App Review – Bullet Your Life

Hey! Tara here and thanks for checking out my blog. I update every Tuesday with posts about university life, studying tips and advice and talk about productivity and organisation too. If you want to keep up to date with my latest blog posts I’d love it if you subscribed to this blog. I’m learning that I’m bad at remembering to check when I’ve queued posts for so this one is a little bit late, I’m sorry!

Now this app is a little bit different to what I was expecting when I downloaded it, I’ll admit. But I’ve been using it for the last little while and I wanted to share my thoughts for people trying to find a good bullet journal app.

The Good

The main good point about this app is that it does what it says on the tin. It gives you a weekly log section, a monthly section and a place for notes.

The text is all easy to read and the different symbols for the bullets make it easy to tell the difference between different types of tasks,

The look of the app is beautiful, the bar at the bottom with “weekly / monthly / notes” really adds to it and gives the app a pleasant look.

The Not-So-Good

So far I haven’t found a way to check off the tasks once you do them which is pretty frustrating. I’d love to click a button and have that task with a strike through it now or something.

There’s no instructions on how to use the app and it’s not straightforward, it took me a little bit of time to work out exactly what was going on in it.

There’s no habit tracking which I know a lot of people want in a bullet journal. It’s something small but could work well for repeating tasks too and there’s just … no options for any of that.

Overall thoughts

This review is a lot shorter because there’s just less to say about the app in general. I love the look of the entire thing but it’s just a simple list app with no way of checking tasks off. They’ve went for a brilliant aesthetic but the functionality is lacking and in a bullet journal app that latter part is key. I struggled to use it and even want to use it and that’s why I would recommend this app if you’re wanting to make lists but not as a bullet journal replacement.
