  • Just what I need

    1) it’s quick, launches fast. Other calendar app I used use to take a few seconds to come up, it got annoying. 2) displays a month view nicely with text vs a bubble that you have to click on the day to find out what the appointment is. 3) I like how you can set multiple alerts from one pull-down, and it remembers your last choice. I like to set a reminder alert 1 wk and one day before the appointment. 4) simple and intuitive. Not cluttered with lots of functions you never use.

  • Easy to use, miles better than Apple calendar

    I'm always kind of shocked by how bad the native Apple calendar is (and that I haven't noticed any improvements to it since my first iPhone) so SimpleCal has been a life saver. It's very easy to see items from multiple personal/work/family calendars, easy to switch between those calendars when adding a scheduled item, and anything I add on SimpleCal posts to the Apple calendar, so I get reminders on my MacBook without Abby additional effort on my part. It would be fun to be able to configure calendar background pictures or themes, but honestly, this does everything it needs to do, and does it well.

  • Simple calendar

    I normally don’t do reviews unless they’re very good. If they’re extremely bad, I don’t do those. I think that many people like to voice a bad experience so as to have a forum to complain. Anyway, I am doing this review because this ‘simple calendar’ is one of the most useful tools that I have on my iPhone for reminders and for reference. Don’t change it, it is the best that I have seen and I do not understand why Apple does not incorporate this into their phone. Keep up the good work!

  • Don’t know how I lived without it!

    SimpleCal is great! When I first started using it, I color coded the entries according to what type of appointments I entered because only I was using it. When I had to start keeping track of a family member’s appointments, I made all my appointments one color and all their appointments another. Birthdays have another. Financial/legal have another… you get the drift. I check it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It’s a lifesaver if you have any kind of memory or attention deficit. Five stars and more!!! UPDATE— The more time goes by, I don’t know how I did without this app! I’m an adult with adhd (inattentive), and have great difficulty keeping track of time. With SimpleCal for major calendar day items and a to-do list app, plus my phone alarms, I’m able to manage my life. Five more stars!
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    UPDATE— The first and last app that I check every day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Love this app

    I love the simplicity of this calendar app. It’s easy to see at a glance what I have scheduled when I am making other appointments, since I can see the day and brief description of the event for an entire month at a time. and I love that it syncs with my iPhone default Calendar so I can glance at the current day quickly in my widgets function. One small improvement is that I do think it would be cool if the daily tasks stayed highlighted in my notifications that show up on my Lock Screen for the entire day unless I clear them. They currently only highlight until I unlock my phone for the first time, and a little longer would be nice 😊 otherwise the app is more than awesome!

  • Continuous scroll and zoom options needed!

    I love this app! I love the colors and different options on what to display. To others looking at my calendar, it seems busy, but to me it’s perfect! I wish there was a continuous scroll option from month to month (vertical continuous scroll and horizontal non-continuous) and a zoom-out option so I could see months together at a glance and even years. Also would like a login feature to save stuff! Otherwise amazing app! Keeps improving! Thank you!

  • Colors

    I would like to see more variety of colors available to use in the calendar. I use a certain one for doctor appointments, another one for work schedule, one for Finn activities, one for errands, one for church stuff, etc. I would love to see a pet pink that stands out better than the pet light one but not the bright pink colors you have. A normal pink. I like the silver but it's too light and gold would be best to add and a copper one or copper orange rust type. Spring fall summer winter colors just as long as they are dark enough to stand out. I don't use dark mode. Thank you! I love this calendar!! I want to see all our holidays, but only once, love the win numbers, would like to see how many days we are in the year and how many we have to go. May be fun to add funny holidays for every day. Have a great day!
