Now it asked for me to restore purchases - I do. It will not restore, and the support team is sleeping, days n days before they get back to you. with zero help. I’d move on! not buy. ### 1/5 — Wow money grabbing! *2024-10-27, version 4.1.0* What was once an amazingly simple but needed app has from nowhere banged on a subscription price of £8.99 week, yes you read correctly. Had this app when first reviewed on MacStories a couple years ago atleast and now with no explanation a huge money grab fee has been added. Shame on you greedy developers. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-10-07* I'm using this app since long and it was working well but after updating to ios 18 this app seems useless, developers aren't responding to email queries and app has started showing video advertisements in purchased versions?!! What's wrong?!! ### 1/5 — Everything is Duplicated *2024-09-02, version 4.0.2* I changed the color of the Reminders calendar in iCal and then the next time it synced every reminder was duplicated. I deleted the additional calendar twice and it just keeps coming back. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-05-05, version 4.0.1* All calender, Include Icloud and Outlook are restricted ### 2/5 — Synchronisation mangelhaft *2024-04-10* Leider werden regelmäßige Termine nicht vollständig übernommen. Auch sind doppelte Erfassungen möglich beim Laden der App auf mehreren Geräten ### 3/5 — Not bad *2024-03-25, version 3.0* I'd like to be able to change the name from "reminders". Also, I'd like the option to sync specific reminders lists rather than the whole thing. ### 5/5 — Time boxing *2024-03-25, version 3.0* Excellent app to add my reminders to the calendar. Light weight, does exactly what it promises. Allows me to use it for time boxing. ### 5/5 — Yes *2024-03-17, version 3.0* Does what reminders and calendar should do awsome. ### 1/5 — Doesn't open *2024-03-10* Don't purchase, this app doesn't even open on my mac without crashing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — total piece of garbage *2026-05-20, version 4.0.2* the built in reminder app from Apple is unbelievably obnoxious to use. it’s so bad it’s like a marketing campaign for third party reminder apps even if you have to pay for them. This one is free with the computer but its interface is so uselessly obnoxious and unintuitive you basically have to get a new app ### 1/5 — Keeps Synching after I delete remnders *2026-04-16, version 4.0.2* It seemed immediately with my reminders, but I decided I didn't want them there so I deleted them in the calendar and low and behold 30 seconds later go back again because it keeps re-syncing and I don't know how to stop it garbage ### 1/5 — I already paid for this app. Now it wants $8.99 a week just to function without full screen ads. *2026-03-05, version 4.1.1* Like other reviewers have said, this is a total bait-and-switch. Totally ruined the app. ### 1/5 — Wow money grabbing! *2025-05-25, version 4.1.1* What was once an amazingly simple but needed app has from nowhere banged on a subscription price of £6.99 week, yes you read correctly. Had this app when first reviewed on MacStories a couple years ago atleast and now with no explanation a huge money grab fee has been added. Shame on you greedy developers. ### 1/5 — New update is bait and switch *2025-03-24, version 4.1.0* The latest update introduces tons of ads and breaks the Shortcuts automation. I paid for this app, and now it wants $6.99/week to remove ads. ### 1/5 — Letdown - don’t waste your time and money *2025-01-06, version 4.1.0* I paid for this app when it first came out and was quite enthusiastic, being assured by the then developer that 2-way syncing between Reminders and Calendar was in development. The app now seems to have been transferred to another developer and I am being asked to pay again, with no apparent way to restore my purchase, and I am being plagued with ads. I raised this with the developers weeks ago. It still doesn’t sync 2 ways and since my purchase Apple has built what I needed into its native apps so ReminderCal has been deleted from my devices. ### 1/5 — Publicity *2024-12-29* I bought lifetime version, but starting this month i could not retrieve my purchase ### 1/5 — Boycott subscriptions, please!! *2024-12-17* I paid the app some months ago and…….it became a subscription app out of the blue. Shame on you developer! The app was nice but NOT ESSENTIAL AND THE SUBSCRIPTION MODEL IS POINTLESS. Do you really think your app will survive? Farewell baby. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-11-11, version 4.1.0* Stole 5$ from me ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-11-10* Stole 5$ from me ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Réveil moi *2025-10-08, version 4.1.1* Je suis prête ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-06, version 4.1.1* Good ### 5/5 — Ton *2025-09-19, version 4.1.1* Herri ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-09-23, version 4.0.2* Awesome app, works as advertised. Request: I set up an automation in Shortcuts to run the sync when I close Reminders. Sometimes I get the error “Object not found” from Shortcuts. Would really appreciate if this could be fixed. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great App for offline usage *2024-09-19, version 4.0.2* With the new IOS 18 feature Apple can now move the reminders to the calendar. Before the update, I was using this app and loved it. ### 5/5 — This app was great *2024-09-18, version 4.0.2* It looks like iOS 18 has made this app obsolete but I wanted to come give it a good review since I loved it so much. It did everything I needed it to perfectly. ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2024-08-05, version 4.0.2* I loved seeing my reminders in the Calendar, so I get a much better sense of what my day will look like. I also really appreciate that the app is fully offline. Definitely worth the purchase! ### 5/5 — Simple et fonctionnel *2024-06-09* J'ai enfin trouvé ce que je cherchais ! Merci ### 5/5 — Ultimate productivity app *2024-06-02* This is a magic wand for me. Saving a lot of time fore me. Just take a time for integration this into the daily routine. But price is too high for this small app. Nevertheless thanks to the developers. ### 5/5 — Empfehlung *2024-04-26* Eine gute Möglichkeit, Erinnerungen in den Kalender zu übertragen. Synchronisation funktioniert zuverlässig zwischen iPhone, iPad und Mac. Eintragungen in iPhone und iPad ohne Probleme, auch Änderungen oder löschen kein Problem auf iPhone und iPad. Allerdings gelingt es nicht, einen Eintrag, den man auf dem Mac macht, auf alle Geräte zu übertragen. Auch mit Hilfe der Kurzbefehle ist es nicht gelungen. Schade. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
