Based on 62 real App Store reviews, here's exactly what users wish Arduino Planner apps would build.
Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.
"Have been asking for 2 or 3 years to add a 'week-at-a-glance' and 'month-at-a-glance' tab for quick access to those views. Still have to choose the 'Master Tasks' tab and navigate through several clicks to see either. Almost every other planner app"
"Wish had phone weekly and annual view? If your doing future planning annual view needed"
"I love the app and truthfully I would use it, but is not wholistic enough. We have moved to a world where we use and prefer less paper, so I want to use my Apple Pencil to make quick notes but also to create to do lists, or a note for an event"
"Be much better if worked with Apple Pencil ... looking for a planner that does support it ..."
"Is an awesome daily planner especially for old time Franklin planner and Franklin covey users! Is only missing one thing to go from good to great and that is a project management section which is really needed especially in today's business and indep"
"You have to click hundreds of times to do simple tasks in the app. Also, there is no clean way to manage different projects."
"I love the layout- finding a calendar with a simple day view with events and tasks is difficult. But calendars !! I need access to all my calendars, Google calendars and subscribed calendars. Without that, I can't even give this app a chance."
"The latest update to this app broke the calendar. I can't navigate from day to day without it getting stuck on a previous day & it doesn't hide the hidden calendars coming in from my google calendar."
"I understand that a phone app will not be as complete as a desktop, but there are things missing, like notifications. And, yes I have them set correctly."
Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.
16% of reviews cite platform limitations as dealbreaker. Opportunity to capture Windows/Android users completely ignored by Opus One. Reliable sync is table stakes - 29% report sync failures.
Strong user backlash against subscription-only model. Users who paid for previous version feel betrayed. Hybrid pricing reduces friction and captures one-time buyers willing to pay premium.
Most requested features with clear user demand. Week-at-a-glance requested for '2 or 3 years' with no response. Apple Pencil support aligns with digital-first workflow users want.
Users need all calendars accessible, not just basic sync. Compete by being the bridge between Franklin Covey methodology and modern productivity ecosystems (Google, Outlook).
Users confused by Compass/Master Tasks/Goals structure. Opportunity to educate new users on methodology while making it intuitive. Reduces support burden and increases retention.
