Too complicated to set up

I’ve tried the full version of this app twice. Both times it just frustrates me with the amount of complication and terrible training. And then there are errors just entering times. Ugh! This is more labor than other solutions.

버그

도대체 앱 업데이트 할 때마다 테스트 안하시나요??? APP 업데이트 하고 나니까 이미 유료로 구매해 잘 쓰던 계정인데 아무 내용도 나오지 않고, 자물쇠 채워진 상태로 돈 내라는 말만 나오네요
버그가 있는걸 알았으면 대응이라도 삐르게 하던가

Support no longer responds and the app is now constantly failing

I have been using this app for about a decade and I have been an annual subscriber for almost as long.

I have hundreds and hundreds of contact management tasks for my business in here.

The app has been glitching over the last several weeks. I have reached out through their support feature to get help to try to restore the app to working form. There have been zero responses from the Support area.

It would appear that there is no one left in the company to support the app and to support its features and users. I am now left in a position where I will have to reestablish a decade of contact management notes into another system.

After spending the better part of $1000 on this app, as well as on any additional features that they have provided, this is an unbelievable disappointment to be left with no one willing to assist a long time paying user.

I would strongly discourage paying for this app if it is no longer supported by the company.

Apple should do due diligence to find out what is going on here.

App is changing for the worse!

With this recent change I can’t even enter a date in the task box without the actual date changing to that specific date. This is NOT the behavior that it was, not should be. In addition some while back they took away the ability to swipe on the left side and bring up a quick monthly scroll bar so you can quickly choose a date within a given month. This should for sure be reconsidered for us iPad users. Hopefully the next upcoming release addresses these items, else I’ll be finding another calendar planner before the year is up.

Excellent calendar and task app but…

The app works well on my iPhone and iPads, but doesn’t seem to sync my apple calendar and task lists on my MacBook Pro’s (M3 and M5). I have tried for several days and just haven’t been able to get it to work at all.

Not reliable

I used this cake we faithfully for years and today I open it up like normal and all my information, bills, plans and birthdays have been deleted.

Great All In One Calendar/Planner app

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for your feature-rich calendar and planner application. I have integrated this app across all my Apple devices, and the synchronization has been instrumental in maintaining a balance between my professional and personal responsibilities.

While I have been a user for many years, I have more fully utilized its comprehensive features recently. I am consistently impressed by the range of options available. The application’s versatility allows it to accommodate my various workflows, and I have found great value in testing each feature to understand its full potential to fit my workflow. Specifically, the Project feature has become essential to my calendar organization, allowing me to categorize and manage both work and home tasks efficiently.

Furthermore, I would like to commend your team for the exceptional support I have received. On the few occasions I encountered an issue, the response was prompt and the resolutions were effective.

Thank you for developing such a high-quality tool and for providing excellent service.

Locked out of premium features

After using this app for many years I have suddenly found myself locked out of the premium features despite having a recurring annual subscription. Likely a fault from an app update I suspect. This is very frustrating.

Update: the latest app update seems to have resolved this issue.

pls fix widgets!!

loveeee this app but the widget doesn't work with latest IOS updates- i love being able to see my calendar on my homescreen but it is just blank 😕

Something broke overnight

I’ve been a yearly pro subscriber for YEARS. I use this app every. single. day. I woke up this morning, opened it up and all of my data has completely disappeared. Matter of fact when I open the app it asks me if I want to subscribe and all my subscription features are now locked, but my yearly subscription renewed back in March 2026 and it was working fine up until this morning. I have no idea what happened. I tried to contact support to no avail. I can’t even get their website to work. Now I’m slumming it with the awful IOS calendar and reminder apps. What’s going on Pocket Informant?!

Blocked

Have been using this app for years & have a paid annual subscription that lasts another 2 months. Today the app had blocked my access to all my tasks & reduced Calendar access to that of the unpaid app. Will not be renewing in August.

6.03 update messed up mine

Ever since the 6.03 update I’m completely locked out of everything I pay for. It’s completely useless because it’s been reduced to a simple calendar which I can any other one. If they’re not fix this soon (apparently it’s been going on for a few weeks now) then I will be looking for another calendar app that is more reliable.

Response from developer

소중한 의견을 보내주셔서 감사합니다. 특히 유료 구독 중인 상태에서 업데이트 후 데이터나 기능에 접근할 수 없게 되어 겪으셨을 불편함과 답답함에 대해 깊이 공감하며, 진심으로 사과드립니다. 저희는 정식 출시 전 철저한 테스트를 거치고 있으나, 안타깝게도 이번 문제는 테스트 과정에서 발견되지 않아 업데이트 배포 후 일부 사용자분들께 영향을 미치게 되었습니다. 문제 보고 직후 저희 팀은 즉시 원인을 파악하여 해결책을 마련했고, 버전 6.04를 통해 수정 사항을 배포했습니다. 최신 버전으로 업데이트하시면 콘텐츠 및 프리미엄 기능을 다시 정상적으로 이용하실 수 있습니다. 만약 업데이트 후에도 문제가 지속된다면 고객 지원팀으로 연락해 주시기 바랍니다. 성심껏 도와드리겠습니다.-----Thank you for the feedback. We understand how frustrating it would be to lose access to your data and features after an update, especially with an active subscription, and we sincerely apologize for that experience. We do test our releases before they are published, but unfortunately this issue was not identified during testing and affected some users after the update was released. Once reported, our team immediately investigated, identified the cause, and released a fix in version 6.04. Please update to the latest version, as this should restore access to your content and premium features. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our support team and we will be happy to help.

Current update breaks subscription

The current version of podcast informant Has broken its ability to recognize an active subscription, which is made the app much less useful despite my having paid for a subscription for many years. I’ve reached support multiple multiple times over the past 24 hours and have not received either a solution or a response at all. Everly on this app for many years, but this lack of testing and the incredible lack of response to outreach is extremely frustrating.

New update broke the app

I can’t see my tasks because the app says i gotta pay for the subscription, but i already have one active. I tried to subscribe again but it didnt fix it

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this, and we apologize for the frustration. We recently identified and fixed an issue that could cause Pocket Informant to incorrectly lock features for users with active subscriptions. The fix has been released in version 6.04. Please update to the latest version and verify that your tasks and premium features are accessible again. If the issue persists, please contact our support team and we'll be happy to help. Thank you for your patience, feedback, and for using Pocket Informant.

Can’t use all function if you paid

I have a subscription, today APP was updated by automatically, after that I can't use the paid features and function. I can’t see my tasks now so pls fix bag ASAP.

All of a sudden I'm locked out of the app

I am paid until December, and today I'm all of a sudden locked out of the app, I can't access my tasks which I need to see what I have assigned to do on each day… Very frustrating… And I paid $50 subscription fee and previously when the app first came out I paid for it outright… And now it's saying it's $42 annually so this is just not good

No customer support

Every year they stop my premium subscription 8 days before it is set to auto renew. And every year I have to try to track down support to get my app, which I paid for, to work again. This year however, they won’t respond, so I have no way to get it fixed. I don’t have time to deal with their theft of something I paid for.
