Recurring themes

Ads for Pro Users negative
A vast majority of recent negative reviews report that even after paying for a 'Pro' or 'Premium' subscription, users are still subjected to frequent and intrusive ads, often upon opening the app. This directly contradicts the expectation of an ad-free experience and the developer's claim of a 'flawless performance' update.R1R3R4R5
Subscription Issues negative
Many users, even those who have paid for subscriptions, report constantly having to 'restore' their purchase, often encountering ads or prompts to re-subscribe during this process. This issue is widespread and highly frustrating. There is also confusion and frustration around pricing, with some users noting price increases or being forced into monthly plans despite prior yearly payments.R8R21R23R28
Data Loss negative
A significant concern is the reported deletion of calendar entries, including long-term events and birthdays, without warning. Users describe losing years of data, which severely impacts their ability to manage schedules.R17R21R24R38
Performance & Bugs negative
Despite developer notes claiming performance improvements, recent reviews indicate the app has become slow to open, contradicting the 'starts instantly' claim. Users also report issues with features like adding addresses, creating recurring events, and reminders not working. Some users experienced app crashes.R7R74R135R321
User Interface & Design mixed
Some users praise the app's visual appeal, organization, and monthly view for its ability to show event snippets. However, others dislike the overall look, find navigation confusing, or desire more customization options like additional colors or icons for events.R2R214R230R511

Who it's for

This app is for users who prioritize a visually appealing calendar with a good monthly overview and event snippets, and who are willing to potentially tolerate significant issues like ads, subscription bugs, and data loss R214R230R511. It is NOT for users who expect a reliable, ad-free experience, even with a paid subscription, or who cannot risk losing their calendar data R1R17.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with a strong consensus on the issues of ads for paid users and subscription restoration problems. While some positive aspects are mentioned, they are significantly outnumbered by complaints. The developer's release notes directly contradict the user experience regarding app performance and stability.

