### 4/5 — App Still Works on 18.1.1 but widget isn’t available

*2024-12-01, version 2019.1*

Nice app but looks like abandonware.  Still functional on 18.1.1 but no more widget functionality.

### 4/5 — Works but needs fixed on Apple Watch

*2024-10-13, version 2019.1*

Excellent app which I use daily as a lab technician. Please update this app for the Apple Watch 10, the complication will not display the date and just says “Julian”. Other than that, great app!

### 3/5 — Count down tracking

*2024-01-10, version 2019.1*

Only thing that would be nice is a count down tracker.

Still enjoying it

### 4/5 — Quite usable

*2024-01-02*

Nice app. Noticed that the badge showed 367 on January 2, 2024. Fixed it by launching the app.

### 5/5 — Works great! Thanks

*2022-10-05, version 2019.1*

Works great.

### 5/5 — On Display

*2022-09-01, version 2019.1*

I don’t have to open the app to see what number day of the year it is.

### 5/5 — Julian App

*2021-11-28, version 2019.1*

It’s great easy to use.

### 3/5 — Convenient, but has bugs

*2021-01-01, version 2019.1*

3 years later and it seems that there is still an issue with the complication not updating on the Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Very helpful for work! Thank you!

*2020-12-14, version 2019.1*

Use it everyday! Always accurate, no issues.

### 4/5 — Julian App Review

*2020-12-06, version 2019.1*

The app is simple and straightforward. Easy to use and great. However. I experience a discrepancy on the actual date on my Apple Watch series 6. The correct Julian is showing on the bottom left slot on the infograph face but the actual date is one day behind. Example (341 day shows 12/5/2020) should be 12/6/2020. This is irritating as I like to use the Julian date for work and also have the actual date as well. This allows me to not have to use the date in another spot.

### 4/5 — Adding number of week

*2020-10-20, version 2019.1*

- Great app if you could add number of week along with day.

### 5/5 — Can we Get holiday Inserted in???

*2020-09-14, version 2019.1*

GREAT APP!  LOVE THIS

### 5/5 — Won’t update on Apple Watch

*2020-07-06, version 2019.1*

This app would be amazing and a great help to me if it would update with an Apple Watch complication. I read reviews that are two years old where the developer says he’s going to fix it or it has been fixed, but it still doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Great useful site...

*2020-06-24, version 2019.1*

Very useful for my work...

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2024-03-16, version 2019.1*

When the Julian calendar switched to Gregorian in Oct 1582 ten days were subtracted due to their calculations which were the reason for switching calendars. Also the first day of the year in the Julian calendar was the first full moon in april and it was always a monday.

### 1/5 — Date on watch runs a day behind until refreshed.

*2020-10-25, version 2019.1*

So close to being my perfect dream of an app, but for some reason after the first few days it begun living a day behind at all times for the date but with the correct Julian date, issue is fixed when swapping the app for something else and then back. No idea how to report issue but here but will happily change to 5 stars if fixed!

### 1/5 — iwatch

*2020-08-19, version 2019.1*

This app is ok, it will be awesome if my Julian date actually updates every day on my iwatch watch face. I actually have the newest version of iwatch. It stays in the same date I downloaded it the first time. I actually have to click on the watch face app to see the present Julian date or else it will show the old julian date. It gets stuck in the old date. It be nice if it changed when the actual day changes. Please fix ASAP.

### 1/5 — Regular date s incorrect

*2020-08-10, version 2019.1*

When synced to my Apple Watch, while the Jillian date is correct the regular date is wrong.

### 1/5 — Wrong date displayed

*2020-07-07, version 2019.1*

This is showing the wrong Julian date, it is one day in advance, I presume that is something to do with a leap year. It makes the app useless.

### 1/5 — Watch Complication Stopped Working :(

*2018-10-16, version 3.0.1*

Got iPhone XSMax and after watch application crashes and won’t update.  Very frustrating and needed for work.  Please fix!

### 1/5 — Watch complication disappeared

*2018-09-30, version 3.0.1*

I’ve used this app for last year and it’s been great. New update has made the complication on my Apple Watch disappear. I’ve updated everything but can’t get it to appear again.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2018-02-12, version 2.3.1*

Junk. It does not advance on my iPhone SE

### 1/5 — Doesn't work properly

*2017-07-13, version 2.2*

The one thing it's supposed to do it doesn't. Not good; at least not right now.

### 2/5 — I like the complication

*2020-10-19, version 2019.1*

The complication for the Apple Watch helps
Me with my job, as we use Julian dates. But there is an issue, the complication doesn’t update the date. The Julian number changes but the calendar date doesn’t change. I have to change to another complication then change it back to get the date to show correctly.

### 5/5 — Helpful!

*2026-07-17, version 2019.1*

Really helpful for tracking goal progress against passage of the year. I wish it would auto refresh every time it opened. Ex: if you opened the app yesterday and click it again today without force-closing, it will show still have yesterday highlighted as today.

### 5/5 — App idea

*2026-03-18, version 2019.1*

Consider live julian date on app icon so it is quickly visible. Like the apple clock, you can see without opening app. Icon shows 330 jd.

### 5/5 — Watch Complication is Amazing!

*2025-02-17, version 2019.1*

I saw a lot of mixed reviews on this but decided to give it a try for myself. I'm an Air Force pilot and use the Julian date to verify the currency of maintenance when doing my preflight. Having today's Julian date on my Apple Watch face is a total game changer. Thank you for the work you put into this app!

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2024-09-24, version 2019.1*

Very helpful, I use this calendar everyday for work.

### 5/5 — La mejor

*2024-09-18, version 2019.1*

Tengo años de utilizarla, me es muy útil en mi trabajo 🫶🏻 gracias

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-09-16, version 2019.1*

Simple et exactement ce que je cherchais!

### 5/5 — Calendar

*2024-01-30, version 2019.1*

Great easy to read app!
Thanks!

### 5/5 — Serves the purpose

*2023-11-10, version 2019.1*

Serves the purpose

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-06-25, version 2019.1*

Wish the app icon would display the current Julian date.

### 5/5 — Excelente aplicación

*2023-02-14, version 2019.1*
