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

   Ruined by an update. Latest update made the app borderline unusable. All birthdays and other tags are hidden and the only way to view them is to go to a different menu and check incomplete events? I’m so sad, this was my favourite calendar app but now I need a new one.

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

   Crashes and you lose everything. Worked great for about six months then started crashing. Backed up to iCloud but lost all those memories when I tried to reboot. Don’t waste your time with this app.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   No clear way to contact support. 12/2025 still no update to fix any of this, incredibly disappointed i spent money on this. Would love to update my review, but I’ve been trying to find out a support contact for way too long. If I don’t receive a reply through this being seen or my report to apple, I will be requesting a refund and deleting the app I paid for this to be able to use my stylus for unlimited markings, but now the writing is off center of the stylus making it almost impossible to keep track of what I’m writing, as well as making an uncomfortable flashing with each tap of the stylus as the writing jumps around. I was already disappointed that the premium app doesn’t feel like it adds anything special, just unlocks the ugly backgrounds and features that should have been free to begin with but this makes it literally unusable for me and a disappointing waste of money

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Doesn’t actually cloud sync?. I paid for this to use the sync, and it just… doesn’t. Also, if you draw on the calendar, then add anything and the blocks stretch… the drawings are weird. They also don’t always update? The app has some issues… it isn’t worth the price for the issues it has.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Adorable but no longer works. I used this for a few years, paid for the premium version, I absolutely love it and haven’t found anything else that gives all the features and customization this did- but it hasn’t been openable for months now. Just sits on the opening screen for a second and then crashes, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to report this issue.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Bug needs fixed. Right now I give it a one star because the iCloud sink is not syncing between devices, which is the whole reason I paid for the VIP subscription. If this issue can be resolved, I would gladly change it to a five star.

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Very buggy. Images added on iPad don’t show up on iPhone and vice versa. Apple Pencil also doesn’t work! Waste of money!

8. ★★★★★saving, exporting or sharing the result fails

   This is a SCAM, everything is VIP. Everything is VIP here, you cannot use any feature without money. Don’t download.

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

   Drawing doesn’t work.. App is cute, there’s enough features with the free version but I cannot write or type anything onto the journal. I can’t do anything more than customize the year and calendar design.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Writing on your journal costs money ???. I knew that some of the things in the app were going to be paywalled but I didn’t realize that literally WRITING with your Apple Pencil on the journal would require a VIP subscription. Like literally the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard 😭😭😭

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Great than bad. First off this app was amazing! I was tracking my sleep, moods, todo lists, photos of each day every day since January 1, 2024. Then everything got deleted a few days ago. I reached out to them a few days ago and have received no response. Before the Complete Delete, it worked fine besides at times not allowing me to order to dos , or repeating to dos that I hadn’t set up to repeat, it was no problem, I’d just redo it the next day. But now I’m not happy about it deleting all my data from before. And I am using the paid version. Great app, if you don’t mind losing data and all your lists of things you need to do. I really hope they fix it because I really liked the app and was super impressed with it. But not impressed about the deleting of everything. I think part of the reason I keep a calendar and journal is so that I can go back and analyze the data. Bummer.

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

    App does not work. I can’t open the app . It takes me out every time I try to enter the app. I hope you can fix.

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

    Doesn’t work anymore. Whenever I open the app it says database upgrading or something. It’s been like that for a while now.

14. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Great app if it would function as promised. The sync is not working, i keep getting an error message. I select a habit and when i come back to the app the habit is no longer checked off. I really wish they can fix these issues and i will review it again.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Membership. You cant do anything unless you pay

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

    Can’t rearrange tasks, or have events with no end date. There should be feature to let you move up an earlier/more important task. Events without an end time should be a given.

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

    Needs work. After a few days of using this app I decided to buy it based on the list of features promised. I cannot figure out how to add more sections, the main motivation for my purchase. At one point I somehow modified the To Do section title, which wiped out all my data! Also struggled with the Habits functionality, could not delete the habits section from the daily view on some (but not all) days. All I could do was toggle that I completed the habit, or didn’t. Ended up deleting the app and reinstalling. Hopefully the developer will work on these issues because there is a lot to like about this app. Update: been using this app for awhile now and really liking it. Today, for no apparent reason, the To Do section has disappeared from the Daily Log. I can see dots indicating specific days have entries (tasks, appointments, notes) but when I tap to see a specific day, it’s blank. All my history and future info is not displaying. However, I can see it in the monthly view. Time for a paper journal.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    i feel scammed. i paid for the premium version of the app and not only did the app not work properly, but there were no changes whatsoever after i paid to get access to other portions of the app.

19. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Bought for the whole year stop working. It stopped working all of a sudden on my iPad. It won’t go back to my monthly. I purchased the whole year. What a waste of money.

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

    Great idea but many technical issues. This is so cute and everthing I was looking for. I even purchased the full version. But I realize things don’t always work as they should. Random bullets in my planner would disappear suddenly. If you make edits they might also disappear. Other features also don’t work perfectly. I would update to 5 stars once they make these fixes

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Please allow Sync and Use on Macbook!. I have lifetime on my iPhone app yet can’t sync my the app on my Mac to it. Keeps wanting to make pay for a subscription and I already subscribe. Please fix.

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

    too much. it is cute but it’s just overwhelming, and not everything is free

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cute but glitches….. It’s a cute and easy to use app but the glitches are annoying… especially when you pay for premium. The writings disappear when trying to write on the calender. And the filters don’t work for the photos.. I wish I would’ve spent my money elsewhere. Would not recommend this app. Go on YouTube and find better ones

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

    Issues. I want to love this app—I bought the full version, it’s exactly what I was looking for—but there are quite a few glitches that keep me from being able to recommend it to others. 1) The photo editor/importer has been glitched since I bought it. I can’t remove backgrounds, use the filters, etc. The menu box just won’t scroll down. Which is very lame because Apple doesn’t support pngs, so it’s nearly impossible to make my own backgroundless “stickers” to decorate my calendar. This problem could be somewhat averted if the program allowed you to use custom stickers from your device, but it doesn’t. 2) It doesn’t keep images from vertical to horizontal mode. You might as well be using two different calendars. That’s not a deal breaker for me, but it is odd. Now on to features this app needs to be truly great: 1) There is no way to move an image up or down a “layer”. They stay in the order they’re imported in, which is very annoying if this is a calendar you’re tinkering with throughout the week. 2) Just slightly better custom drawing tools would be very nice. The default Apple Pencil tools are pretty bare bones. Also, the ability to make a text box and place it anywhere, like a picture, would be appreciated. Not a deal breaker, but it would be useful. I want to love this app and recommend it to more people, so I hope the devs at least get the glitches worked out.

25. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    2 stars. This app was good for the most part with its perks like having a good way of jotting down thoughts and a fun app with bright, pastel colors. On the other hand, there is just to much. To many things to plan. It’s like writing a 10 page essay with pages to fill out on the back. I said I wanted to go to bed at 9:25 PM and wake up at 5:30 AM and it said I would get 20 hours of sleep and 5 minutes of sleep. So false information and too much loaded onto one app. try a different app like DailyBean!

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

    Adorable but glitchy. Cutest app I’ve seen in a long time, the features are great. But I tried to edit a recurring event and it deleted everything I had filled out for that month. Also it would be even better if it could sync with my phone calendar.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Love the app. Have been using it for about 3 weeks now. It is everything that I have been looking for in an app. Has been working great until this last update about 6 days ago. It is not syncing with iCloud. This needs to be fix asap!! Update: as of 4-11-2024 the app is still not syncing between iCloud to reach other devices. Every time I open the app on my iMac, it crashes when I try to turn on the sync feature. This really needs to be fixed. It’s poor service when you get paid for the full use of your app & things stop working.

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

    cute but bugs. it’s a cute app. wanted to get into planning and what not but the app won’t let me add tasks so I can’t do much. even purchased the vip but I kinda just want my money back. unfortunate because this app seemed like nice app.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bought Premium and now crashing.. I gave to two stars for the one time purchase fee. I love that and how cute it is in design. However, I bought premium like 20 minutes ago it is now crashing every time I enter the habit section. I cannot figure out how to delete a habit. Can someone reach out to me or I would like a refund. It literally was working fine on the basic version. Now with a habit section it is crashing every time I open it. I have the newest iPhone too.

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

    Not bad. It’s alr but I don’t like o buy
