I like that there’s a lot of colors already but making your own custom colors using a color wheel/hex codes/ more presets would be great. BUT, I neeeed more widgets. I dislike that for the large widget the only option is upcoming events. I’d like a full calendar option where maybe you could see colors of your events since the text might be too small, and an option to see events already completed on the day of. So if it’s the 8th today, I’d like to see the other events already completed. Or options to see one specific calendar type for the day of even if it’s already been completed. So filtered by one calendar and show events only for the day of. I say all this because I track some habits through calendar so i’d like to see the ones i’ve already completed on the day of. overall i like the app and the customization i just crave more. ### 2/5 — Just copies Google Calendar *2026-07-31, version 2.7.5* I wanted a clean slate calendar to plan things in. You can’t use this as a blank calendar, all other things from your other calendars must carry onto this one. If I have Google and apple calendars.. what the hell do I need this one for if all that stuff has to be on this one too? ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-07-21, version 2.7.4* All I want is Mac version and will be perfect ### 4/5 — Pretty good, functional with color coding feature *2026-07-18, version 2.7.4* Recently there is an awful red blinking megaphone icon in an ad(?) at the bottom of the calender. Very distracting! Please fix asap. ### 3/5 — Needs to be shareable *2026-07-06* This is by far the best calendar app I’ve used for quick entry, colour coding, easy to enter repeating events, visually appealing and you are able to see all the entries at one time. Unfortunately it’s not shareable and I have to use a different calendar app, with significantly more frustration, to keep my family organized. Please make a shareable version so I can continue using this great app! ### 2/5 — Keep getting spam *2026-06-11, version 2.7.2* I have used this app for ages, but recently it is full of spam that you cannot delete I have so much spam on it. I cannot see my usual appointments ### 2/5 — Events deleting *2026-06-05, version 2.7.2* I absolutely loved this app up until it deleted all my past and future events 2 times. ### 1/5 — It deleted all of my events / saved events *2026-05-21, version 2.7.2* The whole point of this is to keep track of saved dates so you won’t miss anything. Today I opened up the app and it deleted ALL OF MY EVENTS. I know the developers might just copy and paste saying “ please check settings and check if your info is up to date” yeah no that’s your job my job is to just download your app and put my dates into it. What a horrible experience. You guys are off just using iPhone calendar or another type. Just use those this one will delete all your events then except you to fix it yourself. ### 1/5 — 😭😭 *2026-05-21, version 2.7.2* I loved this calendar! Had it for over a year and a half and then one day I woke up and everything was gone! All of my activities ever! Couldn’t be restored either! All I got was a 30 day snapshot of what had been auto saved but was as dot points so not very helpful 😭😭 ### 1/5 — Everything got deleted *2026-05-20* One day everything I’ve ever put in my calendar got deleted because of an update I’m guessing. ### 1/5 — All my events disappeared *2026-05-12, version 2.7.2* Literally had all my events color coded and then one day everything just disappeared!!! Will be deleting app ### 1/5 — Events Disappear *2026-05-11, version 2.7.2* All of my events were just gone one day. Can’t get them to return either. Prompts for a fix to this are not helpful or working. ### 3/5 — Удалилась вся информация из календаря *2026-05-10, version 2.7.2* Вчера, по непонятным причинам, слетела вся сохраненная информация! Ладно бы это были бы какие-то последние записи, но исчезла вся информация абсолютно! Есть ли вообще вероятность, что календарь восстановится?! ### 4/5 — Love this app !! *2026-05-08, version 2.7.2* I absolutely love everything about this app, I use it more than anything. It is very functional. I just highly wish they had more color options because after a while you do run out of colors to code everything with. