Hallo, das ist seltsam und sollte natürlich nicht so sein. Könnten Sie sich bitte über die Support-Funktion in der App oder direkt unter hello@tutao.de an uns wenden, damit wir Ihren Fall genauer untersuchen und Ihnen so schnell wie möglich helfen können?

Event integration and repetition bugs

Event integration from other websites could be easier (for now, as Tutacalendar cannot process iCal files, I first have to add events to my apple calendar and then import the calendar file into Tutacalendar on desktop as importing files is not possible on the mobile app…). Also, there are some bugs such as when adding a repetitive event (i.e. weekly), if it is later erased the app keeps sending reminder for inexistent events.

Thanks for your detailed feedback! Just to clarify, Tuta Calendar now supports importing .ics files directly on mobile, so you no longer need to go through Apple Calendar first. You can also subscribe to public calendars via an ICS URL. We’re sorry about the recurring-event reminder issue and appreciate you reporting it. We’re continuously working to improve Calendar.

Buggy, but works

I keep having to reset the app everytime I want to add a calendar to this, bit annoying

Hi, that is odd and of course should not be that way. Could you please contact us via the support function in app or directly at hello@tutao.de, so we can have a closer look at your case and help you asap.

not working-not a review

Hey there, I’m not able to log into account just after creating it. Even though password saved. Not sure what to do, can’t even delete the address just created. I really just like support, but don’t know how to get it.

Still crashes and account

The fact that it still crashes and when managing to launch, requires an account is an absolute no go

How is it ‘private’ and ‘secure’ when you ask for email?

Makes no sense

Edit: thanks for the reply. To clarify, I can’t use the calendar without logging in. I don’t think an account is needed to put in my plans on a calendar

Keine Termine und leicht einen sitzen

Tuta Kalender muss ein großer Fan oder Verehrer von Karl Lagerfeld sein. Anders kann ich mir nicht erklären, dass ich jeden einzelnen Tag als Ansicht in meinem großen Widget auf dem Startbildschirm erhielt: heute keine Termine mit einer kleinen Zeichnung von einem Mann, der zurückgelehnt in einem Sessel saß und sich anscheinend ein Gläschen genehmigte. Dass ich aber tatsächlich teilweise 3, 4 oder auch 6 Termine im Kalender drin stehen hatte? Das wollte mir weder das Widget noch die App so recht verraten, denn auch Benachrichtigungen oder Erinnerungen erhielt ich keine.
Dasselbe übrigens auf meinem Android Smartphone und Android Tablet.
Kurzum: Jetzt habe ich wirklich keine Termine mehr und Dank meiner neu gewonnenen Freizeit am Tage nun öfter mal leicht einen sitzen.

Einfach aber genial

Weiter so genau das was man benötigt. Cool wäre noch, wenn das icon auf dem iPhone das aktuelle Datum angezeigt.

Love it!

Fully functional and calendar subscriptions work great. It's very streamlined. I like the color schemes and how you can toggle between the agenda view (which is new to me!) and the other time frames. The subscription system is nice, it allows me to nest my time organization, with my tuta calendar being the most micro and detailed. I am guessing I'll adjust to the minimalist framework and start to relax a little. Really impressed with everything tuta has created.

Left pane not shown

I have noticed that the left pane sometimes doesn’t show when I open the app via the widget.

I'm so glad to have a private alternative!

I'm very thankful that I have a calendar alternative that isn't connected to Apple or Google. I was using a paper calendar, but the phone reminders were something I missed

Ich liebe es 😍!!!

Es ist eine super Kalender App. Mit viele Features, wovon aber viele leider ein Bezahltes Abo benötigen.
Ansonsten ist es eine sehr gute App auch für den Gebrauch in der Familie!!!

Would like to have the ability to see holidays marked

I understand that celebrated holidays may differ by country, but I would like to be able to select my country and have the major/bank holidays marked upon country selection. I’m also open to any other means of automarking holidays.

Catch import from Apple calendar

I’d love to use this app, but I have too much data on my iOS calendar. If I could just import everything easily, I’d switch over completely, but I can’t see it a way to do that.

Beim Öffnen der App immer Agenda-Ansicht erzwungenermaßen

Beim Öffnen der App öffnet sich immer die Agenda-Ansicht des heutigen Tages. Die Tagesagenda sehe ich aber ja schon im Widget.
Ich wünsche mir, dass man einstellen kann in welcher Ansicht sich die App öffnet. Ich persönlich hätte gerne die Monatsansicht. Die muss ich immer erst mit zwei Klicks öffnen. Das macht die App für mich nur träge nutzbar.

Zero help

I really want this to be my solution! Tuta has so much going for it, in theory. But both this and the mail app CONSTANTLY crash, usually after only 30-60 seconds at most. And for some reason my calendar events won’t show without a connection, and seem to have to reload every time the app opens, which makes it very slow and sometimes completely and painfully useless. 😭😭😭 Time based things i need to be able to act on need to keep existing on my device when the power is out, ffs. I’d be happy to try to trouble shoot whatever this mess is, I’ve tried to find any settings that might be in the way, but I cant fond anything, and they only provide support for the paid level. Which, I mean, I get valuing your time, but why would I decide to pay you when my experience of trying out the service is that it straight up frequently does not work? 😩 I have no basis upon which to place hope that it will work after upgrading. And i know I’m not the only one struggling - there is a reddit forum that shows more ios users reporting constant crashing, but i don’t have an account so i can’t read the replies, only the complaints.

Works great with one hiccup

I really enjoy using this calendar an app. There are many options for customizing appointment types, reminders, repeating appointments, etc. easy to use and pretty intuitive.
The big issue that I have run into is that is you have both the calendar and the email app on one device, you get double the reminders. The calendar app sends the reminder and the email app also sends a separate reminder for the same appointment. The repeat reminders make things a little confusing and cause a lot of notification traffic on my devises.
Otherwise I live using!
