### 2/5 — What happened

*2026-07-26, version 16.3.2*

I’ve used this app for years and suddenly my calendar events have disappeared. It started doing this in early July. I would restart my phone and the events would reappear, but now they have disappeared and will not come back despite multiple attempts of restarting my phone.

### 2/5 — Badge notification  not appearing !!

*2026-07-21, version 16.3.2*

Badge notification displaying today’s date doesn’t appear, despite turning on appropriate settings. Frustrating as used to appear.  Otherwise great app, but have to score down for this annoying gremlin.

### 4/5 — Bug

*2026-07-08, version 16.3.2*

There is a bug ib the latest update (16.3.2) on Iphone 17 ios 26.5.2. When you try to edit an event that has notes and touch the notes section, the keyboard comes up and covers the section, it used to move to the line where the cursor is but now you cannot see the cursor behind the keyboard :(

### 1/5 — WARNING!!! LOST ALL ENTRIES TWICE!!!!!!

*2026-07-08, version 16.3.2*

I have used this app for at least 10 years if not more and have absolutely loved it!! Never any issues whatsoever until about a year and a half ago, I pulled up my calendar and EVERYTHING was GONE…past, present, and future!! I contacted the developer and they said it had something to do with the native iPhone calendar overwriting the app’s entries. They offered some suggestions on how I could possibly restore my data. However, I tried everything that was still possible with no success. Because I love the app so much I came to terms with the devastating loss and moved forward. While I had not fully recovered from the loss of recurring annual entries such as detailed birthday input, anniversaries, special dates etc I was on my way to rebuilding my calendar for scheduling purposes. But then a couple days ago I pulled up my calendar and EVERY page and view was BLANK AGAIN!!! I turned my phone off and on multiple times thinking that a restart might solve it but still blank. This morning I decided to delete the app and reinstall. However, once app was deleted and reinstalled I was not able to get past a subscription page to access my calendar now. I paid for an upgrade years ago to have advanced features, but when I hit restore, I got a “Restored” message but the subscription page did not go away. After having lost ALL of my data TWICE all trust of this app is gone!! I would not pay any amount of money to have it at this point! Was debating whether or not to even stay with it period, but I needed the information I’d lost so was doing what I could to at least retrieve it!!! They had a really good thing while it lasted but would not recommend it now.

### 1/5 — Not liking this update 😬

*2026-07-02, version 16.3.1*

Now it’s broken. Every time I open an appointment for details, I can’t close out of it. It stays frozen on the screen. I have to completely close out the app and get back into it. Please fix this ASAP!

### 1/5 — Hard to get support

*2026-06-22, version 16.2.1*

There contact us request you pay a premium to get help, but can’t get past this to get help. Problem is on iPad going to next month, if goes to January 2001. It’s a great calendar but this problem has persisted for years.

### 1/5 — Double Charge

*2026-06-07, version 2.2*

They charged me once on my iPad now they want me to pay again. Don’t get suckered in.

### 1/5 — Cannot open app after downloading iOS 26.5

*2026-06-05, version 16.2.1*

Be careful if you get this app.  I cannot open it after updating iOS.

### 1/5 — Deletes Appointments Scheduled

*2026-06-04, version 16.2.1*

This is my second time having all my appointments wiped out! BEWARE

### 5/5 — Easy and efficient

*2026-06-04, version 16.2.1*

If you already have a google account this is very easy . I now use this as my main business diary as I need to share with my partner so we can see each others bookings 
It’s simply brilliant . My computer person showed me how to set it up

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — A calendar for £200!

*2026-08-30, version 16.3.2*

Accidentally updated from old version I paid for and entered the new world of subscription ( parasitic?) software £200 for lifetime !! Can no longer use it the way I have for 15 years. Data suddenly locked away until I pay something over, thanks! If your staff aren’t getting some of the money (probably just getting a sticker) you won’t be round much longer

### 1/5 — Crash test dummy

*2026-08-27, version 16.3.2*

I wish I could find a better calendar ap than this one. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
   Never had a calendar ap than crashed as much as this one!

### 1/5 — Cannot get off of the pay screen!

*2026-08-26, version 16.3.2*

The circular hell of customer support that isn’t really customer support is beyond aggravating. I updated this app, and now every single time I touch the screen, I’m prompted to pay for PRO, even though I paid for this app years ago.

I should not have to repeatedly dismiss upgrade prompts for a product I already purchased, nor should an update effectively take away functionality I previously paid for. This is intrusive, frustrating, and completely unacceptable.

