### 4/5 — Love the app, simple, but could be updated

*2019-02-12*

I love this app, it’s simple and easy to use, and i love the way the layout works. I started using it when i had one job but over the years I’ve had to add a lot to my schedule and one improvement i would like to see would be color coding options for specific calendars. At a glance i would like to be able to see what days i work where instead of having every day on my calendar have a blue dot. It gets confusing at a glance to figure out where i need to be. 
No other calendar app has such a simple design and also offers color coding.

Another thing is that when you click on the Help and Support tab there’s absolutely nothing there, the tab is blank. 

Setting patterns has NEVER worked, there’s no way to set up what days they follow or for how long, and it would be nice if there were more options when trying to set them up, it also always starts on 1996 which is not helpful when you have to click through pages to get back to 2019.

### 3/5 — It works but not great

*2018-09-08, version 3.6.1*

Took a while to work out and adding roster wasn’t easy but got there in the end.
But the ‘help and support’ button is empty so no help is available.
And can’t work out how to add holidays or edit certain days.

### 4/5 — Great app just needs a few tweaks

*2017-10-04, version 3.5.2*

Great app for our mothers group to all be on the same page with baby play dates ! 

The only thing it really needs is to have a date repeat for birthdays and other important events.

Also if you could add more than one event to a day without it being in the same timeline should be able to add another.

Hope they consider adding these things  

Apart from that great app!!!

### 4/5 — Does nearly everything

*2015-10-13, version 3.4*

This app does nearly everything I want it to except you can't repeat an entry. 

Like birthdays would be easier if could be set to yearly. Regular outings like sports etc could be set to weekly. 

And maybe adding a time schedule for each day. So you could put meeting at 5pm and dinner in at 7pm. 

Otherwise super easy to use

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2015-03-07*

I think this calendar would be better if it gave a demo of directions & if you could add the kids events so no matter whose day it is, they know if there are any activities scheduled.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-02-22*

This app works for busy families. We use this app and it's great for keeping plans. Fantastic app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-11-03*

Partner and I work in A and E departments. Both of us do shift work  instead of writing in diary, pop shift into app and presto she gets my shifts and vice versa. Simple but highly effective. Recommended for all shift workers.  Great app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-08-11*

Works great!

### 3/5 — Good

*2013-11-29*

I love how my husband and I can share a calendar and that it shows the month view. I do wish you could add in separate events instead of a running list.  If that feature is added I would give it 5 stars. I also like how it sincs with my ISO calendar.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2013-06-28*

Perfect for the organisation of our company fleet cars.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2013-06-06, version 2.15*

Takes a bit to set up, but once it's up and running its great.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2019-09-05*

Won’t let you set times. Has trouble syncing.

### 1/5 — Review

*2019-06-11*

Needs to be more user friendly. I still can’t figure out how it all works. WAY too confusing. 
I can’t even send a simple review without having to choose a “nickname “?!?!?!?  After 20 attempts, all the nicknames have already been used. 

Effin Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Scam?

*2018-03-18*

Is it a scam app? Paid for it and it won’t do anything and doesn’t seem to be any support or help available. If the app developer would care to get in touch I’ll gladly retract this review

### 1/5 — ST

*2017-10-09*

Syncs just fine but notifications don't work for me.

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2015-09-07*

Didn't really make a lot of sense. Seems to me like it should be a lot more simple.

### 1/5 — NOT Good

*2014-03-19*

Downloaded then tried to add a calendar.  You must pay $1.99 for each calendar.

I almost did it until I noticed they did something unethical.  They whitened out the "Restore Previous Purchases" to try and trick people into always buying a new calendar even if they had previous purchases.

Reporting to Apple.  Took snapshots too.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2014-02-21, version 2.19*

If it didn't overlay all the 'demo' calendar crap, I could see this being a useful app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2013-05-09*

Can't create multiple day events and to use the support forum you have to log into a third party and grant them access to your info.

### 2/5 — Annoyed

*2017-06-26, version 3.5.2*

Super annoyed that the calendar starts at 1990 and you have tap over a billion times to get to today's date when creating a schedule 😡

### 3/5 — Amateur structure

*2018-12-20*

There is a typo where loose is used rather than used in the calendar instructions so for that reason I deleted the app.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2023-08-30*

Easy to use, simple and effective. Used this for a couple of years now with no issues. Straight to the point. If you want something plain and simple this is the app!

### 5/5 — The Best!

*2023-02-12*

My family uses this wonderful app as an extended family event calendar.   It is top notch for coordinating elder care too.   Seriously, it is life changing to track events and puts everyone in several states on the same events page.   Kudos to the app inventors and thank you!

### 5/5 — Seamless

*2021-04-28*

My and my wife have busy lives so being in sync is crucial when it comes to social activities, this app is seamless and works well. We can now plan our weekends and look at what we did retrospectively.. perfect

### 5/5 — Genius

*2019-09-26*

This app is absolutely the most helpful app for my family and work. Self-Employed with family co-workers makes our work schedules as well as vacation and family events so much easier to control. Thank you!

### 5/5 — The best shared calendar app!

*2019-01-24, version 3.6.3*

We used this app to chart care for an ill family member.  We scheduled family visits, left each other notes, highlighted healing accomplishments and more.   A wonderful app!

### 5/5 — Necessity

*2018-01-02*

We love the SharedCal app because we both work in public safety. It’s simple, which I love. It doesn’t have a million color coded options which my husband would hate. It’s easy enough that we both add notes for each other so our schedules don’t conflict! We’ve used it for a very long time!

### 5/5 — Copy and paste gone since update

*2016-11-19*

I live this app but you use to be able to copy and paste text. This made it easy to add more than one line on a date. Since an update you can no longer do this. Can you please fix this?!?!

### 5/5 — SharedCal

*2016-10-19, version 3.5.0*

Exactly what was needed

### 5/5 — Great little 'no frills' app

*2016-06-10*

Does exactly what it says on the tin, it's a calendar that you share and sync with other people. Great for families and clubs.
I'm sure there could be a few tweaks to make it fancier but there's really no need as it works just fine as it is.
Recommended !!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2015-04-27*

Let's me see I and my wife's schedule everyday. So there's never a miscommunication
