Refills - Calendar & Tasks App Reviews

I use this app as my primary calendar since it offers far more flexibility in saving reminders with unlimited time choices, you can input recurring tasks with non-standard recurrence intervals and built in task list which all magically sync with iCalender and iCloud. Synching with Google is added bonus. I recommend it to all.

Easy to use. Good UI

This is the best replacement for datebk on Palm OS. Its the most powerful task/calendar Ive found. You can manually set text colors using RGB 256 for each category of task and select a color for calendar items as a group. Task pages are separate for each task category you create. I like to use "Day View" instead of task view to show tasks due today across ALL my task categories: yellow for am tasks, blue for daytime tasks, green for errands, brown for calls, orange for online, purple for pm, red for urgent. In task view main page, which is like a table of contents for the following task view pages you can edit task categories to change category order and color. This order will appear in day view. e.g., am tasks can be listed first, pm tasks listed last. You can also order tasks WITHIN a category in day view. For example, you may wish to move "get mail" to the bottom of your "daytime" tasks because your mail arrives late in the day. To accomplish this, go to that categorys task view page, select "my order" from the pull down at the top of display area. Reorder tasks then go back to day view. Youll see the order is changed. I also like to put appts at the bottom of day view because I have only a few appts but tons if tasks. You can also have preset "to dos" by selecting that you want "history" button to actually be a "favorites" which you can edit. So your task favorites can include your personalized list of favorites like "get email" or "clean bathrooms" while your appt favorites list is separate for "haircut" or "staff meeting." Love this feature. So heres my wish list. 1. A per task entry where I can select how far in advance the task will show up in day view. Currently it only shows if it is overdue or due today. I would like items due by Friday to show up on Monday- Thursday because I requested "4 days" in some "days adv" field, thereby not being overdue until Saturday. 2. A pull down in day view that advances all unchecked or (at least) unchecked non repeating tasks by one day. For instance, although I thought I would accomplish 12 things today, when I only accomplished 7, I dont have to select all 5 tasks individually to change their due dates to tomorrow. This is because I dont want NONCRITICAL overdue items to appear at the top of tomorrows day view as they do now. 3. When setting the date, add the option "day after tomorrow" where there is currently "today", "tomorrow" and "next week" listed below the date selector. 4. I would love the function the "Calendar" app has when you select the magnifier and only see days that actually have appts listed on a scrolling screen. This is the best way to see if youre open because you can scroll around for weeks easily. Its the only thing I ever use the standard calendar for so please add this one so I can retire calendar from my main screen. 5. I consider this one a bug fix. Suppose I have a weekly repeating task on Monday but I couldnt finish it Monday. It will appear at the very top of my tasks on Tuesday because it is overdue. If the task is not super urgent I really dont want it at the top. If I edit the due date to be the next day, in this case Tuesday, the tasks repeat schedule automatically changes to be due weekly on Tuesdays instead of Mondays. Technically that should only happen if I selected a repeat schedule of every 7 days. It should really remain repeat on Mondays. As it is now, I have to move "repeat day" back to Monday once I delay my task by a day. Overall I love this app. I have other todo list apps that I use for projects or shopping lists but this is my fav for everyday tasks and calendar. Im on it all day! Thanks for the last bug fixes- I love my new refills appearance pages.

This app is excellent but lacks landscape view. It also has a bug, when you have task selected to show on daily, weekly or monthly pages, and you check a task as comets it still shows in calendar views even though it doesnt show in task view.

As soon as I got my phone I was looking for a different calendar app than Apples default. I hated the little dots Apple used, and that I couldnt see at a glance what was coming up. I downloaded tons of calendar apps, but this one was far and away the best. Simple, beautiful, functional, and easy. Everyone I show it to is jealous (and then goes to get it!) So thanks for making my calendaring life better, Refills!

I used this for years then looked for a better app. Tried several then came back to Refills. Why did I ever stray? It does everything and does it elegantly. Never included in best calendar apps but should be.

Good visual of day week whatever time to a year Easy controls and entry of new events and tasks

Love this app!!!!

This calendar app is very intuitive and has a very flexible recurring event feature - like "fourth Wednesday of each month". The visible layout is easy to read with a quick glance. It handles tasks very well too. Good app.

Good grief, I have wasted so much time and money searching for the calendar app that is best for my needs. At long last I came upon Refills. This app is nearly perfect. Refills is so much better than all others that Ibe tried/used that the search has ended. Events, tasks, mapping, syncing and all the rest are intuitive, highly legible and editing is a snap. I could not be happier with my choice of Refills. Highly recommended!

So far this is the best planner that helps me manage my time.

I have been using the free version of this app for around 18 months and decided to pay the ridiculous upgrade price for the full version to remove the annoying ads. Ad removal is about all you get for the upgrade cost. The "custom calendars" are nothing special, and as a bonus for paying for the full version you get to re-enter all of your Tasks from the free version into the full version. The full version appears to be a completely separate app and does not transfer your Tasks. If I had it to do over again I would have stayed with the free version. Lastly, the customer support is very slow to respond to questions.

I like the current version of Refills (3.9). The Google task sync is not running on the background like the calendar sync and it is so slow I gave up on this otherwise very fine app.

The best Task / Calendar app for my iPhone. The only thing that would make this a all around great app for all business use is if it had a note taking section that would sync with Evernote...

This is a fantastic app: its now become my main "to do" app: the bracketing display is powerful and highly informative.

I like the free version better. I was able to enlarge the font size right on the month calendar. I am visually impaired and find it difficult to see. I bought a new iPad and the old version would not transfer. The price was way too high.

But please fix it so it can be used in split screen.

If there is a current timeline, it will be much better

This calendar is the best I have ever used. I tried many and none of them compares.

I have loved refills for years. Absolutely loved it. But this new upgrade brought a small disaster. My entire calendar has disappeared. All of it. I wrote a note last week and got a rather snippy reply about not reading the instructions correctly. Not helpful. Please help me. This is two days later and somehow magically all of my calendar material has reappeared. Obviously youre doing it right – – still. Thank you so very very much.
