### 4/5 — Useful

*2026-06-25, version 5.5.4*

Nice and clean calendar.  Unfortunately, you can’t delete Apple’s questionable “holidays”.

### 2/5 — Great Until It Deleted Everything

*2026-05-02, version 5.5.4*

I’ve been using this app for nearly 10 years and loved it! Then I woke up to having all of my calendars completely blank

### 2/5 — Lost data- unretrievable

*2026-03-13, version 5.5.4*

I have been using ICalendar for over a decade. A couple times my data entries on the calendar have been lost for no reason but retrievable. More recently all my data entries were lost again for no reason. I troubleshooted as recommended ensuring to follow all the steps and then uninstalled and reinstalled the app but all my entries past and present are gone and not retrievable. Support only recommended the steps on the FAQ to fix the problem
But no other personalized help. I would recommend using another app for your data.

### 2/5 — Suddenly blank and can’t restore

*2025-12-29, version 5.5.4*

I’ve used this app for years and loved it. Three days ago I lost all of my data, events future and past. I’ve tried everything and can’t restore.

### 2/5 — Decent

*2025-12-22, version 5.5.4*

Really liked this app for last few years. Little by little the app has glitches that have made me not totally go electric ever. Not sure if this is an Apple issue or app issue. Data I entered has disappeared not the first time this has happened on iphone but not on iPad. Subscription ends February 2026 even though it only $2 I won’t renew. I’ll stick to carrying a paper planner.  I can’t risk it working third shift I rely on planners.

### 3/5 — Used to be great

*2025-05-14, version 5.5.4*

I have used this app for years and it’s been great. Then all of the sudden it won’t let me update any events and says denied access. I have had to start using a new calendar now due to this. I tried to contact support but my email was rejected.

### 2/5 — Can’t change recurring events

*2025-05-08, version 5.5.4*

I’ve used this app for years for scheduling appointments for customers and reminders for monthly bills. Never had any issue until about a week or so ago. Suddenly I can’t change recurring events like payments due, to reflect it’s been paid. Support doesn’t respond, gonna have to find something else that works better. Disappointing!

### 4/5 — Great Calendar app!

*2025-04-07, version 5.5.4*

Everything works great except now I can’t move an individual calendar event that is part of a recurring event! Please fix that!!

### 1/5 — Leider kein eigenständiger Kalender. Schade!

*2024-11-18*

Ich hätte gerne einen schulischen/beruflichen Kalender erstellt. Allerdings kann man den Kalender nur mit dem normalen Kalender synchronisieren. Das heißt, dass meine Arbeit dann meine privaten Kalendereinträge sehen kann. Das habe ich mir anders vorgestellt. Sobald ich den Zugriff auf meinen privaten Kalender nicht erlaube, kann ich auch keinen Eintrag machen. Schade! Das waren 2,99€, die ich aus dem Fenster geschmissen habe.

### 3/5 — Ok app

*2024-11-03, version 5.5.4*

Wish it showed the month and date without having to open the app

### 1/5 — Lohnt sich nicht

*2024-10-20*

Keine Verbindung zu Microsoft Kalendern. Nur über die in iOS verknüpfte Kalender. Und für sowas zahlt man. Keine Empfehlung. Lasst euch nicht über den Tisch ziehen.

### 3/5 — Widget not very versatile

*2024-09-04, version 5.5.4*

I find the widgets to be not very useful when you’re looking at a weekly. for example I have two appointments on the ninth which is part of the week that is showing, but it’s only showing me one appointment when I click on the widget to open the calendar. It shows me both appointments so not very helpful.

### 4/5 — Sync with skylight calendar!

*2024-08-16, version 5.5.4*

Love this calendar but wish it synced with the skylight calendar- like so many other popular apps do.

### 1/5 — Everything is gone

*2026-06-06, version 5.5.4*

I recently lost everything on my calendar. I’ve never had this problem or any problems with this app. Tried to reach out to the email they provide and it is not a working email anymore. This is completely devastating to me- I use this for business and for personal use. And I’ve now lost SO much.

### 1/5 — 😕

*2026-01-26, version 5.5.4*

I lost all my events I’ve ever had on this app a few days ago. Tried to reach out to customer service and they haven’t responded back to several emails. I’m devastated 😔

### 1/5 — Everything gone

*2026-01-15, version 5.5.4*

Bought this and used it this to plan my life for years and now one day all my entries have disappeared and I can’t contact the developer or get any support.

