Procraster - Overcome Procrastination App Reviews

If you can focus enough to input your tasks then you dont need this app... So definitely not very good.

Task management apps are a dime a dozen. GOOD ones that focus on the important stuff are hard to find. Procraster tackles a problem that every other app Ive seen fails to address: when theres a bunch of stuff to do, sometimes you just need to be told where to start. And sometimes even the process of coming up with a list is too daunting to know where to begin. Procraster helps you get started even before youve added your first task. One improvement that Id like to see would be a little more guidance on breaking down huge tasks. Procraster draws an analogy to planning a moon landing, so Ill borrow that. If I start from a project named "Moon landing," Procraster will ask me to think small and think of the very first task for this project. My first thought is "Build rocket." Thats not thinking small, of course, but thats a key sub-project. It might be nice if Procraster could stop and make me think about this "Build rocket" task: is it truly small and manageable, or does it need to become its own project? Of course Procraster offers the freedom to create as many projects as desired and to convert existing tasks into projects, so this is just something to fine-tune in the automated advice, not something that represents a serious design flaw. There is one thing Ive run into that does fall under the latter. A task can be started with a running timer (counting down) or a stopwatch (counting up). The timer represents the familiar "Pomodoro" technique: work on a task for a fixed amount of time, then take a break. Ive run into a complicated situation with this, though: if I overestimate the amount of time a task takes, then I must either let the timer run out, or I must stop the task with a big red "Give Up" button. I havent done the latter because I refuse to claim defeat falsely and against my will.

Interface is not very compatible with iPhone 6 plus and iPad (landscape view) The concept is cool but without an updated interface I just wasted my money. Please update!

This in combination with Freedom Internet blocker and Scrivener is helping me break my PhD dissertation down into manageable sections. 25 mins is an easy amount of time to focus on something and it feels like Im achieving something each time I log another 25 min chunk. However I wish tasks could be imported from Reminders or Fantastical or other apps on my phone since its quite time consuming to enter them all separately, and the pop-psychology part that initially attracted me is somewhat underdeveloped -- they could be made a bit more interesting or rigorous. But for the basics, ie a timer with a task attached, its great.

Thank you!

Unlike Many Fitness apps on the store, It fails to deliver dynamic user-interfaces that fit in one single-page and isnt as tab dependent. Update Nice Update with excellent style. Enjoying the partitions between tabs and their colors. Beautiful; life transforming.

Great app. Does what it says and more!!! Highly recommended...

I am truly getting a lot more done. And I was a heavy procrastinator. I really do love this app.

Quite simply, the buttons do not function even after reinstalling the app. And some buttons seen to cover up other buttons. Perhaps an issue of compatibility with the newest version of ios8?

It does go a bit slower after the update, and I have not yet figured out fully the purpose of the Tags yet. It is a great app. I have become much more organized with its use. I use it all day long.

I struggle with procrastination and this is definitely a very helpful app!! Lots of cool advice and organization tools. Definitely worth the buy!

I got this app to implement the "getting things done" system. I loved the interface at first, the GUI was nice, and it seemed reasonably well designed. But after I spent the weekend putting in 200 items, the app slowed to a crawl. I ended up switching to "Things" which took me another ENTIRE weekend. I like "Things" much better.

Thank you, developers. For helping me get through months of expenses.

Very useful and does exactly what its supposed to. Ive become much more organized and efficient. It would be 5 stars if the developer could fix an issue with typing. Sometimes autocomplete goes overboard and overwrites what youre typing.

Since the last update I cannot type using this app. It predicts the wrong words and sentences as I write. It is very frustrating! Lots of backspace, rewriting and rephrasing. This is the only app that does that.

I like it so far, using it for two days now. My main gripe is the text prediction feature is totally wack, predicts wrong words constantly. Only app that has this issue not sure why its not just using normal predictive text like every other app I use

I like this app okay, but its not flexible enough. Under projects, there is the list of projects, then a checklist of actions under each project, but sometimes those actions themselves have steps. The project action checklists need another layer of sublists in other words. This thing is supposed to help me get stuff accomplished, right? If youre doing research and writing, for example, there are multiple steps within each step. Would really like the option to spell that out for myself. I have memory problems and need an app that can do that but so far havent found one.

I like the concept, but it lacks features I need. The app asks you which situation applies to the task youre procrastinating on. Unfortunately, it lacks my two issues when it comes to getting stuff done. "I dont feel like doing it right now, Ill do it in a couple hours." And "Working on this task makes me anxious".

I use Procraster daily. I like the stats. It is helpful.

Ive used it for a few hours. This is perfect for moving into action. Im using another app for long term goals and deadlines. This one seems great for breaking down tasks on a project that seems too unwieldy to handle.
