Well done Team 366 ### 4/5 — Awesome Cal! *2024-07-06* Where has this calendar been while I sorted through subscription based cals that are all overpriced. I started with the 366 Lite and quickly upgraded! It’s gorgeous to look at and functions like Fantastical for a much lower price point. The reason I took away a star, and this is a *suggestion* for the developer, I would love the option to suppress the weekends. My cal is too cluttered with the weekend view on my phone. Fix that and I will rate higher. ### 4/5 — Great app, would like help *2024-05-04* This seems to be a really great app. I have been using it for a week or so now and am impressed & still discovering new features. I wish it had some documentation other than the release notes to be sure I’m not missing anything. I believe in supporting developers, especially those with reasonable fees, and will definitely upgrade to the pro version if Calendar 366 continues to work out for me. It uses the standard iPhone calendar & reminder data so all of my events & reminders were automatically imported. ### 3/5 — Paid once, reloaded, asks for second payment *2024-03-19, version 2.9.4* Excellent app, so I paid for it 5 days ago. Because of Google/iCloud conflict I had to uninstall and reinstall. When I pressed Restore purchase, it popped up “Purchase full version first”! Emailed dev Sunday after hearing about the high quality service he gives, no reply… ### 4/5 — Great app, would like help *2024-03-08* This seems to be a really great app. I have been using it for a week or so now and am impressed & still discovering new features.

Unfortunately, none of my attachments open, and support is nonexistent. 4 emails and zero response. I’d give it 5 stars if it fully worked and got help to try make it work. ### 4/5 — Great app, would like help *2024-01-28* This seems to be a really great app. I have been using it for a week or so now and am impressed & still discovering new features.

I have been playing with Calendar 366 Lite and am continually discovering new features. I bet there are other important ones I am still unaware of. For example, can I include one of my reminder lists and not others? I do not need my shopping list in Calendar 366 but my business reminders should be there. It would be good if reminders first appeared on their early reminder date, not their due date. It often takes more than a day to get something done. It would be great if I could read exactly what I am purchasing for the upgrade to the full version. How sophisticated are the recurring events, for example? I wish there were documentation for this app so I could purchase the upgrade & increase my rating to 5*. Thank you for your attention. I have emailed the developer twice. Today I received from them a copy of my email with nothing further. I wish I knew what they were thinking. ### 4/5 — Help with app *2024-01-04* This looks like it might be 5 star app but I am unable to find any documentation other than references to twitter & facebook, both of which I refuse to get involved with.

