Assignments App Reviews

I find this to be a superior application to iprocrastinate. (except for the color coding of classes) I like how it shows in the desktop how many assignments you have due that day. iprocrastinate does not. I like everything about this app because of its simplicity and ease of use.

Being a University student, I understand the importance of keeping track of your school-related chores, assignments, and tasks. It is no easy task, particularly in this day in age when it is so easy to lose a piece of paper that tells you need to do. iCal is great for remembering birthdays, but it does not scream at you that you have a major thesis due in two months, and your draft is due NEXT WEEK. Being a cheap-scape that just paid $400 total for my new iPhone, I didnt want to pay anything. So, I downloaded iProcrastinate. However, the program was very confusing to the point that it gave me a head ache; if I wanted a headache, Id study more for my classes than I already do. Since our professors are out to give us as much work as possible, we require a program that gives as little as possible to keep track of our school related work. This program definitely keeps track of it. It is clean, sleek, and doesnt clutter up its display. The only thing Id change is a colour-coding system that iProcrastinate had, so I can glance in the Overview for what is due for my Japanese 3 class, versus my C++. This program is recommended for the price.

This app does exactly what its supposed to, keep track of all your classes and assignments in a very efficient and elegant way. A must have.

This is going to work really well for school. I love this app already! Ive been told that it will soon support emailing the list and then printing it which will only make it better!

Ive used both Assignments and IProcrastinate and there are plusses to both. The "due soon" is very nice with Assignments, but there is a bug in the alert (but they say they are going to fix it). IProcrastinate you get to color code your classes, but Assignments lets you voice record notes for yourself. Assignments needs to be able to add a way to write the professors name under the class, the ending times of classes, group member names, steps of a project (like IProcrastinate) and a few other upgrades. Overall it is a good application, they just need to have a few things to make it amazing.

Great program so far but it has a lot of room for welcomed expansion. I am about to start the semester and some things that I am finding would be useful are the following: 1. Class Details Section Improvements - Add Field for professor name, and contact info. - Add Field for professors office hours - Add Field for class room building location - Add A Week Calendar so we know what class is next as arranged by the classes input Just some much wanted ideas. Great so far. Love the new clean UI

Easier to use then iprocrastinate!

I love this little app! Its great, I am a student studying for my PharmD and it is sometimes a bit overwhelming to keep track of all of my assignments... and Im horrible at prioritizing, I usually just pick an assignment that looks interesting and do that... this app lets you enter your assignment, the due date, the class, and the importance of completing it! Hooray!

I really need a period spot. I dont know the time of any of my classes.

If you have MobileMe, you really dont need this. I had to wipe my iPhone 3G and lost all of my assignments, however when I connected to MobileMe, my calender and events were on my iPhone instantly, my other assignment stuff was gone :(

iProcrastinate may be free, but this is a superior program, both aesthetically and functionally. Six dollars is a small price to pay.

This certainly a good app, but could learn at least one important thing from iprocrastinate: an easy way to check off assignments instead of deleting them. Also, it would make a lot of things easier if the due date on an assignment was smart and automatically matched re time of a class. Another iP lesson to be learned is the ability to view assignments by class. It wouldnt be a bad idea either to have an incrimental option as well, for example: a single entry for a book but with multiple due dates for various page numbers. Over all, a great app.

Its disappointing that this app is so clunky and nonintuitive. Here are some examples: The add-assignment button is a tiny icon in the upper right hand corner that requires accuracy to click. You have to add a time-of-day for the due date, or a seemingly random one will be assigned (which of course you will be inclined to correct, which takes more time). If you choose the due date and class, isnt the due time obvious? Cant it at least default to the class time? The "class" field doesnt default to anything, and if the correct one is already selected, you have to scroll away from it and then back to it to select it. Theres not way to quickly add a list of assignments due for a particular class. You have to enter all the above details each time. (select class = 3-4 clicks, fix time of day = 3-4 clicks) If you select an importance ranking, you can change it but not remove it (you have to delete the whole task to remove it) Lots of unnecessary steps. I shouldnt have to hit "edit" to edit a field. Touching the field does nothing unless you hit Edit first. More non-intuitiveness: Guess which page you go to to add an assignment: Overview, Assignments, Notes, or Classes? If you said Assignments youre going to be frustrated, too. I miss my 6 bucks.

I really like the idea, and I like the interface. My problems are I can ONLY look at the "details" of the assignment on the assignments view, not even on the due soon view. Also the assignments view isnt listed by due date ( I believe it is by class in big bulks) so I can only see what is due soon on the "due soon" tab but ONly up do three days. So I wish I could see a view of all assignments due soon organized from closest to furthest with a further distance than three days. I love where this is going just want those two things added into the next version please! PS I would really like to be able to also see the due date on the main tab where it shows the name of the assignment so I wouldnt even have to go and look at the details section.

This app deems to be useful to me; however, it could use a few things to make it great. Currently there isnt and option to sort the assignments based on due dates, priority or anything. You can assign an assignment to the classes but it would be nice to have more sorting options within the classes. The assignments are currently stored in the order that they were entered. Otherwise, this is a great app.

Works great, a couple flaws like when I add new assignments, it always resets the due time and class assignment. Hopefully they fix this in new version, but very helpful for a college student.

So much potential. Please fix the bugs.

This program does have some nice features, yes, but it is too buggy to even work right. For me, when I enter an assignment, I literally waste time because when I click "done", the assignment has no data!! Then I have to re enter everything again, hoping that it "sticks".

very helpful app for me and it doesnt seem too buggy either however it could be alot more user friendly. The update seems like it would be very helpful but it is taking soooooo long to be completed and released. As a highschool student nearing the midpoint of my first marking term I am getting very impatient. I hope its released soon.

There is an update coming. You guys have to be aware that apple takes forever to review them and release them. Im guessing that it should be here on Tuesday or Wednesday since facebooks update just happened and that one was in review for over a week. On the other hand this app is great but I cant wait for the update because of the great things it has and that I want.
