5/5Incredible
Delete Bear, Todoist, Ulysses and any other "free” subscription-based apps that you have to pay monthly for. Agenda effectively ties organization, scheduling, and note-taking/short-form writing apps together for an awesome multi-platform (macOS/iOS) experience. I first downloaded it two months ago and have used it every day since for work and life (wish I had this back while I was still in law school). One of the best aspects of Agenda is the full-featured version (which is totally optional) is unlocked for a reasonable one-time fee. But even compared to other *more expensive* highly-acclaimed, one-time purchase apps (e.g., Things 3, Fantastical 2), I still prefer Agenda for practically everything. The Agenda interface seems more effective for my simple tasks, and more intuitive for more difficult ones. One notable example of this is the “Share” menu, which includes default options like “Send by Email”; ”Send with Messages”; ”AirDrop”; “Add to Notes”; and “Create Reminder,” as well as more personalized (yet automatically configured) options allowing sharing to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pocket, Evernote, MailMate, EagleFiler, and Simulator. Hovering over one of these sharing options presents an additional menu that allows you to choose the format, including standard formats, i.e., Notes, PDF, Markdown, as well as Agenda specific options, i.e., Agenda File, Agenda Link. Given the time it takes, I have written very few App Store reviews—and will only do so for apps that I am extremely impressed with, or extremely disappointed with. For an app like Agenda that has enhanced my life to the degree it has, however, writing a positive review to spread the word is the very least I would do.

2/5Seriously lacking a key functionality
UDATE: Nothing like a dev telling a PAID customer that what they want is not important. I am avoiding this DEV FOR GOOD. TOO ARROGANT. END UPDATE: This app needs templates for projects. It has templates for notes which for me is useless but templates for projects would be priceless. The first request for this functionality on the devs website for Agenda was in 2018 and several others followed. All such requests have been commented on by several users stating how much they desire this functionality. Based on how nice this app looks & functions (this one critical issue aside), I doubt that it can’t be done and I don’t understand why it hasn’t with so many requests. This app is not cheap. I use it for several tasks but one is for planning woodworking projects. I have a project I would like to use as a template as I have notes within it that apply to all of my woodworking projects (Materials, cut list, joinery by part, machining by part, assembly instructions/order). For each project, each note is different (thus a template for notes to me is useless) but I need the same notes in each project (thus the need for templates for projects). I understand not all requests for update can be done or are feasible (I think this can be done and is feasible) but what is frustrating is the number of customers requesting the functionality and it not being implemented in the 4+ years since it was first requested.

5/5Exactly what I was looking for
I’ve played a lot of video games, particularly RPG’s, and wanted something similar to the typical “Journal” feature that tracks quests and their various stages and whatnot, often with explanatory notes attached. At first I wasn’t sure if this app was what I was looking for, but it was exactly. Maybe that’s not the intention, but it fits the bill exceedingly well. This is the only app I’ve ever written a review for, so that says something I hope. When I was setting up my notes and projects, I thought to myself that it was a little inconvenient that I couldn’t see everything at once, then I clicked on the overview and saw everything at once. I’m not a big time white collar worker, nor do I own a business or something, I just use this to be a bit more organized. Speaking as someone who doesn’t have the same kind of responsibility typical of the users of this kind of app, it’s been exactly what I’m looking for (this is without premium too).

4/5Warming up to it, needs some improvements
Agenda’s a weird one. I’ve used a bunch of different notes apps, eventually landed on Apple Notes as a simple place for my digital outboard brain, I use iThoughtsX for brainstorming, and I already use Day One as a journal, but Agenda’s aesthetic and novel date-focused design intrigued me. I found the Category/Project very intuitive to use, very similar to other notes apps. I love using Markdown, and Agenda does a good job of being a WYSIWYG Markdown text editor. I struggled to work the dates part into my workflow, though. I occasionally have meetings where I need to capture notes, but not often. I mostly work on creative projects where I’m capturing information about a topic. I kept *thinking* about Agenda, though, so I kept pulling it up and experimenting with it for a while, and I’ve started to understand how to use On the Agenda, dates, and attaching to events to help make sure I see the relevant information when I need to more easily than other notes apps. The thing that keeps killing it for me, despite enjoying it, is how difficult it is to get things *into* Agenda that don’t involve typing into it. I’m used to pulling up an Apple Note, hitting +, taking a picture of a whiteboard, and having it attached to that note forever. Or using the share sheet on a website to drop a URL into a note for that topic. Agenda doesn’t work quite like that. Attachments are buried in a cog menu attached to the note, which is not nearly seamless enough for me on mobile. Drag and drop works great on Mac, though. I think Agenda has potential, hoping one day it has the features that will enable it to work with my workflow better.

4/5Life changing at work
Overall, I’m thrilled to have this app!!!!!! Nothing else is like it exists (linking note taking to calendar events) and it’s an indispensable for keeping my work organized. I am more than happy to pay for this application and I love not being forced into subscription pricing!! That said, I hope the iOS version eventually gets to the same level of polish as the Mac version.... The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because text entry on iOS is frustratingly inferior to the Mac version of Agenda. For example, I am constantly recorrecting style assignments that render incorrectly or seem to change on their own, and simple things like setting my text insertion point at the end of a line (using touch) is crazy hard. I fear these iOS shortcoming are so fundamental that they threaten Agenda’s long-term survival. If I hadn’t tried the Mac version first and experienced what the developers were capable of, I would have given up on the iOS version by now over text manipulation and rendering problems. Because I mainly live on an iPad, I hope I don’t have to suffer this silliness much longer.
