  1. [R1] 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.
  2. [R4] TimeTree 2/5 · US ads: too many ads, very annoying. other than that works well.
  3. [R6] TimeTree 3/5 · US Great Calendar for Fam, Obnoxious ads…: Pros: Great planner for keeping up to date with family. Convenient and easy to use. Easy to navigate and set up. Cons: Too many ads, many large and invasive. Ads take up 1/3 the screen. Gambling and casino ads. :( Recommendation: Make small banner ads at the bottom. Ads make the app look low quality and shady.
  4. [R7] TimeTree 1/5 · US Used to be good: Greed has completely overtaken TimeTree. It used to be a good shared calendar with non invasive ads. Now they have pop ups take up the entire screen that you have to X out. Find a different calendar. I know I am now.
  5. [R16] TimeTree 2/5 · US No family plan: With this app being a shared calendar app it makes no sense that there isn't a family plan to remove ads/premium experience and it's $45 a year per person. That's wild work.
  6. [R34] TimeTree 1/5 · US Ruined It: This app was fantastic before the latest updates. One of the best way to ruin an app is by reducing the QoL of basic free features to try to push users to pay for the poor quality monthly premium. They’ve done just that. Since the recent update I’ve been getting full pop up ads. It’s distracting and obnoxious. Making something that was free before paid (in this case the app being ad-fre
  7. [R3] 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.
  8. [R9] TimeTree 3/5 · US Doesn’t work properly on Iphone: It works very slow on iphones
  9. [R12] TimeTree 3/5 · US Glirch or something: I had used this app for probably about 5 years. had all my plans and work schedule in it. and it deleted everything. I dont even understand how that is possible. but everything is gone and im very angry and frustrated. It was a good app but I guess like any app don't become reliable on it because it can fail you at any moment. I hadn't been on a guest account either, I was lo
  10. [R27] TimeTree 3/5 · GB Good but recent glitches: Been using this as a great family planning tool. Really great for combining different schedules. Only issue is that recently appointments have disappeared for no reason. This is a critical issue - if you can’t trust your diary, then you need a new diary. I hope the fix this issue otherwise will have to find a new app…
  11. [R10] TimeTree 1/5 · US Not enjoying the premium experience: It is very difficult to move from week to day view. You are unable to click on a day to make it expand or using a pinch motion function on the screen to zoom in and out. Most of the functions feel hidden, like importing external calendar info, which must be done every time I update my external calendar. The support function doesn’t work without images and there
  12. [R25] TimeTree 1/5 · US Lack of Export Ability: It’s a fine calendar for keeping up with family events and the color system does help. The reason I gave it one star is because it does not have the ability to export into my work calendar. I’m having to switch back-and-forth between calendars to determine if I can take a meeting or not. Fix this and it would be a good app.
  13. [R13] TimeTree 2/5 · US Difficult: I can’t delete certain events like birthdays. The instructions don’t work.
  14. [R15] TimeTree 3/5 · US Extra steps: Adding the extra steps to get to the memos/notes section is annoying
  15. [R19] TimeTree 1/5 · US Add (+): I really really hate that location of the add option. It obstructs the calendar. It should be placed back on the bottom toolbar.
  16. [R51] Calendar 1/5 · US Frustrating: All my events are gone, and are no where to be found. Incredibly frustrating
  17. [R54] Calendar 2/5 · US Whyyyy: Why whole calendar keeps getting deleted I feel like every other week…
  18. [R57] Calendar 1/5 · US Alerts don't work: My alerts don't work like they use too!! Apple sucks!!
  19. [R58] Calendar 4/5 · US Almost Perfect for Any Apple User: Apple’s calendar app has one leg up over the competition, and that is the integration with its products and services. I can ask Siri for the next event on my calendar from any of my Apple devices, and I can get personalized suggestions for new events as well based on conversations in iMessages or Apple Mail. There is one problem with this app, though, and it is t
  20. [R65] Cozi Family Organizer 1/5 · US Attachment File Feature: The feature that is needed, the most is the ability to upload and attach files screenshots and photos to the events that you are putting in the note feature is good, but it could be so much better if it allowed the functionality to include screenshots, photos and files I’ve been requesting this for over two years
  21. [R66] Cozi Family Organizer 4/5 · US My favorite with one exception: We have been using Cozi for many years, and it truly is the best calendar app in my opinion with one exception.. I wish Cozi would allow clickable links, specifically navigation addresses. I hate that I have to open the app, edit the event, copy the address and then paste into maps. It would be nice to just click the address (or recipe from outside web address) and
  22. [R69] Cozi Family Organizer 5/5 · US Cozi: I have been using this app for 13 years and it’s absolutely the best! I can add appointments, groceries, things to do. 10/10
  23. [R70] Cozi Family Organizer 3/5 · US Kat: I love Cozi but the Cozi gold is pricey and could be a lower price.
  24. [R79] Google Calendar 1/5 · US Color Update Broke Colors: The update for the desktop app broke colors. There is no consistency between the colors in the iOS app and the desktop version of calendar. Furthermore, custom colors that are available on desktop are not on the app. This update ruined the organization of my calendar.
  25. [R80] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Needs better notifications sound: Sync is faster than apples calendar app. However the notification sound is very tame and quiet. Not customizable at all.
  26. [R81] Google Calendar 3/5 · US Give Me All The Colors: I love google calendar but I wish I had all the color options that are available when picking the default calendar color for when I am picking my event colors. They are so much prettier and give more variety for the various types of events with a shared calendar. Please let me do this
  27. [R83] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Just needs one tweak: I wish the app icon would show the date, instead of constantly saying 31.
  28. [R93] 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!
  29. [R94] Calendars 5/5 · US Excellent: So easy to use, everything color coded makes it easy to see at a glance.
  30. [R95] 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
  31. [R97] Calendars 5/5 · US Best calendar app in existence: update: they gave us so many new color options! I still would love to be able to label the colors! Also thanks for bringing the month’s tab back to the lower part of the screen! Makes the UX and UI sooo much better! What a great design team! This is my all time favorite app because it’s soooo much easier to use. Only things I wish it had were more color options an
  32. [R107] Saturn Calendar 1/5 · US No new years: I am trying to login to see who is in my class next year but they don’t have the 2030 option so i can’t login could be a better app if they were on top of things
  33. [R108] Saturn Calendar 5/5 · US Class of 2030: Nice app! I just want class of 2030 to be added
  34. [R109] Saturn Calendar 3/5 · US Good app Please Add Crocus Plains,Vincent Massey And Neelin Highschools from brandon mb: Please add those schools
  35. [R110] Saturn Calendar 1/5 · US AI tool not there: The app was fine, but agter s little bit the ai alien helper just disappeared for me. Why did this happen???
