### "Looking forward to continued improvement"

August 17, 2022

4.0

When I commit to it, it works well.

Pros

The function is limited but, valuable. I'm looking forward to continued improvements.

Cons

UI/UX feels dated and very simplified. The hierarchical list format works but can feel clunky and inflexible.

### "Great Support, Best in Class, but not Enough."

April 17, 2019

3.0

Overall, SkedPal is the best software I have found so far that most fills my requirements. Its utterly disappointing that in 2019 this is the only competent fuzzy scheduling software that exists. That being said, SkedPal speeds up their development and refines their marketing, they can seriously make some damage to their competitors. Customer support is phenomenal, Seth on the forums is very knowledgeable and response quickly to all our questions. There is a lot of documentation on the product, albeit it's pretty scattered. Overall, I've had a wonderful experience, but the product just isn't as robust as I'd hoped for.

Pros

The people behind this are very passionate and well versed with the subject of fuzzy scheduling. Thus, the software offers very effective functionality within a select domain.

Cons

The UX/UI is not very refined, and the features are all over the place. But the thing that ultimately turned me down is the lack of precision and robustness of the scheduling engine. Tasks can only be scheduled in 30 minute intervals, even though lots of my tasks are well below 30 mins. It attempts to bundle them together, but when they can't it just schedules the whole 30 mins and wastes calendar space. It's just not that intuitive, and it takes some getting used to. That's just me though.

### "Honesty, changed my life"

April 17, 2019

5.0

I love it.

Pros

It's completely transformed the way I manage my time, tasks and stress. It thinks for me, it suggests time-based approaches to daunting tasks that make sense beyond what I could have come up with myself, and it leaves me no room to get behind on my work.

Cons

The iPhone app is a bit buggy, the Asana integration doesn't meet all of my needs yet, and the 21 day scheduling window could do with being longer.

### "A great automated task scheduler"

April 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

I am easily able to add tasks with a deadline and another date that I would like to finish the task by (this allows me to distinguish between the real deadline and an aspirational deadline that I set myself). Skedpal automatically pulls in appointments in my outlook calendar and generates my daily and weekly schedule based on the tasks that I have entered. Skedpal also notifies me when I have scheduled too many tasks and that I will not be able to get everything done by the dates/times I have entered.

Cons

Skedpal occassionally loses connection to my outlook calendar and needs to be restarted to start working correctly again.

### "A personal assistant in your pocket"

September 18, 2019

5.0

Although SkedPal has a good number of practical uses, it’s been like a personal assistant to me. Need to schedule something while you’re on campus but not in class? Planning to complete a project by a specific due date in minimum time chunks of 1.5 hours? Need to make a grocery list, schedule a meeting, or finish an assignment? SkedPal does a fantastic job of prioritizing your tasks and automatically scheduling them for you. If you don’t mark a task as done during the time SkedPal allotted, then it will reschedule it for you! It functions as a personal assistant that you don’t have to pay $17.50/hr to maintain.

Pros

Skedpal’s best feature is it’s time maps, which allow you to dynamically reschedule your life with a single button press.

Cons

The only downside with SkedPal is that I am having a difficult time generating tasks automatically for items on my Google Calendar. E.g: my calendar feed will populate Google Calendar with items labeled “Homework 4- Differential Equations” and I would like to automatically generate a task under Homework with a duration of 4 hours.

### "Good overall"

October 15, 2023

4.0

Overall good, the design is a little clunky but pretty good

Pros

It’s easy to use, it’s nice to have the update schedule. Lots of features

Cons

Prioritization seems slightly broken. Also the settings to set a repeating task seems not encompassing enough. Haven’t been able to find settings that will give me a repeat that I’m looking for

### "SkedPal is an excellent auto-scheduler of my tasks"

September 20, 2019

4.0

Better planning, prioritization and execution of tasks/projects.

Pros

I like the whole auto-scheduling experience in combination with the time maps.

Cons

The mobile features are not aligned with the desktop features, i.e. they are not the same and the good things you can do on the mobile you can't do in the desktop version, and vice versa! I would to be able to to manually move the tasks in the Focused tasks list, to control which task is scheduled before some other task. I.e. like now in the "Prioritize" view in the app, but for a longer time horizon than just the days in this week. I would also like the buffer time to be more flexible. And maybe also make it possible to set a buffer after or before a specific task.

Reason for choosing SkedPal

Compared, read reviews, etc.

### "I rely on Skedpal every day "

June 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

No software does what Skedpal can do. I've tried them all and Skedpal is the only tool that can tell me what I need to work on to hut my many deadlines.

Cons

I wish it was web based but I understand it requires lots of compute power to schedule everything with all the options Skedpal offers. That is probably why web based competitors seem to offer far fewer customizations and far worse performance.

