Alyjoye,
Great concept that needs attention
This app has a such a great concept behind it that really gives me, a grad student with a full time job, hope I can get everything done without any of my work suffering.
But, there are a few tiny glitches that get annoying when they pile up. 1) The widget doesn’t work because it doesn’t stay “logged in” when the app is logged in. 2) There’s no way to add a widget to the Home Screen for the latest update. 3) The phone app is just kinda slow and lacks functionally (which I can accept if everything else worked perfectly). 4) My app sends two notifications for plans: one for the actual time duration and another for the time it starts up until 11:59pm. Again, not a huge issue but annoying.
This app has so much potential and I really don’t want to see it stop getting the updates it needs. I’m on my free trial and I’m concerned about subscribing because it feels like this app will gradually lose more and more functionality.
I know that it’s primarily for Desktop and I do it use it that way, but I’m on my phone WAY more than my computer. I’d love to see this app grow and continue using it over the next three years!

SapphireLain,
I’d love to give it a 5 star review... but...
I think the concept for Shovel is amazing.. but there are a few issues with the actual execution. Tho I don’t think they’d be hard for the app developer to fix. I understand that the main way to edit things is on a computer, but! There should be a “hard copy” (so to speak) downloaded on the app. That only gets updated from the server. As in it should have an offline mode. Right now their server is down; and not only can I not access it on my computer (which is understandable since the computer version is solely web access) but I also can’t access it on my phone. This is a huge flaw. What if I hadn’t written down my assignments anywhere else? Or what if I simply wasn’t in an area with WiFi or cell service and wanted to check my assignments? I think it’s crazy that I have to be hooked up to the internet to do so. Please please add an offline stored version on the app. And also. Please fix the server. I’d love to give this app 5 stars. But not even being able to see all the info that I took hours to set up this week is really really not great.
ProfProductive,
Game Changer
So I’m actually a professor, not a student, but I absolutely love Shovel. I have just personally set it up so that my research, grant proposals, and other miscellaneous item are also “classes” and my assignments for my actual classes are things such as “preparing class material” or “grading homework”. I truly think this is a great app for anyone (student, teacher, or random person) who has anxiety about getting things done. It’s really helped me feel calmer knowing that everything has it’s time to get done. To me, it’s completely worth the yearly subscription.
If I had any suggestion for the developers, it would be to make options for the program to be more flexible (I.e. not only for students). I can see this being such a useful tool for anyone who likes block scheduling. Like I said, with just a tinch of creativity it’s easy enough to make it work for anyone as is, but I think a lot of people don’t realize that.

Erin Alexa,
Great but has some issues
I am super glad I found shovel. I’m only a few weeks into college, but Shovel has already been super helpful. It has been great on my MacBook Air but has some issues on the iPhone app. First, it’s super hard to adjust the time on a task or event on your phone. When I try to drag it, it doesn’t move well. When I try to type in the new times, it causes the app to crash. The app also crashes randomly. My other main issue is with the notifications. Despite the fact I have my settings set to notify me 15 minutes prior to the start of a task, it does not notify me until one minute after the start time. These problems are incredibly inconvenient. Other than that, I find this to be helpful. I don’t use the mobile app too much simply because of these issues, but the computer site seems fine for now. If the mobile app issues ever get fixed, I will change my rating, but for now, it will stay as it is.
iMacUser_,
I like it and recommend you try it. Small learning curve.
Needs an app for MAC IOS or downloadable on my MAC desktop.
You have to go to the website basically and sign up /sign in and you can more easily setup your school stuff but download the app to your ipad to add, and easy move around of tasks. Oh i also surest adding a step by step walkthrough manual that we can always access. Now, other than that its a very cool and useful way to stay on top of your school-work-life balance. Also reminds you of how little time in a day there is!lol But the calendar function setup is very helpful. I overall recommend that any student should try Shovel.

SchemeViller,
Beware: The app is dead
I downloaded Shovel ages ago, but the weak mobile app lead me to trial other, better software. But, before I purchased the lifetime subscription, I made sure to ask whether the app was being continually developed, I was assured that it was — it was not.
Further, I did my research before making this claim. A quick search on LinkedIn shows that all the team members, besides the founders no longer work at the company and stopped working there right around the time of the last big update. That means no software engineers — it’s dead.
At one point, the website’s SSL certificate had lapsed for months, and I wasn’t even able to log on. It’s back up now, but why on earth would I trust it to not happen again?
Don’t waste your money. Although the app works, it won’t be updated. And it’s mobile app is very weak anyway. I’d only consider using the app if you are content with primarily using the web version and hoping the app stays stable enough to work for a couple more years.
Here’s a list of other options that are somewhat similar to Shovel’s (very unique functionality): TimeFinder, SuperPlanner, Structured, Sorted 3, and TickTick. Do yourself a favor and use one of those actively developed apps.
As for Shovel’s developers, consider taking the app off the App Store. Or correct me if I’m wrong, either way, users deserve better.

Spurgeon3986,
I found the best college study app ever
I cannot remember how I came across this but I am so glad I did! The layout is awesome, the app never fails to show exactly what the web site shows, and all of my tasks are getting done because of it! It’s fantastic for college students like myself!
My only wish is that I could send everything over to Google calendar, even if it was a separate calendar that I had to select to view. My work schedules me through Google and I still tend to place appointments there out of habit and it would be wonderful to say “yes, I can be there” or “no, I can’t” by just opening one app. Maybe in the future.
Thanks for a great app/web site!

kdramafan76,
Excellent!!!
I started out using the website in beta two years ago and it helped me stay on top of my class work and get my associates. I am now working on my bachelors so glad they created the moblie app. Every how to do well in college book tells you steps to setup everything Shovel does but on paper/calendar but that does not come close to giving you the information you gain from Shovel. If you have trouble with time management get this app.
If you suffer from bipolar or depression this app is a life saver. It takes off some pressure when you are in an episode. You can schedule “my brain is not helping me at the moment” time.

My Mind Your Read,
College isn’t hard with Shovel
My journey with Shovel started in the beta when it was only available on the computer. I remember looking at all these different planners only to find this. From there I was hooked. I drifted away (due to the lack of an iOS app) planning on coming back when they got a app! So I’m so excited to kick off my new semester with the best planner app for college. The interface is pleasing to the eye and is easy to use. It also takes into account how long an assignment will take which is what sets it apart for me. You can easily plan out your time more effectively so you can have more time for other things.
Thank you so much for making the perfect app for college!
I’m so happy to use this app and highly recommend it to any college student who needs more control over their study habits! Also, I recommend looking at their study tips to complete the experience, especially if you’re new to college.
Now if only they had an everyday planner, my life would be complete✨

Fraud
I don't know if it's only me, but the website literally made me put in the card info for a free trial that I couldn't use because they never sent me an activation email to create an account, i texted them they say my message and responded, I tried again with a different email and still didn't get anything, and now that the free trial (that I never got) is over i got charger 3.99$ 3 times for an account that i don't even have, i clicked resend activation email and of course got nothing. Now since i don't have an account, there is no way for me to delete my card, so they'll just keep charging me 3.99$ twice evry month since i tried with two different emails. This is fraud and y'all are thieves. Please someone help, or let me know if you went through the same thing.
