I really do not care that today is National Blueberry Popover Day, for example. I would really like to remove all holidays except for the US Federal Holidays. The description implies this can be done, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I also could not find any way to contact someone for support other than by writing this review. If someone can tell me how to remove unwanted holidays from my calendar, I would really appreciate the help! Using iPhone and iPad. ### 3/5 — It isn’t free *2019-08-18* $.99 for each year ### 1/5 — Doesn’t only show holidays you want *2018-12-01* I selected just the specific holidays I wanted to show in my calendar. Every time I would reload the calendar, it would automatically have reselected to show all holidays. It was a pain and not worth the download. ### 1/5 — Holidays US *2018-08-13* Can’t get this app open. It says it needs access to your calendar’s go to privacy settings went to settings privacy calendar that didn’t work. went to the Calendar app on my phone opened up add calendar that didn’t work. Looked on support page useless. ### 3/5 — “D Day” has been omitted from this calendar? *2018-06-07* Why has “D Day” June 6th been omitted from this calendar? ### 1/5 — one star *2018-02-18, version 3.10* u got presidents day wrong ### 1/5 — Horrible! impossible to delete *2015-01-01, version 2.60* This looks great but then 2 and 3 copies of the same holiday start appearing and there's no way to delete! ### 2/5 — Lousy app *2014-05-01, version 2.50* The old version had a lot of useful information and links to more info on the internet. This one simply fills your calendar with dates, whether you want them or not. Lousy and not worth it. And often a nuisance. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2014-03-17, version 2.50* Missing Take Your Daughter to work Day, International Labor Day, and International Women's Day under Noteable US Days but otherwise well done, easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says. *2014-02-16, version 2.50* This app does exactly what it says it will do. US holidays were added to my IPad and iPhone very easily. They are created as "all day" events. Multiple choices exist for specific country and religious choices for you to upload. You merely select or deselect the ones you want. Seems to be exactly what I was looking for. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full access *2025-07-21* Why does it need full access to my calendar - to add hundreds of events I don’t want? ### 1/5 — I don't want religious holidays on my calendar!!! *2025-07-15* I don't want other people's religious holidays on my calendar!!! How hard is it to offer an option for different religions. ### 1/5 — needs rebranding *2025-05-21* this should be called the jewish holiday calendar not USA ### 1/5 — Waste of $2 *2023-12-19* The app gives you a “choice” of US holidays to opt out of but it doesn’t really remove any. And you get “holidays” for all kinds of things that you probably don’t want and can’t remove. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-06-15* I downloaded the app simply to have a calendar of US federal holidays. It’d be nice to have them on my phone and not just in my office I mean, it’s a calendar app right? My bad for thinking it’d be free I’m not paying for info readily available ### 1/5 — NOT free!! *2023-01-15* This app states it is free for 1 calendar. However, the only option available is to purchase it. This is false advertising! ### 1/5 — Missing Mother’s day & Fathers day *2022-05-01* Standard holiday not included ### 1/5 — Juneteenth *2020-06-20* Juneteenth is missing from State holidays ### 1/5 — NOT WHAT IT SEEMS! *2019-07-14* At first when I BOUGHT this app, I really thought highly of it, and actually didn’t mind PAYING for the yearly updated version, even though it says no subscription. It’s true, there is no yearly subscription, but you do have to pay a nominal fee for a new year. That aside, what’s really bothering me is, I’m realizing I can no longer eliminate certain holidays I have no interest in. They are all attributed to the US calendar, but are either Islamic or Muslim in nature and CANNOT be deleted!!! They are not even listed on ANY calendar for selection! All other holidays can be, but not these select few! So, guess what?! Gone from my phone folks... Even though I was interested at one point in their observances, losing my right to choose turned me off cold! ### 1/5 — Yuck *2019-01-03* Better off adding your own holidays instead of some of these that clutter up your calendar ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NO mystery holidays *2025-06-09* 1) I like to have the official US federal holidays when feds, doctors, and the banks are closed. I don’t need the holidays from other religions, unless I want to be cautious around Ramadan. I like being able to select which holidays I want. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2023-12-23* Not sure why all the negative reviews. I’ve used this app for a number of years. It is completely customizable. You can view the holidays you want and not see those you don’t. Also many different different calendars to choose from based on Country, religion, etc. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-10-28, version 4.21* Highly customizable way to add many types of calendars. Easily syncs with whatever calendar app you use. Some negative comments are not accurate (Mother’s Day is there). And $0.99 a year is a bargain for what you get. Also like that developer doesn’t collect personal info. ### 5/5 — Thank you for this! *2021-09-06, version 4.13* It’s so nice to have more autonomy over what appears in my calendar without having to look up all the dates myself. ### 5/5 — Keep it Up *2019-01-21* Hope this app continues for years. Wish the 2020 holidays would be published! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-06-19* So much better than the US Holidays that come with iOS as half the holidays on that one are not even remotely close to US holidays. Thank you so much for this one!!! ### 5/5 — Get the holidays you want on your calendar! *2018-05-07* I was tired of seeing all sorts of holidays that I don’t celebrate on my Apple US holidays calendar and that aren’t federal holidays. (Don’t know why they’d be on the US calendar if they’re not US federal holidays!?!?) With this app you can select the US holidays you want to show on your calendar and purchase additional calendars of other countries or religions holidays if you’d like those holidays displayed. Solved my problem!! ### 5/5 — Best source to get holidays into your calendar *2018-01-13* I’ve been using this for several years. Sure you can spend hours searching for free online calendars that are usually incomplete and may or may not be there tomorrow. This is quick, easy, and I can customize what I want to pull in. I would like to see a calendar of celestial events, not just midsummer and midwinter. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-09-28, version 2.60* Gets the holidays in the calendar, great app. Doesn't require paid subscriptions like some other apps. Gives you more control over which holidays are imported. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2014-03-29, version 2.50* Thank you! Why Apple didn't add this as feature i can't understand but I hope you make a ton of money! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
