*2026-06-01, version 2.9.1*

: SELECT 1 AS one FROM "users"
WHERE "users"" deleted_at" IS NULL AND "users" "apple_user_identifier" =
$1 LIMIT 1” please help :)

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-12-17, version 2.9.1*

App worked pretty good for a couple months, but now, after I purchased my wife a new phone, it will not allow her to sign in (error message) and it stopped updating me of her plans a month ago. All of her appointments have been lost . Regret depending on technology
Update: App is STILL NOT WORKING.. Has so much potential though

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2024-12-16, version 2.9.1*

downloaded to use, tried to make an account and kept getting the message invalid curve bame

### 1/5 — Undefined: nilclass error

*2024-12-11, version 2.9.1*

Loved using this app for my daily schedule. However, it has stopped working for me. I am able to download it. But as soon as I start Setting up my profile and click finish, I get an error saying undefined: nilclass error Which I dont understand what it means. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app but the Same problem happens. Whether I sign up through Facebook or my Apple Account, I encounter the Same issue. I got a new iPhone (iPhone 16) and I noticed this issue when I got my new phone that I lost all my old stuff and I cant start a new session. Would love some help so I can enjoy using this app again. It was awesome for schedule control and sharing with my partner. This is a five star app. I am only giving it a 1 at the moment so I hope it catches the developer or IT attention. I would like my issue addressed so I can use the app again. 🙏🏾

### 2/5 — App not working in IPhone 16

*2024-12-09, version 2.9.1*

I got a new iPhone and the app just doesn’t open which is frustrating as I used with my partner fully and now I don’t how to transfer all the data

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-10-11, version 2.9.1*

Can’t see anyone else calendar

### 1/5 — Calendar not updating for each other

*2024-10-11, version 2.9.1*

Fired up this calendar again thinking that after a year the developers would have had time to fix the issues of not being able to remove reoccurring events and now I find that my partner and I can’t even see any recent events that we have added. I would be happy to pay for a product that works, but seeing basic things not work (like deleting an event) make me doubt that it’s worth giving up money for this app. Maybe I’ll consider it again if these are fixed within the next month, but I’m going to start looking for alternatives.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t open with ios 18

*2024-10-06, version 2.9.1*

The app was good for what it was meant for, but it doesn’t open anymore with ios18.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-03-30, version 2.9.1*

I loved the UX and the theme colors , 
In terms of functionality it’s a great product

### 5/5 — Best planning app I’ve used

*2023-12-05, version 2.9.1*

This app is fun and great and my co workers and I are having a blast updating our schedules while staying on top of important items and keeping eachother informed without actually having to call eachother.
