### 4/5 — Nice watch calendar

*2025-06-22, version 7.0.2*

Nice replacement for watch calendar, date does not change.

### 4/5 — Almost very good

*2022-12-17*

This app is highly customizable, which is really good. But it does not have one specific customizable feature that makes it useless to me - it only displays the time in my complications in 24 hour format. I cannot find where it can be set for 12 hr format with am and pm. As a result I won’t use the app even though it is great in other ways. Hope 12 hr format comes with an update soon, so I don’t feel like I wasted my money.

**Developer response:** Hello Rick! Thanks for the feedback. Regarding 24 versus 12 hour format, please contact us from within the app. Sure there's a setting that changes this for complications - many US customers are using this with no complaints. We will be glad to help you!

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2022-10-18*

Not sure how others use calendars. I use mine to track meetings I need to attend. This app will not handle this use case, citing “calendar has too many events”. I get the memory and processing power is limited in the watch, but isn’t there a solution like maybe only loading a days worth of events each day? I like the compact view, but I really wish I could view more simultaneous events in a manner similar to the timeline view while also being able to limit the view from showing the next days events. As it is, no view will show my work calendar accurately with most views showing no events even though I clearly have some. 

To be completely fair, this app is well thought out and has lots of features, it just isn’t quite there for what I’m looking for. I also haven’t found a working app that does. 3.5 stars, rounding to 4 because I empathize with developers. Not mad about the 2.99, just a drop in the bucket of cash I’ve spent in my fruitless effort to find a calendar complication that will do what I want.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Apple Watch Series 7 and 8 larger screen supports two compact view complications at the same time in certain watch faces. Would you be satisfied to have 4 events instead of 2 on your watch face? Please let us know. You can contact us from within the app - Customer Support Request. Have a nice day!

### 5/5 — All Day Events

*2022-10-06*

I’ve been looking for a way to display all day events as a Complication on my Apple Watch and this fits the bill perfectly! It would be great if you could choose to remove the “all day event” title text if you wanted to but this is a minor feature request - it really fills a void from the stock implementation.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! On version 5.3.1 you can turn off "All day event" text on complications. Go to Complications -> All day events -> Content and set it to "off". Please let us know if you need further assistance.

### 5/5 — Current, Past and Future Months

*2022-09-07*

I was looking for a watch calendar app that showed more than just the current month. I just installed this, so haven’t tested out very much yet, but I like the fact I can view full past, current and future months. That alone made it worth paying for.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Parfait parfait parfait !!!!

*2022-08-08*

Une application où toutes les fonctionnalités dont j’ai besoin sont disponibles sans achats intégrés ou abonnement, super simple d’utilisation, super paramétrable et super simple. Un exemple d’application qui fait une seule chose et qui le fait bien !
(Et comme souvent l’œuvre d’un seul développeur apparemment)

**Developer response:** Heureux que vous ayez aimé l'application ! Merci pour les compliments.

### 5/5 — Best customizable Apple Watch Calender!

*2022-04-27*

I have tried many calendars for the Apple Watch and for me it’s one of the best one! You can customize it in many ways. My Highlights are the compact view wich display 2 events ( up to 3 would be nice btw! ) and definitely the Month view! It may the best Month view I found on the Apple Watch! Thank you for the great App!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I took note of your suggestion (3 events in compact view). It's on Watch Calendar's enhancements list ;-)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-03-22*

Great app. I needed a week number in my calendar view on my watch and to be able to scroll through more months in the year. 

Please enable the week number view when Monday is the first day of the week. It seems to be available only when Sunday is the first day of the week. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Week numbers when Monday is the first day of the week is available on update 4.2.6. Please update! ;-)

### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant

*2022-02-21*

So many features and the complications are great. I’m very happy with this as it’s so much better then apples stock calendar.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We are glad you’re loving the app. Version 4 is coming with great features. Stay tuned!

### 5/5 — Map on calendar

*2021-11-25*

Love this app, works great for me. Just one question? How do I get the Map function to work that was just updated 2 days ago, as it’s not working for me?

New review. Love the app , just one slight tweak  will put it at 6 stars . Just make the calendar view bigger to complement the 7 series display.

