No longer supported

Despite charging for the app, it is no longer supported and crashes when opening under iOS 16 and newer. Listing this app despite this is false advertisement. Remove this app and reimburse your customers!

Frustrated2

Just as another reviewer indicated, New Year's Day is now appearing on every day of my calendar from 2017 through 4018 and no matter what I do I can't remove it. I've even deleted the app. I do not have Outlook exchange I use google mail. I have tried contacting support via the app and via the website but no path for communication exists. Please help to. Lear New Year's Day from my calendar.

Clear, Effective UI

I have been using this app since 2010. The developer has effectively resisted adding eye candy, social media connections, etc.

Thank you.

You can get as granular as your want for counties, religions, social topics, etc. and then when you want to see what's coming up, the informations is given in a straight forward list view. At the top of the list on the top right and left are buttons to step back and forward is years...the year is on each button so you can quickly see past/future holiday day & dates.

Frustrated

I'm so frustrated with this app. In my calendar there is an entry for New Year's Day starting on Jan 1, 2016 and ends on Jan 2, 4017. I can't edit or delete this entry and when I try, the screen freezes. I have to close the calendar completely in order to open again to see the days. And now I have contacted support and cannot get a response. I would love to just be done with this app but so far I will have to see it until the year 4017!!!
UPDATE: Udo, the software guy, emailed me. He said the problem is when it is on an exchange server. He told me to delete New Year holiday w the Outlook calendar. It worked!!! Thank you, Udo.

Ok, but needs work

I noticed that I have to check the year each time I open app as it defaulted to prior year. Somehow it appears that it does not know the current year.
