It's a calendar app and has too many cookie traps. No thanksss
Weird. It asked me to rate it in app, I gave it 1 star, then it didn't take me to the play store? I wonder what would have happened if I pressed 5 stars in app...
Extremely slow. Screen kept freezing. I uninstalled after the 5th try.
Why are you forcing me to sync with other calendars? There is an option at first to sync, I did not check that but at the end, when I want to use the calendar it tells me it is not functional without access to my other calendars. WHY?? I specifically wanted a separate calendar for other types of tasks and I didn't want the info from other calendars to be mixed with this one. I wanted to keep them separate, for a different purpose. Why are you forcing the sync without possibility to opt out??
won't allow you to use the app if you don't give access to your pre-installed calender
This app is misleading. I thought it was a calendar. It will not allow you to create a new calendar. You have to use an existing calendar. I was wanting a calendar separate from my current calendar. But the app would not function without gaining access to your existing calendar. Useless!
forces you to sync to your Google calendar. I specifically want a calendar that's separate, if I already have Google calendar then what's the point of this app?
no customization for widget to show one calendar on one widget, and a different calendar on a second widget. :(
downloaded it and it wipped my calender all my dates. pissed...
Events keep disappearing from this calendar. I already missed several of them. What the hell is this?
The simple UI and themes may look nice, but it doesn't sync my calendars correctly, over half of them don't show up. (despite giving it permission)
can't use independent from other calendar
👎👎
useless
I need to be able to import calendars - I. e. formula One schedule. attempting to "add/edit calendar" only lets you make your own new calendar category.
no colors. unintuitive use. resets end date when toggling full day event. no selection of local state for holidays, ...
Shows all holidays but those celebrated by minority community in India
bought rating for very shity calendar
I downloaded this to have a completely separate calender from my other calender app. why do I have to connect them
To much messing about.option for large print and option for bold. so small can't read and certainly not bold
Can't be a stand alone calendar. I don't want to HAVE to sync to my other calendars, that's why I'm trying to download an app outside of my normal calendar in the first place. I don't want it synced with ANYTHING. Instant delete. What happened to simple apps?
not simple requires permissions...
required access to my other calendar, and I need something separate. wouldn't work without the permission.
Requires access to your Google Calendar to function
a porno add comes up everyday
this app looks like it has potential but for some reason on a white background it has chosen a light yellow font which makes it practically worthless. searching every possible menu choice I see no way to change this. Too bad.
unable to turn off notifications and if you can you didn't make it easy enough to do.
So I would have mailed u all.. Because I am sure there's something we can do about it... Because it feels simple... Anyhow my phone /Google calendar and the data on this app keeps overlapping.. The schedule I put on this app I want it separate but birthdays anniversaries keep showing up on my work schedule and vice versa... Please fix it
If can highlights the whole date and add Chinese lunar date is more better
Dumb, I wanted to use it for my bills without my personal but I couldn't use it without it telling me to connect my calendar on my phone already
