Leave a Review Proton Calendar
Crashing on iOS
I downloaded this calendar to use together with Proton Mail and ProtonDrive, and it was working pretty well for the last week or so. I also downloaded Proton VPN and started using it today. I don’t know if the VPN is impacting ProtonCalendar or not, but the calendar only stays open now for a couple seconds and then it abruptly closes. I rebooted my phone, but it did not help. This seems to be occurring whether the VPN is connected or disconnected. I don’t want to go back to Google, but I need a calendar on my phone. Hope you can get it fixed ASAP!Show lessChristysCorner42

We are sorry to hear about the issue you've experienced. If you haven't already, please report this to us at https://proton.me/support/contact so we can investigate. In the meantime, please try performing a full reset of the Proton Calendar app in your iOS Settings → Proton Calendar to see if that helps. Note that this will log you out of the app.I wish Collaboration worked within the App
Not being able to invite others for appointments/meetings is a basic feature for calendar apps.
The app looks beautiful. I just wish that worked. Add that feature and the rating would be higher for me, frankly. Going to a browser as a work-around defeats the purpose of downloading the app in the first place.
I wish I could rate it higher but I cannot until this issue has been addressed. The app has been out for 7 months and as a base feature still missing it makes the app feel abandoned. Thank you!Show lessClutch-Strife

Thank you for your feedback and review. Our team is working on adding the option to invite participants to the Proton Calendar iOS app. We have many improvements planned for the Proton Calendar iOS app. Stay tuned for updates!Promising
Performs the basics with reminders, good visualization, location, and making it recurring. Missing the ability to share a calendar currently, which is currently being worked on. This is a core function of a calendar though, and should integrate better with their email services, even if these functions are restricted to other working Proton users. I hate to rate something down for a service it openly declares is not currently implemented, this is pretty central to a calendar app and is currently keeping me from fully migrating to Proton Calendar. The app also needs additional security found on Proton Mail and Proton Drive where it allows for the use of a password/pin and/or biometric on startup. Looking forward to the updates, and of course I will update my review when things change.
edit: Thank you for the reply! I did not see sharing was an option since I primarily use the app on iOS. I will try it out from the PC see if I can share and then still update and use it from iOS. Not ideal, but at least a work around.Show lessHaVoK-O7

Thank you for your feedback and review! Auto lock for the app as well as the option to edit shared calendars are features we hope to add to the app in the future. Note that sharing calendars collaboratively between Proton users is already possible in the Proton Calendar web client and Android app: https://proton.me/support/share-calendar-with-proton-users.Making progress
Proton calendar has come a long way, especially the desktop/web version with sharing capability, displays, etc. It seems that that’s where most of the development has gone recently so the app has been lagging. Pretty simple interface, minimal settings and no widgets. Love the privacy, encryption/security and no linked data by Proton. Hoping some more features come on line for the app such as calendar sharing, widgets and calendar editing like we can do on the website. Thx ProtonShow less73Flyer

Thank you for your feedback and review. We have many improvements planned for the Proton Calendar iOS app, among which are widgets. You can read more about our plans for Proton Calendar here: https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-calendar-roadmap. Stay tuned for updates!Getting Better
I’ve been a paid Proton user for many years and have been anxiously awaiting a calendar so I can fully break the Google shackles.
The user interface is still pretty clunky. Adding an event should be a few clicks and done; including a click-and-drag-on-the-time-block event creation, quick and easy time entry, etc. These feature are lacking. I’ve been using Calendar5 forever and they have perfected the process, so I guess I’m spoiled.
The number one feature still missing is the ability for me to share a calendar with my wife and allow her 100% edit/delete/add capability. The web app allows this, but the app doesn’t seem to.Show lessTrylynx

