### 4/5 — Good calendar

*2026-09-18*

Good calendar to keep track, would be nice to be able to insert a pattern for repetitive schedules. Also to share with your spouse

### 4/5 — Calendar

*2026-09-17*

Good

### 5/5 — Have been using for years :3

*2026-09-15*

Have been using this every single day for years for both work & personal scheduling. Name rings true, very simple to use. Can set reminder notifs (i never do), recurring events, singular events, unlimited notes (i think - at least, VERY large space!) for any/all event(s) you want, lots of different color options for types of events if you benefit from color-coding. Can also change the overall calendar layout color which is cool (starts out as green i think, i changed mine to pink). Always 100% free, no subscription or anything. The only minor downside (and likely why it’s free) is that there is always a small bar at the bottom that displays (and sometimes plays) ads. Tbh tho i got used to it really fast because of how small it is comparatively and i dont even notice/register it anymore (haven’t in years). *Never* any full size or pop-up ads or anything. I’ve recommended this app to friends before. :3
