While the previous version served is purpose well for a few years it wasn't upto the standard of the latest iOS liquid design. Happy to report this new iteration meets that design standard and I found it intuitive and easy to navigate. Kudos to the developer and thank you for all the hard work. The app is free with no built-in ads if i may add 👏 ### 3/5 — I love everything *2024-07-04, version 2.0* I love everything but there is a bug on the date for some reason today is july 4 Thursday but its showing 26 sene in Ethiopian calendar ### 5/5 — SaifeMikhail the London *2024-03-12, version 2.0* Easy to use app, especially for us who live outside Ethiopia. ### 5/5 — . *2024-01-20* I love this app. I like how all our holidays are added to it too. It would be even better if it’s customizable and if it had a widget like the of calendar app so we can use our own calendar dates. ### 4/5 — Update required *2023-04-05, version 2.0* It is not working after I updated OS recently ### 5/5 — Very useful app thank you for creating this app for Ethiopian Callander users ❤️ *2023-02-16, version 2.0* Amazing ### 5/5 — Gobez *2022-09-11, version 2.0* Oyyy!!!

For example today is Thursday and the highlight supposed to be on Thursday, but it is on other day and date. Please fix that Hailesselasie. ### 5/5 — Appreciation & Suggestion *2021-10-19* This is a unique app for us those who wanna use Ethiopian orthodox tewahdo calendar. I really appreciate your work.

Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mr *2025-01-06, version 2.0* It’s not working at all in my phone, even I paid for it. ### 1/5 — There is no Amhara numbers! *2023-08-14* Mr. Developer, as you said, it is an Ethiopian calendar. Unfortunately, I didn't see any Ethiopian own representing numbers. This calendar showed me even if years showed Ethiopia counting, but purely indicated Gregorian numbers, and it is not representing Ethiopians. Go ahead and try to show us our numbers! ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎 *2022-08-18, version 2.0* It has the wrong dates and days displayed. It could really be better. ### 1/5 — Why are you not using Ethiopian numbers *2021-07-23, version 2.0* As much as it is a useful app I am disappointed you did not take your time to make it a legitimately Ethiopian Calendar using Ge’ez numerals. ### 1/5 — He hasn't widget if you can add widget *2017-09-16, version 2.0* Thanks ### 1/5 — App crashes *2015-06-07, version 1.0* Good try but the app doesn't even start. Says initializing and boom black screen. ### 1/5 — Not working on iPhone 6 *2015-05-14, version 1.0* After I download the app on my iPhone 6 I couldn't open it. Maybe it's not updated for iOS 8.3 ### 1/5 — need improvement *2015-05-14, version 1.0* didn't work need to fix it ### 1/5 — Not good *2014-09-05, version 1.0* Not good at all😣 ### 1/5 — Good Idea but useless *2014-08-31, version 1.0* I am really sorry; but this app crashes hope it will work in the future. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-01, version 3.1.2* Great App , specially the details of Orthodox day with explanations ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-06-02, version 3.0* It’s updated, and works great as I expect. Thank you ### 5/5 — More Than a Calendar *2026-05-27* Amazing app. I especially like the explanations for each holiday and their meanings.

Thanks to the developer. ### 5/5 — 5-Star Review: Reliable and Always Accurate *2024-09-14* This calendar has been my go-to for staying organized, and it has never disappointed! What I love most is that it never misses a holiday. Whether it’s national holidays or even smaller, lesser-known ones, everything is marked clearly and right on time. It’s been a lifesaver in planning and making sure I never miss an important date. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a dependable and well-organized calendar! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
