### 3/5 — На iPhone не дотягивает

*2026-06-28, version 1.5*

Пользовалась приложением на Андройд. Все супер, но Добно, классно. При переходе на iPhone долго мучалась, приложение платное, с ограничениями текущими не скачать. Наконец то скачала. Но приложение не работает полноценно. Цвет схемы не меняется, все время черное, кнопок на виджете нет. В общем бесплатная версия Андройд была намного круче. А сейчас не понимаю, за что заплатила((

### 2/5 — Insatisfaisant

*2026-04-27*

Je ne pas très satisfait de cet achat. Je viens de passer à iOS mais la version androïde même gratuite) est bien plus agréable à utiliser

### 4/5 — Good app but needs changes

*2025-11-03, version 1.5*

Overlay great  app but the widget background cannot change and also cannot be transparent.

### 4/5 — Settings don’t work

*2025-09-08, version 1.5*

Great app. Use it every day BUT settings are not working right now. It’s just default all the time. Please fix soon

### 2/5 — 这边还更新吗

*2025-08-15*

安卓先买了的，这边也买了才注意到没更新了，这边有复活更新的计划吗

### 4/5 — Sooo close

*2025-07-17, version 1.5*

Really love this unique way to view your schedule. For some reason I find it less anxiety producing and almost fun. Love that you pay once and not a subscription. I love that they don’t mine your contacts, location and life for data. I wish there were more colors. I would pay extra for that!

### 4/5 — Can’t have any colors on iPhone

*2025-05-08*

I absolutely love the app and have been using the widget for two years. It is very useful. But I still can’t get the app to get the colors from my apple calendar, everything appears in the same blue color and I could’nt fix it no matter what I tried (reinstall, reload the widget, trying every options, etc.) Any solution planned ? Thank you !

### 2/5 — Colour scheme

*2025-04-23*

The app is not using the different calendar colours I set up for timeblockin, which is one of its main features. According to the settings it should be working. Disappointing for a paid app.

### 3/5 — No Dark Mode Widget

*2025-03-04*

The widget won't turn Dark Mode 😭 would LOVE for this to be fixed

### 3/5 — ウィジェットが反映されてない

*2025-02-17*

ダーク調のままで
絶対が反映されてない。

買い切りタイプでよかったです。

### 4/5 — Peut mieux faire.

*2025-01-03*

J’ai un téléphone Samsung et un iPad, j’ai acheté les deux versions et je préfère celle pour Android… je pense qu’il y a des petites améliorations à faire pour les deux versions, en espérant qu’il y ait des mis à jours

### 3/5 — Great but some options don’t work

*2024-11-13, version 1.5*

Excellent interface and app but the only visual option that the app honors is light vs. dark. Changes to hour/minute hand are ignored as is the option to not have 12 be at the top of the visual.

### 3/5 — Widget settings doesn't work

*2024-11-12, version 1.5*

Widget is not responding to changing any settings
widget color, 24h mode, events color and midnight placement can't be changed

### 1/5 — Виджет

*2024-10-24*

Не работает виджет от слова совсем. Цвет темы, минутная стрелка и режим 12/24. В настройках изменяешь - но по факту всё остаётся прежним. Ещё и платное приложение… поддержка молчит

### 3/5 — Not as good as expected

*2024-10-23*

This app was highly recommended to me, so I tried it out. Was disappointed to find less features than I anticipated. The app only syncs from your mobile calendar app, with no way to add events into the sectograph app itself, and changing the color of events must be done manually. Most frustrating was the fact that the visual graph doesn’t change when you change date, OR the events at the bottom of the screen don’t change if you scroll through the graph to a new date, so I can’t, for instance, jump to next Tuesday to get a visual idea of my commitments. Great app idea with a lot of potential but not worth paying for as it currently stands

### 1/5 — To developers

*2024-10-18, version 1.5*

Giving three stars because it’s missing the Apple Watch app. And also, needs calendar with task in the this app together… plz work on Apple Watch app. Please work on Apple Watch

### 1/5 — A joke - Needs way more options

*2026-05-19, version 1.5*

This app needs much more in the way of ability to customize its features. Instead you’re locked in with only a couple of options.  Take a look — the app is only a minuscule 2.5 MB in size. That’s a toddler’s toy! I see this app as being an opportunistic cash grab. Save your cash and look elsewhere. This app won’t function as you’re hoping it will.

### 1/5 — Clumsy - Needs more options

*2026-03-01, version 1.5*

This app needs much more in the way of ability to customize its features. Instead you’re locked in with only a couple of options. Maybe you’ll be the lucky user.

### 1/5 — No Dark Mode Widget

*2025-12-10, version 1.5*

The widget won't turn Dark Mode 😭 would LOVE for this to be fixed

Still not fixed and not updated for the new Liquid Glass either... looks terrible

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-09-27*

Настройки не сохраняются, прозрачности фона нет. За что деньги не очень понятно.

