Sometimes I click on the notes in that particular days calendar and it takes me to a blank page for that day. I have to close the app and open it again and it keeps doing it for that particular day. It's very frustrating! ### 2/5 — Love the idea...keeps crashing *2017-01-10, version 1.7.7* Trying to add an event and it crashes every time. I hope it gets fixed soon. I really like the layout of the app. I won't delete it yet. ### 3/5 — Could be great. *2016-11-18, version 1.7.7* Let me first start by saying I like the design in Layout of this app. I encountered a bug when trying to add something to the previous day for record keeping. When I tap and hold to enter an item, the app crashes every time. If this were fixed I would give it a five star rating. ### 2/5 — Handy and good potential, but... *2016-11-15* Only had this app for less than 24 hours, but find the following annoying: • in WEEK and TODAY views the colours associated with my iCal are often wrong • no recurrent options for TO-DO • TO-DO entries are not date specific!! Items on my list today appear on each day in the future. Entries made on a date in the future, show up on today's list! 😕 ### 5/5 — Many review, such knowledge *2016-10-07, version 1.7.7* It's a great app. Only one to combine all items in one place and that why I love it. ### 3/5 — Best Planner but crashes sometimes *2016-08-13, version 1.7.7* I love this app! It's so easy to schedule things. However, sometimes when I try and add an appointment the whole app will close. ### 2/5 — Crashes...a lot *2016-06-05, version 1.7.7* I love the way this app has side by side todo lists and syncs with the iCal. However, I deleted it almost immediately due to it crashing three times while trying to view my newly synced calendar. ### 2/5 — Bad *2016-04-17* The idea is good but the app jus doesn't work. I can't delete any events. I've clearly checked the calendars I want to show and I get Holidays and birthday calendars showing up when they are not checked. I'm deleting. Just too many things not what they are supposed to be. Bye bye app :( ### 2/5 — Crash! *2016-04-11* App crashes. I don't agree with the comments below that it's not for iOS 8 & above. I have iOS 9 but this crashes. I am unable to add any schedule to the calendar. Whatever I type in just disappears immediately. It would make a great app if it worked. ### 2/5 — Nice concept *2016-04-10, version 1.7.7* I like the idea of calendar, todos and notes on one page, but only the calendar syncs with the iCloud counterparts. That makes it useless for me. I have other apps/uses that require full datebook integration. If this used the iCloud reminders database I could rate it more highly. As is, points for creativity but deleted from my phone. ### 2/5 — Good idea but app crashes *2016-04-10, version 1.7.7* Just downloaded and love the layout but app crashes when I try and add an event. Really?! I would give 5 stars if it worked properly but am disappointed. Please update the app so it can be used and loved by many! ### 2/5 — not impressed *2016-03-30, version 1.7.7* Oh, come on - no landscape mode? Nothing I like better than having a week or a month crammed into a small portrait display. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Parker planner calendar *2019-12-29* Very disappointed and almost impossible so far to find a stand alone calendar that does not require adding all info from another calendar . Need separate calendars for personal to do and scheduling and separate calendar for side job and family activities . Most the calendar apps require to merge another calendars information . If that can be avoided please let me know . ### 1/5 — $20 a year for this? *2017-01-28, version 1.7.7* You've got to be kidding. This app doesn't even function properly & you want yo move to a subscription model? How do I get my money back? ### 1/5 — Wish it worked *2017-01-16, version 1.7.7* I love the concept, unfortunately the calendar will not allow me to add anything. Which makes it useless. ### 1/5 — Won't even open *2017-01-10, version 1.7.7* You'd think that, before putting an app on a freebie app promotion, you might want to make sure it works. But apparently not; this one doesn't even open, just crashes straight back to the home screen every time. ### 1/5 — Crash👎 *2016-07-27, version 1.7.7* Crash in iOS 7.1.2 ### 1/5 — Outdated *2016-04-10* Looks like this is formatted for older phones; the layout is vertically stretched and hard to read. Can't see why I'd use this over Calendar or Fantastical. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-03-12, version 1.7.7* Just downloaded. Crashes as soon as I click on a time. Maybe not compatible with other calendar apps or something. ### 1/5 — iOS7 TERRIBLE *2016-02-17* Clearly says it is designed for iOS7 & above. WRONG. Instant crash on launch. NOT for iOS7. Probably 8 & higher. Too bad. Looks like a decent app. ### 1/5 — Iphone6 plus - too many crash *2015-04-01, version 1.7.4* As some one said in review below. Fix crash and get 5 stars. You know it and still not fixing it. Don't sleep over it. It's a very good app but too many crashes irritates and forces one to delete it. ### 1/5 — Crash *2015-02-25, version 1.7.4* I just loaded this app. I added one appointment and now every time I try to add something new it crashes. Darn, this looks like it could be awesome especially because it syncs with my calendar. Fix it please. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is a magnificent app! *2018-10-05, version 1.7.8* Best to do, notes and calendar. I been using all my life a product call “Daytimer” what I really like about this is than I have the beautiful habit of writing down everything is needed to be done, no excuses no nothing if is up to me it must be pre-pared in a practical, win-win situation for all involved.