### "Amazing - SkedPal is the future of calendar apps. "

April 22, 2019

5.0

If you're overwhelmed because you're personally responsible for projects in a lot of places (like freelancers, homemakers, managers, artists, or students), SkedPal can be a lifesaver. By starting with time blocks and priority "time maps," it lets you automatically convert complicated tasks lists from home and work into a flexible starting point that can quickly adjust if you have firm commitments, or just find yourself in a mood to do something else. The workflow is so good that I'd recommend \*everyone\* switch, whether they use software or not.

Pros

It is the \*only\* automatic scheduler I could find that works by accommodating \*me\*, not the other way around. One click of the "Reschedule" button and everything moves around my needs. Oh, and it's a great task manager to boot!

Cons

It's really expensive for personal software, even as great as it is. SkedPal costs almost as much as a Photoshop Creative Cloud subscription. Beyond that, the interface doesn't really feel native to any OS, though it doesn't feel \*bad\* by any means. The learning curve is naturally a bit steeper, as it requires thinking the way their approach to planning works. This will be a good change for most.

### "Clunky but useful"

September 18, 2019

4.0

This app has great potential - the promise of having an automatic day navigation system is very attractive. Maybe my life is a little too complicated for the app.

Pros

The app puts my priorities on my calendar, automatically. There are only so many hours in a day, and this app helps me prioritize my time and get me out of the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Cons

I need the Asana connector because I'm managing my todos there. SkedPal is not sufficient to me (no group features, the ​limited hierarchy of tasks) to do all my planning with it. But the Asana connector doesn't see all my tasks there - only if they're in particular projects I selected previously. And it doesn't synchronize if a task is repeated. So I have to jump back and forth.

### "Finally - an intelligent task management system!"

June 19, 2018

4.0

Fantastic personal task scheduler and manager.

Pros

Over the last decade I have tried - and abandoned - dozens of task management systems. None of them have been able to automate the #1 thing that I need from them - tell me what I have time for today and what needs to get done today. SkedPal is the only one that I know of that actually takes my list and makes it useful for me on a hour-by-hour basis, prioritizing and working with and around my schedule. It's amazing.

Cons

Still working out a few bugs here and there, and there are a few functions that don't do what I expect sometimes, but these annoyances are relatively minor compared to its overall functionality.

### "A very detailed way to plan your day "

August 9, 2020

5.0

I spent weeks looking for a tool like SkedPal. I wish I’d been using SkedPal for years instead of just months.

Pros

Love the feature set including time maps, priority flags, due dates, start dates etc.

Cons

UI is functional and easy to use but it could do with looking more modern. However, I know they have a big release coming up.

### "review - medical student perspective"

September 18, 2019

5.0

Really beneficial for busy lifestyle!! I love it for my everydaylife and my student association involvment! Expensive, without a student fare, but worth it in

Pros

I really like the Intelligent calendar, the Hot list, the projects and the time maps! (A little bit more help with creating thses could be more available for the new users)

Cons

The fonction sequential has some difficulties, I would love to choose certain tasks in a project to be sequential and others not. The schedule could be longer dans 3 weeks in the future. With tasks taking a very long time, I saw that they are usually planned very very closed to the deadlines even if the start of the project is far away from it. There could be a student / non-for-profit price

### "Changed my working life"

April 17, 2019

5.0

Superb. Really exceeded my expectations and has changed how I work day to day. It's the first thing I check every day.

Pros

Loved how it automated my 'what should I be doing today', saving me several hours every month and allowing me to know that even if it is busy that I can achieve everything (or skedpal will tell me!). Great that it works with other calendars too, makes things seamless.

Cons

The software scans a certain amount in advance to give you your timetable. I don't need to see the actual planned timetable, but it would be useful if it were able to tell you if you're overscheduled for a later month. E.g. if a task will take 10h, then planning it for one day won't work.

### "Definitely recommend"

September 18, 2019

4.0

Overall, my experience with Skedpal has been great. While there are some improvements I think they could make, I plan on using it for the foreseeable future.

Pros

Automated scheduling is such a huge timesaver/stress reliever. The time maps are useful for helping me budget my time and scheduling only at the times I want to work.

Cons

I wish there were more integrations. Skedpal is fantastic for day-to-day scheduling, put I find other apps more useful for larger project management and it would be great if I could connect the two. Also, having the ability to create recurring subtasks would be useful. When I've tried before a message pops up saying "Feature coming soon." Yet that feature has not been developed yet.

### "Excellent tool to capture all of the things"

April 17, 2019

4.0

I work on approximately 150 projects at any one time. They are all at different places in the process, so there is a lot of open items. Skedpal allows me to not only capture these items but also the meetings, one-off tasks, and "Waiting for" items. Using the Today view allows me to focus not on ALL of the things, but instead on what's important.

