Fantastic for shift workers!!!
I work shifts in a hospital and love this app! It's so easy to use and quick to see what is coming up. I love that the templates are easy to use. The only improvements I would suggest are: - more colours, the dream would be a big colour palate like word has, but I'd settle for a white so I could just make lighter shades of the same colour. I’d love a different shape, other than the bar. I'd like to put it repeating dates e.g. Gym, or paydays but not have them be as obvious. Perhaps a circle in which you could just put a letter or two. Finally, I’d love to be able to share or combine this app with other members of my family who have this app. Otherwise this app couldn't be better!

I think your dreams have come true! You can already set more colours. You can already set a number of different shapes. You can also already set up to share your calendar with other family members. Please contact our Support Team through the in-app link on the app’s ”Main Menu" > "Help & Support" page. They will quickly be able to answer any questions for you.
5th star pending
A very useful and attractive calendar. 5th star would be gained by the inclusion of a feature I use and depend on in my 'unsmart' phone i.e. A field in the birthdays set-up for the date of birth so that the age could be incremented yearly. Otherwise a great, comprehensive and versatile app. Thank you
Organises all my time well. Hope I never lose phone!
Would still like the age increment in birthdays field I mentioned in last review. I Have to search paper calendars or brain and neither all that reliable now . Ah but then I’m forgetting my elderly Nokia phone calendar which has had this facility for years and years 😁.
Only fly in my ointment and I really enjoy and depend on my PocketLife app.
Is it worth 5th star or not worth the bother to programmer?

Thanks for your feedback. If you add the birthdays to the Contacts set up on your device, then a "Birthdays" calendar is automatically created. If you make sure you have given our app access to your Contacts, then when you view a birthday event in our calendar the age of the person will also be displayed.

Font Size for Events
I’ve used this app for a long time and I’m happy with the features I use. However no matter what font you choose the Size of the font Changed if the event title is long. This makes my eyes cross, I can’t focus on the sch because I have to look for sms size fonts that appear to be the location because of the size. I add calendar items from other apps which are lengthy, I would rather have the title truncated rather than looking at events with large fonts and little bitty fonts. Because if this I have been looking at other apps but I don’t like them, I want to use PocketLife but my eyes go cross eyed trying to be sure I am not missing events. How about a setting to choose. Maybe I am missing a setting? 4 stars because otherwise I love this app but that little thing is a very big thing to me, it’s totally inconsistent and makes the screen jumbled up. I don’t want to adjust every long title because you can’t truncate it. Please add a setting !!
I’m sick of looking at other apps.

Absolutely love this calendar!
I have been using this calendar for approximately 8 years. I have everything on it and use the color coding for birthdays, personal, Dr appointments, Holidays, etc. Love being able to enter an annual event once and set it up to carry over every year from there on. Or if I have a meeting at the the same time every third Tuesday of the month, very easy to setup. Calendar is easy to read and use! I sent an email to the Help Line because I couldn’t figure out something. I got a response back almost immediately. They also ask customers if there are any changes they would like to suggest every year. Thank you!!!

Great calendar.
I have used this calendar for years and it is a terrific programme.
However a recent change has resulted in the programme automatically inserting part of the “event description” into the location. It is a random selection from either the beginning or end of the event description and is always incorrect. This is really annoying and unnecessary. I cannot see that this automation would be useful to any user and I would like it fixed please. Or at least be able to choose for the programme not to make the insertion.

Great Calendar/Organizer App
This calendar is great for organizing your daily activities. I like that you can color-code your activities as you wish. I previously complained of the fact that my prior month’s records were being deleted, but I later realized that I was supposed to set it to store all the records. I especially enjoy the visual aspect of it. I am one of those people who have to write most of my plans in my calendar, and the bright color choices here make it easy for me to visualize my schedule easily. I would highly recommend this app and will keep renewing it each year.

Looks nice, how do I use it?
OK, so I have only just purchased this app so 'old timers' may think this unfair - but where are the in-app user instructions?
If you look at their Web site there are a lot of Q&As, but - as an example - how can I display the notes as part of an event detail? In Apple and another calendar app I have these notes are easy to find and edit simply by pressing on the event itself. These notes could be used to record a summary outcome of the event. It therefore should be possible (and easy) to search for info recorded this way.
Perhaps I missed it on their website, but where is the search Button to even find which Q&A could help me? Help!
And how do I find out even simple things that a new user needs without having to leave the app and wade through masses of Q&A questions on a separate website? Links anyone?

Great app 5 stars
FANTASTIC 5 STARS. This calendar App is Absolutely brilliant.
Lots of colour. Can add different backgrounds and it crosses off dates used too. Best app for calendars. Use it everyday. Great customer service answers my query very quickly and very happy with it. It alerts me for my appointments but lots of other features. Definitely the best one I have and I have tried a lot. Thank you PocketLife. Just bought 2024 now. X

Awesome
I never know what to title a review, bus Awesome pretty much explains it. My friend introduced me to this app a few years ago and I have not been able to live without it since. I was the paper calendar person because I like to physically see what I have going on and not just a dot that says I’m busy. Apple shows a dot when something is on your calendar, that can be a birthday, an event, a holiday I don’t celebrate etc. the only thing I don’t like about this app is I can’t delete the holidays that I don’t celebrate but that’s fine. They recently fixed the glitch when inviting someone. When I first got the app I could just start typing and the contact would appear. Then for about a year or so I physically had to go into my contacts to add them (always the same people) now I can add those same people I always add to events by just typing again. I know it seems petty but it was the ease of the app and I liked it. But it never stopped me from using it. I love that it just lays everything out and it so simple to read. Work is one color, fun things are another and important things are another. It works out great!

Add more photos
It would be wonderful if we can add multiple photos to each calendar event. I personally do moving claims and I end up having to create a photo stream of the photos from the job I go to inspect. It would be nice to be able to include several photos of the project/job at hand and then have the capability to be able to share these photos in something similar to a photo stream. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to add notes in lines, below each pic etc. to where I may need to point out something specific to the moving company. Overall, I really like the app.