  1. [R214] 4/5 · US Great UI, but bugging out since recently: I love how this app is organized. I can view the entire month on a screen and I can even read snippets of each appointment from the monthly view, and when I want to see a specific date it collapses half way so I can view that specific day but still see the month dates as well. To me this is extremely helpful since I often move my appointments around and I
  2. [R230] 5/5 · US Whole month view: I just wanna thank the developers of this app. Smart! I have the option to view the whole month and sync my work application to this. Now I’m able to see the shifts right from the dates on the monthly view. How great is that?! Not only can I see my events but It makes it easier for me to pickup extra shifts on the days I’m not scheduled! However, I do believe that paying 599 a mo
  3. [R511] 5/5 · CA Way better than the default calendar app: I’ve been using this calendar app for a few years now, and I love it. The layout is simple and user interface is easy to maneuver. Highly recommend!
  4. [R9] 5/5 · US Reeee-View: Great App to keep ur Bills from bumping into your Oops and ur Laters fom bumping into your Nows!
  5. [R41] 5/5 · US Plan 4 Today: This is my go to for Daily Events❣️
  6. [R124] 5/5 · US Excellent service: I have been using this app for 3 years it is the best calendar app. every event is scheduled in a very organized system. Very easy to manage you agenda in a very cool and understandable matter.
  7. [R140] 5/5 · US It is a good reminder for me.: Aug 19 at 4:00 o’clock dr reed. In Clairmont in Indian way
  8. [R516] 4/5 · CA Only missing one thing: The ability to add travel time to an event reminder (after adding the location in the address field of course). Easy to switch between daily, monthly & activities calendar view. I love that each calendar is a different color picked by me. Dark mode, recurring events, syncing with google calendar.
  9. [R1] 2/5 · US Not Getting What I Paid For Again: I paid for the Pro version of this app, and I am experiencing for the third time this year not getting what I have paid for. When I use the contact link on the developer site, I continually get an error that my message cannot be sent. This app is fine if you don’t mind constant ads but be aware that you will get them even if you pay not to.
  10. [R3] 1/5 · US Ads?: Why do I get ads? I pay for subscription
  11. [R4] 2/5 · US Pop ups?: Not sure why you get a pop up every time you open the calendar? I payed for the premium subscription and still get pop ups? Very disappointing
  12. [R5] 1/5 · US Horrible: I paid for a whole year to not get ads and I still get them every time I get on it. It’s a waste of money!!!
  13. [R8] 3/5 · US Good but…: I love this app but it constantly makes me “restore” my subscription. Which is not a be deal in theory, but when you have to pull up your calendar fast but then have watch a one minute ad (when you pay 5 dollars a month), it’s not ideal… please fix this problem!! I might have to look for another calendar app if it’s not resolved.
  14. [R21] 3/5 · US starting to go bad: it used to work super well, but as of recently every time i open the app i have to "restore" my subscription, and all of my calender notes keep deleting. i missed 2 events because they're deleting from my calender after i KNOW i put them in there.
  15. [R39] 1/5 · US pay: i’ll pay for it yet. I continue to have to restore it. Why?
  16. [R65] 3/5 · US Consistency PLEASE: It’s my favorite app for years!!! but even though I pay for premium, every other day I get ads and have to “restore premium”. HIGHLY ANNOYING
  17. [R17] 4/5 · US Good but needs some fixes: Basically once a year this app deletes ALL of the stuff I’ve entered into my calendar. It is so stressful and inconvenient. I try to click the “missing calendars?” Button and it never opens to anything. And now all of my birthdays that I’ve been adding for years are also gone.
  18. [R24] 1/5 · US This app sucks: I have never rated any apps before, but this app sucks. I have been using this app since 2023 and I loved it! But I recently opened it up and all of my notes were gone. There was no warning, nothing. Everything was wiped. I tried to update it to see if that would work. I tried reinstalling it, but there was no option for me to log into anything. Now, when I log in there is a weird
  19. [R38] 1/5 · US Events Deleted!: Upon opening the app, all of my events on my calendar were deleted! Help me to recover them
  20. [R7] 1/5 · US Restore Purchases sometimes doesn’t work & no reminders: Clicking the reminders check box does nothing and can’t get reminders showing in the calendar anymore. Even though I’ve paid, sometimes I get loads of ads. Happy to change my review to 5 stars if these are fixed permanently. Tried to contact the company via their website form, but after submitting it says, “There was a problem sending your m
  21. [R321] 3/5 · GB Last update not so good, slow to open: Still love using the app and has everything I want. BUT since a recent update it takes forever to open. It used to be instant but now takes too long and is frustrating when trying to open in front of someone to make an appointment.
  22. [R135] 4/5 · US Location: It doesn’t pick up the address shown. You have to manually type it.
  23. [R439] 3/5 · GB Could be better: Has been a good calendar for me but has suddenly stopped allowing me to add addresses on to events unless I type them manually, which is a right pain! Has also started throwing in adverts when I open it even though I pay monthly for the app so don’t expect to see adverts.
  24. [R608] 3/5 · AU was great but now it’s pretty bad: this was the best calendar app but since the update where we have to pay now it’s pretty bad. i am fine paying but half the time when i go onto the app i still get the ads even tho i pay and then i have to restore my purchase. also i cannot put in a location anymore and i also can’t make events repeat. idk why i am paying for this app if half of the features don’
  25. [R23] 1/5 · US Too much money for app: Love the calendar. Started free, then went to $2 a month which I paid and is now $5 a month!?! Not worth $5 a month.
  26. [R28] 1/5 · US TRY TO MAKE YOU PAY TWICE!!!: I have a subscription to this app that is paid up till 2027. However, it is suddenly acting like I have no subscription and showing me the most annoying ads. When I try to get rid of the ads, it tells me that I have to sign up for a new subscription. I have done some research and found out that I’m not the only one having this problem. I have contacted the developers
  27. [R31] 1/5 · US So so app: I pay for the pro option and get popup ads this is ridiculous I have used this app for many years and seems has gotten worse to use since paying for it now. I am paid through 2027 and now getting popup to pay plus ads! What is wrong with your app????
  28. [R35] 2/5 · US Forcing me to pay monthly when i already paid yearly: I have paid for this app for several years. I’ve enjoyed the colors and customization. Recently I’ve been plagued by ads that also play noise. I already pay a yearly subscription and it seems the only way to get rid of the ads is to pay an astronomical monthly fee. I still have over 6 months left on this app that i already paid to NOT have ads.
  29. [R74] 3/5 · US Calendar: Seems like things have changed, I seem to be having difficulty locating things I may have just entered . It’s either that or I may have forgotten how to use it.
  30. [R32] 1/5 · US Garbage: Immediately tries to get you to sign up for a 3 day trial, so they can get your money and you can’t use it unless you sync your current calendar with it. So if the app suck and you don’t sign up and pay for it, they still get all of your data. These companies are ridiculous these days. You used to be able to try something, if you like it, buy it or stay on the free version. Now, it’s subs
  31. [R635] 3/5 · AU Unclear: Didn’t allow me to use without syncing to my calendar.
  32. [R651] 3/5 · AU Unfortunately stopped working: Was good and i liked it. Yesterday it stopped working. It closes the app one second after I open it. A restart of the phone does not help. As I need my calendar app to work for work, I have no other chance than to install a different app.
  33. [R2] 2/5 · US Missing part of words: Don’t like the look
