### 2/5 — Everything Deleted

*2026-08-22, version 5.37.35*

I have used the app for years. I’ve enjoyed how easy it was to navigate. I kept my entirely life in it. I also own a business and it helped me tremendously to stay on top of things. 

Unfortunately, if I had known that simply going to the settings to unsync my iPhone calendar that it would delete everything within the calendar I would have never paid for the subscription nor downloaded this app.
I didn’t even use my iPhone calendar. I just wanted it unsynced so it would not display the same holidays redundantly in the app calendar or birthdays I didn’t want there. 

Everything is gone. I’m extremely stressed from this as everything was held in this calendar.

### 2/5 — 1 annoying thing

*2026-08-21, version 5.37.34*

It forces you to connect to your other calendars during setup, so, if you wanted it for something separate, you’re out of luck

### 3/5 — Love it but forced to pro to invite some one is a joke

*2026-08-17, version 5.37.34*

I have loved and used this app for YEARS but the recent force to upgrade to pro just to add an invitee to the calendar	item is a non-starter. $21.95 seriously? I am out.

### 2/5 — Lost features I paid for

*2026-08-16, version 5.37.34*

Just found out I’ve lost features I paid for when I bought this app. Looks like they have gone subscription only. Not sure when this was as the first I saw of it was when I could no longer use the feature. As a developer myself I find this a bit unsavoury. Lock knew features behind a subscription, not existing ones. I haven’t decided whether I’ll stick with the app or not - what can happen once can happen again

### 3/5 — Very Satisfying

*2026-08-13, version 5.37.34*

I’ve used this App for years, with satisfaction. A recent blip was explained and sorted very quickly by their team. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Really, really like Calendars. Just needs 1 feature add- pretty please!

*2026-08-05, version 5.36.17*

Does most everything really well and looks good. I’d just live the ability to have travel time set as many of my appointments require some traveling and I need alerts.

### 5/5 — Important Support

*2026-08-04, version 5.36.17*

I had a problem with the app constantly crashing on my MacBook.  I tried many options and nothing worked. 
I reached out to support team and they responded immediately and provided options.  Nothing helped so they escalated the issue.  What impressed me was that team members kept in touch, updating me on the testing and as soon as a fix was available sent me a link with instructions.  
The yearly fee is more than I like but the product does what it promises and with such a great support team, I have nothing but gratitude and praise for Readdle and Calendar.  Alona and team have been fantastic.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-07-31, version 5.37.33*

I love this calendar app. It’s much better than the iCal. It helps me and my family stay organized. The color coding and easy to invite others or share entire calendars is just what I need to organize my life. This is the only calendar app I’ll ever need.

### 2/5 — Review

*2026-07-31, version 5.37.33*

Doesn’t say you have to pay for it

### 2/5 — Lost everything..

*2026-07-30, version 5.37.33*

Not sure how it happen but I lost everything past and future events. I had that calendar for the longest time. I tried everything to find back my events. I used that EVERYDAY for my business!  I am more than sad. Gave me anxiety and stress….

### 1/5 — Cant repeat event without pro

*2026-08-26, version 5.37.35*

Iv been using this app for years and now I suddenly can’t repeat anything without pro. Shocking

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-08-25, version 5.37.35*

Basic features such as repeating events, editing synced accounts, and using multiple accounts locked behind ‘pro’ - things that any calendar should contain! Constant popups and interuptions. It’s a calendar, how hard can it be?? I wanted to try a independent creator other than apple and google.

### 1/5 — Has deleted my schedule

*2026-08-23, version 5.37.35*

For the second time now my whole calendar has been deleted. I’ll have to go old school and use a paper calendar! That’s if I can afford to buy one because I’m going to miss all my appointments and work schedules and possibly lose my job and become homeless. Thanks

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-12, version 5.36.17*

I used to use this app all the time. It was better than the default Apple calendar app but now it is complete garbage. Practically unusable for me. I hope your experience is different.

### 1/5 — App deleted everything

*2026-08-09, version 5.37.34*

I’ve been using this app for a while and it randomly set the default to not syncing and stopped backup to iCloud and my phone randomly shut off and everything was completely wiped

### 1/5 — App deleted everything i unputted into my calendar randomly

*2026-08-09, version 5.37.34*

I put about 2 months worth of notices in my calendar, and one day it just randomly deleted it all

### 1/5 — keeps resetting

*2026-08-08, version 5.37.34*

### 1/5 — no repeat dates

*2026-08-07, version 5.37.34*

another useless calendar app where the repeat function is blocked behind the subscription. can’t add repeat events such as work, classes, habits, etc

### 1/5 — Devastated

*2026-08-06, version 5.37.34*

Love it, used it for ages, well organised, the year planned and happy, UNTIL one morning I woke up and everything is blank, all gone. I tried trouble shooting, I’ve been in tears, no luck, will ring apple tomorrow hopefully with some luck they might be able to help, however I have a feeling it’s gone for good. I also pid for the app which makes it that little bit worse 😭

### 1/5 — Não aparece mais na widget

*2026-07-29*

Não aparece mais os eventos do dia na widget da tela inicial

### 5/5 — Artem

*2026-08-25, version 5.37.35*

Can’t find the habit tracker in the planner section. Lifetime license

### 5/5 — Great Calendar

*2026-08-25, version 5.37.35*

Nice way to record upcoming events as well as past ones and it is free.

### 5/5 — Great system

*2026-08-25, version 5.37.35*

It’s and easy and great system to use

### 5/5 — I LOVE Readdle Calendars

*2026-08-24, version 5.37.35*

I love this app so much! Been using it for years, and the Weekly view is my favourite. I colour code various aspects of my life and can see it all at a glance. I couldn’t live without it, and I’m retired now!! Thanks so much for your wonderful app. PS Your support has been great too when I’ve needed it with syncing issues when Outlook was messing things up!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-14, version 5.37.34*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Great organization

*2026-08-13, version 5.37.34*

Ever since I learned the Covey / Franklin method in the late 90s, l’ve tried to find an electronic organizer to fit those principles. This one does.

### 5/5 — Best calendar on the market

*2026-08-11, version 5.37.34*

I use this calendar app every single day.  Easy for me to organize and also love how it transfers to my other devices seamlessly. Game Changer for my scheduling.

### 5/5 — BEST Cal app

*2026-08-10, version 5.37.34*

I’ve been using this calendar for almost 15+ years. If you’re looking to coordinate task, events, etc., with “color” that actually populates on the calendar in “all” views.. then, this is the perfect calendar app for you. user-friendly, sync well w app cal, hey seriously believe this app is extremely underrated. IT’S THE ONLY CALENDAR APP I USE.

### 5/5 — Satisfying until now

*2026-08-09, version 5.37.34*

I’ve used this App for years, with satisfaction, but after the recent update, it bizarrely seems reluctant to show ‘yesterday’ , or certain other days, but usually ‘Yesterday’. 
Hopefully it’ll be fixed in the next update.

### 5/5 — LM

*2026-08-05, version 5.37.34*

The only calendar I actually use!
