Excellent AreaBook Dupe!

I’m really liking how closely this resembles Areabook as nothing else has quite compared since I got back from my mission.

I would appreciate seeing the progress bar throughout the day, and I would also like to have it sync with Google Calendar. How can we do that?

Hi! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so far - we just dropped those two features today! Is there anything else that you’d like to see? Please bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com and let us know if we got it right!

Needs improvement

This app could be great. I love having goals built in that I can customize and I really enjoy having the planner part. There are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed before I make this app my only planner. Also the canvas feature isn’t very accurate and there’s not much it can tell you, better to just use the canvas app separately. So the paid version is definitely not worth it.

Hi nedak123, I’m grateful for the feedback, we have updated the app with performance enhancements, would you be able to email bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com and let me know any others you have, and what you think we could add to the pro version that you feel would be worthwhile. Thanks! -Mark

One more thing.

This app is amazing. Thank you so much to whoever made it. There is one option that would take it from 90 to 100 for me. In our mission we used the filters a lot. It would be great if there was a physical filter on the map where you could filter events right there depending on what type of event it is (meeting, event, work, etc) and also your contacts like the designations that you already can make in the settings. Over all, amazing app. And thank you so much for making it! I look forward to a potential update soon!

I love that thought, Coca! I will look at adding that in the future! Thank you so much much for the support, and feel free to email bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com if you have any other feedback / features!

The App I've Been Looking For

This app is exactly what I've been looking for ever since I got home from my mission! There are a few minor details to improve, but it's already so much better than my regular calendar app! This app helps me stay organized and manage my time on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis! I love that there are even weekly goals you can set to help you remember to try making a new friend, going to the gym, making a meal at home, etc. It's different from how I used this type of app on my mission, but that's the point! I'm excited to see how this app continues to evolve and improve!

Deborah, thank you for the review, and kind words! We would love to earn that last star from you, and strive to be a 5-star application. Would you be able to email bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com and let us know what you personally would like to see changed? Thank you so much! -Mark

Room For Growth

Great ideas behind the app. It has the kinds of detailed settings you would hope to see to tailor a calendar to your own preferences.

Few notes:
Daily view is great, but it would also be nice to have a monthly view with events. Like a list view where the month fills the top half of the screen and when you click on a day the events for that day fill the bottom half of the screen.

Also, there is some issues surrounding the events. If I change an event color inside the event itself, the color doesn’t update until I restart the app. Second, when I delete or edit a repeating event and select the option “just this event” it impact all events past and future. This really constrains the flexibility to use the calendar function which is the point of the app.

Hi Static Bird, we're sorry to hear this. We are in the process of adding a monthly view and we have fixed the color selection issue. Please feel free to reach out at bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com if you have any other ideas - we'd love to earn back those three stars! -Mark

Great app

I’m looking to use it to help balance my hectic days and weeks as a business owner - is there a way to link my Google Calendar events to this calendar?

Response from developer

Hi 808BrettT! Yes, if you sign in to your Google account on your iPhone's calendar and then sync that with BetterCalendar, you will be able to sync that way, though we are examining native options for it. If you need help setting that up, feel free to email us at bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com and we will be happy to help you out & walk you through that process. Take care! -Mark

Just what I was looking for

This is exactly what I was looking for in a daily calendar. Very similar to area book planner and it’s easy to use and share with multiple people like family.

One suggestion, is there a way to add a red line that goes through the days events that moves down as the day progresses like area book had?

Hello, and thank you for your 5-star review, it truly supports this project so much! And yes, there is currently support for Apple Calendar although we are looking into Google. For now however, you can sign in to your google account and sync it with Apple Calendar, which will then sync with BetterCalendar! If you have any questions, or other features you’d like to see, please don’t hesitate to reach out at bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com - I’d love to hear from you! :)

Great app

Great app, best scheduler I’ve seen for free. The only reason I’m writing a review is because I can’t find the report a problem section in the app.

1. Please add a report a problem section

2. Repeating events are effected even if I select this event only. (Specifically if delete or adjust them from their menu)

3. Things imported from another calendar (apple in our case) seem to cause glitched blocks that cannot be deleted nor function properly.

I look forward to your future updates where you these problems.

Sincerely, a new user

Hi Jeddy! I'm grateful for your feedback - we do have a support email - bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com. Would you be able to tell us a bit more about what the issue was - I'd love to fix this for you! Thanks so much! -Mark

A dream come true!

After my service as a proselyting missionary, I was somewhat disappointed in my unsuccessful search for a calendar system that offered similar features to the unmatched Area Book app used by missionaries at the time. I found out about this app on a day I was particularly feeling overwhelmed with life. As a full time student, co-owner of an international Ed-Tech company, podcast host, athlete, and writer, I was feeling desperate for something to help declutter my mind, help me focus, and prioritize. I even ended up dropping one of my college classes. So, I felt like a little kid on Christmas day when I heard about BetterCalendar. Whether an average Joe or an ambitious CEO, this app is perfect! I look forward to utilizing its features and being able to finally organize everything in one place rather than bouncing between several different apps. Thank you Mark Taylor for designing this!

Just the app I’ve been waiting for!

I love this app! Excited for future updates. This will definitely replace my current calendar app. Can you add a month view to the calendar that shows events too, so I can schedule things out on a bigger scale occasionally too, instead of just a daily one? I would like to be able to see what days have events from the monthly perspective in case I need to plan around things that are happening farther out.

Just what I was looking for

Perfect calendar for planning your day with drag and drop.

Are there plans to sync it with Apple or google calandras?

Just like PME!

If you’re a former missionary, this app feels like home. Super good for productivity after the mission!

Thank you so much, Ben for this kind review! If you ever have any feature requests, or notica any issues, please feel free to email bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com

Gratitude

It’s not as good as areabook was, but it is nice to have. Suggestions for the creators: all is us to report on events so we can have a digital journal.

It’s not quite as user friendly as areabook was, but hey, I’m just glad to get it back!

Hi Papu! I’m grateful for the review & kind words! I love your idea to report on all the events - right now we have that as a notes section under each events. Would you email bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com with what formatting & features you had in mind? I’d love to make what you are thinking reality!

Great app!

Great app, however, my synced data from apple calendar, while showing up in the app, doesn’t show up as an event on my widgets.

Way more convenient that big time calendars

Being able to repeat on specific days again is nice. Brought back the pin locations which is convenient, like Google Maps AND calendar in one app. Just wish Canvas didn’t cost money, but gotta earn from the app somehow, so understandable. I still miss the ability to adjust the size spacing for the timeline. Plus, it’s annoying when the events accidentally move when just trying to scroll down to them. Other than that, LOVE IT!!!

Correction: you can adjust timeline size in settings lol

Hi, D3GR4W, thank you so much for your feedback! We've added the pinch to zoom on the timeline, as requested, in the latest update and have fixed the event dragging issue - if there is anything we could do to earn that last star, please reach out to us at bettercalsupport@connectitcorp.com - we value your feedback! Thanks!

High-quality task management

Absolutely amazing. Combines calendaring, task management, and contact management all into one resource to actually stay on top of things. I’m actually getting the things done that I need, but can still quickly add things to my todo list without needing to schedule them immediately! Highly recommend, especially for those shifting from very scheduled lifestyles to lifestyles with a lot more freedom and options to use their time.
