Not something that is useful for me. Should be optional. Update: june 12,2026 - Too dev team…you don’t even have to remove the week count column. Just make numbers same color as column background so we don’t see them. Then the week count column would look like the gutter of a booklet, very cool. ### 4/5 — Simple, and fast *2025-12-12, version 1.20.1* All good except no way to remove the week counts. Not something that is useful for me. Should be optional. ### 4/5 — Untitled *2025-11-17* My favorite calendar app though it doesn't do notifications. ### 3/5 — It’s a nice way to remember *2025-08-18, version 1.20.1* It’s make my life easier to remember my appointment n meetings n lots of other important events. ### 5/5 — Perfect with one mistake *2025-08-02, version 1.20.1* I really love your app – it’s great in every way, but please check the Reccurence mode. It’s missing the option to repeat every 6 days. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-07-24, version 1.20.1* Exactly what I was looking for 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — PABLO MMI *2025-04-15, version 1.20.1* I find this a lot easier to use than many others I’ve tried. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-03-19, version 1.20.1* Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Sehr übersichtlich *2025-02-28, version 1.20.1* Für mich ist die Oberfläche sehr übersichtlich und einfach bedienbar. Das einzige was mir fehlt: wie kann ich einem anderen User den Zugriff auf meinen Kalender erlauben? ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-01-07* Clear to see and collect the data and information. Great app !👏 ### 5/5 — Excellent Calendar *2025-01-02, version 1.20.0* Very good layout and easy to use ### 5/5 — Best Calendar app out there *2024-12-06, version 1.19.2* Calendar is simple and clear, just what it should be. Not sure why Apple haven’t come along and ripped it off as theirs is still so bad. ### 5/5 — At last a calendar app that I can read! *2024-11-13, version 1.19.2* I've used numerous calendar apps over the years and all of them were difficult to read and plan using anything other than a day view. Cali displays the calendar in a way that looks like a paper diary and it’s great to view and work with. Brilliantly simple! ### 5/5 — A fan but today a problem . . . *2024-11-13, version 1.19.2* I’m a big fan of this app and its clear interface, however today I have encountered a problem with all entries having disappeared. Have checked visibility and all fine there. All entries showing on Apple calendar. Cali completely empty. Help/advice please to get it back on track. Many thanks! ### 5/5 — I like it very much! *2024-10-10, version 1.19.2* It’s very user friendly and a very good price! ### 5/5 — Clean and simple *2024-09-25, version 1.19.2* Easy and aesthetically pleasing calendar. ### 4/5 — Simple & efficient *2024-09-04, version 1.19.2* For the average Joe, this clean, simple calendar is great. ### 5/5 — The calendar that should come with iOS *2024-08-10, version 1.19.2* Cannot live without the simple week per page calendar. No idea why the in built calendar is still so terrible but this is a perfect substitute. ### 5/5 — Übersichtlich *2024-08-03, version 1.19.2* Hatte einige Jahre einen guten Kalender, auch gekauft. Jetzt kommt ne neue Version und alles mit Abo. Das ist echte Abzocke. Eine Woche gesucht und probiert und bin bei „Cali“ fündig geworden. Einfache Bedienung, leicht verständlich und kein unnötiger Schnickschnack. Interessant finde ich, dass auf das sonst übliche bunte verzichtet wird. Es ist auf das wesentliche eines Kalenders „beschränkt“, nämlich Termine einzutragen und die übersichtlich darzustellen. Tag, Woche, Monat, was braucht man mehr. Gefällt mir gut und empfehle ich weiter. Nach zwei Tagen stand für mich fest, der Programmierer muß belohnt werden. 5,99€ gerne investiert weil es gerechtfertigt ist! Dankeschön. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too late to buy? *2025-12-15, version 1.20.1* Where is dev? I want to purchase! ### 1/5 — No calendar database access: Useless! *2023-02-20* Got error notice requesting access to calendar database. Went to app settings and the calendar database is not listed. Access available only for Contacts, Siri & Search, Notifications. Useless! No thanks for wasting my time and cellular data. ### 1/5 — Stop asking me to buy stuff every time I open the app *2021-11-30* !!! ### 1/5 — Adds on! *2021-08-14, version 1.15* I paid subscription for ads free diary! But ads clouded my diary each day ! Will discontinue using this app! ### 1/5 — Virus *2021-08-12, version 1.15* Have a virus ### 1/5 — Behind your back! *2017-12-17* I just opened this “Free” app I had to allow and allow,until I had to allow them to take money for some kind of “ small purchase” I say forget it! Beware of people that want your when you only have one more button to push! Cancel this app out for me! **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you hadn't a good experience with Cali. Well, the app of course has to ask for permission to access you calendar database otherwise a calendar app is kind of useless. The app also explains why it needs access and it also explains that it is not a "free" app. One has to pay one small one-time purchase to use the app, but the app will only ask for it after weeks of usage. That should everybody give enough time to try the app before purchasing it. However, if you decided not to purchase the app that's also fine. ### 2/5 — Almost there *2022-12-17* Please make snooze button repeat every 10 minutes WITHOUT having to select the times, 5 minutes 10,20,25,30 etc etc ### 2/5 — Good *2021-09-28, version 1.16* A big improvement on the native Apple calendar. Much easier and more logical when adding new entries, then viewing and amending if needed ### 2/5 — Cali app *2021-08-19, version 1.15* Downloaded this app and have been using since March. Notice that all my diary entries from March to June have been wiped out. Why or how has this happened? ### 2/5 — Calendar *2021-08-19, version 1.15* It has disappeared, I purchased it now it is not visible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-03, version 1.21.0* Excellent, I keep coming back to this weekly calendar. ### 5/5 — Chas mro kar *2026-05-25, version 1.21.0* Dikade ppc ### 5/5 — CALI -Calendar : Review *2026-05-11* Very customer friendly Calendar app. Deserves kudos ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-29, version 1.21.0* Plain, clear and easy to use. Brilliant thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-03-22, version 1.21.0* Simple and Effective ### 5/5 — Sometimes simplicity is all you need *2026-02-28, version 1.21.0* I’ve spent many years trying to find a calendar that was simplicity itself. All I sometimes need is a straight forward look at what’s coming up without the need for ‘bells and whistles’ included. This seems to be it - at least for now, ### 5/5 — Simple and effective! *2025-12-04, version 1.20.1* It’s a very simple and effective app. However, it would be of immense help if the icon itself displays the current year along with the month. Hope the developer works on it in the next update. ### 5/5 — The calendar that should come with iOS *2025-11-04, version 1.20.1* Cannot live without the simple week per page calendar. No idea why the in built calendar is still so terrible but this is a perfect substitute. ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2025-08-28, version 1.20.1* So simple yet so complete…great job. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-08-13, version 1.20.1* This is just what I was looking for. Simple to use,no ads or fancy features. Highly recommended. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
