Weak spots

  • Translation-quality English throughout the app
  • Trial-to-paid conversion surprises in reviews
  • Cute aesthetic is polarizing and feels too childish for some professionals
  • Not a calendar planner or time-blocker
  • Plus tier ($40–70/yr) is expensive for mostly cosmetic pet outfits
