### 2/5 — Deleted my items

*2026-08-14, version 1.27.4*

I will sit and add MULTIPLE events to look back and they either have disappeared or changed the color coding. I go back to add them again and then the original one I added pops back up and now everything is duplicated! It is so frustrating to keep having to got back and forth to re-add things! I love the calendar but am searching for another alternative because this is very frustrating!

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2026-08-07, version 1.27.3*

The app is easy to use and set up perfectly. My only reason for not using it is because it lacks a dark mode. The white background is to bright and the is no option for a dark back ground. If there was a dark mode I would be using this app.

### 3/5 — Want to unsubscribe

*2026-08-05, version 1.27.3*

Signed up for 14 day trial. After 5 minutes and one failed action on my calendar, I realized I don’t want this app- it does not update when I delete a calendar event from my calendars. No good.
But I go to unsubscribe, (so I don’t get charged over $40 on August 18, ) and the app is not in my subscribed list. 
So I suspect I’ll be unpleasantly charged over $40 for a subscription I don’t want because I have no way to unsubscribe before the 14 days are up.

### 2/5 — Makes it hard to cancel

*2026-06-15, version 1.27.2*

App has not special features and made it hard to cancel

### 2/5 — No instructions

*2026-06-13, version 1.27.2*

I know most of us are pretty tech savvy but there should have been some instructions to come with it. I really feel like I’ve wasted my money… it’s a constant struggle figuring out how to do things and I’m always having to close out of it completely to get back to the full calendar. I can’t figure out the notes or the stickers. It’s pretty to have but that’s about it for me.

### 1/5 — Theft of money

*2026-06-03, version 1.27.2*

I did not sign up for a year subscription, I thought I signed up for the free trial.  As soon as I pressed the button, I was automatically billed for the year and to top it of that,  Apple will not refund.  I feel this is a scam.

### 1/5 — Paid for lifetime subscription but now they changed their mind and they want annual subscription fee

*2026-05-27, version 1.27.2*

I paid a lot for a lifetime unlimited subscription and loved it (even with the bugs). Then they came out with no warning and said everyone’s lifetime subscriptions were canceled and we would have to immediately pay for annual subscriptions even though we had already paid for lifetime unlimited! They did not even say “sorry, we will refund your lifetime unlimited subscription so you can purchase an annual subscription”. The app was pretty but it had flaws—I could have lived with the flaws because it was just my personal calendar, but with the sleazy bait-and-switch where you buy a lifetime unlimited subscription but they decide they won’t honor it? That’s too much.

### 1/5 — Could not even get started

*2026-05-26, version 1.1.0*

This app does not allow you to use it on a laptop  without having it on your phone. You better not start a subscription without my permission. I had to delete it without even getting to try it out. So sad.

### 1/5 — Unable to use app

*2026-05-24, version 1.27.2*

I don’t want to be harsh I haven’t gotten to really use the app yet because it refuses to get off the purchase this huge year long plan. I can’t look at a calendar I can’t customize because it wants me to either sign up for a free trial and give this random app a bunch of information or pay the 40 bucks and commit to this for a year. I tried to use their ai service which was of course the least helpful thing. I cannot figure out how to use the app so I guess I’m deleting it! How disappointing

### 2/5 — Not for me

*2026-05-22, version 1.27.2*

I did not like the constant sync issues it had with my Apple Calendar.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It user friendly

*2026-08-18, version 1.27.4*

Clicked the two week trial but was charged for the year and then told they can’t reverse it.
It’s not user friendly at all and can’t get any help

### 1/5 — It won't let me add events??

*2026-08-13, version 1.27.4*

Keeps telling me it's "null" after I paid for the year.

### 1/5 — Make the app cost money if you cannot use it unless you pay for it.

*2026-08-08, version 1.27.3*

Cannot use unless paying for it which is odd bc it’s a free app.

### 1/5 — You’re In Trouble If you try and cancel

*2026-08-06, version 1.27.3*

It’s a nightmare. I canceled the free trial before the end and they are hounding me about my payment not going through. IK OW I CANCELED THE SUBSCRIPTION!! I keep getting back to back emails about my failed payment and when I reply to cancel subscription. It sends me a dead link to cancel and to unsubscribe its a nightmare. You’re dealing with bots. Not a person at all. Beware! Spare yourself the frustration.

