### 5/5 — Best Calendar App

*2026-06-24*

Loving this app so far. I connect with the developer of this app so much. I was also using minical calendar app for the longest time (over 5 years) until recently, I kept the app kept deleting all my events and I had to religiously restore them. So I had enough and went down a rabbit hole of finding the most similar app as minical. My main concern was finding an app with a widget on my homescreen showing all my up events. TapCal has been amazing so far. No complications or issues on my end. Thank you!!

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2026-04-02*

I tried this out briefly to see what it was like. Overall, it performs well. The only missing feature I desired is the ability to sync with Apple Reminders; without that, I will not subscribe.

**Developer response:** Thanks for giving TapCal a try. Apple Reminders support has since been added, so you can now view and manage reminders alongside your calendar events. I'd love for you to give the latest version another look.

### 5/5 — Clean and Powerful Calendar

*2026-02-27*

Very recommended!

**Developer response:** Thank you, really glad TapCal is feeling clean and useful for you!

### 5/5 — Promising Future Ahead

*2026-01-25*

As a busy professional who needs a calendar that just works, TapCal immediately clicked for me. The design is beautiful, and the app feels intuitive right out of the box. Being in the software industry myself, I can see the thoughtful foundations here - this has a promising future ahead. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

**Developer response:** This means a lot, especially coming from someone in software. I'm continuing to build on TapCal's foundations while keeping it clean and practical. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review.
