### 3/5 — Part scam

*2026-08-13, version 6.0.2*

I just downloaded it and when I see the ads for this it has stickers but when I downloaded it it didn’t so it’s part scam

### 2/5 — 😡✨😡✨

*2026-06-21, version 6.0.1*

Why can you only make one journal? I am so mad at that only VIP can make more than one. I will never be using this again. I hope you don’t get it.

### 4/5 — Simple but perfect

*2026-06-15, version 6.0.1*

Love the simplicity of the app would love it just a bit more it it allowed to upload or add pictures

### 4/5 — Fun but…

*2026-06-13, version 6.0.1*

This game is fun but it doesn’t switch the months to the month it is it stays on the month that you were on when you left.

### 4/5 — Review

*2026-06-09, version 6.0.1*

Let me draw you’re annoying me you tell us we can draw and I can’t

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-06, version 6.0.1*

It’s so fun and cute but I just wish it was all free so I can enjoy it all

### 4/5 — Very functional, but with a few bugs

*2026-05-12, version 5.7*

I love how I can color code my planner and actually write it down as if it’s a paper planner but every now and again there will be like a glitch that all my writing will kind of shift a little bit and I have to reset the page to get it to go back into place when I’m using the monthly calendar. A small bug that could be fixed. Overall, this really has been a huge tool in transitioning to having something more digital while still being handwritten

### 3/5 — Good App, Minor Bugs

*2026-05-01, version 5.9.3*

WHY DOES THIS APP CRASH ALL THE TIME?

### 2/5 — Set which calendars to display

*2026-04-27, version 5.7*

Three devices, all display ONE of my external calendars, but the setting for which calendars to display is gone, as is the ability to display none.

### 3/5 — Preatty good

*2026-03-23, version 5.9.2*

Overall good app but it’s kinda annoying that most things need to be paid to use and there are probably better apps than this but it’s a good app.

### 4/5 — Friendly feedback

*2026-03-18, version 5.9*

I wanted to start off saying I love the app!!! I was wondering if there could be an update for the journal where there is templates / a feature added for a year part of the calendar. It would be amazing to put all the goals I want for the year in one place like that or even having different templates for it!!!

### 3/5 — Good App, Minor Bugs

*2026-03-16, version 5.8*

App works well and I like the layout options, but I wish there were a spaces for common notes on the monthly calendar. I also prefer full compatibility with the Apple Pencil

### 2/5 — Problemi

*2026-03-12, version 5.8*

Crush e bug dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento.

### 4/5 — Great app, lots of potential, few issues

*2026-02-12, version 5.7*

Really like the app. I’m subscribed to the free trial and am considering getting the year. Two issues I have that if fixed would make this app amazing:
1) the app can be a bit laggy, which is weird because I’m using an m4 iPad Pro 
2) I keep accidentally opening day view when I’m writing on the calendar. I think it’s because my hand is pressing on the day. Really annoying. Would love an option to turn this off and only toggle to day view from the top.

### 1/5 — Scam!!! Evil

*2026-08-20, version 6.0.2*

It scams you you can’t even see your text! You also need to pay for everything!!!!! Don’t get it save your souls

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2026-06-04, version 6.0.1*

The app used to work great I don’t know what they did. Now all it does whenever you try to do any work is shut down honestly, I hope to get my money back because this is not worth your time or money.

### 1/5 — How do I draw??

*2026-04-16, version 5.10*

I can’t draw on my calendar. It is sooo confusing. I got the colour black and I’m trying to draw but it’s not letting me. Like what. And u don’t need to trust me. They told me to rate them 10 seconds after I got the app. Sooo yah.

### 1/5 — Updated review

*2026-03-28, version 5.9.3*

I recently reviewed that I love that app . However after using it and paying for the app , I am not satisfied. The app constantly closes unexpectedly despite up to date software . And they changed the from a color palette to a sliding selection for the color. You also are unable to share your notebooks / journals .

### 1/5 — ikkuhghy

*2026-03-20, version 5.9.1*

unukuj

### 1/5 — Glitches w/ sub?

*2026-03-18, version 5.9*

Today’s rating - fail. Can’t find a link to contact support but maybe this will work. I put some (drawn) tasks into slots on the calendar and they kept disappearing back into the day section. Just completed MOST of them and now they are gone completely. Big bummer, as that was my planning for the day.

### 1/5 — .mad

*2026-03-08, version 5.8*

This app sucks because you have to pay to write about your plans

### 1/5 — Don’t get me started

*2026-02-27, version 5.7*

That stupid app won’t let me draw on it or write on it

### 1/5 — Not working for me

*2026-02-22, version 5.7*

I can not for the life of me take off the keyboard slot!!!  Doesn’t give you option go back to using your pencil. I paid for this!!!!!

### 1/5 — Will not sync

*2026-02-17, version 5.7*

Unfortunately, CalenDraw does not seamlessly sync with other calendars (my organization will not allow it & therefore I wasted money on the app -oh well)

V poslední době se mi aplikace zpomaluje a občas nefunguje kopírování objektu v kalendáři
