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. ### 4/5 — Frustrated *2016-01-09, version 2.9* 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. ### 4/5 — Ok, but needs work *2014-05-14, version 2.7.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Needs to be corrected *2012-03-26, version 2.2* I know it's not important to many but Seward's Day is never on a Tuesday. Always the last Monday of March. ### 3/5 — A pretty good app *2012-01-14, version 2.2* This app is very in depth... And does't miss any holidays. It would be five stars if I e function was added... The ability to a reminders to the holidays. Example. Valentines day is in two weeks. So you have time to buy gifts is the day requires. Other then that it is pretty cool. ### 4/5 — Sweet app, need to have one! *2010-09-03, version 0* I will give it 5 stars if Polish language will be available from the app, please? It's a great app just Polish is needed with Polish holidays. ### 4/5 — Great App *2010-06-04, version 0* This is a great app to have since the native iPhone calendar doesn't include holidays. Please add the following: Election Days and Daylight Savings. ### 4/5 — Just what I was looking for but missing a few *2010-03-07, version 0* A few I noticed that were missing: Passover Washington's Birthday Income Tax Day Grandparent's Day Election Day And it would be nice if Daylight Savings Time was included. Even though it's not a holiday, it would be helpful to have those dates so we know when to set our clocks back/forward. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Good but missing a few *2010-02-20, version 0* A great tool, but it is missing a few big holidays. For example, under Christian Tradition it has All Saints Day but not All Souls Day. Better than nothing though. ### 4/5 — Calender *2010-02-09, version 0* Trully a Holiday Calender for all people. Well thought out. Covers most religious beliefs and countries around the wortld. Thanks ### 3/5 — Patriot Day *2010-02-02, version 0* This app would be much improved with the addition of Patriot Day. Let us not forget 9/11, those we lost, and how America was forever changed. ### 4/5 — Utah Resident *2009-10-15, version 0* Utah Holiday, Pioneer Day is listed incorrectly. July 24th is the correct day, NOT June 24th. Alerts & the ability to make our own holidays would be nice. ### 3/5 — Push please *2009-10-08, version 0* Good app but don't know how push notification slipped their minds so u don't have to open the app when a holiday comes up ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2023-07-14* 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! ### 1/5 — Thanksgiving is not listed *2011-10-30, version 2.1* The "Holidays" app I downloaded does not list Thanksgiving as a holiday for 2011 or 2012. Since those years omitted it I presume it is missing for follow-on years. Makes one wonder what other holidays are missing. Not good! ### 1/5 — Waste of Money *2011-04-02, version 1.8.6* This calendar does not sync with the google or iphone calendar. If I want to see a holiday, I have to go to that calendar. That extra step does not save me time. I can find out myself when the holiday is instead of opening this app. ### 1/5 — Holidays Calendar *2010-07-16, version 0* Sorry to say that I thought this "calendar" would somehow, maybe magically, place the holidays that I selected on my "real' calenday. Just because I have one on a Palm Lifedrive that did just that, I figured this one would as well. Well, shame on me. This is a cute program that is a list of holidays that does not have anything to do with a calendar. Sorry, but this was a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Cool app - has potential *2008-12-15, version 0* I really like how convenient it is to scroll up or down to find which holiday you're looking in a snap. I also like how it's seperated by month! I would like to see: 1. Populate my iphone calendar. 2. Option to add birthdays or anniversaries. 3. Make Christmas eve an on/off option. I'm giving 4stars - apps only get 5 from me if i can find absolutely nothing to suggest - making it perfect lol. ### 1/5 — Huh! *2008-10-28, version 0* I guess I should really pay attention to the discription, I now own a calendar in a language I do not know. It is kind of misleading showing it in english version when it is only available German at this time. ### 2/5 — Not a Calendar! *2011-06-01, version 1.8.6* This is not a calendar only a list of holidays' dates. It will let you know which day is next if you hit the little forward button on the bottom. Not a calendar? Seriously? Com-on guys. How about one that integrates into the iPhone calendar and let's you see the holidays you have chosen RIGHT THERE! Good product, works well though. ### 2/5 — Calendar *2010-01-08, version 0* Kind of crappy to sale things and show them in English but then after there purchased put it in another language. Thank goodness I only wasted $1 ### 2/5 — I wish you could make your own holidays *2009-08-30, version 0* Like birthdays and family plans ### 2/5 — Hawaii Resident *2009-08-29, version 0* I'm an educator and wanted a calendar to track days schools are closed but disappointed that some Hawaii state holidays are not listed. Should at least allow consumer to make the additions. What's the sense of posting state holidays if it's not complete?! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clear, Effective UI *2016-09-20, version 2.9* 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. ### 5/5 — I am thrilled to have daylight saving *2013-09-28, version 2.7.1* Thank you. I have used this app for years❣ simple and helpful. ### 5/5 — It's Great!!! *2012-01-13, version 2.2* I have been dying for a calendar since receiving iPhone 3years ago. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-01-09, version 2.2* Great app, now I have all the holidays that i want on my iPhone calendar. I'm new to the iPhone(several days), but it is an easy app to use. It syncs to the calendar quickly, so the people below who have complained about it not syncing simply didn't know what they were doing & quickly complained. It's a several step process, select, hit done, hit sync button in lower left corner, wait a minute, then when start lights up, hit start. Just that simple. ### 5/5 — Calendar *2012-01-04, version 2.2* I dont know why some people below me are having trouble. I guess they dont know where is the sync button to sync selected holiday to the iPhone calendar. I found the sync button and work like a charm. Now i have all federal holidays and religious holiday on my iPhone calendar. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2010-06-25, version 0* This is the best holiday app so far, but could be improved by syncing with iPhone calendar. Also would like to see Chinese New Year added, specifying date and year of which animal. ### 5/5 — A- *2010-04-14, version 0* Nice app! It tells you the holidays this is the second best!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2009-12-16, version 0* I've been looking for something like this, it's so perfect. Easy to use and everything. It would be even better if it had push notification. ### 5/5 — What is Their Problem??? *2009-08-25, version 0* This App works great. IN ENGLISH When You first start the App it asks You what Country. You can also customize the Holidays You want. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2009-07-11, version 0* Wonderful application, but who is the creppy guy on the background??? I would like to see the background either reflect the next holiday or the selected holiday. Or at least have a changable background! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
