### 3/5 — Simon

*2022-10-17, version 3.4*

It’s a pity the app doesn’t give you the number of days left that you have in your bank as it were

### 3/5 — Review

*2022-10-08, version 3.4*

Review

### 2/5 — Restricted in value

*2022-09-12, version 3.4*

It's fine for telling you if your past and future travel is legal, but useless for what-if's. You are completely in the dark about how many days you have left if you want to change your plans. A good effort but could be so much better.

### 2/5 — Poor interface, not worth the subscription

*2022-07-21, version 3.4*

My friend pointed me to this app. I was hesitant as I use the free EU web page but I was hoping that this app would be easier to use and provide a good summary of data. It doesn’t. 
You cannot edit data, you have to delete and re-enter. The UI is one calendar with an associated data entry page. Pretty poor for something that is asking for a monthly subscription. 
To credit the dev, there is a 3 day free period to decide if you feel it is worth the subscription.

### 2/5 — Not scheduling correctly 2023

*2022-06-09, version 3.4*

I’ve been using the app for the past few months and all well, however just noticed that it’s not  calculating correctly my dates for 2023, it is restricting dates which are clearly 180days from previous bookings. Something is wrong and slightly disappointed that it’s not working correctly.
Thanks

### 3/5 — Could be perfect

*2022-05-07, version 3.4*

This app gives a clear calendar view which is colour coded, once you have entered your past trips and planned trips, but it does not warn you over a potential overstay. You can put dates in which take you over your 90 days and the app does not alert you. If you may frequent visits, this is not helpful.

### 1/5 — Question re 6 months versus 180 days

*2022-03-23, version 3.3*

A previous reviewer commented that the App used 6 months for calculations and not 180 days. 
Having just downloaded, the preamble regarding usage refers to 6 months. Please clarify?

### 2/5 — Why only 90 days in a year?

*2022-03-20, version 3.3*

I bpught a subscription this morning. Entered first 2022 stay in France of 52 days late March to mid May. So far so good. But when I tried to enter an 89 day stay from mid July the app would only allow 38 days, and nothing thereafter til the end of the year. That makes 90 days for the whole year, which cannot be right. Or have I misunderstood?

### 2/5 — Good app but now only available with subscription

*2022-03-02, version 3.3*

I liked this app but now you sadly have to pay a subscription to use it :(

### 1/5 — Does not calculate correctly

*2022-02-23, version 3.2*

The 90/180 day rule applies in a sliding date system but this app appears to simply count in 90 days then out 90 days in blocks. It doesn’t expire dates sequentially.

### 1/5 — Also puzzled !

*2022-02-21, version 3.2*

I inputted my data and days were greyed out that simply could not be correct.

Maybe the problem is mine,
But I could not make it work!

I unsubscribed before the 7 day trial expired

### 1/5 — Unreliable & inaccurate

*2025-11-16, version 3.10*

Arrived in Denmark with the planner calendar showing that we were allowed another 8 days in the Schengen area. We had booked to stay for 5. I admit the planner did say we had used 87 of our 90 day allowance but I considered it must be OK  based on the planners calendar availability. Danish border control said no, we were only allowed to stay for 3 and could not understand why the planning calendar showed the 8 day availability. We had to cut our stay to 3 days and book another flight home & hotel was non refundable. We were very upset and very angry with the app. I won’t be using the app in the future!!!

### 1/5 — Not free

*2023-09-03, version 3.6*

This is not a free app. There is no version to use without payment.

### 1/5 — U gotta pay for it

*2023-07-26*

U gotta pay once u download the app

**Developer response:** Hi Owe.vee! Thank you for using the app!
Our model is subscription, so you can choose the period you like.
Bon voyages!

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2023-07-25, version 3.6*

It should say on the front screen of the App Store that this is not free

### 1/5 — Awful - keeps losing the data

*2023-04-05, version 3.6*

As the title says, keeps losing the data. What’s the point of this if it doesn’t work?

### 1/5 — Now a subscription

*2023-02-17, version 3.6*

Used to be free.  Not worth the subscription. Much better ones out there.  Excel works as well, if not better than this app.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-01-28, version 3.6*

It doesn’t work. I just paid and only get a screen with a login! Wt?

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-11-07, version 3.4*

Paid £3.49 for the app and it doesn’t work. Doesn’t let you input dates.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-07-11, version 3.4*

Very objectionable moving from a free app to a paid that provided *no* functionality at all without payment. 

If you want to release a paid app then do so, but don’t resort to this type of underhand trickery.

### 1/5 — Confused

*2022-05-01, version 3.4*

Have used this app against another two on a laptop and yours does not agree with the others ie dates allowed back. Having paid for this app and the others are free, to say I am unhappy is an understatement. Having to rate something with a star when unhappy is a bit of a contradiction

### 5/5 — Best of the bunch

*2023-07-30, version 3.6*

Overall this seems to be the best Schengen app for planning (I’ve tried them all!), the whole calendar view is great, others have either no calendar or just a month either side, to be perfect, PLEASE add the ability to edit the dates of a trip without deleting and re entering the whole trip, just making the trip dates editable in the details screen with a scroll wheel would be great, and also the ability to add an optional note on each trip would be great. As someone else said, a small number alongside each date on the larger view calendar to show how many days are available would make it easier to see the length of trip that’s possible at any time, obviously taking into account past and future trips. At the moment I can see when travel would be possible but have to add the trip to see if there’s enough availability for a week or just a day.

### 5/5 — 2024??

*2022-11-26, version 3.4*

Can’t go past Dec 2023

### 5/5 — Good but could be better

*2022-08-27, version 3.4*

Needs a running total count
Needs ability to edit dates rather than trying to tap on start and end dates

Otherwise okay

### 5/5 — Useful but could be better

*2022-07-07, version 3.4*

It would be good if you could edit/amend bookings and also would be nice to see how many day’s you have available at anytime

### 5/5 — Just the job

*2022-04-22, version 3.4*

Easy to use when planning trips to Europe

### 5/5 — Further review

*2022-02-04, version 3.2*

I rated this app as only 1 star. The developer contacted me regarding the issue as he could not replicate it. The error was my own, iCloud Drive was turned off on my phone. I have not had any reason to turn it on previously. The app now works very well and I can recommend it.

### 4/5 — Croatia

*2022-12-08, version 3.4*

Croatia needs to be added before I can properly calculate next year’s allowance

### 4/5 — Useful app for frequent visitors

*2022-10-17, version 3.4*

Shows a calendar overview and shows clearly how many days in the future you can still enter Schengen.  It might be an improvement if you could edit the length of each trip rather than delete them.  Also would be nice to have a list of trips with a “title” for each trip.

### 4/5 — Awful since having to pay

*2022-05-10, version 3.4*

I downloaded this app when it was free, and it worked perfectly…..however, since having to pay £3.49 for a years subscription, the app has been awful! It’s not saving any edits I have made to a trip I had to change flight dates on, and it’s not saving any future trip dates either! I know £3.49 isn’t a lot of money, but the app definitely is not good value! 
*UPDATE*
Thank you for your swift response to my review! You were right, I’m not very tech savvy, it turns out there was a problem with my iCloud! The app now seems to be working perfectly! Fabulous! Thanks again!

### 4/5 — A lot easier to use than the Schengen Calculator on Excel!

*2022-04-08, version 3.4*

I am travelling back & forth to Spain to a 2nd home & have several months til my visa will be sorted so I was really struggling to keep count with the rolling months so this app works perfectly for me. I have put in all days spent in Schengen & also my future trips & it has shown me that I can’t spend as much time as I intended to so that alone makes it worth paying for in my case!