Thank you for your feedback and review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We will pass it on to the appropriate team internally to help them consider and prioritize future improvements for Proton Calendar. We are working to add plenty of new features to the Proton Calendar app, which you can read about on our blog: https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-calendar-roadmap. Stay tuned for updates!Pretty good, couple suggestions
The ability to click and drag to change the time of the event (like click the center and you can move it), and also the ability to extend or reduce the time of the event by clicking and dragging on either the top or bottom of the event. That would be amazing. The iPhone’s default calendar app, how you can click and drag, that’s what I would love to be in this app. Would make changing events significantly easier.
Also, if possible, it would be amazing to have dark mode available outside of what my system’s mode is. So if my phone is in light mode, I’d like to be able to still have Proton Calendar in dark mode. I always just go and switch to dark mode on my phone’s settings, which can be a tiny bit annoying.
ETA: and a widget would also be greatly appreciated. Personally, I view my calendar throughout the day via a widget on my Home Screen.
To summarize:
- Click & drag calendar events to extend/reduce time, or change time
- Dark mode (outside of system dark mode)
- Widgets (or just one widget) that displays the calendar (like maybe the day)Show lessClobobster

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! widgets are already part of our roadmap for Proton Calendar, which you can read more about on our blog here: https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-calendar-roadmap. We will also forward your requests for drag-and-drop functionality and a dedicated dark mode setting to the product team to help them consider and prioritize future improvements for the app.Needs speed and tap feature
I was excited when proton finally released this iOS app for the Calendar product. Overall, Proton Calendar is a good calendar application. I love using it on my laptop browser, but the iOS app still needs work.
It is very very slow in creating events. Whenever I am finished putting in all the info, I have to wait there for another 20 seconds for it save and close the page. Waiting to do that is a big hindrance. It is not yet seamless in allowing me move onto the next thing.
Also, a really handy feature would be tapping on the block of time in the day to create an event. Right now you have to click the plus sign, and then enter in all of the info. This makes using the app on the phone for my calendaring undesirable. I am considering switching back to google or Apple’s iCloud calendar.Show lessSymBoom

Thank you for your feedback and review. We are sorry to hear that you experienced slowness with the app. We would be happy to investigate this behavior, so please report it to us at https://proton.me/support/contact. We will also forward your feature suggestions to the product team so they can consider and prioritize future improvements for the app.Scrolling and scrolling
What’s with having scroll, scroll, scroll through months, days, years when you want to reschedule something instead of bringing up an actual calendar so you can choose the date you need to move it to? I have to back out of the edit, look at the monthly calendar to pick the new date, then go back to edit and scroll forever to move it to that new date.Show lessDontWasteMyTimeWithANickname

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We will forward your request for a search/jump-to-date feature to the product team to help them prioritize future improvements for the app. We intend on adding a lot more features to the Proton Calendar app so stay tuned for updates!Sorely lacking but so much potential
I love the sleekness of the app but it has very little to offer. The settings and options are basically that there are none in the app compared to the website version. Being able to control those in the app would be a massive improvement.
I would also like to see a search feature to find content more easily.
Another thing that would increase the app’s productivity potential is an agenda view that shows all upcoming events similar to Apple Lists. Recurring events show the next in line. This is extremely useful for managing financial dates/tasks. Maybe make an option to set tasks that can be checked off. But at least an agenda view that show more than one day. Lists has been really great that way and I would love to replace it with this.
Fix those and this app will be as amazing as Proton Mail has been.Show lessArkamas Ross

I’ve had Proton VPN and Mail for a couple years. I added the Calendar in 2022. The VPN stays connected, however I’m finding more and more sites will not open while connected. Most of the time I just move on.
I rarely use the email, because it’s always full of spam. There needs be a way to set up filters so that I can have spam deleted without ever making it into the mail box. Yes, there is a built in spam detector that places everything into a spam folder, but I don’t want to go through 100 emails to figure out what’s spam and not. As of now I’m using a 23 year old POP mail account that allows me to mark sender as spam then set a rule as what to do with it. The down side to the POP mail is I can’t send mail from it with VPN connected. I’ve contacted Proton about the issue, but it’s never been resolved. I would like to get away from POP mail all together, but waiting for better controls with Proton Mail.
As for the calendar… Way too basic! Not a true version for iPad. So for now I’m stuck with big tech…
Even with the issues I just renewed my subscription in hopes of big updates over the next your….Show lessCourt's Dad
