Agenda planner CircleTime Examine App

Where to start? In terms of being a calendar you would use daily, for personal or professional, this calendar app is not it. It is not practical. Its visual identity is more geared to be interesting than useable. It is “neat.” Yet, a good calendar neat alone does not make. If you’re in the mood to view this app as art rather than a calendar you’ll use as a calendar, I would take a look. Otherwise, go in knowing that the functionality that brings it anywhere close to a useable calendar is $30/year.

Unique! Love this!

In app purchases mean you have buy a subscription to use the app just charge for the app!

Very disjointed. Not intuitive

Purchased the lifetime. Curious though. Hopefully -no regrets.

Wanted to thank the designers for perfect circular design. And also a big thank you for the lifetime promotion!

This app looks interesting, but once I skipped through the annoyingly forced and long tutorial, the first thing I tapped locked the entire app with a blank white page and padlock symbol, which can't be. In response to the developer's reply: There is no "cancel" button. The only way to escape the lock is to force-quit the app. In response to the developers at second reply: again there is no "cancel" button. The padlock screen completely locks the app.

I just told my wife for the first time after 25 plus years of marriage that this is how I see the calendar and week in my head. She thought I was crazy! Well I found my circle people! Thank you. A great app. Now I need the Lock Screen wallpaper.

I cry when I see how beautiful this app is.

Nice little app to track agenda in a circular visual. However, if it is only a one time purchase I would buy it but not subscription Developer may take ref to the business model to the Agenda or Concept app (paid once for a set of basic feature but extra by user choice to upgrade) I would say this is a fair and sustainable model and could attract more users

The CircleTime app is a sleek and efficient tool for organizing your schedule. Its user-friendly interface simplifies event creation and navigation. The intuitive design allows seamless syncing across devices, ensuring you stay on top of your commitments. However, occasional syncing delays can be frustrating. The app's minimalist aesthetic enhances focus, but some users may miss advanced customization options. Despite minor drawbacks, CircleTime is a reliable companion for efficient time management, offering a streamlined experience for users seeking a straightforward calendar solution.

I love the idea of this app, and it will take a little getting used to. The learning curve is a little steep, and it isn’t as intuitive as I had hoped. My biggest disappoint is that I can’t change the temperature to degrees fahrenheit, or at least I don’t see where to change it. Once I get the hang of it, I think I’ll be pretty happy.

Could be better. I would like the ability to control notifications and add other calendars.

This app is very beautiful, but I find myself returning to Apple’s free calendar app because of the easily accessible widgets, which can be added to the Home Screen and quickly referenced for scheduling reminders. I think adding several widget options for CircleTime, such as a moon phase widget and a widget each for day/week/month, will definitely make this app worth the sub. Without Home Screen widgets, I find that it is easy to forget I even have this app (one that I paid for) installed! It was for this reason I gave it 3 stars. However, I did subscribe for the year in the hopes that developers might be encouraged (or perhaps already have plans) to add this feature! All and all, this is a visually-pleasing app with a lot of potential! (pagan Wheel of the Year theme, anyone?)

I absolutely LOVE this app! Thank you for making something functional and different than the usual spreadsheet. This makes me feel like I’m more in-tune with the earths natural cycles. Possible improvement for developer: I would love to be able to choose if I want my week view to start on Sunday or Monday, would this be possible? Thank you! UPDATE: The developer quickly responded to my idea and has already implemented it! It’s only been a couple weeks. Thank you so much, this is the best calendar app out there!

So this is the starting of my trial. I love the concept. Not the price. I do believe in energy exchange that compliments. Usually it’s a solid no ! I won’t even think about offering any kinda redundancy system that will result in ///another pay subscription commitment\\\ Circling is cool (usually),so I can see it has potential but aside from that “form” seems this offers me less details, costs more. Does form matter? Will this circle system finally help me articulate “ ALL “ the details that I have circling within.

I’d buy it if it were a one time purchase. But it’s hard to justify a subscription. Update in regards to the developer reaching out to explain their reasoning for moving to a subscription. See the thing is I actually hadn’t updated the app in about a year to avoid the subscription. I was forced to when I upgraded to a new phone. The original purchase app was good enough for me. It let me add events and track dates in a convenient format. From a consumer point of view further updates were largely unnecessary and if it means moving to ‘software as a service,’ unwanted. As it stands now the free app version does nothing for me. I can’t enter events anymore without upgrading. Long story short, from the consumer side this was a major step back. I no longer have a use for this app. My need is for the long haul ie. years. And I have no interest in paying for the app a dozen times over in that time. Updates were not necessary.

I wanted a simple circle clock, not sure why I thought this would be that. But it’s not. It’s convoluted and there’s no easy to follow manual for how to operate it. Maybe if I tinker around with it for a few hours it’ll begin to feel intuitive, but for $6 that shouldn’t be necessary.

