Functional

Learning curve, but useful when you learn it.

Response from developer

Glad to hear that you decided to give it a chance, and thank you very much for the rating!

Arch. René Acosta

The best app that I have. Thanks

Response from developer

Very happy to hear that you are enjoying it, and thank you for rating!

Very innovative

Brilliant idea. Easy to use and convenient.

Response from developer

Glad you like it, and many thanks for rating! We’ll keep building and growing the app for as long as it takes, and these reviews make all the difference to us. 👍

Great visual take on the calendar

After wrapping my head around a circle vs a grid, after getting used to the view, the calendar because a highly informative display of your time. I frequently add in everything I want to do on a day, but seeing how the circle quickly fills up and events overlap each other, it’s clear that expectations may be a little high. The visual display helps to set realistic plans and offers insights into habits and recurring events over time helping you plan better and consider what things are important for you. Looking forward to hopefully seeing tasks on the calendar in the future which would help pull information together.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad you’ve gotten used to the circular view and that it helps you see how your day fills up and plan more realistically. That’s exactly our goal: to provide a clear, useful overview of your time and habits. Tasks/reminders are indeed planned for a future update. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Great App

Only wish that more alarms could be set. So many features all in one screen. Very useful. Expect a learning curve but it is worth it.

Response from developer

Thank you for the rating! We hope the interactive tips help new users get the hang of the app more quickly, but we’re always thinking about how to make it even simpler. If you have any suggestions about alarms or anything else, feel free to send them to: info@galilea.si

Niche, but exquisite

This app requires learning; it is NOT a plug n’ play calendar app for people who aren’t interested in the wealth of other features and info CircleTime provides. I LOVE this app and it’s perfect for me, but it’s not meant for everyone and those leaving reviews should be mindful of that.

Response from developer

You’ve captured the essence of CircleTime perfectly, and it’s great to see that you recognise its value. It means a lot to us!

It’s a rather poor app that the developer loves

Where to start? In terms of being a calendar you would use daily, for personal or professional, this calendar app is not it. It is not practical. Its visual identity is more geared to be interesting than useable. It is “neat.” Yet, a good calendar neat alone does not make.

If you’re in the mood to view this app as art rather than a calendar you’ll use as a calendar, I would take a look. Otherwise, go in knowing that the functionality that brings it anywhere close to a useable calendar is $30/year.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest review, although we’re sorry to hear that you didn’t find the app useful. The principle behind its design is just like it says in the app description: ‘Time, as defined by nature’. Although we do believe in importance of aesthetics, this isn’t intended to be some kind of art experiment, but rather a wholistic timepiece with all the essential functionality. Of course more features are always being planned and we have plenty of new things in the works right now. What we develop next is mainly prioritized based on user feedback, so feel free to make your own suggestions. It should be noted that the app has evolved into its current form largely thanks to the invaluable feedback from its users.

App

Unique! Love this!

Response from developer

Glad to hear you like it! Thank you for rating.

Lies

In app purchases mean you have buy a subscription to use the app just charge for the app!

Response from developer

The in-app purchase options are listed on the App Store Page, and they do include a one-time ‘Lifetime’ purchase which unlocks the app permanently.

Sloppy

Very disjointed. Not intuitive

?!…CIRCLE TIME

Purchased the lifetime. Curious though.
Hopefully -no regrets.

Response from developer

Thanks for the purchase! And if you can think of a catchier name for the app, feel free to let us know. :)

Beautifully designed, well done!

Wanted to thank the designers for perfect circular design.
And also a big thank you for the lifetime promotion!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and rating!

Only shows locked screens.

This app looks interesting, but once I skipped through the annoyingly forced and long tutorial, the first thing I tapped locked the entire app with a blank white page and padlock symbol, which can't be.

In response to the developer's reply: There is no "cancel" button. The only way to escape the lock is to force-quit the app.

In response to the developers at second reply: again there is no "cancel" button. The padlock screen completely locks the app.

Response from developer

Hello and thanks for reaching out. Just to clarify, tutorial mode can be switched off at any time with the “lightbulb” button located in the upper-right side of screen. The padlock screen scenario that you mention is known to happen in two cases: 1. Popup with Calendars menu (opened by first button in the upper-left corner), when calendar access is denied after the access prompt was presented in the welcome panel. The app may still be used without Calendar access although it won’t be possible to present calendars and events, or create new events. Either way, this popup can be dismissed with a ‘Cancel’ button at the top. 2. Expanded events list in free mode. It can be closed by tapping on the arrow pointing downwards and dragging it down. If we are missing something then please write us to info@galilea.si with further details, including your device model and iOS version, so that we can properly investigate the source of problem. We thank you for the feedback and will try to improve things as much as we can in the next update! Update: Version 3.7.3 has a simplified Calendars popup - you can either dismiss it with a finger or with ‘Done’ button. But we’re unsure that we are even talking about the same thing. We’d like to help but need more info to go on. What exactly do you press to get this screen with a lock? Knowing on which type of device this happens and its iOS version would also be helpful. Thank you.

Kindly add widgets please 🙏

Kindly add widgets please

Absolutely awesome!

I just told my wife for the first time after 25 plus years of marriage that this is how I see the calendar and week in my head. She thought I was crazy! Well I found my circle people! Thank you. A great app. Now I need the Lock Screen wallpaper.

Response from developer

That’s great to hear! Can’t help with the wallpaper sadly, but the app has quite a few lock screen, home screen and StandBy widgets to choose from, and more are on the way. Many thanks for your review! 🙏

I Cry

I cry when I see how beautiful this app is.

Response from developer

Your review made our designer cry. 😅 A big thankyou from the entire team. 🙏

Will buy if not with subscription model

Nice little app to track agenda in a circular visual.

However, if it is only a one time purchase I would buy it but not subscription

Developer may take ref to the business model to the Agenda or Concept app (paid once for a set of basic feature but extra by user choice to upgrade)

I would say this is a fair and sustainable model and could attract more users

Response from developer

Thanks for your rating and providing feedback with your concerns about the subscription model. We’ll have a look over that soon and try to find a suitable solution. Update: As of v3.7.0 CircleTime includes a one-time ‘Lifetime’ purchase, which unlocks full functionality, and also supports Family Sharing.

So intuitive

A circle calendar is far more intuitive than a grid format, Also this app is beautifully made and thought through. Thank you.

Response from developer

Thank you dear user for the heartwarming review. It is always gratifying to hear from someone who recognises the effort we put into this app. Much appreciated!
