Excellent Callender

I’ve had Packet Informant for about 7 or 8 years now and it’s been awesome. There is a learning curve, but it’s been well worth it. Before deciding with this calendar, looked at a lot of different options, and this was by far the best. Love that you can use the GTD & Calendar together. There are too many great features to try to explain.

Plantage

J’utilise l’application depuis de nombreuses années. D’ailleurs esthétiquement ça se sent et un vrai toilettage sera utile.
Surtout depuis le passage à la v6 chaque tentative de mettre/changer/supprimer la couleur d’une case du calendrier entraîne le plantage systématique de l’appli. Je perds ainsi la possibilité de rendre très visible certains jours particulièrement importants. Et les mises à jour n’y change rien.

Colored days

The iOS 27 version is highly unstable. Won’t let you remove or change color of days. I deleted and re installed stalled and now all the colors of my days have disappeared, very disappointed been using this app for years and have been a paid subscriber and now I have lost a lot of data.

Support has tanked

I supported this company from very early on and bought the desktop version also even when in beta. Now I can’t delete it and have asked support for help over and over and they just keep sending me a how to that solves nothing. Used to get responses from actually thinking humans. In the meantime I keep getting a pop up every few seconds that keeps obstructing my work and no help to resolve the issue.

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.