Pros

Integration of my calendar with my to do list. I have a lot of to-dos, and I have a lot of meetings. It is really great to see what I can accomplish in the random chunks of time I have available. I have also amped up my use of the time maps which has increased the amount I get done across the board!

Cons

Sync issues. There are sync issues across devices and within the calendar feature. My work-around for the mobile app is to use my phone solely to capture items (GTD), then I use the desktop application to process. When moving things around in the calendar, I want to "Update Schedule" to see the changes, but the program crashes. I just don't "Update" inside the calendar anymore.

### "SkedPal is a time management system I always wanted"

June 19, 2018

4.0

It's allowed me to stop messing with my schedule and just have it do it for me.

Pros

What makes SkedPal unique is it's approach to task management. I had been thinking of something similar for a long time but could never find an app that did it. SkedPal does. I like being able to feed it a bunch of information and it just knows when to schedule stuff for me.

Cons

I don't like the app too much. It's a little clunky and the interface leaves some to be desired. I also don't like that I don't have much visibility into why a task was scheduled. It'd be great if that decision were clearers.

### "Perfect for busy students"

April 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

As a busy student in my final semester, SkedPal has been the perfect solution for me to balance my classes, job search, and life. The software does what an ordinary checklist can't - it helps smooths my work so I don't have huge mountains of work one week followed by barely any the week after. It also easily adapts to me so if I take a day off of doing homework, it'll reschedule the assignments for me.

Cons

My only con about the software is that it only schedules 21 days in advance. However, I found this to be a positive as it makes me break down larger assignments myself.

### "Favorite Tasker"

July 10, 2019

5.0

I can see all my events/projects in front of me in one place, and all the time!! Until Skedpal I hadn't found an equivalent software that can keep up with me better than me just writing it down. With SkedPal I can see everything I need to be doing right at my finger tips, in real time, and without having to have my physical planner with me.

Pros

I love how flexible this software is! The time maps, plan for.., and the various calendar/schedule views and options are my top favorite aspects of SkedPal...which is basically everything! I'm constantly having to keep up with the multiple parts of my life and have kept a physical calendar for years. Until Skedpal I hadn't found an equivalent software that can keep up with me better than me just writing it down. With SkedPal I can see everything I need to be doing right at my finger tips, in real time.

Cons

While SkedPal really does everything right, I wish sub-tasking were more robust and the notes within tasks could have more formatting options.

### "A fast developing, fast improving task-planning application that incorporates capacity"

July 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

The best cross-platform task management app. Unlike most task apps, it also uses multiple criteria to plan and prioritize within the constraints of the users calendar and capacity. The product's functionality continues to improve up at each update, aided by a very attentive and responsive support team.

Cons

I'd prefer more granularity over how I want to assign the relative priorities when I have a big number of tasks (60-100) though this may just be my lack of understanding. I have struggled with recurring tasks that have long gaps

I make the best use of my time possible and that's important because I'm a mother of six and an entrepreneur.

Pros

I love that Skedpal lets me know when I am trying to accomplish more than is possible with my time constraints. It also helps me achieve balance.

Cons

### "It's a great, versatile software that quickly adapts to my ever-changing schedule."

June 20, 2018

5.0

There are many, but it keeps me updated on what I need to focus on first in the day. It then reschedules as I have time laid out in my calendar.

Pros

I LOVE how it automatically reschedules tasks that I may not have been able to get to that day. It has a lot to offer anyone who struggles to get things done.

Cons

The interface could use a bit of work. It's not bad it just isn't quite as intuitive as it could be. It would be great if it had APIs with other like software to extend Skedpal's reach.

### "Great Software, Couple missing features & small learning curve"

September 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Being able to automatically recalculate my schedule essential now for my own sanity. It's the only way that I feel that I'm able to stay on task and be productive. I also love that you can schedule tasks to happen periodically, and the ability to mark things as partially complete, and to organize things into projects. This is something Wunderlist and a bullet journal cannot do.

Cons

There's no way to schedule reoccurring tasks at a fixed time (say every Tuesday at 3:00pm). There's also no native notifications so you have to rely on linking your SkedPal calendar to your calendar app, which gets out of sync when your schedule changes. That's problematic for an app that is supposed to be responsive to changes in your schedule. Finally, there's a steep learning learning curve at the beginning, but can get used to the app in under a day.

February 29, 2020

4.0

Pros

This product really helps me both quantify what I am going to be doing each day and prioritize to insure that I get what is important done first. Since it is only me, if I do not get to an important task, no one will creating real issues among customers.

Cons

The key improvement would be automatically moving undone tasks to the next day.
