Trying it out, and love it
I just think there’s a few things missing here and there but overall has a lot that has me sticking around for now with the free version. I’m not much of a planner. I do however have an iPad I’d like to use this on that I can’t. I feel like that’s a big part of this for accessibility for planning having it on a bigger screen like an iPad. Other connects would be nice not to rely on google calendar. Maybe I’m new but I wish it was easier to make events on mobile . I often have to make a task then make it an event.

Love it but would make a few changes/add
I love the app and how it’s designed and runs. I do have a problem with not being able to change the color of events connected to one particular email. Once that it fixed that will bump it up a star.
So on to the changes or add. One is how to add custom alert for events. It’s so annoying to do it on the iPhone. It takes me way to long to make an a 1 day before event alert than it should. The wheel or whatever you want to call it is just bad in my opinion. Nice that it’s there but there are better ways to do it.
I would also have the ability to use it in landscape mode. Sometimes I just like to use it in that mode.
I know the repeat event is coming soon to iPhone app but it’s still not here and that’s a big usage for me and probably many others. So I would get that done asap.
One last thing I would add is the ability to add travel time to an event. I like to know how long it usually takes me to get to an event so I know when I should leave. Also it lets me know when I should be ending other events and when not to make events so I’m not late for the event.
Add/make all of these changes and have my one email work like it supposed to and this app will be a 5/5 for me.

Needs monthly view
Design and fluidity of the app are great, albeit the colouring is a bit too fruity (would be nice to be able to change to a bit of a more subtle colour version).
I tried to change over to this calendar and was keen, but without a monthly view I had to delete it.

The app is quite new
So its fair to give it some time to develop. Initially I like it. Please fix the todoist integration it doesn’t sync the data in real time. In fact it takes forever and I still can’t see any new todos beside what was pulled initially
I think there should be an iPad version
This app is great but The biggest issue is the lack of an iPad app.
I don’t know, just blah
As other reviews have kind of said, it’s eh. Great concept but I think the execution is bad and it still feels in better. I also don’t agree or like their focus for the upcoming roadmap so I’m not really using it anymore. It’s a really expensive app and they don’t provide all these great pro additional features (really just email client, if you can even call it that). I’ll stick with fantastical instead for now, much cheaper and is much more polished.

Response from developer
thank you so much for the feedback, hoping you'll give us another chance then 🤗
No monthly view
Cannot be taken seriously as an option until a monthly view is added
Needs some key features
First, it’s a good app! The free version (for now) is quite generous and is helpful for evaluating the tool. Bonus points for being the only calendar tool I’m aware of to feature two-way sync with Things 3. That is the feature that got me to consider testing out the app.
While I love the direction it’s going, here are some key features the Amie team should prioritize:
Improving Things 3 syncing. If I complete an event from the Things app, it disappears from the calendar if I’ve scheduled the task for a time. Also, it doesn’t mark the task as complete in Amie. Something is off with the 2-way syncing, but I’m confident the devs can fix that.
Support natural language processing. This is probably the #1 thing the team should focus on. Many of us potential Amie users are calendar power users coming from other calendar apps, of which most have natural language processing. I was actually quite surprised Amie doesn’t have this feature yet, but it’s an important one.
Creating an iPad version of the app. I know it’s most likely somewhere on the roadmap, but calendar power users are using their calendars on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Every great calendar app has a version for all these platforms, so Amie shouldn’t be any different.
I hope the devs and Amie team find this feedback helpful! Great start to a solid calendar, but let’s make it the best calendar app out there!

Beautiful, fun, useful day planner
I’ve tried almost all the current day planners that are good for personal use (as opposed to ones geared for teams) and I really love Amie. Good integrations, fun details, enjoyable UI on both desktop/web and mobile(they clearly took a lesson from Things). They kind of thought of everything. Really needs repeating tasks asap though, and an iPad version. Everything is fast and fluid. Room to improve sure but so far so good.

Great but with early bugs
Been part of my daily productivity app and i have been loving it so far. A lot of bugs but that is expected… please release an iPad app - seems like it should be do-able since this feels like a web app wrapper… so that i can completely rely on Amie throughout all my devices.
