  • Subscription Only

    Quite clearly states on App Store that you can get a premium upgrade for £1.99, however when I opened the app, it won’t let me do anything unless I sign up to a subscription, albeit with a 7 day free trial. Very misleading.

    Developer Response

    Hello, Thanks for your interest in Looking FWD! When the app launched in 2017 it included an in-app purchase of £1.99 to unlock all of the features. At the end of 2021, I redesigned the app and it moved to subscription only. This is explained in the App Store description where it states the app requires a subscription. I’m sorry if you didn’t find that clear and it saddens me that you’ve felt misled. If I understand correctly, you saw a reference to the original upgrade in the list of products that you can expand in the detailed product information section on the App Store. I don’t directly control that but I’ll try to have it removed from there. If you do decide to trial the app, I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Kind regards, John
  • Brilliant!

    £1.99 isn’t a lot to ask for upgrading. It’s certainly handy to have and I have this on my iPhone/iPad so well worth having and 5 stars. Thank you
  • I came back

    I have been using this app for a year and love it more and more with each use. I recently decided to explore some other apps and came back to Looking FWD because none offered all of the features that I have come to love.

    1. Offers repeating events
    2. Uses emoji as event icons
    3. Syncs with iCloud

    Repeating events are a requirement if you want to be reminded about birthdays and anniversaries. What I like about Looking FWD — and could not find in any other app — is that it also calculates the number of the birthday or anniversary and shows it in the event list. Hence, you can not only see how many days to someone’s upcoming birthday, but you can also see how old they will be. I LOVE this.

    Using emoji for event icons turns out to be incredibly flexible. I looked at other apps that only offered a built-in icon set and found them limiting compared to the world of detail and options available through the emoji character set.

    Finally, It was not clear from inside the app that it syncs with iCloud (which is what sent me in search of other apps). When I discovered that the sync is automatic, I am back to stay.
