Full of bugs with no response
For the past 3 days the app is not functioning. I have been I touch with support and they confirmed. However - still no resolution and I'm a paying customer.
Super Laggy
If you use this for more than one calendar (which is the obvious reason pay for a premium calendar app), you’d have the expectation that you can drag and drop calendar events without lag. You’d expect a snappy experience, instead of constant slowness. So frustratingly slow. The recent update made things worse.

App doesn’t work
Everytime I make an account and I log in it just says error occurred log out.
A Solid and Expensive Calendar
Vimcal is a solid calendar with few downsides. That said, innovation with the product slowed to the near standstill that it’s at now around 2 years ago. Since then the app has seen surprisingly few updates that are not “performance updates.” If Vimcal’s cost were less than what it is, this would be acceptable. However, Vimcal should be innovating in some way, given how the world has changed around the calendar product in the last 2 years and their premium price point.

Nothing better
Couldn’t possibly have imagined how good this calendar app would be. The version on the computer is better than the iOS app but it’s still pretty great here. If you are a heavy calendar user, especially with multiple calendars across multiple services, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Very good scheduling app
I’ve been using Vimcal for a few months and it’s completely changed how I manage my schedule. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the scheduling features save me so much time compared to other calendars. I love how fast it is and how easily I can book meetings without back-and-forth emails. It feels designed for people who live in their calendar. Vimcal has made my days more organized and less stressful, and I now rely on it daily.

Great app for multiple calendars
I usually have 5 or more calendar accounts via different client workplaces - this gives me one place to see them all, and give people a unified option for booking in with me.
Also can check availability for colleagues in different client companies at once - handy when setting meetings with people from both
Bonus: love how they handle time zones - I work with colleagues in a lot of counties and this is invaluable

Sign in with Google doesn't work right
Instead of giving you the typical "select an account" option when using the Sign In With Google button, it seems to be defaulting to an account on my device that isn't usable with this app (locked down by employer). I'd prefer to use my personal Google account, but don't have the option to select which profile to use when signing in - not sure how it decided the work account is the default, but since I can't get past that initial screen, I don't have any way to add/change profiles.
There's some combination of signing out of all Google accounts on my device then signing back in in a specific order that might work, but it never sends to stick - once I get it displaying the right profile, it's only a few weeks before it's "stuck" on the work account again, and I'm tired of dealing with all that.

Scheduling links broken
Love the interface of Vimcal but all my scheduling links are broken. Help?
Fast!
Incredibly feature packed and fast. Similar vibe to superhuman. If you take the time to learn the shortcuts and capabilities, it could save hours per week.
The best calendar app for entrepreneurs
I’ve looked for an app like this one for a while. I’ve been disappointed with Notion Calendar since it was acquired by Notion… no iPad app, no mobile scheduling features… Vimcal does it all. For clarity: it’s expensive. $15/mo for a calendar isn’t for everyone. But if you value your productivity you’re gonna feel hyper productive 😉

What happened?
The app since update won’t actually open the date you want. I my the day prior or the day after. Unless you access it via the month view. Utterly awful update.
Buggy
Clicking on date goes to the previous day. Not working properly…
A must-have app for google cal users!
The Vimcal iOS app has several features that I find myself using over and over again
- the ability to tag events with different colors makes it easy for me to grok what I have coming up at a glance
- sending availability slots is a huge time saver
- time zone functionality is great when I’m too lazy to do mental math
Highly recommend checking out their desktop app too! Love the keyboard shortcuts there

No offline support
This doesn't seem possible for a modern calendar app, but I'm pretty sure there's no support for offline mode. When opening the app it takes 10+ seconds to load the events, so I turned off wifi and turned in airplane mode, quit the app, and reopened it, and sure enough after 10 or so seconds of loading, nothing showed up. Being able to see my calendar without an internet connection is a very basic table-stakes feature.
Also, normally I'd ask a question like this via support before leaving a review bit there's no Help section on the website or in the app...

I’m a double endorsement
…because I left and came back! Loved all aspects but had significant refresh issues. Gave Vimcal another try and the speed is real. Keep it up, team
App is randomly deleting meetings
The app has been randomly deleting me meetings from my calendar, and if I try to update a meeting, it deletes it. Unfortunately, it started out amazing, but something recently has gone a awry, making it almost unusable, as I’m not sure what meetings are being deleted.
Missing piece…iCloud
Loved it mostly and would have stayed subscribing if iCloud calendar was integrated. Not able to manage family full calendar w/o it. Strange as to continue to not want to integrate it for over a year.
A good iOS app with an overpriced desktop app with few functional updates over the last 1-2 years.
As far as stand alone free iOS apps go, use Vimcal. It’s a good app. The minute you see the $15/mo price tag for the desktop app, know that the desktop app has had the same missing functionality and innovation for about 2 years now while Vimcal has built out another side of their business. When using premium calendars, the ecosystem is part of the deal. If they’re going to continue to charge $15/mo for desktop, they’ll need to visibly focus on the calendar product.

Response from developer
Hi Aaron, The mobile app is free with no upsell or in app purchases. The desktop which is separate is $15 a month. The mobile app is not dependent on the desktop (you can use mobile without ever touching the desktop app). The mobile app has many of the same features as the desktop app and include the following and more. - company profiles and briefs - easy availability sharing with customizable options - view events in any time zone or city - view teammate's schedules and find openings - various widgets (lock screen, home screen, etc) - merge events to easily declutter your calendar view - show both Outlook and GCal calendar in the same view Cheers, Vimcal team
