New Updates

The new updates to this calendar are terrible. Now I have to find a new app.

Deleted all entries

All of my appointments, events, anniversaries… everything just gone, years of information!

Calendar location

Prior to iOS update 27 when making an scheduled event entry we could put the location of that event and then receive the address for the location. The New calendar does not offer that anymore. Why?

Woke garbage

Lists stupid mexico holidays as US holidays. Remove this trash.

Wrong date appears

Since latest system update on iPad the wrong date appears in screen widget. I live in Australia yet widget seems to be on US time. Please fix. (It is correct on iPhone.)

The new update is bad!

The calendar was great until they updated it! Now it’s really hard to use and definitely not functional. I’ll be switching over to the Google Calendar because the headache isn’t worth it.

Improvements in scheduling and notifications

If the goal is to see and schedule events and remind you of events it fails that goal

It fails to set alerts on new added events
It doesn’t have an alarm option so notifications are mixed in with other notifications
Some events have no alert options for some reason and there’s no way to add them
There’s no styling of alerts to make it stand out in any way
The time to leave option doesn’t work unless you always enable gps (you can’t enter a start location)

There’s only two alerts but there should be four (and the option should be available to make alerts act as alarms)

- Alert 1 for the day before
- Alert 2 for an hour before
- Alert 3 for time to leave
- Alert 4 for event starting now

iOS 27 update blocks custom locations

No longer any option to write in a nickname or mnemonic for locations of calendar events. Forces you to select a preprogrammed location from Apple Maps even when it's wrong or you just don't want/need a Maps address, say, for privacy concerns? Screw you Apple

Wish it had more features

It’s fine. However, I wish you could attach photos from your library. I’m often taking screenshots of Instagram posts about events or getting sent a pic of a poster with all the info. As it stands you have to save it as a file and attach it.

Maybe if it was smart enough to scan the image and import the relevant stuff (like address time etc). Wish more things interfaced with it like what if I could text a calendar invite to the homies?

Good

Please make it so you can remove the dumb holidays like christopher columbus day

Calendar wiped clean?!

Woke up this am to my entire calendar being wiped clean!!! Lost all my appointments, can’t even add an event! Screen says to change security settings to access calendars. Did 40 mins trouble shooting with apple technician over the phone and still not working! 6 years worth of medical tracking for me & my autistic son gone! Iphone 12 should not have this issue for a calendar app! Thinking of breaking up with my iphone!

Liked the old view

I hate the new update. I liked the old daily view where I could see a single day. Also, when I am on the list of days, I cannot click on a single date, except the current date, to add an new event for that future date, I have to go back to the whole month and click the date, then it will allow me to add a new event. Tedious and obnoxious.

Wtf

Literally cannot use this app anymore and it makes me rage

Events gone

First time writing a review because all my events are gone from all the years I’ve been using it. Please fix it because nothing else works. I relied on this for important dates and maybe that’s my mistake.

Recent update glitches

With the recent update there is now a “W” on almost each day in calendar month view and there is no way to get rid of it

The calendar app has been broken for a while

Guys fix the app, act like you are charging a premium for me to be on your eco system.

Basic things like inviting someone doesn’t work.

I’m relying on Google Calendar at the moment.

View

I can no longer go from viewing a list of daily events to actually seeing a months by month or yearly version

27.0.1 calendar

This new calendar is awful! The layout choices are all chaotic and not streamlined. Events and appointments can be easily overlooked and can look overwhelming. Not easy for a quick glance. The previous version was perfect. Please change it back.

Last Calendar Update

I do not like the new updated calendar. It is confusing when you check the day’s entries and the date at the top does not line up with the date you are looking at. Please go back to the previous calendar before the last update. Thank you.

1 Star Because…

Because I am so sick and tired of having to learn a whole new system every time some fat fingered guy in your app design department decides to re-organize where everything is in the calendar. Please just leave it alone. It’s working just fine. We don’t need everything moved around every six months to make it “prettier”….It’s a good calendar, but it’s annoying to have to try to learn where everything is all over again…. stop it! Apple Corp: give that team of designers something to do that actually accomplishes something worthwhile!PLEASE! LEAVE THE DAMN THING ALONE!!!
