I find that I come across glitches with the widget every once and a while. For example, it won’t update the day (for example, it’s a Thursday but it’s stuck on Tuesday) and when I go to add more events, it won’t show up on the widget. I love this app because of the customization it allows you to have but I do come across these issues at times.
This app would be absolutely incredible for what it is considering the features, the design everything that it provides. The banner ads I can live with, however, the full screen un-skippable ads drive me absolutely insane. That completely dissuades any notion that I will ever have to even remotely think about purchasing this app. I understand in games where fullscreen ads provide some sort of reward for playing the game. What kind of backwards thought process involves PLACING UNSKIPPABLE ADS IN A CALENDAR APP. WHERE YOU NEED TO SEE THE CALENDAR AND NOT A 30 SECOND AD? Reconsider your ads. I will never support this business practice.
Honestly, it’s simple. Yes - that’s the hook to it all. But it works so well and so easy to just look at my schedule, make new events in it and call it a day. It’s quicker, easier and better in my opinion than my favorite app I’ve used for years - fantastical.
Awesome app. Finally an app that offers multiple reminders for an event, is aesthetically pleasing, and does not require a subscription. The app is incredibly intuitive and simple to use, less of a learning curve than Apple’s Calendar app. Love it! I happily paid the pro fee. I did not need the extra features but I will happily support any developer who’s moved away from a subscription model!
I’ve tried many calendar apps and I’m so happy this one that finally works with my brain. I love that it syncs with Apple calendar so when I have an event in my email it will automatically go to Minical. I bought the premium version and am so happy I did. I hope to see more colors and themes in the future. 🙂
I understand that everyone has different preference on how calendar looks, UI, and what kind of features it offers. For me this is the most closest to what I have been looking for after trying around 30 different calendar apps.
Things I liked
1. Not subscription base, but one time payment for the Pro version with reasonable pricing.
2. Month view widget. (Closest to my preferred color/font/size/design)
3. Monthly view with scrollable agenda on the bottom instead of opening each day to check events.
4. Easy to use templates. (Free version offers 2 templates which worked pretty well for me, but having more than that makes my life easier)
5. Copy to multiple dates
This may not meet your needs/wants, but I highly recommend to at least check out this calendar app.
I love minical, it’s clean, simple, and powerful. On the iPhone it’s a 5 star app. The only things keeping this from being a 5 star review is the iPad landscape view and the lack of an Apple Watch app. The landscape view on iPad would be better and cleaner if the list of events was on the side, instead of under the calendar.
I love this calendar. It’s a real break from overloaded, bloated offerings and yet is SO functional. This is worth a look for anyone who lives by their calendar!
I have two wishes that would make it perfect in my mind:
1. I wish that if you were to swipe left or right on the schedule part it would advance by one day in the appropriately direction. Right now, it is somewhat jarring that when you’re looking at a schedule for a Tuesday in the middle of the February and you swipe to go to the next day, you end up on March 1.
2. I wish there were some way, even if it were just a brief view, to be able to see a day schedule that shows open spaces. Sometimes it’s just difficult to know where you have openings when you’re only looking at it in a scheduled view. To have this option would mean I wouldn’t need any other calendar at all.
If you use your iPad in portrait mode (tall, like holding an iPhone), then this is hands-down the best calendar app. On desktop, I prefer Rise Calendar, but this is the best for iPad.
I’ve tried over a dozen other calendar apps within the past year, including Cron, Mayday, Morgen, Fantastical, Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Tiny Calendar, Calendars 5 by Readdle, etc. — this provides the cleanest experience on iPad, hands down.
I absolutely love this app. It does everything that I was looking for…….from having a full calendar view as a widget to being able to easily add events. AND it’s only a one time charge if you want to go pro versus a monthly charge like everyone else.
