### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-02-22*

Rubbish

**Developer response:** We're hurt by the horrible words, but we're going to keep improving our calendar app to make it even better!

### 2/5 — Handy but stop the notifications prompt

*2023-02-20*

Useful app but please let me turn off the prompt to activate notifications. It pops up EVERY time I open the app. I don’t want or need notifications. Thanks.

Update - dropping a star.  Please turn off the notifications prompt.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comment.
You can now turn off notifications, please try it.

### 3/5 — Widget needs a date

*2025-09-20*

The calendar is easy to use but it would be better if you could view the calendar date from the widget without opening the app.

### 3/5 — Good but needs improvements

*2020-11-23*

It’s actually a good minimalist calendar, but it does need to have major improvements. For example, I need to sink my Outlook Calendar and Google Calendar and not just Apple Calendar, but it doesn’t allow you to do that. Another improvement needed is that the app doesn’t allow you to see the day of the week it is on its icon badge app; on Apple’s Calendar, I don’t have to enter the app to see what day it is, it shows both the number and the day (such as Mon 23). The user interface and design are not as attractive as Apple Calendar (I want the closest feel and design to Apple’s Calendar without being locked into Apple’s ecosystem)

**Developer response:** Thanks for the very helpful review.
In the future, we will consider being able to sync Google Calenadar and Outlook.
Unfortunately, I can't add the date and day of the week to the app's icon because technically only Apple's app seems to be able to do so.
We will improve the calendar in the future to make it easier to use, thank you.

### 5/5 — How to switch off military time?

*2025-03-25*

How can you switch it off military time?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-07-13*

This SimpleCal is very reliable and easy to manage. 

I wish you can Add a Voice Reminder of the Appointments with set up of Time/s and Date/s accordingly.  Thanks

### 5/5 — iPhone calendar

*2024-07-09*

It’s an ok calendar.  I really really wish it had colors to highlight different events.  So much easier to follow when everything is color coded into specific groups.  
Other than that everything else about it is okay

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-04-16*

Great to see monthly appts at a glance!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for sharing what I, as a developer, set out to achieve.

### 5/5 — Minimalist dream

*2024-01-19*

Calendar is intuitive, easy to use, easy to read and has exactly wants needed without the unnecessary frills!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for sharing what I, as a developer, set out to achieve.

### 5/5 — rich
