Sooner: straight A in planning cases
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Can we reinvent the wheel? It would seem that the answer to this question is obvious. Why do things that had once come up with the others? But Sooner application developers decided to think: what if the "wheel" to use the box? Is it possible to adapt it to, say, a to-do list? Let's see what they have and whether it has accelerated the execution of tasks. How convenient "round" Sooner diary and how efficiently perform tasks.
I have to say that the application is quite unusual and developers had to release a whole instructions to create events and tasks. It would seem, why spend the time to study the instructions, consisting of 13 chapters, but "time is money", and an application that normally costs 199 rubles., Now costs just 33 rubles.
Developer introduced the concept of "deadline" which operates throughout the manual - this means the deadline for the end of the task. Let us and we will use this term in the review.
By installing the application, we have a semi-circle on the iPhone screen, consisting of multi-colored segments. Each segment with a colored cap - an area of a specific project or task.
Go to Settings and set the synchronization of the calendar and time reminders. The main interface language matches the language set in the phone settings. Calendar and time format, as well as days of the week, depending on the setting of the region in the phone.
The new project (adding a segment in a circle) is created quite simple - drag the button "Plus" in the segment later in this project are creating to-do lists. If the project requires precise execution period, then create it and the deadline, if necessary, specify a reminder time.
In addition to projects with a specific due date, you can make all the cases, tasks and plans, which are still kept in the head. The higher the task, the higher its priority, and it will first appear in a segment on the overview screen. As a result, we get quite a visual image.
Left of the task displayed its deadline. Color refers to the date of the urgency of the problem:
Red - overdue, orange - the deadline today, yellow - the deadline for 3 days, the gray - the deadline more than 3 days.
In addition to the screen "viewing tasks and projects" in the Sooner have a second main screen - "diary." Navigate between the screens is easy enough clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
On the Create Datebook events that differ from the usual tasks that they immediately planned for some time.
Any event or a scheduled task, you can quickly move on any given day in the calendar mode. Also on the calendar is convenient to watch the events planned for the future, because lap event marked just one week.
The screen can be easily scaled by double-tapping or pinch (dilution or mixing two fingers). This allows you to clearly see in detail a certain part of the day, in the name of narrow segments and move the border of a narrow segment of the new time with greater accuracy.
And now about the sensations from the use of such an unusual scheduler and tasks. It turned out that the original sarcasm quickly vanished, and I appreciated the ease of application. All tasks and stages of their implementation - before his eyes. Deadlines and scheduled meetings - too.
Listed cases are synchronized with the primary calendar, which, if necessary, makes it possible to view them on other devices.
So obvious advantages:
- 2 problems viewing modes that interact with each other ( "To Do List" - tasks are grouped by category, for projects, you can specify the deadline; "Diary" - the minute planning of the day);
- vivid and bright color category;
- management of a finger, including even such as adding a task and set priority;
- many options reminders, ability to set recurring events;
- iCloud synchronization with calendars and Gmail.
Disadvantages:
- inability to voice typing (which has already been implemented in other planners);
- periodic inclusion of the learning function.
We recommend that you try Sooner. Least complicated settings, unusual design, will appeal to all who wish to streamline their business and plan the time correctly. And you use the iPhone to plan your day?
