Love that I can customize the colors so I only see my own. ### 3/5 — I’ve already paid for this *2024-02-11, version 5.1* I’ve already paid for this and I’ve been using it for years, now all of a sudden it won’t let me put in my itineraries. It’s telling me that I have to re purchase this app, please fix this for me ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-04-16, version 5.1* My hubby works for the post office and it’s so much easier to plan events when I can just pull up his “days off” calendar. May check out the custom events option. Is there any future plans to sync with other calendars like iCal? I would love to be able to send him invites for events that he can save on his postal cal. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-30, version 4.1* Needs to have the Juneteenth holiday updated. ### 1/5 — Update issues *2021-06-13, version 4.1* I’ve tried multiple times deleting and reinstalling this app that I’ve had for years and loved after latest update and still have no dates after 11th day. No 10 shows up as well. ### 3/5 — Not working *2021-06-01, version 4.1* Hasn’t work since last update ### 5/5 — Spot on fantastic! *2021-05-31, version 4.1* New version is spectacular! Great functionality, simple to use. Love this so much, thank you! Has a few graphic issues on am iPad, but phone version is spot on. *update* graphic issue fixed in most recent update. Flawless app now ! ### 1/5 — Calendar *2021-05-28, version 4.1* The last weeks of the months have no dates on them, they have three dotes. My friends are working correctly and mine is not. ### 4/5 — Good could be great *2021-05-27, version 4.0* Very solid & useful app. If it had the ability to add notes and integrate weather it would be great. It would be helpful in a pdi if you could add mail volumes manually in a note section & maybe it was really hot or rainy and that was in there. ### 4/5 — Month & Year Not Displayed *2021-05-25, version 4.0* I just noticed the Postal Calendar got updated on my iPad mini. Hoewever, it no longer displays the month & year as shown in the preview example. What happened? Help! How do I fix this? I tried reinstalling the app and nothing happened. ## Frequently asked questions about PostalCal ### What does the PostalCal app do?
