Fantastic app!

Really helps me stay on-track of what I’ve got coming up this week, and my To-Do’s!

Enjoy the app

I got a month free trial and I truly appreciate it! I really enjoy the calendar and the customization you’re able to do. Super easy to setup & understand.

Response from developer

Thank you! Really happy you’re enjoying it. I tried to make the setup as simple as possible even with all the customization, so it’s great to hear that worked :)

Absolutely eye catching view of my commitments in-front of my lock screen

Kudos to the dev!

Response from developer

Thank you!! Glad Calendarly has been useful for you :)

Nope

Looks and sounds great on paper, and fills a need I’ve been looking for to help out dementia addled parents, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t know if it’s a lack of testing or foresight, but absolutely nothing about this app is simple, intuitive, or actually working. There is no amount of fiddling with layouts or setups that can actually get anything displayed on the lock screen, or even allow me to pick what to show. I have multiple reminders and calendars for it to pull data from and yet it showed nothing. In the process it deletes my previous wallpaper setup replacing it with nothing but black and a poorly composited image of a widget with the drop shadow from the clock that used to be there. I really tried for about 30 minutes to make this work, but it just doesn’t.
For the amount of money they’re asking for this, it should be far more intuitive and actually work. This is a hard avoid for now.

Response from developer

I’m really sorry this didn’t work the way it should have. Calendarly does need a few setup steps because of how iOS handles wallpapers and Shortcuts, and unfortunately I can’t make all of that happen in one tap. I’ve tried to make the setup as clear as I can, and I also left a few places in the app where you can contact me directly if something is unclear or not working. If you’d like to try again, please email me at support@getcalendarly.com. I’d be happy to help you personally and figure out why your calendars and reminders weren’t showing.

Very useful and thoughtfully made

Super useful!!!

Setup was a breeze, UI looks beautiful and straightforward.


Thanks for this!

Response from developer

Thanks!! I’ve spent a lot of time on all the little details, so I’m glad it feels good to use!

简单而实用的 APP。

开发者很慷慨,免费版本都能使用的很尽兴,感谢!

Response from developer

谢谢你!我一直希望免费版也能真正好用,而不只是一个“试用版”。很高兴你喜欢 Calendarly :)

So Many Customizations Locked Behind Paywall

Was one of the first to try this app. Loved it at first! Then, after a recent update, my layouts became stuck behind a paywall. Can’t customize your background without paying. Would love to see more from having a free version. And if the dev is going state that the first 1000 get early access privileges, they should stick to their word. If positive changes come, I will update this review.

Response from developer

I really appreciate you being one of the first people to try Calendarly. I’ve just released a new version, and if you installed Calendarly before February 18, you should now have full access permanently. The built-in backgrounds are free for everyone too. I hope you’ll give the new version a try. If your access still doesn’t show up correctly, please email me at support@getcalendarly.com and I’ll take a look.

Paywall updates..

Downloaded as soon as I saw the dev posting the Reddit. Worked well but of course, too good to be true as they’ve moved to an overpriced subscription model and hindering any usefulness on the “free”. Was fun while it lasted but deleting now

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that, and I appreciate you trying the app in the first place. In the latest update we actually expanded the functionality available for free to make the app more useful without any purchase. If you ever decide to give it another try, I’d really appreciate hearing what you think about the current version.

Useful but overpriced

It’s a good app but I think both the yearly subscription and the one off cost is far to expensive for what you get

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. In the latest update we expanded the functionality available in the free tier and also adjusted the pricing to make it more reasonable. If you decide to give the app another try, I’d love to hear what you think about the changes.

Amazing - Works well and very valuable

Just what I was looking for. I can see my day at a glance on my lock screen. I have it update every hour to show my upcoming events. Easy to set up. No bugs or crashes. Perfect

Response from developer

Thank you so much, really glad it’s working well for you! And appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind review!!

Overly priced and new update took away features

The new update took away status line editor, put daily schedule & agenda templates behind a paywall lock that was supposedly free features for first 1000 users (I’m one of them) & now showing a watermark. Also, the price of the app is absurdly high! I would never pay if the developer switches strategies like this.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to write such detailed feedback, I really appreciate it. In the latest update we actually expanded the functionality available in the free version, and the watermark has been completely removed from the app. I’m also continuing to adjust things based on feedback from users. If you’re open to trying the newest version again, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what you think about the current state of the app.

Leider nur noch mit Abo nutzbar

Alle ehemals freien Funktionen sind nun kostenpflichtig, ohne Abo ist die App nicht mehr nutzbar.
Time to say goodbye.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und dass du die App ausprobiert hast. Im letzten Update haben wir den Funktionsumfang der kostenlosen Version wieder erweitert, sodass die App auch ohne Kauf weiterhin sinnvoll genutzt werden kann. Ich passe die Funktionen aktuell auch weiter basierend auf dem Feedback der Nutzer an. Falls du der App noch einmal eine Chance geben möchtest, würde ich mich sehr freuen zu hören, wie dir die aktuelle Version gefällt.

Surprisingly useful

Didn’t think I’d actually use this every day, but I do. I’m constantly checking my schedule, and now it’s just there on my Lock Screen. Setup was quick, and once it’s done you don’t think about it anymore. Simple idea, but surprisingly helpful.

Response from developer

Thank you, really appreciate that! That’s exactly the idea, set it up once and then just have your schedule there without thinking about it. Glad it turned out to be useful in your daily routine :)

The new update took away my preset and asks to pay

It was a nice app until everything got under paywall. So, I deleted it, since it’s no different than other similar apps.

Response from developer

Hi, I’m really sorry your preset was removed, that was caused by an issue in the recent update and was not intentional. If you downloaded the app before February 15th, you should still have access to all original features from the first version. Only customization of the two new layouts is part of the Pro upgrade. If something isn’t working correctly, please contact me directly and I’ll make sure it’s resolved. Thank you for trying the app, and I’m sorry for the frustration.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Calendarly is an absolute gem! I’ve only been using the app for a few days, and it already feels like home. I’m genuinely impressed by how well-designed and user-friendly it is. The interface is intuitive, everything runs smoothly without glitches, and the setup takes just minutes. The functionality truly saves hours every week.

I especially love how easy it is to create events and how seamless the synchronization works — everything is clear, logical, and free of unnecessary complexity. The app looks modern, performs reliably, and makes planning both work meetings and personal activities so much easier.

You can really feel that the developers care about their users and continuously improve the product. Highly recommended to anyone who values their time and wants to stay on top of their schedule!
