### 5/5 — The more I use it, the more I LOVE IT!

*2023-02-25*

I purchased this app a while back and I've recently started using it daily. The more I use it, the more I love it‼️

This one is a winner🥇

### 4/5 — Refund please.

*2022-10-24*

With zero info on the website and scant detail in App Store one can only learn about this app by purchasing it.  It’s an Apple Cal front end, a good one—but not a stand-alone calendar which is what I need.

### 1/5 — Very misleading.

*2022-06-01, version 0.8*

I bought this because I expected to be able to migrate my calendar from the original 30boxes web version (which will be defunct shortly), to this app. There seems no way to do that. Truly disappointing.

### 1/5 — So far, I hate it

*2022-04-17*

Tried to import the legacy calendar and could not
Looks and feels nothing like the old 30 Boxes
So disappointed
I don’t have time for this! 
Will probably go with google calendar

### 1/5 — Disappointed longtime desktop user

*2022-02-28*

I love and have been using 30boxes.com for a long time but there doesn’t seem to be a way to import my existing data into the iPhone app. The support section is also just a static page with incorrect/outdated directions and does not show how to contact developers. 
I would have paid to keep on using the desktop version but that was never offered as an option.

### 1/5 — This is not 30 boxes

*2021-11-08, version 0.8*

I use 30 boxes calendar on my computer and it works wonderfully for what I do. I manage a few condos in Costa Rica. I set up my main calendar and the other ones I can view with my main one. I cannot put bookings in but I can at least see what’s booked and what is available. When I want to put a booking in one of the other calendars I just switch to that one get it done and go back to the main one. 
30 boxes app does not connect with the main 30 boxes Calendar. So, it’s useless to check my openings when I’m out and only have my phone with me. At least before I could see what was going on and send a quick reply to a prospective renter. 
If the 30 boxes owners would like to raise some money I’d be happy to pay for the main calendar if they also incorporate the telephone app version. 
I am sure that all of the very low scores are due to this fact. Did the owners sell permission to someone else that just wants to take some money and run? 
Hopefully their developers will make it work properly.

### 1/5 — Bug?

*2021-11-05*

Happy to change this review when the app is fixed. Just bought it, and: nada. Loads some sort of startling screen, then completely unresponsive. Very odd. Restarting didn’t
help. All other apps on my phone work fine…

### 1/5 — Waste of $5

*2021-04-25*

I loved the old desktop version. This mobile app crashes every time I try to click the full month view. Complete worthless if I can only see one day at a time.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you have an issue.  Please contact us directly and we can try to fix it for you. We haven't seen this bug before. Our iPad/Mac Desktop version will have a stylish month view.  On the phone you simply can't do a nice job displaying events.

### 3/5 — Refund please

*2021-03-16*

Decided not to use. Thanks

### 1/5 — Not Helpful

*2021-03-14, version 0.6*

For us, the whole point of 30 Boxes was that it was a separate calendar from Apple iCal.

I thought this app would just be a better interface to that web-based calendar, but instead it integrates with iCal and won’t, in fact, do anything at all unless you grant calendar access.