The app is unusual, which was its main selling point. But it doesn’t work as advertised. The color dots don’t exist. The monochromatic version makes it harder than necessary to understand. I love creativity in my life but don’t have time for underperformance. I deleted it immediately.

It’s exciting the idea of having a circle calendar. But using it, doesn’t make much sense. Maybe needs improvement or else I gave away my money.

For those of us with difficulty processing time linearly this is great. More integration + intuitive UI on the next update will mean 5 stars [Edit: the new themes are so monochromatic that getting a visual overview is quickly is difficult]

Doesn't work and is confusing

Great, new way to see a Calendar. Looking at the instructions web page, I see that color dotos are not working. I only see black dots, even when I have only one event, so makes it difficult to distinguish between different type of events or calendars. Also I´m using it in Spanish, the outer rings for Month and date are in english. It will be great that the home icon, be able to show the date or number of events etc.. As other calendar apps. Going to give it a try for some days... and see if its a keeper or not.

This calendar app is very different. It works perfectly.

Congratulations you've actually found a way to make a Calendar ridiculously confusing. Good luck with this one, Delete!!!

I like the concept but their are way too many gestures you have to learn to interact with the App completely. I also found it hard to read the information on the inside of the circles. Again, I really like the concept but I'm not sure either we or the concept is ready for everyday use.

I find that presenting my existing apple or gmail calendar calendar data in a circular form, which shows daily, monthly, or yearly cycles, is closer to reality, and gives me a more wholistic grasp on priorities. What is great is that this app will grab whatever is in your google or apple calendar(s) and show it in the circle format. Or you can generate appointments and events in the app also. I have created several sub calendars with different colors, which results in a very visually compelling presentation of my day. Friendly interface, creative concept, plays well with others(google calendar and/or apple calendar) Great " out of the box thinking" !

This is a fantastic app. I wish you guys made a wrist watch with this format. This very inventive and unique time format provides me with excellent situational awareness. This app provides a visual template of the day and month that is very conducive to becoming very efficient. I love this app.

I made a suggestion that they make it so June is at the very bottom, and December is at the very top. That makes the most sense to me since June is the 6th month (so the 6:00 position in the circle, and December is the 12th month (so the 12:00 position in the circle. As it is, they are a little off-kilter. Let's see how responsive they are.

The new way to look at your schedule

I needed a 24 hr calendar- this works perfectly for me - having the ability to plan my entire day and see it all at once is invaluable. I am now able to maintain stronger healthy habits regarding drinking more water, not missing meals and being more physically active. It syncs perfectly with Awesome Calendar- which has the printing capability the IPhone calendar lacks - I have the best of everything by using Circle Time!!!!!

I am attracted to visual creativity. This app has taken my linear calendar logic and bent it into a digital donut! It is sweet and wholesome at the same time. Sweet because it is intuitive and clever. Wholesome because it is unified in concept. And the instruction manual is easy to digest because it is sparse on words and heavy on visuals.

This app is a fantastic new take on the "old standard" way of looking at a planner. The graphic layout is a lot of fun and very intuitive. It seems a little odd at first but the more you use it, the more you realize that this is the way you think of dates and time in your head already. Only now, you don't have to convert it. It's just right there in front of you on your screen. The app sync's to the phone's original planner so you can still see all of your events in either format you wish. As for me, I just buried the old planner in a folder of standard apps that come with the iPhone but I don't use and can't delete. Customer service is great too. I wrote them an email with an idea for a little "tweek" that I thought might make the app a bit better. The strangest thing happened... THEY WROTE BACK THE NEXT DAY! Thought I had a good idea and they would try to implement it on the next update. Nice to see a company actually listen to their users for a change. Great app from a great company. Download it now and give yourself a few days to get used to it. You won't go back!

But It's not intuitive enough to use and not much by way of tutorial. Fairly slow as well. I have a ton of meetings (synced with exchange server) and I end up tapping multiple times thinking I missed it when it was really refreshing screen and now it has more taps to process.

I really like this app. It is useful and it help me to better organize my day and it is definitely calendar of future. The graphic are flawless and the UI is outstanding and simple. And so far i didn't have any problems and it didn't crash on my iPhone 4. And once when u start using this app u will never look on the time the same way again. Great job on a great app. Highly recommended!

It is a nifty app but they pushed it out the door too soon. It operates like a beta version. Do not bother with it until an update is released. I do not like buggy versions being offered for sale. It is just bad business. When the app is debugged then it will merit a higher rating. Until then two stars

I don't do 24hr time. Please make option for 12hr time.

Circletime is a refreshing change to iOS calendar/event Apps.

Crashes every single time I open it. Can't use it