### 1/5 — *DO NOT USE THIS APP!!*

*2025-12-29, version 5.5.4*

Check the other reviews. Just cleared two years of data and can’t get it back. Tried everything and even saved to the cloud. No customer support. DO NOT USEEE.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-10-28*

Worst Calendar ever paid 2,99€ for nothing

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-02, version 5.5.4*

I loved this app for the longest time. I loved how organized it was and how well it showed all my upcoming dates. One day I opened my app and everything was erased. I emailed their “support” email that they said responds to every email but they never responded. I have emailed 3 times!!!! And then I put all my dates in again and they got erased 2 days later… I am furious.

### 1/5 — Information gone

*2025-09-08, version 5.5.4*

Over the weekend my calendar was totally wiped out. I missing my dates events appointments birthdays. Hope you can get this fixed. It is September 7, 2025

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-06-20, version 5.5.4*

This app does not allow you to appointments or reminders - the app does not cost a lot at $4 but feel ripped off that it does literally nothing!

### 1/5 — Can’t Update recurring events

*2025-05-10, version 5.5.4*

I was able to update any & all events on my calendar until about a month ago. Not sure what happened. Color codes are no longer the color I set them to.

### 1/5 — Does not do ANYTHING it says

*2024-12-01, version 5.5.4*

No color coding, no drag and drop! Total scam. They want to connect to your Apple colander NO! Can’t even add a task or appointmentDO NOT BUY! Calling Apple to get money back. Complete scam

### 5/5 — Useful

*2026-09-01, version 5.5.4*

Nice and clean calendar.  Unfortunately, you can’t delete Apple’s questionable “holidays”, but that’s an Apple problem, not the fault of this app.  Good to know it is still being updated as of September 2026.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2025-11-08, version 5.5.4*

I could not live without this calendar! I’ve never paid for optional services provided so I don’t believe there is a charge to use the basic functions but I’ve used this app for years. It is awesome how you can color code your events and set reminders so you don’t forget what is going on and be able to look and see what you have planned before making appointments or commitments. I prefer this app over the system app provided on the iPhone.

### 5/5 — Gosto muito

*2025-09-18*

Uso esse app ao invés do calendário nativo do IOS.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2024-09-07, version 5.5.4*

My go to calendar

### 5/5 — Best App, colours are essential

*2024-08-30, version 5.5.4*

Such a great and easy app to use. Only feedback would be sometimes when I type day names or numbers it automatically assigns items to that day or number and removes the word I’ve written, when I want that word in there! For instance the musical SIX was a nightmare to enter into my calendar 😂

### 5/5 — Incredible agenda-style week view! Perfectio

*2024-07-29, version 5.5.4*

This really nails the week-view agenda/list style, a rare feat and feature! Been looking for this exact implementation FOR YEARS! 

The color-coding is a nice touch also for furthet differentiating entries, and NLP (natural language processing) for the dates is great as well!

Keep up the awesome work and know that this deserves to be #1 Productivity and stay there! No other calendar nails it like you've done, absolutely euphoric about finding this app today!

Feature requests:
- same vertical scrolling agenda/list for the day/monthly/yearly

- display option toggle off the numbered timeline in day feature so it only shows the entries in a list so it more resembles the week style for that day

- checkboxes to check off BOTH events and tasks/todos in the main view and tasks section + option to be able to
Swipe to check off both in either main and task views

- option to easily convert event into task and task back into event without losing information (having to lose the title info) in the exchange

- Projects/lists with % progress indicators. Would pay extra for this project management capabillity :)

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2024-07-18, version 5.5.4*

Thank you for keeping my calendar straight.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2024-07-12, version 5.5.4*

I can open it by year, month, or day. 

I can customize reminder times. Choose my colors. 

I can set repeat dates 

Search and find 

This is my go to calendar!

### 5/5 — Love the color coding

*2024-07-10, version 5.5.4*

I’ve used this app for years and love it!! I love that I can color code my events! I can link other calendars to automatically show up in this app (like our fave college basketball team’s schedule).

### 5/5 — Pictures

*2024-07-07, version 5.5.4*

Should allow pictures.
