Schedule Planner
Schedule Planner is an app to aid users in planning out their daily activities in terms of importance. Each task can be associated to a specific category such as ‘work’, ‘health’ and ‘meals among others, once this has been selected users can simply input a time block to complete this task within. Your schedule can be viewed day to day or week to week via a graphic calendar. All tasks are colour coordinated to allow you to distinguish between each one and the app can provide users with an in-depth pie chart to show how their time is distributed between tasks and categories. Schedule Planner allows users to create schedules from scratch or use the templates provided to save time. The statistics and colour coordination allow you to see the areas you spend a lot of time doing and those which you may need to spend more time doing – prefect to help you stick to this new years resolution!
I will learn a new skill for the new year and keep it up for the whole year and hopefully beyond.

You are measured on accuracy, errors and timed on response to what key you need to press. The key sounds are life like, and the pitch is clear for each of the notes. There are also modes called Treble and Bass which are used for practising both your left and right hand. Are you a beginner? Don’t worry, with key hints the notes will be displayed clearly for you so you too can learn in no time. Your scores are also tracked so you can see your improvements. As you progress, you have the option to play new songs from music sheets which get more difficult as you progress. A great app to help you take up a new hobby in the new year – and do it well!
