Out of box, I really am liking it! Usually I don't review things, but it's pretty awesome. Definitely interested to see if it has integrations. Time boxing built in - easier day view migration of tasks that sync to google calendar. I think it would be awesome to create a time box for list of similar grouped tasks that's communicated to google calendar, able to move them to and from groups. Overall, the app has a lot of customizations. It feels more like a Tasker or Nova for your to-do list.

This widget app is so cool. It links right to my Google calendar and shows me in a clock format what my next events are. It's much easier to figure it out in my mind when I see it like this. Rather than go to my calendar and scroll up and down its just a widget on my main screen that shows me details like how many hours til my next event. That's super cool. I think it's a real game changer in daily time keeping.

It's pretty neat. I love the how everything pops out on the clock. Only thing is I tried scheduling things after 12 PM and it wouldn't pop up and I notice it only shows 12 hours at a time. If you buy the pro version it comes with the 24 hour feature, which I think is totally worth it. Seeing 24 hour option you can see everything from start to finish and not miss anything.

I first found Sectograph shortly after becoming an Android user for the first time and loved it! Then I started getting into theming, especially very minimalistic theming, and the widget didn't fit well on many of my home screen layouts (my preference, not any issue with the app). But now with the notification bar option, it's back in regular use!! I'm entertaining the idea of getting a smart watch, so it's exciting to see that would be an option as well! Thanks for an awesome app!

Good app, but not exactly what I was looking for. This app uses your calendar events and organizes them in the circle. The controls are great, I love when I move the red time bar it scrolls through all the things and shows the time changing. Love the widget. I wanted this to work out a homeschool schedule. I ended up having to make a new calendar and syncing only that one. I was able to change the colors of each event in the app. Very easy to use overall.

[Edit: this review still holds years later, IMHO. Still a great app, and I still want to be able to change the calendar colors.] In general, this is a great app--the visualization of upcoming events on a clock face is very helpful. One question: is there a way to change the calendar colors? I haven't found one, and having them represented in different colors than I use elsewhere is distracting.

This app was exactly what I was looking for. a visual of the day in clock form. Only issue is, if I add something to the clock it adds it to my calendar. I don't want that. I want an app where the calendar and app are separate. This was supposed to be for studying and exercise. I didn't want to have to add those things as into my ready packed calendar. it was a fast uninstall. Iif there was an option to disconnect the two, I'd reinstall.

I have ADHD. Time management and planning are my worst nightmares. This app makes it so easy to SEE my schedule. The visual representation of the wheel makes it easier to make sense of how much time I have. It's also SO helpful to see how far I am into my day... I could go on. It's a great app and worth the premium price, but the free version is also fantastic.

The widget is on my homescreen (adjustable) and helps me visualize my day the way I see it in my head: in the form of a clock face. It is unique among all the planner apps. It syncs immediately when I add something or change something in Google Calendar, unlike some apps that lag. I would buy it all over again. You can also customize the colors on the paid version. Good stuff!

So close to what I need, but not quite. I absolutely love the visualization of having your time displayed on the sectograph, but I want to add my daily events directly into the app instead of linking it to an external calendar so I can keep track of my recurring daily tasks instead of cluttering up my main calendar app, which I only want to use for important events. So for me it is not useful, but for someone else it could be amazing.

This really is pretty handy. It does a good job of visually showing what is happening on a specific day. Although I probably didn't need it, I purchased the Pro version, because I like the idea that the app is not subscription based (I refuse to fall for recurring payments). Doesn't link with your contacts. Location does not link to Maps.

Not really what I was going for. It's ok I guess if you want to use Google or your phones calender, but I wanted a detailed schedual with alarms to remind me to go to the next event. Love the look, but not useful to me. Biggest problem is the calendar goesnt have the right options for scheduling, like only choosing week days for a class instead of every day or every week. If it had its own options instead of going off the calendar it would be perfect!

Excellent and useful! I wish I had a smart watch to put it on but it's good on my phone too. Occasionally the widget can glitch and turn invisible but it will come back. The outside clock face numbers are only black? Can't see them on my background and can't figure out how to change them. The widget palette is great, but I can imagine customization with background images of clock faces, different hand shapes, and/or color gradients to make it look really impressive!

I love this app ; the only thing that would make me like it more would be if the text wrapping on the sections made more sense. Sometimes the titles of my events get cut off and placed in odd spots in the sectors. Also I've found the colors are very limited. When it looks into my calendar to match the color my calendar has for events, it gets it wrong or doesn't have the color.

I really like this app and it is definitely a very nice visual way to keep track of time. The one MAJOR issue I keep encountering though is that it does not seem to easily sync with my Google calendar, which is where I have all my daily tasks stored. Edit: after trying a few troubleshooting options (including the FAQ suggestions), I was finally able to get Sectograph to begin syncing again by uninstalling and reinstalling Google calendar. It seems like it was a one-time glitch. Love this app!

It doesnt seem to be possible to delete a single event in a series. So if I want to block off an hour every day for the same thing, but then I have to schedule a one-off thing during that time, I can't just delete one occurence and leave the rest of the future occurences alone. I love the app otherwise but this problem is pushing me toward a different app.

Amazing, and the extra features are totally worth the price. Thank you! Edit (5 stars to 2) -- within the last year, the widget has stopped keeping time. That's what it's for, the widget. A clock. Now to see the (accurate) time on the widget, I have to wake it up, kind of. I generally do that by long pressing. This is new, and it's pretty critical. YES, I have checked and double checked the Android settings for this app. It's not sleeping, it's not prevented from running in the background. Et

This widget was so pretty I just had to get it, and let me tell you it still sits all pretty and beautiful and circular on my home screen, ain't got no ragrats. It tells the time, it shows events in this circular manner around the edges, it's got shortcuts and color customizability. It's just a neat widget overall.

What a great app. I'm still figuring out the personalization (colors) but it synced great with my Samsung calendar because it's linked to my Google account. But seriously, cheers to the developer(s). I won't forget another doctor's appointment, haircut or birthday party ever again. it's also visually appealing.

I wish it was fully 24 hour functional in free mode, but it does what I paid for. I haven't been able to find this capability anywhere else- and I've been looking for years. It requires a lot of customization to be usable, but it lets you do that. BTW you can input your own events directly into the app- you just have to allow calendar access, 'create local calendar', and then manually remove access to any calendar apps you don't want it to automatically draw from. This was not obvious enough.
