1. [R4] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US What is going on: I’ve been using and paying for this app for years then all of a sudden all my schedules have been deleted. Idk how to fix this.
2. [R7] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Everything deletes: Deleting this garbage. This the is second time that my calendar has been wiped clean on its own. My whole month was filled and now it’s emptied and nothing happened to make that happen.
3. [R13] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Still not fixed: I have text you several times about losing info from 2020-2024. Yet I still have all info from 2015-2023 I have done what you say and I still don’t have it fixed 😡
4. [R18] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US Loved till recently: The was the best calendar until recently. I have lost all my info three times. First time was able to restore from iCloud but the last 2 times it didn't restore. Another issue is the colors, I color code everything and every few days when I open the app all events are the same color, RED! So frustrating. I hope they get it fixed.
5. [R12] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US Auto-screwups: For some reason, the program takes names and numbers off the main line and randomly puts them in the second line. Very frustrating.
6. [R25] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Difficulty: Had to change a few things and having difficulty with the repeat portion
7. [R28] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Tried several times to create events and they won’t save just delete time after time. Waste of time I bet they want FULL VERSION to pay to use as they have it plastered on the interface . Don’t use it.
8. [R1] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Hit by Scam: As soon as my calendar was linked, I was hit by a scam.
9. [R9] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US Nice Calendar but: When I put in USA holidays s bunch of moslem holidays filled my calendar blocking my events. Sorry but to me USA Holidays are events like July 4th not Al etc
10. [R10] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Scam Alerts: I’ve been using PocketLife for years and have loved it but this year I keep getting scam alerts that fill in on every day for months and I have to go back to their origin and delete them . Annoying.
11. [R30] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US Porn: I’ve loved this calendar up until now. I use the free version because that’s all I’ve needed, so I have ads. In the last few months I’ve noticed some of my ads include naked women. I have a family and sometimes my kids use my phone. Totally not ok.
12. [R2] PocketLife Calendar 5/5 · US Diana: I love this calendar but maybe in future you could add a drop down box for notes on each day. That would be so helpful for those of us with a bad memory.
13. [R3] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US Overall good App but missing a core feature: Reminders showing inside widget would be a core feature to add will attract a-lot of fantastical calendar users like me since they messed up their widget
14. [R19] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Settings are NOT USER FRIENDLY: When there is an update, it’s not always for the better. There used to be a QUICK EDIT where you just tapped on the event itself (after tapping on event on the date on the Calender) but now you actually have to tap the tiny little EDIT button, an EXTRA STEP! Also the is nothing clear in the settings on how to customize your calendar and how to make changes it’s abso
15. [R27] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US New upgrade: Too many steps to add something to the calendar. The blue arrive is in 2 different places at different times of adding and it is easy to X out info you’ve added.
16. [R15] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · US I went back to iOS calendar …: I’ve used PocketLife Calendar for more than 10 years, but have decided to go back to the free Apple iOS calendar. I asked many years ago about a lifetime subscription for a one-time rate, y’all replied that it was being considered. As this subscription option has never materialized I have decided to stop using PocketLife Calendar. Wishing you continued success w
17. [R36] PocketLife Calendar 3/5 · GB Could be better: Used this app for the past 3 years. Good functionality however I haven’t noticed any development improvements or bug fixes. The same glitches remain but the cost goes up.
18. [R45] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US This app was amazing: I have used this app for many years. It was awesome in the past being able to sync calendar with my husband. This year issues with syncing and now having to pay extra for alarms with events. I’m very disappointed and now need to find another app to transfer everything on to.
19. [R31] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Required sync: I really dislike that you have to sync this calendar with your phones calendar
20. [R34] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Poor support: I’ve recently had problems with this app. After support initially responded with suggestions for a fix (which didn’t correct the problem) they ignored my attempts for further help by not responding to any of my additional request for help. We are unable to share our calendars. I’ve already paid for their calendar for the year 2025 and I’ve absolutely no use for it. My wife and I are
21. [R37] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Bummed: Got this to be separate from my Apple calendar and it synced everything. Literally NOT want I wanted and said NO! I’d update something and it never showed in this one, it showed in my Apple calendar. So bummed… $5 in the 🚽…
22. [R51] Calendar 1/5 · US Frustrating: All my events are gone, and are no where to be found. Incredibly frustrating
23. [R52] Calendar 4/5 · US Good but add specific times for events not just times that end in zeros and fives: Wonderful organization but add specific times for events not just times that end in zeros and fives and stickers and more colors that personalize it
24. [R53] Calendar 3/5 · US I’d like a refund: I like this app, I use it for everything. I would like more access to change things; example: how are Jewish and Islamic holidays considered “U.S. Holiday” ( which is not true) and I can’t remove the holiday so it’s not in my calendar reminder
25. [R54] Calendar 2/5 · US Whyyyy: Why whole calendar keeps getting deleted I feel like every other week…
26. [R65] Calendars 1/5 · US Disappointed: Had this app for an about two years have lost all of my important dates twice! Look for a better and more reliable app!
