We love FamCal. ### 5/5 — Great Family App! *2026-08-20, version 8.5.4* For two working parents with 3 boys and 2 dogs, this app is a lifesaver! We use it for grocery, shopping, to-do, and around the house lists. The shared calendar is a great feature too. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-18, version 8.5.4* This is great for the family!!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-18, version 8.5.4* Love it!! Great for this Military Family !! ### 5/5 — App *2026-08-18, version 8.5.4* Love this app ### 5/5 — Great family tool *2026-08-17, version 8.5.4* Awesome app for our family ### 4/5 — Love it, except… *2026-08-15, version 8.5.4* I really do love this app. It’s been the perfect choice for my husband and I to share our crazy schedules and our 3 kid’s schedules. However, I really want to use a digital wall calendar, and this calendar app does not sync with any of them. I keep waiting for updates, but I’m about to switch to a calendar app that I don’t like as much just to have the functionality of having a digital one on the wall that everyone can see. Also, I really wish after you opened a day in the calendar, it would allow you to swipe to the next day instead of going back to the main calendar and choosing the next day. ### 5/5 — Still using it years later. *2026-08-13, version 8.5.4* I downloaded this for android on my phone first. Still got it. I’ve been using the iOS version on my iPad for at least 2 years. This is the only organizing app that I’ve been able to easily make a habit of using ever. It just fits my life. Shopping list, to-do lists, colander, and memos. I have mine connected to my sisters so we can recall all the birthdays. Very helpful app. Use it every day. Update: Still using it! Now that my kids are teens I have them and my husband connected to it so we can ALL update the grocery list, see the calendar, and generally dissipate some of the mental load off me. Cuz sharing is caring. ### 5/5 — Good App *2026-08-12, version 8.5.4* Thank you for the app ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-11, version 8.5.4* Great product to keep all our daily activities straight! ### 4/5 — Keeps us organized! *2026-08-09, version 8.5.4* My hubby and I use this calendar a LOT! We can both add to it, edit events, and delete events. It takes notes so I can put the address of where we’re going on an event. I can’t think of anything it is lacking. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Family Calendar *2026-08-09, version 8.5.4* Good way to schedule. ### 5/5 — Very Nice!! *2026-08-09, version 8.5.4* This app is great because it allows us to have a family grocery list and calendar and know what is going on. And it sinks to everyone if you tell it to and to my Apple calendar so I don’t have to do everything twice. ### 5/5 — Fam Cal Fan! *2026-08-09, version 8.5.4* Love famcal, we consider it the source of truth in our family and keeps our household organized, and excited for what’s to come! Grateful to have my go-to for alllll the things! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-08, version 8.5.4* So easy to use and share with my family. Anyone can add to the shared lists etc. and super easy to remove purchase items or accomplished tasks etc. ### 5/5 — FamCal *2026-08-07, version 8.5.4* Keeps us all informed if we look at our calendar. ### 5/5 — Schedule works great *2026-08-07, version 8.5.4* I have come to use FamCal for most of my scheduling. Works great! ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2026-08-06, version 8.5.4* Works great, intuitive, easy to use! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is slow and cumbersome *2026-07-20, version 8.5.4* Easy to use, but has significant delays with synchronisation issues between devices not updating changes and edits from device to device.n Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-01, version 8.5.4* I liked the agenda and other views of the calendar. I’ve used another shared calendar for years, but thought I’d give this a try. I signed up and added a doctor appointment for Tuesday, June 2. I logged into the browser version on my desktop and there it was, confidently showing on Wednesday, June 3. I canceled immediately. After getting screenshots of course. ### 1/5 — Whats the point *2026-04-11, version 8.5.2* You can add yourself, and then when it comes to adding more people( which is the point of the app!) and you can only do that if you pay 4 pound a week?! May aswell js use the stock iPhone calander if that’s the case! ### 1/5 — No use at all *2026-03-30, version 8.5.2* I have FamCal on my personal phone, installed a few years back when it was free. That account works perfectly and I’m happy with it. This version, unless you’re willing to subscribe, is useless. You can’t add anything in! Utter waste of time. ### 1/5 — Malfunctioning *2026-03-23, version 8.5.2* Pop up prompt to subscribe for premium would not stop after adding multiple events, even after restarting app multiple times and logging out and back in. ### 1/5 — Practically useless if you’re not paying for a subscription *2026-02-23, version 8.5.1* If you don’t sign up for the paid version, it will constantly pop up a window asking you to subscribe. Also, if you want to put something on the calendar more than 7 days in advance it will not let you. You have to subscribe for that “feature”. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-02-20, version 8.5.1* I’d give it 0 stars if I could. You can’t even create events in the app unless you want to pay for it. ### 1/5 — Price has quadrupled *2026-02-15, version 8.5.1* I used FamCal for ages. Stopped it briefly while on maternity leave and now it’s £3.99 per week. I used to pay £3.99 a month. We won’t be re subscribing at that extortionate cost. Deleted the app and moved to another one. ### 1/5 — Synchronised *2026-02-11, version 8.5.1* What has been put in the calendar doesn’t math with other family member ### 1/5 — Донатная помойка *2026-01-24* Почему я не могу без подписки даже график составить? Что за политика у вас? **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. Could you please contact us at famcal@support.beesoft.io so we could drive deeper into the matter? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FamCal *2026-08-26, version 8.5.4* My Family really enjoys using FamCal.