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2026-07-30, version 1.27.2*

I emailed them three times regarding a sticker pack order and have no received a response. Ridiculous. I do not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Note error

*2026-07-29, version 1.27.2*

I downloaded this app in the hope I’d use it all the time however I decided to delete it and now for some reason I’ve got the text “MySP-1 (do not change!)” on every single event note on my Apple calendar and I can’t delete them in bulk - if tech can help me remove this, that would be great!

### 1/5 — No free option

*2026-07-28, version 1.27.2*

I don’t know if this app works well or not because it wouldn’t let me enter without paying. I’m not paying for something I’ve never even tried out. I just deleted it.

### 1/5 — Nope, Nope, and Nope

*2026-06-09, version 1.27.2*

If you like difficult and frustrating, then choose this. I didn’t get past choosing a sticker because, call me stupid, but I couldn’t place the sticker. I guess it’s not as simple as just tapping the sticker and tapping where you want to place it. This is supposed to mimic a paper planner. I’ll take the paper, thank you very much.

### 1/5 — Pay to use only

*2026-06-06, version 1.27.2*

This app requires a payment to use anything it features

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-03, version 1.27.2*

I’ve canceled the subscription and still got charged.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-18, version 1.27.4*

I am loving this digital planner. I have the widget on my cell so as soon as I open my phone I can see my planned tasks or appointments!  I love that you can color code your day and add little ´stickers’! Loving my planner and would recommend for sure.

### 5/5 — The combination I’ve been looking for!

*2026-08-15, version 1.27.4*

I’ve struggled for years to find a calendar that works best for me. I like color and the ability to have my to-do list in the same app as my calendar. I love that I can change the covers depending on my mood. The tabs make it easy to get From month to week to day and then it also has a tab for lists and stickers. It’s as wonderful as any paper planner I’ve ever had without all the paper. I love that I can use it on my phone and my laptop. Highly recommend for creatives with ADHD.

### 5/5 — Best Digital Agenda

*2026-08-11, version 1.27.4*

It’s everything I liked about my planners with the convince of being digital.

### 5/5 — Found the unicorn

*2026-08-03, version 1.27.2*

I have been searching literal years for a iPad planner that was easy to use, syncs well, utilizes Apple Pencil and had stickers. I finally found it! This app is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! No need to buy templates and add to good notes and that nonsense. Love love love this app!

### 5/5 — Administrator Clerk

*2026-07-24, version 1.27.2*

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! My Artful Agenda

### 5/5 — Everything and more!

*2026-07-21, version 1.27.2*

I love this planner… you can tell how much work has gone into the development of it and they really listen to their community with regards to updates and improvements. 

It cleverly combines the feeling of a paper planner with digital integrations. 

The only thing, a suggestion I have submitted to the creators, is to have a more flexible layout for the day pages. But other than that it’s perfect 👌🏼

### 5/5 — Fabulously fun app!

*2026-07-19, version 1.27.2*

I have been using this app for 3 years now and I absolutely love it! Not only is it easy to use, I can access it on all my devices and connect it with my other calendars. Anytime I have had an issue (which has been rare and is usually user error 😂), their customer service has been efficient in helping me quickly resolve the issue. I love all the different design options, stickers, and fonts! Whether you want a  professional planner or a fun planner, there are countless options to fit your style and needs.  Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Perfect antidote for ADD ANNIEs

*2026-07-16, version 1.27.2*

This app has made my life easier, more organized and structured.  The colors help me to identify birthdays from appointments from meetings from parties at a quick glance.  I did struggle with syncing my calendars so that I would be able to categorize my things to do.  Thank God for YouTube.  I haven’t gotten super fancy doing some things others do but it works for me and I get to add stickers. Truly a God send, now the being ON TIME for the events is a Me issue that I’m continuing to work on😊 thanks artful agenda! I just may be comfortable enough to cut the cord to my desk calendar soon!

### 5/5 — I love Artful Agenda!

*2026-07-11, version 1.27.2*

Easy to set up and use! Syncing my calendars was easy. Adding a widget to my phone, tablet, and laptop was a breeze. I can keep track of personal and work all in one place and have the added weigh of my old paper planner to carry.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-07-01, version 1.27.2*

Artful Agenda has been a lifesaver for me and my business! I run my own business and have ADD and this app and website keep me organized and sane. I don’t really take advantage of all the cute stickers etc but I use the daily, weekly and monthly views constantly and have a ton of Lists to keep my business files organized, from product recipes to business goals to inventory counts and more. The app syncs to my Google Calendar, which also synchs to my family’s skylight calendar as well, so overall, my life is so much more organized across the board. I depend on my Artful Agenda daily and really appreciate its useful features. No notes!
