### 2/5 — Has potential, but UI is lacking

*2022-07-20*

This app was designed for an iPhone and then ported to an iPad.  There are lots of wasted space.  The design need to be re-thought as to how to take advantage of the additional screen real estate available on an iPad.

**Developer response:** Hmmm.. I would be interested to understand what you even mean by this. The iPad version has been developed for over 10 years and uses all of the screen real estate possible, it isn't a "port". If you have suggestions or need support please contact developers directly, reviews are not for support.

### 2/5 — Not What I Needed

*2022-02-26, version 5.15*

I’m new to iOS and have had problems finding a replacement for my beloved a+ calendar app on Android. I bought the Extreme Week calendar and ready liked it. I thought the upgrade would give me everything else I wanted. The tasks don’t pull from my Gmail calendar and the month view is only 1/2 screen vs the whole screen. Very disappointed in wasting money on the upgrade.

### 4/5 — Mise à jour 13.1.3

*2019-10-29*

SVP L’agenda Xtreme ne s’ouvre plus avec la MAJ 13.1.3, j’ai attendu la MAJ 13.2, idem!!
7€ qui s’envolent, soyez méfiants!!!

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2017-12-23*

Has nice functions

### 3/5 — Works for me

*2017-11-20*

Great app has everything I need

### 3/5 — Interesting app....

*2017-08-17*

Interesting app.

This app has been around for (more than) a few years.

It is quite configurable.

I've only just installed it. So not very familiar with it but it has some interesting looking features like templates.

I want it to display more than one line however but I haven't worked how to do this or if it's possible.

For the moment I'm giving it 3 stars out of the box. Would like to give it 3 and a half but can't work out why I can't... I have turned it on I'm sure.

If I work out how to display more information in event views that will be worth another full star. 8-)

### 2/5 — It does work

*2017-04-01*

This is a good calendar and reminders application. Apparently, creating a calendar and reminder's app is very difficult. There are a bunch of them and most are bad and/or don't work with all the iDevices and/or have some other bad oddity.

Not all features work in all screens. Example: Drag and Drop only works with the "Interface" of Tabs in the Month calendar view. Then only by selecting the day and from the day section (upper right), select the event or reminder, by holding it and then draging it to a different day. This means you cannot drag and drop to change the time, nor can you drag and drop from any other view in any other interface. 

Be prepared to do a lot of editing to get the esthetics to your liking. The developer(s) have made a huge error in providing many cosmetic options for this app. By providing the options it is easy for a user to get lost in the verbage. The option labels are not clear ("Back Color" & "Cal Back Color", I could not figure out which one changes what.) and not all possible options are available (no text color option). It would be a big help if the developer would hire a designer. Then remove the cosmetic options and leave a small number of themes. Also, they should remove the "Interface" option and just pick one, that would make testing all the themes easier. As is, not all screens work with all themes/options. 

My guess is the developer is trying to be everything to everyone with this app. Frankly, the end result works, but it is a mess.

Reply to developer comments;
My review is three years old and I stopped using this application at that time. It deserved two stars because: one, you created it and two, it worked.

Yes, being able to set every color is flexible and with flexible comes complexity and confusion. Having two, maybe three GOOD themes is flexible and easy. Less is more.

Professionally designed tells me nothing. Did you have at least one user experience engineer, at least one user interface engineer and a user interface designer work on this application (at least 3 different and qualified people)? Craftsmanship.

Cannot explain about the drag n drop, as too much time has past. But, if it is available in one view, it needs to be available in every view. That is consistency. 

As this is a calendar application, I cannot understand the difference between "Calendar Background Color" and "Background Color". Both would indicate the same value. Using the application type as part of a description appears to be redundant. Good short descriptions are difficult to create. Another good reason for simplicity.

The goal is "It just works" and to achieve this don't make people think. Simple to say, difficult to execute.

**Developer response:** I guess I'm confused as you call it a good app, give it only 2 stars, and then complain about having too much flexibility and customization (those are normally good things). 

The app is professionally designed and has default settings and pre-made themes that you can just leave the way they are and it will work just fine. 

If you could explain where else drag-n-drop could work, that would be great. Our move/paste functionality and tapping on a time pretty much covers where you would use drag-n-drop that we don't(it also is utilized in week view and lists).

Cal Back Color = Calendar Background Color 
Back Color = Background Color

It is one of my favorite reviews, as it is so not what most of our customers would even think about conveying about the app.

### 4/5 — Disappearing Events

*2017-03-31*

Update: heard the saying better late than never! LOL. Well these guys live up to that. Received a response to my first review 2 and a half years later!!! Yes you read right, no grammatical mistake! I had no idea what they were even talking about, had to find review and read again.  Still laughing, and just had to write about it, too funny. Guys I moved on a long time ago with my issue. You should have too. Maybe you were bored and needed stuff to do? Who knows!?!? Had to update stars for this great effort on the part of the developers for answering  two and a half years later. Ha-Ha. Maybe my comment was lost in cyberspace and just found, or maybe I was just light years ahead of them. Lol. Anyways nice product.

