### 3/5 — Simple and nice

*2024-01-31*

I really like this app however after the last update there’s now an issue after you tap “add event quickly”. There’s a grey line through the text as you type which makes it really hard to see what you’re typing.

### 3/5 — I cant edit the schedule

*2022-12-07, version 1.10.4*

every time i try to edit the plans i made, it turns off itself. i have no clue and cant edit what i already made. not every plans but there are some i cant control. please fix it

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2022-11-30, version 1.10.4*

I used to love this app, but now it keeps crashing every time I click on an item in my calendar. I can’t do anything. If I want to click and delete something, it crashes. Please fix this or I’ll have to find another app

### 1/5 — Not compatible with ios16

*2022-10-01, version 1.10.4*

Can not open calendar events on ios16

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-03-10*

This calendar has a lot undesired malware do not get it

### 3/5 — Messed up days

*2020-11-18*

My days are messed up and have been the past month. It’s a day behind. The date is right but the day is wrong. So Tuesday November 17th 2020 shows up on the calendar as Monday November 17th 2020

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2020-11-03*

Why is month for November 2020 behind by one day?

### 3/5 — 수정 이후 튕김. 그리고 내역 삭제되요

*2020-08-17, version 1.9.36*

어플이 깔끔하고 사용하기 편한 구조라
예전부터 잘 사용하고 있습니다
그런데 어느순간부터 
내용 수정시 어플이 튕긴 후
기존내역까지 삭제되어 
다시 새롭게 등록해야 합니다
추후 업뎃 시 보안 부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — Awesome features, have been using it for years.

*2019-09-05*

This has been the only calendar I have been able to find that allows for a full calendar view widget that can been seen when swiped while locked or unlocked *on an iPhone*. I love being able to swipe over and see my full calendar without having to unlock my phone. 

It allows for custom calendars that I find helpful for custom color coding tasks or event types (my work schedule is one color and spans over my work days and other even types are separate colors). I set up my calendar types a few years ago and still use same process to this day. If I could’ve 100% developed my own app (which I can’t), it would have pretty much all the same features as this.

I have no issues with it erroring out or locking up, sometimes it takes a bit for the calendar to sync/update if you’ve added events to your gmail calendar from the web vs on your phone/in the app, but I still love it. To more easily set my calendars to specific colors I found it helpful to initially set it up from a web browser on a computer. LOVE IT, and I use it every day.

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2019-04-09*

It’s very nice but would like to add events in different colors of my choosing & would like to be able to put an emoji in the events as well. 5 stars if that would happen
