto-schedulers. SkedPal performs best as it is designed to handle a large number of tasks. This makes it ideal for daily usage.

Pros

The fact that it auto-schedules your calendar on demand, while separating your fixed and flexible schedules. Also, it runs alongside and syncs with Google Calendar which means its completely accessible.

Cons

The fact that there's no reschedule button outside the program which means that optimizing your schedule only happens by launching the mobile or desktop app.

### "An absolutely amazing and powerful scheduling app"

September 9, 2022

4.0

It's a great and very powerful tool and seeing it improve over time is exciting. From a scheduling and feature perspective it's the most advanced auto-scheduler I've encountered. UX wise there's still room to grow, but there are constant improvements. The developer is highly communicative and sensitive to user feedback.

Pros

It's super easy to add new tasks and add restrictions. The scheduling mechanism is amazing and extremely powerful. There are many ways to control how tasks are scheduled.

Cons

With such a sophisticated tool, overall UX could be slightly better, especially on mobile. Visually it is a bit old fashioned. If you don't stick to your own schedule it requires some more attention and there's some overhead there.
