We NEED an Attachment Option!

This calendar is the only calendar I use. I’ve tried going to others and maybe it’s because I’m just so used to this one, but I can never really commit to any others besides this one. Granted, I am an Apple person through and through (all my devices) so I really don’t need to use another calendar app, BUT! …..this app really, really, REALLY needs to add an attachment feature. Being able to attach videos, photos, PDFs, Notes, etc to a specific event would be the biggest help not only in terms of work related things, but in terms of family related things.

I also understand that there’s already a Reminders app, but if I could use the calendar app for everything from scheduling events and appointments to reminders and task lists, it would streamline my life so much (and I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be helpful to so many others). So add an attachment feature (for multiple different attachments), the ability to schedule and view reminders, add a task lists feature with the ability to check off what’s been completed, and this app would be 5 stars all the way!

4 simple things I want to see

1. Week view in portrait… if fantastical can do it Apple would easily pull this off
2. Option to select which reminder lists show in the calendar. I do not want my scheduled morning/night reminders cluttering every day in my calendar
3. Openings and proposals… again based on how fantastical does it I think Apple could pull this off way better and I think the user interface would skyrocket for Apple Calendar.
4. Ability to change colours of single events. Say I didn’t go to work one day… I want to change the colour to a light great to signify that event was cancelled… why can’t I?
I love Apple Calendar but I think it would be utterly elite at this point if it had just these extra little 4 things😁
P.S. Apple please add a reviews draft in the App Store (unless you already have one?) because I just lost the last review that I was typing so I’m being straight to the point with this one now ahahahah

Things i really want from my calendar, please

Love the app but these are the things I would love to be added to the calendar. When it is in detailed display for the month, it to be expanded so i can see all the appointments rather than the first three then + how ever many. In each day have a to do’s section for all the things that are not time specific. And when the day is opened to open at the time we are at and the future not the middle of the night, also be able to shrink it so i can see the whole day 7am to 7pm in one frame. Please consider these in the next upgrade. Thanks

Can’t remove holidays

Please allow us to remove holidays so we don’t have dots on days that have nothing to do with our schedule

A cluttered mess

I love Apple and think they do most things with thought and consideration for purpose. I was one of the people disappointed in Apple for not giving us a unified Calendar and Reminders app. But Apple seems to have looked for the worst possible way to accomplish this. It is impossible to believe that the programers have any idea how people use these apps. I like reviewing my Calendar in month view unless I choose to focus on a day or week. All I need from Apple is the ability to see my daily calender events as I’m scheduling my daily to-dos. But now it looks like a Fanastical app wanabe. Just clutter, clutter, clutter. And because I and most people have more tasks than appointments I schedule my tasks around the appointments.

I plan most of my life in reminders and therefore have a lot of Reminders. The result is a huge cluttered mess in these little squares crammed full of stuff so condensed it’s unusable. Apple please follow the examples of so many other apps that do this in a logical and orderly way to create a useable feature. Very lazy Apple.

Not normal

(IOS 18.0.)Are you guys running a contest for most non-intuitive ways to add an event to a calendar, or what? Little boxes, guys! We just need a little box with numbers for the day, a little box with names of the months, a little box with the years. Do not link the month to the current day’s date in a single field & then have us tap around the screen till a-ha how clever we finally revealed the interface that lets us edit the actual date of the event. Have you hired a bunch of game developers by accident? We don’t want to solve UI mysteries. We want obvious, efficient & FAST in a calendar. Oh, & what the other reviewer said about not auto-filling new events with OUTDATED event details? ALL OF THAT!!! C’mon, this shouldn’t be hard. Obvious, efficient, fast & accurate are UI best practices in a calendar.

Some serious oversights

Generally, this app is good for keeping track of events and schedules. However, there are a few missing or flawed features that seem obvious. - Firstly, you can’t set a custom travel time. You can only choose from 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 1.5 hr, or 2 hr, or could have a time based on map info for your starting location. This is an obvious problem, as travel times have a lot more variation than that, and I’ve had problems with the “Starting Location” feature. Why not give us 45 min? Or 3 hr? Or literally just let us set the time ourselves??? - Secondly, there is no way to set an event that repeats on the same day of the week per month (eg. second Saturday of each month). Considering many events are scheduled like this, it seems like a huge oversight. - And lastly, the timing for alerts has a similar issue as travel times, where we can’t just set a time ourselves and instead have to choose from a very restrictive list of options. I don’t know how hard it could be to just let us set our own time?? The app works fine overall, but I’ve had to do some annoying workarounds to get me alerted and leaving on time, and have had to individually set monthly events. These just seem like obvious problems that shouldn’t have gone unfixed by now.

Not syncing

Have tried everything I read online about how to sync my calendar between devices…..still not syncing.

Time Zones are Totally Fouled Up

Every time the time changes or I get on a plane Calendar changes the times of my appointments. They are always sending me to the dentist an hour early or late because daylight savings has kicked in or out. If I enter 9:30 as the appointment time it should always show 9:30. Any time a computer changes the time I have entered it is making it wrong. Even if I am currently on the other side of the planet my appointment is still 9:30. Additionally, the start and stop times for an event should be able to be set to different time zones. For example when you are flying. (The whole point of flying is to go somewhere else.) I shouldn’t have to calculate my arrival time in my departure time zone to enter it and I certainly don’t want to see my arrival time in my departure time zone. You should be able to set time zones like CST or CDT rather than have to figure out what city is in the same time zone. If it’s going to insist on doing it for you it should be smart enough to know that a time in November is going to be standard time not daylight time. I am just really tired of Calendar sending me to the dentist an hour late or early.

Add (expenses) cash flow diary please

I like this app and use it everyday to plan and remind me things. I have a suggestion to add a feature into this app please. I would like to request to include a cash flow diary feature into this Calendar. Like appointments, where we can add details (date, time frame, alert, repeat etc), is it possible to include daily expenses/income by adding expense details, receipts scans (mpeg,pdf etc). Which should be able to calculate expenses/income for specific time frame. It will help to keep track of income/expenses on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

Also sort out the weekly and monthly view please for 5️⃣⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