27. [R66] Calendars 5/5 · US Excellent: So easy to use, everything color coded makes it easy to see at a glance.
28. [R67] Calendars 3/5 · US Calendars kept dissapearing because you have to have an apple or Google calender already: My whole calender disappeared and the whole reason I had it was because I had deleted the Apple calendars app but it needs it for it to work? Defeats the whole purpose of a calender app
29. [R68] Calendars 1/5 · US Could not even use because it wouldn’t load: Just like the title says.
30. [R79] TimeTree 1/5 · US 100% NOT worth it: Why can’t I export this calendar to something like Google Calendar?? I’m forced to use this one now. The ads at the top make the overall calendar hideous. Money hungry app that forces you to pay if you don’t want to see ads. Please just use Google calendar or Apple calendar.
31. [R80] TimeTree 4/5 · US Night shift: Ok love this app but it’s hard to set a night shift schedule when I work go into work at 11:30 pm on say a Monday and get off work at 7:30am on the following Tuesday
32. [R81] TimeTree 3/5 · US Good product: Overall good product. It’s only screwed me one time when I put in a doctors appointment for 8:30 AM and when it was saved and you go out of the appointment, it showed 9:30 AM could not fix that event. Had to delete it and redo it but I didn’t notice that until after I missed my appointment.
33. [R82] TimeTree 2/5 · US ads: too many ads, very annoying. other than that works well.
34. [R93] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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.
35. [R94] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 5/5 · US Reeee-View: Great App to keep ur Bills from bumping into your Oops and ur Laters fom bumping into your Nows!
36. [R95] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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.
37. [R96] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 2/5 · US Missing part of words: Don’t like the look
38. [R107] Timepage 1/5 · US No natural language input in 2025: This apps UI is beautiful, that’s about it. With no natural language input in 2025, when other apps have had it for over a decade, this app easily need to go to the sideline. Update: Still no Natural Language feature. And live activities feature is broken. Very disappointed.
39. [R108] Timepage 4/5 · US Greta app !: Love the experience. Beautiful and far superior to Apple’s. One small suggestion: the live activities window. Needs redesigning. The second by second countdown is unnerving, maybe by the minute is ok, and the time of appointment should be the largest clear time on window. Just saying… i enjoy the app 👍🏻👍🏻
40. [R109] Timepage 3/5 · US App randomly freezes: I love the app except that it seems in the last few months to randomly freeze and doesn’t load completely, leaving me with a blank screen. Reloading doesn’t seem to keep all info intact.
41. [R110] Timepage 1/5 · US Avoid at all costs!: …Unless you want a calendar app that crashes EVERY time you input an event. I got lured in by how pretty this app is, but it is a non-functioning mess. No natural language input. Crashes consistently. Laughably inept at events that repeat. Big mistake paying for this.
42. [R5] PocketLife Calendar 5/5 · US Best calendar I’ve seen: Easy to use, colorful, customizable, compatible with other calendars.
43. [R14] PocketLife Calendar 5/5 · US Love! Highly recommended: I’ve had these app a few years I love it This app helps me tremendously keep track of everything especially able to change the color of events. Best calendar ever
44. [R16] PocketLife Calendar 1/5 · US Best datebook/calendar app!: With this app I can color code my different events with ease. The events in my calendar are also visible, not just a fit like in the iPhone app. It also streamlines with my MacBook calendar so I don't have to do it twice.
45. [R20] PocketLife Calendar 5/5 · US Great Calendar App: Great App - I’ve used this app for 6 years on iPhone and iPad and love it. Color coding repetitive activities and using text searches are easy to filter out historical appointments. Sure would be nice to filter by color!!!!
46. [R83] TimeTree 5/5 · US I love it: Me an my significant other have been looking for a calendar to share and this works great for us !
47. [R89] TimeTree 5/5 · US Wife-hub: I love this app very convenient and always recommend to my couples friends! I have Apple and hubs has android and this is so great for me keeping track of everything with our toddler and families. Allows him to see and edit also! You can add notes or locations for events and I’m a visual person so I color code certain things like Dr apt.
