### 2/5 — Looks good, but buggy

*2026-08-27, version 1.35*

No option to set # of viewable lines per entry. Sometimes you see 2 or 3 lines, other times just 1. No rhyme or reason. Not being able to see the full 2 line title in week view is a deal-breaker, so now looking for a replacement. The average app allows the full week view; hence, 2 stars here for below average.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-29, version 1.35*

Love how this app is set out, reading it great . Keep
It up thank you creator

### 5/5 — Add reminders please

*2026-06-25*

Hi! I would like ask to add synchronisation with Apple Reminders, the ability to close these tasks without opening them (just by clicking on the circle in the calendar for one week) and the ability to add events / tasks not a plus, but simply by clicking on the free space below (for a specific day)
 🙏

### 4/5 — 很喜欢这个app

### 5/5 — Move Tasks to Tomorrow Feature

*2026-04-09*

Hello,

I’ve been using your app very well and really enjoy it. However, there is a feature I would like to suggest.

If I’m unable to complete all of today’s tasks, it would be very helpful to have a function that allows me to select them all at once and move them to tomorrow.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — I hope the software adds a language setting function. I need Chinese interface.

*2026-04-07*

### 5/5 — Verbindung mit neuem iPad?

*2026-03-28*
