Planny is designed to organise your life by combining calendars, reminders, notes and to-do lists.

Version 3 adds support for Dark Mode, new Siri Shortcuts, and document scanning; on iPad you get multi-space and multiwindo­w support. It also introduces a long-press contextual menu for easier organisati­on, the ability to create subtasks and integratio­n with Apple’s Game Center to compare your productivi­ty rankings and achievemen­ts.

A subscripti­on unlocks the Calendar view, location-based reminders, iCloud sync and backup, Face ID unlocking, sketching, printing and tagging, and collaborat­ion features. Planny is also available for your Mac and Apple Watch.

Planny also enables you to create lists, events with deadlines, and tags and the app can identify tasks for your daily plan and remind you of upcoming deadlines.

The interface is a bit confusing; it’s not obvious where you would create new tags. We also encountere­d bugs: significan­t delays between selecting a section and Planny switching to it, and some buttons that didn’t respond. We’re sure these’ll be fixed in the regular app updates.

 ??  ?? It’s great in Dark Mode, and you can choose more sober colours.
