   Very confusing now. Boo

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Task - big fail. Unfinished task carryover to the next day however, when you mark it as complete it revert back to the original day so you have no idea when you actually completed the task. This is a basic function that most all other calendar apps have correctly. It should be on the calendar on the day completed. Also wish they would add “Link Contacts” this would be great to reach out to contacts you have appointments with.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Numbers. Whenever I enter a number or a date and then try to save it everything disappears. Like tonight I wrote a reminder to call our ac company for 6/26 the numbers disappear. I tried writing it 3 different ways and ways and wa h time the numbers disappear. Why

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Crashes all the time, what is going on?. Latest iOS 26, iPhone Air, Microsoft corp account. It crashes when creating certain events and then it crashes all the time. Can't do anything with the app anymore. In the past I fix this by quickly deleting the event but now I cannot do it. It is just infinitely crashing. I hope your analytics can capture this.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Too expensive. I’ve always loved this application but as a individual non business user this is a hefty price to pay monthly subscription for in this tough economy I need more value to justify the spend

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Great to Now Trash Ad-Spam. Used to be a great app on free and paid tier. Great UI/UX…beyond aggressive and intrusive promos to upgrade to premium now every time you use it or add any single appointment. Just use Apple or Google Calendar instead.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Annoying request. Constantly asking you to upgrade to the monthly/yearly plan. Does not give an option to stop asking this. So annoying.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   It’s unusable now. I’ve been using this app for ten years. I loved so many things about it-especially alerts for travel time. At some point there was an update where almost all events are automatically put in as proposed. So they aren’t really confirmed until you hit confirm. It’s super irritating and some our meetings have just disappeared off the calendar. My assistant has gone back to iCal and now I’m searching for a new calendar app. When are developers going to realize that you don’t need to mess with the simplest and most straightforward things? We just want to input an event. It’s not that deep. There should be a setting to turn this off.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Nickle and dime. I paid way too much for this app when I first bought it for it to keep asking me for more and more money to keep access to features. If you’re going to sell the app at a premium price don’t lock features behind a subscription paywall for your paying customers.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Alerts. Makes it’s own alerts. You can turn them off and it will automatically turn them back on.

11. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Good, but very buggy and annoying.. If you put time of event in the title OR a mention of recurrence, it automatically sets that up for you. BUT it deletes it from the title! Very frustrating and time consuming. ALSO, if you do not specify time of event in the title, it makes it an all-day event. Best part: it sometimes decides to put your event on a different date. Trying to add (twice) on Feb 20, 2024: 3pm second nap. It adds it to 3pm on March 2nd. Why??? Even more annoying, I had a personal LOUD sound assigned to event alerts and suddenly, a couple of days ago, the app reverted to some LOW, apparently default alert sound (the only free one and all the others are $$$, with no place to choose my personal alert sound from my sounds library). I’ve never hear this default alert sound before and I still have my own alert sound set in iOS calendar alert settings. Tech support denies that this can happen and has no explanation for why I now get 5 default alert sounds for an event. They remain silent after denying it is happening. 6-30-24: it still decides on its own (not today for some reason) which date to put a new event. 2-3-2025: it deletes half of the event title I typed

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    한글 검색도 안되네요. 한달에 7달러 짜리 일정 관리앱이 검색도 안되다니…

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not able to uninstall. Don’t download, I’ve still not been able to completely remote the app.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Lame. Pay pay pay sucks

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Terrible. So they switched to a subscription model because “development” costs money and it's basically the same app since then. Greed always wins.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    To busy trying to milk the customers. This could be a great app but you are required to pay for a separate subscription for each device you use. I will be canceling when my yearly subscription is up.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don't Bother. Look elsewhere. Notifications NEVER work for this app making it completely unreliable and essentially useless for the purpose it serves.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t Sync Calendars Anymore. App no longer fetches google calendar information. Have to open stock calendar app then Fantastical for any updates or additions. Worthless.

19. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    Crashing. Most recent update broke the app

20. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    What happened???. Got the update and all my calendar data is gone. Chelsea, NY? Where did that come from?

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Fix Widgets. Widgets seem to break on every update. Amazing calendar app but frustrating at times.

22. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Terrible App. This app is the most abysmal app I have ever used in my life. It constantly makes you resign in every month which is an hourlong process minimum. It is slow and lacking compared to any other calendar app on the planet. Overall, wouldn’t wish this garbage on my worst enemy.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Too many upsells. It’s a decent app that does the basics of email and calendar just fine. However, there are times that I open the app to only get a pop up window trying to upsell some service. This is good for the company but annoying for a busy person. I think I paid $2 for it some years ago.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t understand the hype. At first, it refused to see my google calendars after signing in with google and approving. Uninstalled and reinstalled, then it asked about the account, but refused to actually open without creating an online account. Never even got to the functionality. This thing is trashware.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t work after upgrade to iOS 26.1. Doesn’t work after upgrade to iOS 26.1

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Cant delete!!!!. Won’t delete don’t use!!!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Gone downhill in last few years. Is much buggier than it used to be. All the upsells in it are annoying. Would be fine if it synced properly like before.

28. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Watch Complications Not Working. I have tried everything from resetting my watch to resetting my phone and every time nothing shows up on Up Next or Your Schedule on my watch despite actually having events that day.

29. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    No Trial Period. It says 14 day trial period, I was charged right away and there’s no way to get a refund. I didn’t even try to use the app, just deleted it. Beware before downloading!!

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Widgets no longer available on iPadOS 18. Title says it all. Would you are no longer available on iPadOS 18 after the latest upgrade
