Paying for app
Really difficult to pay for the app when credit card has expired. Took 3 months to work out how to update credit card, and even then we don’t know what worked. Plus today’s date is missing from the icon which is really irritating.

All in-app purchases for all apps on the App Store are handled directly by Apple. You need to ensure you have a valid payment method set up for your Apple account to be able to make any Apple purchases. Our app does not have any control over this. With regards to Todays date displaying on your home screen icon, please go to the app's "Main Menu" > "Settings" > "Display" > "Badge Icon" then set it to "None" and then back to "Today" again. 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 further questions for you.
Love it but they keep raising the price
I’ve been using this app for years & I absolutely love it. It’s so much better than other calendar apps I’ve tried. You can customize everything from the background photos each month to the colors to the calendars you use making different ones for things like work, school, family, doctor appointments, etc with everything color coded & easily recognizable. It’s great & so easy to use. My only problem with it is you have to pay again each year & the price keeps going up. I think when I first started using it paying for a new year was $0.99 or maybe $1.99. Last year I paid $2.99. Now for 2022 they want $4.99. While that’s not a lot of money, having to pay that every year basically forever gets expensive, especially if they keep raising the price. I’ll probably pay it for this year but start looking for another option before next year which is unfortunate.

Thank you for your feedback. We regularly review our pricing to ensure we cover our costs in developing and maintaining the app so it is sustainable long term and our users know they can rely on it. We also genuinely want our users to feel they are getting great value for money for an app they use multiple times everyday.
Good BUT recent DEMAND for Location to set Alerts
PocketLife is actually the ONLY CALENDAR that has met all, well, all but one of my needs. And because that need is fairly particular to myself I’m certain PocketLife will fit all of your needs in a Calendar.
What is that particular need? The ability to set a dozen or so alerts in order to stay on track while getting ready to go somewhere. Being an agoraphobic makes it VERY Difficult to leave the house, my ability to self sabotage and be Late to Every Single Appointment, or even miss it, is legendary. Thank you PocketLife for fixing the Alert needing a precise location problem. I need ALL 2 of the Alerts I am allowed!

Love this calendar app
So much variety and personalization. I’ve tryed others but they don’t compare. You can place
Your own photos as background, choose to show or hide holidays (though I wish we could choose which holidays as that can get a bit too much PocketLife 🙄). Also you can choose from a vast variety of colors for your appointments , reminders as well as utilize your phone emoji’s. It really is a one stop does it all for me. Oh and you can even choose your view on how you can look at your calendar (year, mos, list etc etc so easy). Thanks PocketLife for a great

Extremely helpful
As a person with “disorganized” ADD, this app is super-helpful for keeping track of my appointments with clients throughout the day. I can forget things in a minute. I love being able to color-code and the bounce feature is also helpful. All in all, I have not found anything better for getting me through my day. I know that it has more complexities than I care to learn, but I just love the simplicity of it and I recommend it to others. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I used to be able to get reminders flashed on my phone. Maybe Google took something over but now the only reminders I get are via email, which does me no good at all. I tried to find out hot to make the reminders come up on my phone again, but to no avail.

Impressive. Please enhance!
Have used for years. Best calendar for iPhone. My prior issues are no longer a concern. If they made a change on task display, I’d love this app.
I only wish I could create a task, which rolls forward to future dates if not complete. If “Complete” is checked, I’d like the item date to be the date completed, and have the completed item always display on the date completed. This is only a display change and has no effect on the data stored in the native app. If the item already has a date stored at the time of checking the completed box, popup and offer the user to chose either the date completed was checked or the existing stored date (or open the item for any other user choice).

Love this app!!!
I can read this calendar so well. It is so much better than the calendar that comes with the iPhone. I was always scheduling things on the wrong day because he iPhone calendar would roll to a different day so easily I would easily schedule on the wrong day. where as this one does not do that so I am much more accurate and quicker. I love that I can touch the day and the event will scroll across so I can read it without actually having to open it up all the way. Or if I touch the day blows up the event for me to read. I can hide certain unwanted holidays if I don’t want to see them on my calendar whereas I could not do this on my old calendar. This pocket life calendar is just very user-friendly and I really like it.

Upset about the change!
I normally love your calendar, but this change you all made ROYALLY SCREWED THINGS UP for me! In several ways! One of which was, since this NOT GREAT CHANGE you made, I have not been receiving my Birthday notifications like I was before, and I am TICKED OFF! Because I have two very precious kids whose birthdays I spaced because I’m EXTREMELY SICK AND DYING right now, and I’m dependent on others & their apps to remind me, and when they don’t function properly I MISS THOSE DATES! It’s HORRIBLE Being so sick and depending on others and I hate it, because I CAN’T depend on others! THEY AREN’T DEPENDABLE! Nor are these changes you’ve made! I’m so not happy with this new calendar change! Why do people continue to “Fix that which is NOT broken?” So then it eventually is broken!

I never write reviews but…
I never write reviews but PocketLife deserves one! I’ve been using the app for years now and it’s without a doubt the most useful, most user-friendly and most reliable function on my phone. Will renew every year until I’m dead.

Thank you for supporting PocketLife. We hope you have a very long and happy life. 😀
Finally, a useful App
I tried to remember how many calendar apps I’ve tried during the last 5 years. That number landed on 7 apps which means that I could not find one that checked all of my boxes, until now.
Paid version apps are equivalent to a crap shoot for me, but I finally got lucky and found one that does everything that I need and more. This app offers very flexible and colorful calendar pages that are easy to read and modify.
I used to be the master of schedule conflict but thanks to this app, that will no longer be who I am. The days of bugging my wife over my future commitments are a thing of the past and I have to say, it’s actually fun to use.