**Developer response:** We are glad you’re loving the app! Series 7 bigger display support will launch soon!

### 5/5 — The perfect calendar app

*2021-11-14*

I love everything about this app. I don't need another calendar app on my phone, I just need something to integrate with the existing calendar and display everything neatly on my watch. This app does that perfectly. Wonderful customisation options and the dev has been very helpful with any issue I've had.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you’re loving the app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Nothing shows up on my watch

*2023-12-09, version 6.4.1*

I bought the app, bought the extra widgets, set the up in complications, but that section on my watch face is just blank. When I tap it nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Awful App the worst do not buy.

*2023-11-12, version 6.4*

All I wanted was a calendar on my watch that would show me my schedule and appointments just for work. 
1. Never show any data 
2. Overly cumbersome.
3. Sync ? What sync. 
4. None of the complication work. 
 Please do not answer my feed back. You have wasted enough of my time and energy.

### 1/5 — Widgets cost extra

*2022-11-28*

Love how you buried that widgets cost extra deep in the description. Classy. Response to Dev: That’s not the issue. The issue is that you imply widgets are part of the base price with your promotional screenshot that just says “Widgets! Watch Calendar comes to your device” alongside images of other features that ARE included with the base price. It’s misleading. You know those promotional screenshots are the main driver of sales (that’s why you have 10 of them) and yet you fail to disclose that two of those promoted features (Reminders integration and Widgets) are not included in the base price within the promotional screenshot. If it’s an honest mistake, fix it so customers aren’t misled. I’ll change my review and rating if you do, because otherwise it’s a good app.

I set a weekly reminder. I’ll update the review when the screenshots are corrected.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The app's core features are for Apple Watch and available with no add-ons. Almost 50% of our customers don't use widgets, so we think they shouldn't pay for features they won't use. That's why widgets are sold separately.

Developer’s response: I will add this information on those two screenshots.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-09-04, version 5.1*

After purchasing it it worked for a few weeks and then some update happened and now it is a waste of money!

### 1/5 — NOT A WATCH FACE

### 1/5 — Displaying wrong day on watch

*2022-02-22*

The app on my watch displays the wrong day

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Please update the app to version 4.2.6 which fixes this glitch. And if you have further questions, please contact us from within the app opening a Customer Support Request.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t open on Watch OS 8.1.1 on Apple Watch Series 7

*2021-12-10, version 3.1.1*

### 1/5 — Not working, please refund

*2021-03-25, version 2.18*

### 5/5 — Please help!!!

*2025-05-23*

I see three dots instead of number or numbers on the calendar page. How do I fix it?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! You can fix this by reducing the system font size in Settings app.

### 5/5 — Great utility.

*2024-02-15*

This gem keeps me off my phone.  I often need to look up week numbers.  This application gets it done.
Great response from the developer.

### 5/5 — The Best Watch Calander

*2024-02-15, version 6.5.1*

I have used others, this is the best. Absolutely fantastic. Customisation is limitless. Worth every penny ! The developer is very quick to respond to questions.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-12-02*

The watch calendar provides a complete set of options to provide concise information at a glance. It’s the best watch calendar by far. Also, the customer service is responsive, amenable to requesting changes, and without a doubt, excellent! I’ve had this app for several years and couldn’t ask for more in an Apple Watch app. Absolutely worth the price!

**Developer response:** Thanks Doug for your feedback! I’m glad you’re loving the app.

### 5/5 — Nice watch calendar

*2023-11-28, version 6.4*

Nice replacement for watch calendar.

### 5/5 — If you Love Complications

*2023-08-28*

Well thought Complications. Circular Complication provides a 24 hour calendar event view at a glance. Color coded as well. Tapping into this circular complication takes you to a monthly Calendar View. Where you can adjust its colors. Allowing for a quick understanding of your monthly schedule. NOTE: This App was difficult to find in the App Store. (Even when typing Calendar) It needs exposure, people will LOVE this product once they give it a chance. TO DEVELOPER: You have something special going with this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! You can help us by spreading the word among your friends and family.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2022-11-17, version 6.0*

Great app and awesome developer! 

I wrote to Marcel about a feature idea, which he managed to implement in record time.

The app is robust and well optimized, but where it excels are the complications. Highly customizable and available for every type of watch face.

All the best to the developer, keep putting the users first 😊
