### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-12-03, version 1.1*

The whole ios should look like this

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2013-12-03, version 1.1*

Nice design

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-12-03, version 1.1*

This app is awesome, the effects and gestures are amazing.

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2013-11-09, version 1.0*

I was a little worries cause it took awhile for my calendar to sync up, but it's all tree now. Looks super cool.

### 4/5 — Great fun

*2013-11-09, version 1.0*

Very Sci-Fi look -- blue "Matrix" numbers streaming vertically in the background (not distracting, but a powerful addition to the look). 

Shake for settings is fine, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to discover there were more settings when you scroll down. If there were a hint of another line below the first 2 items, understanding  would be automatic

Love the dials when setting a new event. Wish they were available when changing an appt time or to slide an appt with a small movement. 

Wish I could re activate the tutorial since the interface is so unfamiliar and I had no mental context in which to understand the momentary coaching at the first instant. 

Wish I could choose my default calendar and tell which calendar is being displayed. 

And if there were a week view in a grid it would instantly become my go to calendar. 

As it is, I'm happy I bought in just for the visual fun factor. Most calendar programs are (and should be) utilitarian. Few also add delight to the day.

### 1/5 — Bogus! Directions take you to non-existent website

*2017-07-17, version 1.3*

Bogus! Directions take you to non-existent website. Don't waste your time downloading an incomplete app.

### 3/5 — Looks cool but UI is meh

*2015-03-06, version 1.2*

Fantastic look, but UI needs a lot of work

### 3/5 — Good and bad

*2015-02-25, version 1.2*

For some reason, I like the looks! I wish I could turn off the background motion. I find it very distracting. I tried to change the weekend and holiday looks in Settings, but nothing worked. Hoping for further improvements.

### 3/5 — 12 hr times and color schemes

*2014-04-07, version 1.2*

Very very cool app, it makes scheduling things more fun haha. Only downside, for some, is that it uses military time when making an event. 

Please add 12 hr system and it would be really cool if we could choose our own color scheme. Just add a settings feature with those 2 options, event alarm sounds etc., and it's golden!

### 3/5 — Needs 12hr times - AM & PM , PLEASE

*2014-04-02, version 1.2*

This is a wonderful, elegant looking app – but it needs 12 hour times, and a few other improvements that others have been noted here. I would like to be able to change the color of the both the weekends & weekdays from the bright orange for weekends - and would like to make the week days more defined - like a bright blue border option. I do think these & other improvements will come with time, because it is a stunning app that shows it's creators care about quality. I will likely use it more after getting AM & PM, & promise I will change my review to reflect the positive changes made. GOOD JOB, GUYS!  Love the style!

### 3/5 — I Like How The App Looks. But...

*2014-04-01, version 1.2*

I really like the look of the app. I wish there was a way for it to display 12h times & not just 24h ones. There's options for a bunch of other things. I don't want to have to convert an appointment that says 16:00 to 4:00P in my head because it seems like screw it up when I do it.  Until that is changed (allowing 12h times), I'm not going to use the app...

### 4/5 — Gorgeous

*2015-05-12, version 1.2*

I love the look of this calendar so much. The animations for different functions is great, but it needs more. Delete needs more options. I need a weekly view. I hope the update makes it more functional for busy schedules.

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2014-09-22, version 1.2*

Need some improvment  add track or some music when swip

### 4/5 — Great look, put more functions

*2014-04-02, version 1.2*

If you use a current day calendar app, you know there are a lot of features and functions that make it useful. This app has an awesome look. To truly male it a home run, the developers should keep supporting it by adding a lot of those functions calendar app users take for granted. For example, give me a week view in addition to day and month.

### 4/5 — Cool app for the most part

*2014-04-01, version 1.2*

I really like the look and feel of the app. Totally sci if and cool interface. It is missing some options. Plz add the ability to delete events within the app separately without deleting the whole days worth of events. You currently have to delete them first from the iOS calendar first and then reboot this app in order for it to take effect. The ability to add an event is easy and straightforward. Otherwise it's a cool app. Plz add a few more options and it would easily be a 5 star

### 5/5 — Love it!!! But needs an update BAD!!

*2018-11-05, version 1.3*

I love the GUI and the stares I get when I go through my calendar. However there's a lot of space on top and bottom of my screen (iPhone XS Max) and it's starting to feel like a really old app :-/.. Please update

### 5/5 — This is Beam Me Up Cool!

*2017-10-16, version 1.3*

I’ve enjoyed this app and hope the developer will keep working on it so others will give it try; just use your imagination and break away from  your average ho-hum calendar app. 5 stars easy!

### 5/5 — Turkey

*2017-07-16, version 1.3*

Çooooook güzel

### 5/5 — Unique

*2016-05-23, version 1.3*

It is a shame this app does not get more recognition. Beautiful and well thought out.

### 5/5 — 💗💗Outta this world!💗💗

*2015-11-10, version 1.2*

I love, love, love this app! If only it were Apple's default calendar.... I like the way that it transitions from one month to the other in a cube like movement! Once I figured out how to use it, it was sublime! I would strongly suggest adding a week view and alarm ringers for events. I also thought of a great idea to add to it. Directly underneath the month and year, you could put Total Events with a colon, and the number beside it could go up into the 10,000's and beyond. Like say upwards of a limit of 500,000 events. Not saying that it would ever get that high, but you never know these days. But other than that, great graphics and design! Keep the updates coming!

### 5/5 — Great App, minor changes

*2015-02-26, version 1.2*

this is a beautiful app and I love the sci fi look of it. it's fine exactly how it is. a weekly view and a current date would be nice to add, as well as sci fi sounds. but otherwise, excellent

### 5/5 — Love it...

*2014-04-02, version 1.2*
