  • A lot to learn

    So far I like it very much. I’ll update after using it a while. It’s very complex but the explanations seem clear. Ok here’s a problem: to write a review you’re supposed to tap a start to give an idea how much you like the app - IT DOES NOT WORK. Said I would update. Still no stars to rate, I’d go down to 2 now. The description of how to do things makes sense but when you go to do it - it is a mess. It took me an half hour to put in an appointment. And it now shows 3 times. Put things in simple language. I was hoping for better
    I can’t make anything work like the instructions describe. You make a mistake and don’t we all, I cannot find any way to delete it. The part on editing does not include deleting a mistake and I’m about to just give up
  • The calendar app I’ve been looking for!

    I’ve tried so many different calendars apps and this one is the winner! Even without paying for Pro, it does everything I need it to, syncs to multiple different calendars and allows me to create events within different calendars (shared and non shared), and it has a simple interface that is easy to navigate.

    I did end up paying for Pro, which in my opinion is very worth it and I love that it’s a one time purchase. I enjoy customization like font and colors, so that’s the main reason I did it but it’s not necessary if you’re looking for basic features.

    If you’re frustrated with Apple Calendar.. download this asap!!!
  • The best calendar app 🗓️

    I was searching for a calendar app, I downloaded more than 5 apps and this is absolutely the best in everything.

    I wish they add countdowns somewhere either in the widgets or in the calendar itself when we click on an event it shows how many days remaining. It shows the event on the widget buy limited to one month and it shows the date only not the remaining days.

    Overall, the app is very good and I recommend using it.
  • No subscription needed!!

    FINALLY! An efficient, well made, a simple calendar app that does not require a monthly subscription to use all the perks.

    Minical does have a one-time purchase to remove ads and add some customization features, but the cost for it is about what a month’s subscription costs for most other calendar apps.

    As someone who is fed up with subscription models, I will take this deal any day.
  • Really smart features

    Minical offers a few features that make reviewing your calendar and quickly adding events feel effortless. The widgets offer an information density and layouts that perfect for scanning (e.g. the 3-day or 5-day week view). And event templates make it so easy to define known types of events so you can add them with basically two taps (e.g. I regularly schedule checkins with people that have a known duration, but sometimes the time changes; I can have the duration, location, and invitees already in the template).
  • Beautiful

    This app is beautiful. There is something aesthetically wonderful about it that I can’t put my finger on. The settings let you customize all of the right things. There is only one calendar view and it’s the perfect one. I’m so grateful to the developer for creating this work of art.
  • Nice Lock Screen widgets

    I like the two week calendar view on the Lock Screen, it is very minimalist as the name implies, and shows a line under days with events. Adding events, editing, templates and url preview within events is nice and streamlined. A good companion calendar app that works well alongside more full-featured calendar apps.

    Pro version removes ads for one time purchase, and is worth it because the ads are very intrusive. The app is updated multiple times a week which is a bit suspicious (what could they possibly be updating other than ad or tracking packages).
  • add more color customization for widgets

    That is all I ask even a hex color picker or something I like my widgets to be transparent with the home screen and I have very limited color choices to choose from with the default ones you give I'm a pro user i love the minimal calendar its sleek its pretty i just want more color customization thank you!
  • Better than I expected!!

    I love this app! I think it’s easier to use and keep organized than apple’s default calendar app, which is really why I downloaded it in the first place. I don’t love the ads, but understand why the company needs them. I also love that the upgrade is a one time fee/purchase, so I will be upgrading in the near future! For those not interested in paying, ads only appear if you’ve had the app open for a minute, instead of being in your face the second you open it, which I appreciate. I love how easy it is to customize your calendar, it’s the one place I feel like I actively use one. For iPhone users I highly recommend adding a widget of the app as well—it makes it super easy to do a quick check.
  • FINALLY! What I’ve been looking for

    After realizing that native Apple apps work best for my productivity, I still wasn't content with the user interfaces and widget options of Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. I also didn't want to purchase subscription based services like TickTick or Moleskin just for their aesthetic calendar view. This is the calendar app I've been searching for, and I'm incredibly thankful it's available for a one-time purchase as I'm trying to avoid subscription-based services. I feel seen by this app! Thank you developers for creating the ideal calendar app. I seldom feel compelled to write a review immediately after a purchase, but this app truly deserves one. Will be raving about this to my other friends!
