How can I try the product? I entered my name and email but it seems to have just subscribed me to an email list? IMHO, messaging could be more clear as I'd love to explore the product right now. :)

@rrhoover Hey Ryan, thanks for checking us out - big fan! Sorry you had that issue, we were having some issues with backend (ah the joy of launches), it seems to be back up now tho. Grab here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/... Please feel free to email me cathryn [at] bestself.co if you see anything else. Thanks again!
Ryan Hoover
@cathrynlavery no worries! Just downloaded the app. 🙌🏼

Fascinating concept. Downloaded the app and started the sign up process, but stopped because an automatic $50 annual subscription fee after ONLY a 7-day trial feels like I'm being cornered into a yearly charge. 7 days is not enough time to put a new productivity app through the paces before dropping $50 on a brand new mobile app (w/ no desktop version).

I like it but very buggy and at the moment don’t see what it does that Butleroy doesn’t (which is free). Without third party task sync (or at least API) its pretty much useless I think. I will use it as a day planner only for the trial but certainly wouldn’t pay £46 per year for it as it stands. Its a shame as I am an existing customer of this company and their journals are good, but this needs a lot more work to justify the price tag.

@scott_clennell Hey Scott, Please email us at support@bestself.co and we can look into this for you.

Managing weekly tasks alongside meetings and other weekly schedules was a pain. We created a way to take your to-do list and overlay it on top of your weekly calendar so you know exactly what is needed to do every second of the day. Talk about maximizing productivity. Dawn uses an algorithm to prioritize your day, tasks, events, and meetings. Your weekly schedule has never been more streamlined or built for efficiency.

I've been using this since beta... smart scheduling is such a cool feature. I don't worry about whether I'm working on what's most important. Dawn automatically slots my tasks into my daily schedule by priority.... so badass!

Highly Recommended to people looking to stop treading water at work and start winning again.

Pros:

Smart Scheduling is a live saver for those who have a ton of meetings every week.

Cons:

More social interactivity / sharing... I want to leverage other people's structure and systems.

Signup via Google doesn't work. App just crashes back to the iOS menu.
Allen Brouwer
@julian_hoare SHould be working if you sign up with email, and bypass the Google sign in.
Petar-Nino Krnić
Is there an @Android version or just iOS?! Thanks
Cathryn Lavery
@petar_nino_krnic Hey not at this time but we have plenty of Android users on the team and we will be pushing out an Android version in the future!
Valentina Albæk

missing some of the functionality that is shown in demo. I thinks the app is not taking the time zones into account.

Pros:

the idea in itself

Cons:

so many bugs, really pity

Cathryn Lavery
Hey Valentina, Would you mind reaching out to us at support@bestself.co so we can look into the bugs you are experiencing so we can get you going with Dawn asap!
Chris Williams

Has never worked. Doesnt work on iphone, ipad, or macbook. appears to be poorly engineered and highly breakable. No features, always broken, always crashing. Has never worked in the 8 months i have been a PAYING user. Owners don't care and don't answer. Save your money and get a real app from a real developer. I NEVER write reviews but will gladly make the effort to trumpet what a frustrating experience this scam has been.

Pros:

Nothing. It doesn't work and is a fraud

Cons:

Same as above

Cathryn Lavery
Hey Chris, We are so sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind messaging us at support@bestself.co so we can look into this and get Dawn working for you again.
Allen Brouwer
@cwcw6 - so sorry to hear about your frustrations - We've been in beta for the past 12 months, and have only given access to existing customers who have been testing the product for us. You've must of made it into the "beta group" thinking we were live, our apologies - we were not ready for the public... until now. The experience you're reviewing above is a beta application and is not the product we have today. Message me directly and I can help get you access to the new program and see what we can do about your past frustration.
Elisabeth Romberg
Hey, Dawn didnt ask me for my work hours and there seems to be no where I can punch it in. Help?
Cathryn Lavery
@elisabeth_romberg Hey Elisabeth, it should be working now, if its not please email us at support@bestself.co so we can look into this for you.
Olga Gonçalves
Not working at all... hope you can solve all the problems soon otherwise I will cancel...
Cathryn Lavery
@olga_goncalves Hey Olga, please email us at support@bestself.co so we can look into your issues for you and get it resolved asap!