Since I updated to the latest version some of my events are disappearing and my icons disappear also. I have imput the same event about 8 times and every time I open my calendar the event has disappeared. This happens to more than one event. Getting very annoyed. Also I have added icons to many events and when I open calendar again the icons have disappeared but the event is there. Please fix. Worked great until this last update. Don't want to delete calendar but if my events keep disappearing it's useless to me. Love this calendar when it worked. Just looked back and noticed all of my events that I have entered for the whole year have all disappeared. Very upset now.

**Developer response:** Events disappearing has nothing to do with our app. A technical support inquiry would have pointed you to Apple's setting that removes events older than a certain age and assured that you are just not filtering out the event from being viewed.  Thanks.

### 2/5 — Not worth anywhere near the cost

*2017-03-23*

I found this app difficult to use because of the interface, particularly the small fonts and awful month view that doesn't use the full screen unless I expand it every time.  The month view doesn't support landscape mode, so I can't compensate for the truncated portrait view.

I inadvertently converted several appointments into untimed events with no confirmation or recourse.

Positives are the many custom settings and responsive Technical Support.

I regret purchasing this expensive app.  It isn't worth the money. For the cost, I expected a polished app that helped me keep up with my busy schedule.

I went back to Calendars 5.  Live and learn.

**Developer response:** Thank you for giving it a try and being a customer that first contacted technical support before writing a review like this. 

We appreciate the feedback and will try to address a couple of your problems with it as it is continually being polished. Live and learn.

### 5/5 — Best app of this type

*2016-09-03, version 5.0*

Finally, I found what I was looking for.  I love the ability to add colors to the calendar, and the features in general far surpass the other apps of the same type.  I am picky, and I'm happy with this app.  Now, a couple of suggestions for Improvement would be more text options for the calendar events, it's not very big or dark.  It would also be great to be able to add a background pic to the calendar.  I will say the selection of icons that can be added to the events is great, all around love it!

### 5/5 — Review

*2016-09-01, version 5.0*

The only one that I use

### 5/5 — Great Calendar

*2016-04-11, version 4.32*

Loves this calendar. Especially the privacy features & the feature of locking events.

### 5/5 — Still essential.

*2016-03-22*

Update to my earlier reviews: 
I have used this app for some years now and still consider it essential. It is continually refined and manages to integrate calendar and reminders in such a way that I'd genuinely be lost without it. 
***
v4.1 improves things still further with a better look and, finally, more icons to choose from. The added functionality I haven't tried yet. This is an essential app and I'd be lost without it - the fact that it continually improves is the icing on the cake. 
***
My earlier review is below. Since then I found I needed to schedule a meeting every 6 weeks on a Thursday; whereas this was possible, I mentioned to the developer and he extended the options in Custom Week to make it easier. I still think this is the finest agenda app out there.
***
I had a very good agenda app on my Palm PDA but I'd been looking to retire it for some time in favour of an iPhone agenda app. Nothing would do what I needed until I found this at v3, and now at v3.1 it's absolutely spot-on. PDA is retired and Extreme Agenda does it all, and more. Very highly recommended.

### 5/5 — A true 5 star app !

*2015-11-14, version 4.32*

Using the app for few years now. A truly productive all in one app for task & priority management...Also the creators keep continuously improving the app, which is much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Everyone should have!

*2015-11-02, version 4.32*

Great App!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-10-13*

This is the best of all calendar apps. Reality is most aren't good. This one has bugs but functionality is the best. If they eliminate bugs I would give it 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-10-13, version 4.32*

Love this app! The only thing is, it has stopped syncing with my Calendar app on my MacBook Air all of a sudden!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Perfect until last software update

*2019-09-26*

I have used this app for years and love the customization with categories and colors.  However, since the last iOS update I am no longer able to add new calendar items.  The option to save a new entry is gone.  I would give this app 5 stars as soon as it is working properly again.

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know here, but contacting support would have been a much better solution. 

Yes, with the release of iOS13 Apple did create some issues in the app that have since been fixed.

We hope you have discovered that it has been fixed, and we'd love that 5 star that was promised. :)

### 1/5 — Very poor excuse for a app

*2017-01-12*

What the hell did you do in this last update you must have been asleep I would rate this app a -0. It was better the old way it's ruined now

**Developer response:** I don't even know what this is referring to? What old way, what has changed that could possibly warrant this response?

### 1/5 — Reminders disappeared

*2015-12-27, version 4.32*

Bought this app wanting to really love it. I put in several new reminders this morning, opened the app again and they are gone. Money and time wasted...