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spam *2026-08-13, version 2.7.5* I got a spam and it shows up 5 times everyday. ### 1/5 — I loved and now I hate *2026-08-13, version 2.7.5* I rely on my calendar and I used to love this app for years. Twice in the past month it has erased all of my saved dates. I will be deleting this app and using another. ### 1/5 — Events Going Missing *2026-08-06, version 2.7.5* Not completely customizable if you want all calendars to contribute. I just have one contributing now but I keep having events disappear which obviously defeats the purpose of keeping a calendar. ### 1/5 — Fed up *2026-07-20, version 2.7.4* This app was good, but now totally put off by constantly getting a flashing icon at the bottom which if I click on it says google warning you have numerous viruses you need to download another app. It is a scam but it is totally putting me off using the app which is a shame as upto now it’s been a brilliant app. ### 1/5 — Saddened to leave this app *2026-07-13, version 2.7.3* i don’t tend to write reviews but here i am. been using this for years. suddenly everything disappeared. i tried everything. I simply just wish it can be saved automatically in the app. Thank you n goodbye. ### 1/5 — Lost my INFO *2026-06-07, version 2.7.2* Opened up the app today on 6/7/26, to find the last THREE years of my life was simply GONE!! Can’t get back more than the lousy 30 day “Lite Backup” they provide, but even that doesn’t give the details that were written, just the event! I’m devastated!! ### 1/5 — do not download *2026-06-04, version 2.7.2* Deleted my whole calendar 3 times and i cannot restore it. 😤😡 ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-05-28, version 2.7.2* Twice now it has deleted all of my events after a few months of using it’s absolutely awful. ### 1/5 — Disappointed in the End *2026-05-25, version 2.7.2* I’ve used this app for years. It has been great. Very user friendly. But it has one fatal flaw. This calendar will randomly clear all your events, with no way to retrieve them. I had backup turned on but nothing appeared in my other default calendars. Birthdays, weddings, interviews, important dates all erased. This is the second time it’s happened and i’m so done with it. Don’t waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-05-25, version 2.7.2* I really liked this calendar, but I lost all my data on it, which makes it hard for me to recommend it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — my rating *2026-08-19, version 2.7.5* best app ever it's so easy to use ### 5/5 — I will forever be in debt to the creator. *2026-08-10, version 2.7.5* Thank you for making this app. Seriously. It is so easy to use. You can make recurring events, show the weather up to a week ahead, make different colors so events stand out, make reminders, add notes to events for more details, I could just go on. It tells you exactly what is going on by glancing at the calendar, not by having to go into multiple things to see what is going on this day. I seriously am just so happy with this app. I have had it for awhile and it is always kept so simple. THANK YOU!! ### 5/5 — The Ease *2026-07-27, version 2.7.4* I needed an online calander and the one on the iPhone is mega difficult. I love how this app connects to the apple calader so it can remind you of events. The only difficulty was setting up the categories only works in the apple calender and that is a nessasary feature, if there is a way in the app lmk! Overall highly recommend for a easy to access and price effective system ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-03, version 2.7.2* It works! It’s simple and gives you everything you need. You can open the day and see it laid out for you closed you see times and summary. You can change colors or designate certain colors for specific types of events. I love an app that works! Thank you! 😺 ### 5/5 — Wow simple et efficace *2026-05-25* J’adore ! Le fait qu’ont peu mettre des couleurs pour chaque personne et on peu choisir comme on veut visualiser. Woww! J’aime beaucoup ### 5/5 — Still amazed *2026-05-12, version 2.7.2* Had this Simple calendar for almost two years now been amazing. No problem or clutch. Has colors that help me out. (: 5 stars after two years still amazing ### 5/5 — Perfect calendar! *2026-05-01, version 2.7.1* This calendar works great! I think if you’re struggling with a calendar. This is the perfect app to use. I was mad at this other calendar I had but this is perfect! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — My favorite calendar *2026-04-23, version 2.7.0* Love this calendar! Everything is very user friendly and the view is perfectly “simple” as the name indicates. I do wish there were more color options and the ability to sync it with other users. But still my favorite calendar hands down. ### 5/5 — Best One Yet! *2026-03-28, version 2.6.8* Love this app. I’ve used it for over 5 years. The ONLY thing I don’t like about this is it doesn’t have the ability to block out an entire day. Other than that, love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-20, version 2.6.8* i loveee using this, it’s so simple and so helpful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