### 1/5 — Aucune mise à jour depuis 2023 et des bugs non corrigés

*2025-05-21*

l’application n’a pas été mise à jour depuis 2023. Un point important à améliorer concerne la synchronisation des couleurs des calendriers : tous les événements s’affichent en bleu clair, ce qui limite la lisibilité et la clarté de l’affichage.

J’ai partagé cette remarque avec le développeur l’an dernier. J’espère sincèrement que cette fonctionnalité pourra être corrigée ou améliorée dans une future mise à jour. L’application a beaucoup de potentiel et mérite d’évoluer également sur iOS.

### 1/5 — No watch face customization, limited settings, useless widget

*2025-03-28*

widget does not follow widget settings. No customization for task/watch colors. Just reads your apple calendar and shows stuff (ugly). Want refund

### 1/5 — Aberrant

*2025-03-26*

Version iOS limitée comparée à la version endroïd !

### 1/5 — Cannot sync properly

*2025-01-29, version 1.5*

I really wanted this app since a friend recommended it. I was able to sync it to my google calendar, change colors (manually, since it doesn't sync color categories from gcal). For a while, it worked-- until it didn't. It doesn't update from certain categories, no matter how many times I check/uncheck those options. So now I just have a beautiful shell of an app I really wanted to work. I hope I can find an alternative.

### 1/5 — Ложное описание

*2025-01-11*

Добрый день. Мне очень нравится ваше приложение. Но на скриншотах у вас показаны разные цвета. У меня же для всех событий получается один цвет с Apple календаря. Я не нашел где можно добавить Google календарь как на андроиде в ваше приложение.
Пожалуйста подскажите можно ли синхронизировать приложение с Google календарем и можно ли сделать разные цвета на циферблате?

### 1/5 — Почему не как на Андройдах?!

*2024-11-05*

Оплатила, думая, что приложение такое как в андройде. Там очень удобно. Здесь абсолютно никаких настроек:(. За что деньги-то? Дайте приложение как в андройде

### 5/5 — iOS版本求更新

*2026-05-24*

iPhone16pro没办法适配颜色变化需要跟进更新，谢谢

### 5/5 — 이런컨셉의 앱은 유일함

*2025-04-16*

개발자님 지금도 관리는 하시는거죠?  설정변경후 앱에 반영이 잘안되는것 같아요
나머지는 인터페이스 옵션추가
애플와치 추가정도만하면 완벽합니다
기능을 추가해달라는건 지금도 너무 좋다는거~
안좋으면 추가해달라고도 안해요

### 5/5 — Update

*2025-02-10, version 1.5*

Please update for ios

### 5/5 — Один цвет

*2024-11-02*

Почему на скриншотах в AppStore разные цвета событий, а по факту в приложении всё одним цветом. Будет ли это исправлено? Виджет в одном цвете не имеет смысла практически

### 5/5 — Apple Watch 앱 추가

*2024-09-19*

좋은 프로그램 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다. 매일 스케줄을 관리하는데 무척 도움이 됩니다. 그런데 아쉽게도 Apple Watch의 지원이 되지 않아 속상합니다 Apple Watch에도 지원이 된다면 시간을 효율적으로 관리하는데 무척 도움이 될 것입니다. 항상 응원합니다.

### 5/5 — Refresh

*2024-09-03, version 1.5*

App do not refresh calendar according sources. Any idea of how to manually refresh?

### 5/5 — Нет разделений по цветам !

*2024-06-24*

К сожалению , нет разделения по цветам на IOS , и все свойство данного приложения пропадает, так как все дела закрашены в один цвет , ничего не видно!

### 5/5 — Great widget to see your whole day in a glance!

*2024-02-11, version 1.5*

I’m a visual processor and struggled to stay organized with the default Calendar app/widget, however this app is the perfect way to see my day in a glance and mentally prepare for my day. 
To get the most out of this app and it’s widget, make sure you setup multiple “calendars” with different color labels in your default Apple Calendar app (for example, Work, School, Personal, etc.); that way you will benefit from the different colors when you glance at the widget on your homescreen.

### 5/5 — Application for Garmin

*2023-12-21, version 1.5*

Thank you for the app, do you plan to make it for a Garmin watch?

### 5/5 — Нет аналогов

*2023-12-10*

Начал пользоваться приложением на андроиде, затем купил айфон и столкнулся с первой проблемой, на айфоне это приложение не популярно и его очень сложно найти даже знающему о приложении человеку. Мне немного не хватает функционала, например более продвинутые заметки, или выбор иной визуализации ( деление на 2 циферблата по 12 часов ). Это что касается критики, но хочу сказать в защиту что я долго искал аналоги, пробовал множество приложений и подобного не нашел, очень круто разработчики обыграли обычный циферблат, мне кажется такая задумка должна быть по умолчанию на каждом телефоне. Денег своих не жалею, что на андроиде купил премиум, что на айфоне купил. Разработчикам желаю больше денег и времени на реализацию своих проектов.