### 1/5 — falls short

*2015-01-09, version 4.27*

Erased appointments repeatedly. Can not make photos part of schedule.

### 1/5 — Querformat

*2014-11-09*

Nach dem Update ist das Querformat nicht mehr nutzbar. Ebenso der anschließende Wechsel ins Hochformat.

### 1/5 — Does not sync icons, etc.

*2014-06-20*

Beware: app is advertised as syncing data as with the default calendar, but it doesn't sync icons and such.  So what you set up on one phone does NOT appear on another.  Misleading.  Makes it pointless to share calendars with anyone!

### 1/5 — Flawed

*2014-03-08, version 4.17*

This app has major bugs. The reminders do not work, they randomly disappear.  The app frequently crashes. Icons do not display in month view. Customer support is not helpful. Do not buy , waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2014-01-19, version 4.16*

Not so good

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2013-12-01, version 4.15*

I had extreme calendar which was working fine. I added extreme agenda and now both apps keep crashing when I try to add an event. I don't understand what the benefit of extreme agenda is over X calendar.

### 1/5 — Extremely Frustrating!

*2013-10-14*

Today was the last straw! I'm deleting this app. Twice I have missed appointments because I was relying on this app, but today I lost my entire contacts list!!! This is too much. Good riddance to this wholly unreliable app.

### 5/5 — I’m still using this app some 7-8 years now.

*2022-04-18*

I simply appreciate this app. It works within the rules/structure that Apple controls and does a beautiful job. I use this app daily.
I’m pleased, nuf’ said.

### 5/5 — UPDATE TO FIX!!! HELP!!

*2019-09-27*

Updated review: After downloading the 2nd iOS update to 13.1, the makers of my favorite calendar/agenda app have done an app update & thank goodness I can now save new appointments and save updated/changes to appointments that had to be changed. I am so grateful this has been fixed! Thank you.

Been an app user for many years, but ever since I downloaded the iPhone iOS 13 update, I cannot SAVE anything on the Extreme Calendar app. Cannot save new appointments or change existing appointment date, time, etc. Also app crashes when I click on “email support”. Please help ASAP!

### 5/5 — It works great!!!!

*2019-04-05*

Finally the app I’ve been wanting for so long. It does everything you could possibly want in a good calendar app. The only improvement could be a better day screen but even that’s not a hindrance. Love this app.

### 5/5 — Widget!

*2019-01-27*

Make this avail easy as a widget! And you’re golden

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2017-12-01*

Excelente!
Melhor agenda, só falta apresentar os Aniversários da agenda telefone!

### 5/5 — Extremely Good

*2017-02-28*

I really like this. Didn't think 💭 I could've found something this amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼😊

### 5/5 — If you like to customize and want am AllInOne Planner...

*2017-01-17*

.. This is one of the best calendar/ planner apps, hands down. I have tried just about all of the popular ones available and in my opinion, for the same price or maybe a couple bucks less, you get everything else all the others offer, plus reminders, lists that can actually tally totals, every calendar view that exists, templates and nice contacts feature. In response to the individual complaining about colours, there are 37 to choose from and that's just the background. For items entered on the calendar you can choose numbers, squares, writing.. Etc.. And another nice touch is the option to choose pattern/textures which is especially noticeable on the iPad.. Oh yeah, because this app is universal too. I wish I could upload pics because the ones here really don't express the versatility. I haven't checked recently but maybe the website has better views because it can be as wild or conservative as you need it to be. I like mine black and as minimal as can be but sometimes change it up and fly my freak flag because with this app I can do anything. My only complaint is it doesn't have a Mac crossover app, to my knowledge but it's nor a necessity for me.

### 5/5 — Un agenda haute performance

*2016-10-15*

Un agenda facile à utiliser....efficace et précis!
En un seul coup d'oeil on découvre les rendez vous, les tâches, etc.
Bravo

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-09-26, version 5.02*

This app has all the features I have been looking for. It works great and has a great deal of customization. The past two updates have been made it even better. The more I use it with the updates, the more impressed I am with all it can do.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2016-09-06*

06Sep2016 - In this latest version (Ver. 5) the developer has knocked it out of the park! Scheduling, contacts and tasks are all there and access is intuitive. This is my favorite calendar app.

Extreme Agenda provides all that is required to keep one's busy life on track. All of the information is right there without the need to switch out to another app. Too, the functionality exceeds that of the native iOS apps (especially the iOS calendar that is worse than lame). I have tried other agenda/calendar apps, but always return to Extreme Agenda. Highly recommended!

01Oct2015: As with my previous review l find this most recent version (4.31) to provide an excellent calendar/task app for the iPhone. Recommended without reservations.