The interface is clean, well designed for planning on the iPad, the views are customizable, and it’s easy to create or duplicate entries. Two things that frustrate me are (1) There is no indicator to identify recurring appointments so it is difficult to identify them when scanning the day or week, I have to open each one and sometimes I accidentally duplicate a recurring entry for a one-time event and don’t realize it. (2) There is no way option to export a day’s agenda or print a week/month view. ### 4/5 — Very close to buying Pro Version *2023-01-04, version 2.7.0* Love the week view and customization, the fact there is widgets and an Apple Watch app Close to buying pro version. Widget: please have a small 1x1 widget with todays date and and 3-4 upcoming events visible in the widget to maximize information. Love it! Thanks. ### 4/5 — Lovely App…however *2022-12-12, version 2.6.0* The widget looks out of place in such a dark black. Do the themes in the pro version affect the widget as well? ### 4/5 — iOS 16.1 Bug? *2022-11-02, version 2.5.1* I have been using the light version of this app and it has worked great for what I want especially for the Apple Watch app and complication view. Since I’ve upgraded to iOS 16.1 the Apple Watch app has been a bit sluggish. Can the developers look into this?Great app overall. ### 3/5 — Reminder Bug *2022-07-07* Love this app for the views, the Month is my favorite. This is my fav app for the Apple Watch! The complication date is easy to read and can set to see calendar events well into the future. My iPhone display has a bug. My monthly or yearly reoccurring reminders show everyday moving forward. I’ve shared this with developer and he’s been very responsive but it has not been fixed yet. I tried removing the app and turning off/on the reminders and it still displays this way. Please fix! ### 3/5 — Great App and Widget, but recent bug *2022-05-28* Calendar 366 is one of my favorite calendar apps. I like the Month/List view and the widgets. (More widget options would be great too!) I also like that, unlike many calendar apps, it supports the “Private” toggle for Exchange/Office 365 calendar events. Recently, however, I’ve been having a bug where the widget shows calendar events but the main app doesn’t show anything and I can’t create new events. I’ve checked all the options and settings and everything looks correct (and used to work), but there is now this bug. I’m using iOS 15.5. Please fix it soon so I can keep using this app! ### 4/5 — Great but *2022-03-06, version 2.4.1* Great app but still refuses to retain the setting to show the correct date on the app icon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst voice recognition of any calendar app *2025-12-03, version 2.11.1* This the by far the worst calendar app I have tried in terms of voice recognition and parsing into a new event. It can’t even understand “Dunner at Criwn Grill at 8 pm on December 6”. Calendar 5 is a genius compared to this. And I paid for the full version of this. Scanning Events is even worse. ### 1/5 — A waste of $10 *2023-11-26* My fault for not asking myself “If this is supposed to be a Fantastical-killer, then why aren’t there thousands of reviews?”. Downloaded the “lite” version and thought “ok, maybe I need to pay the $10 to see everything”. Wrong! There isn’t a guide or any settings telling you how to import existing calendars into this app. Instead, you can manually input each appointment moving forward and assign them to existing category calendar names. This is a complete waste of time for me to re-input over 200 appointments from 3 existing calendars. Every other calendar app allows you to add existing calendars, so why can’t this one? Refund please. ### 1/5 — Pushed a wrong button and all data is denied access! *2023-11-24, version 2.8.3* I was in a rush, the app has updated along the phone update. The app asked me something weird and I chose one option. Now I have no access to my own data on the app. It is all gone. And no idea how to get it back. It just says: access denied… ### 1/5 — What happened to the widget! *2023-09-26, version 2.8.1* Great app loved it, did iOS update, widget stopped working. ### 1/5 — Time zone bug *2023-09-03, version 2.7.7* Works great at home but when I cross time zones, all my 1-day events show up as 2 days on the grid! Please fix this, it makes it unusable! Goes back to normal when I get back to my home time zone. 4 or 5 stars when that bug is fixed ### 1/5 — No good for me *2021-01-01, version 2.1.0* Changing setting to have Saturday as first day of week didn’t work Changing setting to not highlight all day events didn’t work Not paying £6.99 for shoddy software ### 1/5 — Full Version Didn’t Work. Refused Refund. *2020-10-21, version 2.0.2* Use tasks in outlook heavily and reminders are a critical field for me. Tried this app and the tasks were not setting so they appeared on my desktop outlook via syncing with iOS reminders app. Tested Memento & GoodTask both working fine. I asked for refund as product does not do as advertised but refused. If reminders on tasks important to you then avoid. ### 1/5 — Problems *2020-07-07, version 1.10.10* It doesent work properly ### 1/5 — Lite? *2020-05-25, version 1.10.8* Paid for it & now it’s “lite”? Trash. ### 1/5 — Five minutes *2020-03-13, version 1.10.2* That’s how long I’d been using it before the first “please review me” popup appeared. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best calendar *2025-01-29* Been using calendar 366 for years to replace fantastical once they went subscription. Clean, basic, easy to use. Does everything I want and need in a calendar app. It’s the one third party app I consider essential. ### 5/5 — Great app with reminders integration *2024-05-06* Love using since can integrate my Apple Reminders with my calendar. Nice display options (especially on iPhone) with week at a glance (agenda) and month with list view (similar to but better IMHO than Fantastical) ### 5/5 — Top calendar app *2023-08-06, version 2.7.6* This is exactly what I need . A simple calendar with all my events underneath. So so simple. Thank you ### 5/5 — Time left until next event - Apple Watch *2023-06-08* If you could make an Apple Watch setting that could show time until next event instead of displaying time of event, that would be epic! I love how this app displays 3 events on modular watch face 👍 ### 5/5 — Ho provato *2022-12-13, version 2.6.0* È un’app molto efficace con ottimi spunti e funzionalità utili, oltre che capacità di integrazione ### 5/5 — Best Calendar on iOS and MacOS *2022-11-15, version 2.5.1* This is the best calendar in the app stores, all the features of Fantastical without a subscription. Looks awesome on iPhone, iPad and apple watch. On macOS has the best menubar calendar. Love this calendar, thanks developers!! ### 5/5 — Excellent Application *2022-09-13, version 2.4.6* For iPhone, iPad and Mac. The agenda view is my favorite. I use the biggest widget on both the Lock Screen and my Home Page. Highly recommended! The developer is very responsive and friendly. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2022-04-15, version 2.4.2* Better than all the rest! Idea for developer: Would love to have a quick switch button at the bottom of the screen to cycle between my two favorite views, would could be given somewhere in settings… Thanks for a great app! ### 5/5 — Brilliant !! *2022-01-03, version 2.3.3* Took me ages to find this - it combines calendar and reminders - can see week month etc views with phone in vertical or horizontal orientation - easy to read clear layout - handy widget. Very impressed - good design - using lite at the moment but will upgrade - very good one off price for full features. Thank-you for making this ! ### 5/5 — Best Value and Calendar app, period. *2021-11-06, version 2.3.1* No subscription, reminders integration, amazing UI, bargain price. This is a hidden gem. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
