### 2/5 — Not working now

*2022-10-26, version 1.2.23*

Was working well for what I used it for but not working anymore. I think it isn’t being developed either

### 5/5 — Dark mode?

*2022-02-16, version 1.2.23*

Any chance of Dark Mode?

I love this app. Takes a couple tries to get used to it, but that is normal with any new tool. Its great that you keep it simple to do one thing well. 👏👏👏 ui Suggestion: Tuck the cheatsheet and examples into a help tab. Sincerely, DaveWoodall.com

### 4/5 — Simple app but great at what it does!

*2022-01-09, version 1.2.23*

I’ve been researching simple apps for family with ADHD for MONTHS, as most calendar apps are way to complex for someone with ADHD to use regularly as part of their routine. This is an easy & FAST way to add something to the calendar. 

My only complaint? I wish I could set more than one reminder for an event, as neurosdivergent peeps often need several reminders.

Thank you to this app’s creator! There aren’t a lot of truly simple calendaring apps!!

### 5/5 — Great time saver!

*2020-04-28, version 1.2.23*

Exactly what I have been looking for! This makes quick calendar entries sooooo much easier! Thanks for developing this app. Hope is remains in the App Store forever.

### 2/5 — Calendar

*2020-03-24, version 1.2.23*

Still confusing. How do you edit it? If I need to add something else for that day how do I know if I already have it filled without a daily list of appointments. I don’t know why a calendar needs to be so confusing? Date, time, place, how long, with who, what event Boom done! And show it.

### 5/5 — Saves me a ton of time - love it

*2020-02-22, version 1.2.23*

I'm a shortcut nut so this is right up my tree. No more date and time pickers, no more am/pm stupidity, this gets it done in the fewest tattoos possible. Fantastic

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-07-26, version 1.2.23*

Can only put one trip and does not tell you how to add another b. Don’t need to tell myself what I am doing today . It has no calendar months.

### 1/5 — ADDS NO TOO LOOOOOONG

*2019-01-17, version 1.2.23*

Kind of defeats the purpose when entering the first item it immediately goes to an add that nobody will buy anyways, and you have to wait for 15 seconds for the delete x. Really used to like this program

### 5/5 — easy peasy

*2018-09-13, version 1.2.20*

I hate the hoops of calendar apps

### 5/5 — Cool Add-an-Event Calendar app

*2018-07-09, version 1.2.20*

The “Reminder” event app that used to be on Messenger disappeared.  I found this app and I’m finding I like it pretty well.  I just wish the explanation on how to enter information was spelled out more clearly. It’s not as easy as it could be, but examples are given.  You just need to work with it.  The good thing is that once you add an event, the previous entry stays in the text box that you can follow as a guide to enter the next event.  So, good on that.  I loved the app that used to be in Messenger because (in regard to Marketplace) both Buyer and Seller were reminded of a pick up day/time.  But, this is a pretty nifty alternative, once you get the hang of how to enter your information.  And it goes right into the calendar app on your phone.  Good app!!
