### 4/5 — cute but need help signing up?

*2026-06-01, version 2.9.1*

hi i’m trying to sign up for the app but it won’t work :( after i put name and photo and press sign up , it says “PG::UnableToSend: no connection to the server
: SELECT 1 AS one FROM "users"
WHERE "users"" deleted_at" IS NULL AND "users" "apple_user_identifier" =
$1 LIMIT 1” please help :)

### 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

### 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.

### 3/5 — Get an error message everytime I try to create an account

*2023-06-28, version 2.9.1*

Starts with PG::unabletosend : no connection to the server. Happens when I try and submit my picture along with my first and last name

### 4/5 — One thing missing

*2023-06-08, version 2.9.1*

I'm planning a trip with my husband for our first anniversary and was looking for an app that he and I could both use to keep track of our itinerary. I loved trying out this app but unfortunately had to delete it because there was no place to put the location of everything :((( I really wanted to use this app but not be able to put the location of each event I have on the calendar really defeated the purpose. I'll have to find another app for this reason

### 2/5 — Good when it works

*2023-02-15, version 2.9.1*

My partner and I both have crazy work schedules and having a shared calendar app helps us keep things straight, plus the GIFs are cute - the app has a lot of issues though. When I try to edit an existing event, the app just glitches and quits. Sometimes my partner and I can’t see ANYTHING the other person has put in, even when we have it set to show the other person. Then we have to go back in and update or recreate the event in order for it to show up on the other’s calendar. Having a calendar together doesn’t really help if we have to constantly ask “can you see my work dates on the calendar this week? They’re XYZ” I’d also like to be able to put in locations and notes for the events - a feature to add addresses would help us a lot, as would a space to add notes like “remember gift,” “black tie,” etc.  We might try a different app until this one gets some fine tuning.

### 2/5 — good but glitchy ?

*2023-01-12, version 2.8.6*

my partner and i like having a shared calendar but we have added things and they are shared with each other but they can’t see it. when this happens, we go to the share and i share and reshare with each other and then it works but that is annoying to do. it doesn’t work right the first time like 50% of the time.

### 2/5 — Time changes

*2022-12-02, version 2.8.6*

The app works well
Few bugs means it freezes every now and then but when I went to another country with a time difference all times I had given to the activities set had added extra hours to them, confusing our day once we arrived. Had to manually change the times back as there was no time zone setting on the app

### 4/5 — Nice app just small note

*2022-10-26, version 2.8.6*

I like the app & it’s features I just think its too bright & would love it if it had a dark mode for my sensitive eyes

### 3/5 — Uses existing calendars

*2022-09-25, version 2.8.6*

My wife and I were looking for an app that doesn’t just use our iphones’ Apple calendars. I assume many people looking for a separate calendar app are hoping it will be an actual calendar app, rather than an app that imports your existing calendar and essentially extends it with features / tools. Maybe some people will want exactly what this app offers and for that it has quite a nice design.

### 3/5 — The app was great for awhile until some features were removed

*2022-07-06, version 2.8.5*

My fiancé and I have been using this app for maybe 6 months, and we’ve been loving it. It crashes from time to time and it sometimes doesn’t show the dates, but that’s rare. Recently, they removed the “invite” functionally in hopes that you pay for the service. If the app was more consistent, it might be worth it, but it’s hard to justify paying when it isn’t 100%

### 3/5 — Missing feature

*2022-06-01, version 2.8.3*

Love the app and so many of the features make it really unique (we’ve tried many similar apps but they’re all a very basic, generic calendar format). This would have been a brilliant improvement on what we have been using but unfortunately we can’t set custom repeats on events (we need every 8 days) in order to plan shift work etc. Without that facility, we won’t be able to use the app.

### 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. 🙏🏾

### 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.

### 1/5 — I could see their information but they couldn't see mine

*2022-10-05, version 2.8.6*

Unable to share my information, log in or delete the app to log in.I will update if I'm able to fix this

### 1/5 — too complicated

*2022-08-26, version 2.8.6*

!!! hard to use

### 1/5 — It was great up until i cant invite my bf to things

*2022-07-01, version 2.8.4*

Isn’t that literally the whole point? And now you guys want us to pay for that? It used to work before and now i cant unless I pay. Its ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Dates not matching up

*2022-06-03, version 2.8.3*

My partners whole calendar shows off by a day compared to mine and it makes the app confusing

### 1/5 — LGBT Oriented

*2022-06-03, version 2.8.3*

There are photo showing 2 mens hugging. Bad influence for kids and community. I have to remove. Sorry

Thank you.

*2023-02-09, version 2.9*

Love

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2022-08-24, version 2.8.6*

I have tried few calendar apps and Raft is by far the best and it makes scheduling with my partner and our friends much more convenient and easier for everyone. However, I really hope that there will be widgets support coming to this app soon! 
Highly recommend with ur partner & close friends.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2022-08-24, version 2.8.6*

Really loving the UI and how much details I can add to each event. Will keep trying out this app with my partner to see if he would like it as much as I do! Kudos to the developers and keep up the excellent work!

### 5/5 — Monthly view?

*2022-06-06, version 2.8.3*

I can’t find a way to do a monthly view. The app looks good, and I would like to try it out, but I need to see more than a week at a time. If there is, I will change my rating to a five.

It does have a monthly view.  Quick response from the developer.

### 5/5 — My Fiancé and I are huge fans ✨

*2021-10-25, version 2.7.3*

Bryce and I have busy lives. As busy creatives living in a eventful city Raft has been so instrumental to our planning, communication and understanding! Plus the design and features are so cute and aesthetic. Love the fun gif and search options. 
Totally recommend this app to all roommates, families and lovers out there. ✌🏼

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-09-02, version 2.7.2*

Great way to stay organized and keep in touch
