  5. [R4] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 2/5 · US Missing part of words: Don’t like the look
  6. [R16] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 1/5 · US Ads: I’ve had this calendar app for several years now. I’ve always found it easy to use and reliable. I pay the monthly subscription fee because I need the features it offers. But now when I go to set an appointment or reminder, which I do daily, I am forced to watch an ad and keep people waiting while the ad finishes. I while I understand ads help keep you in business I would think you could giv
  7. [R24] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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.
  8. [R1] 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.
  9. [R3] 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.
  10. [R5] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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.
  11. [R6] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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.
  12. [R7] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 1/5 · US Ads?: Why do I get ads? I pay for subscription
  13. [R9] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 3/5 · US My calendar: Would love this app if it wasn’t bloated with annoying ads popping up all the time. I guess I might would purchase a subscription but it doesn’t say that that would stop the ads from popping up. I would like to know before I spend my money???
  14. [R19] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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
  15. [R53] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 5/5 · GB Paid for ad free and still receiving ads: I have been enjoying this app since 2018 and they have recently started charging to go ad free which I don’t mind as I have loved and raved about this app for many years to my friends and family. I’ve been paying for the ad free version but I am still receiving ads which I am extremely unhappy about and I do not know how to contact anyone for assistance. P
  16. [R60] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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
  17. [R10] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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
  18. [R77] Structured 5/5 · US ADHD girlies, sign up now!: I am fortunate to be an OG lifetime membership user. I believe I got the pro plan early on for something like $20. I have since converted at least a dozen of my close friends and family. This is a perfect app that only continues to grow, improve, and impress. I could not function without it and I could not recommend it enough! The mobile version has reshaped how I can
  19. [R104] Structured 5/5 · US Great Organization Tool!: I struggle with ADHD, and I have a hard time remembering to do things on a daily basis. With Structured, I can see exactly what I need to do within an a specific time frame, so I can remember to get things done!
  20. [R116] Structured 5/5 · US Perfect!!! 😊: I’ve tried various apps for time management, tasks and scheduling and have been dissatisfied with all of them. This one is simple to use, accomplishes exactly what I need and has a great interface. I also love the energy leveling. It’s a fantastic idea where you can better analyze the mental load of your daily workload! It’s super neat that it can also integrate into other apps such
  21. [R64] Structured 2/5 · US Free version too limited: Can only add 3 events per day with the free version. Want you to pay $30/year. No way to hide the AI button in the middle of the screen that you need to pay for.
  22. [R76] Structured 1/5 · US You can do better: As a Person with severe ADHD, I think this app is not giving me the opportunity to be organized. Without the Structured Pro plan, I can’t repeat some of the tasks that I need to do on a daily basis. To be honest, I do not have the money and patience for having to pay for this pro to only get 2 things unlocked. I know you guys got an Apple Award but the only award I would be givi
  23. [R97] Structured 2/5 · US Not rich: Not paying for pro just so I can repeat a task 🫩
  24. [R115] Structured 2/5 · US Decent, but barebones: The features that present in the unpaid use of the app are even less extensive than built-in apps for the calendar and your reminders in iOS. Literally the calendar app doesn’t charge you for the basic utilities that this app tries to present as premium and not baseline normal functioning of a digital planner of any kind. Example: you cannot set a recurring reminder. Unless
  25. [R56] Calendar · Planner & Reminders 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