Please fix this issue and restore my paid access without the constant PRO prompts.

### 1/5 — Really glitchy

*2026-08-25, version 16.3.2*

Used to be good, now full of glitches

### 1/5 — The most expensive app in the App Store

*2026-08-20, version 16.3.2*

I paid for this app a few years ago… the developer keeps changing the subscription model and even if you have paid before, they strip you of the accessibility you originally paid for. They have done this twice to date

### 1/5 — Срочно

*2026-08-04*

приложение классное , пользуюсь уже несколько лет  
Но у меня пропали все предыдущие задачи , уже второй раз такая история и я ужасно этим огорчена

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Please update to the latest version of WeekCal if you haven't already. WeekCal displays the calendars connected to your device and does not store events directly. Please check that your calendar accounts are enabled under Settings > Calendar > Accounts, verify the correct calendars are selected in WeekCal, and refresh your calendar data by going to Settings > Calendar > Sync, selecting Events 6 Months Back, and then switching back to All Events. If your tasks are still missing, please contact us through Settings > Contact Support so we can investigate further and assist you.

### 1/5 — Trial to charge trick

*2026-08-04, version 16.3.2*

I was tricked by trial-straight-to-charge trick. It may be normal practice but that doesn’t mean it’s cool.

### 1/5 — Swipe between days and privacy lock problem

*2026-08-03, version 16.3.2*

Fork you! Now $25 per year doesn’t even buy the ability to swipe between days?!? I just paid and learned that.

I updated finally. I shouldn’t have. The previous skin was much better. Apparently that’s not an option now. It’s new skin or find a new app. Give users options!

Privacy lock requires me to touch the fingerprint icon THEN put finger on reader EVERY TIME?? That’s two steps, repeated many times per day, where one would do. You can do this.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2026-07-16, version 16.3.2*

Addendum:
Latest update leaves stupid screen overlays about signing up for weather updates, etc. GET THIS FIXED!!! 
AND LEAVE USERS ALONE, they know what they want and need!!!!

Thought this was a great app until update wiped out all entries and info.  Utter garbage!  System calendar may not have as many features but at least it keeps data!

### 1/5 — BS

*2026-07-14, version 16.3.2*

Can’t look past the current month cause I don’t have a “pro subscription”. Funny thing is, I paid for the pro version when this app first came out but they no longer honor it now that they charge by subscription. I should be grandfathered in!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-07, version 16.3.2*

Probably a user for ten years. Great feature set. Worth the subscription

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-07, version 16.3.2*

This app has everything I want and need in a calendar app. I looked long and hard and made the right decision!

### 5/5 — Must have!

*2026-07-24, version 16.3.2*

I have had this app since it came out and I love it! The mini month view is amazing. Can see everything on one screen. The customer service is amazing too. Had an issue and they resolved it immediately!

### 5/5 — My favourite tool!

*2026-07-17, version 16.3.2*

Been using it for years and simply love it. Keeps me organized and visually can see what’s important for each day.

### 5/5 — My Best App

*2026-07-16, version 16.3.2*

This my third review of 5 stars for Week Calendar.  The first app I ever bought because it was and continues to be my go to app (I can’t remember the purchase date -15+ years?) and continue to use and rely on it each and every day.  This app alone makes a smart phone useful to me.  Versatile, reliable, customizable, and user friendly.  My number one go to app.

### 5/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS!!

*2026-07-10, version 16.3.2*

Since the most recent update July 2nd or 3rd 2026, when I open an item to check or revise details, I cannot then get out of it to check another item because it stays frozen on the screen. I can only close the app and open again to continue.

UPDATE 7/9/26:  working fine again since today’s update. Thx.

### 5/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS!!

### 5/5 — Excellent Agenda

*2026-06-24, version 2.2*

I have been using this calendar for over 10 years - it is excellent, the key positive for me is the agenda view. It has a layout that is just like my week to a page diary was years ago, and that’s how my brain likes to work. 
It has all the functions of the apple diary, and more - so I wouldn’t be without it!

### 5/5 — Good app, easy to use

*2026-06-15, version 16.2.1*

Really easy to use. Color coding events help identify them. Monthly/weekly/daily views easy to work with.  Like the fact that updating my iPad updates iPhone

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2026-06-08, version 16.2.1*

For me I love the month view -I love how I can see everything I have going on.  🙌🏽
