dash.Why do students stop using planner apps?
Planners only work if you open them and keep them updated. Entering every class, assignment and date change takes time, and a busy week is exactly when it slips.
That's not a flaw in the apps; it's how planners work. If you like that routine, a planner app is a great fit.
How is Dash different from a planner app?
- No typing it all inSend a syllabus photo or PDF, or sign in to Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle or Blackboard on Dash's secure page.
- It comes to youDash texts a heads-up before each deadline, in the same thread as your friends.
- Ask anything"When's my chem midterm?" gets an answer from your own courses in seconds.
When is a planner app the better choice?
If you want to see your whole week laid out as a timetable, color-code classes, or plan a rotating school schedule, a planner app does that well. Some students use a planner for the view and Dash for the reminders.

Questions students ask
Is Dash a planner app?
Not quite. There's no app to open. Dash keeps your deadlines for you and texts you before each one.
Can Dash put my study sessions on my calendar?
Yes. Dash can add or change calendar events once you say yes.
Do I need to enter every assignment?
No. Dash reads them from your syllabus or learning system, and you can text it anything else.
What if my professor changes a date?
Tell Dash, or let it spot the change in your email or learning system. It updates the date and moves your reminders.
