Scam
Was charged $20.80. I did not purchase this I signed up for the seven day trial. He told me I would be charged at the end of the trial.
Lost info
I lost every entry on my IPhone calendar 5 days ago
Harassment
I’ve been a user of this app for years and have the lifetime access. After a new update I am consistently harassed to “upgrade” even though I have lifetime pro access. It will block features from me until I close the app and reopen it. I’m worried that either myself or my wife is going to accidentally hit subscribe and end up paying for an app we paid for life years ago. People who supported you early on should not be harassed by your ads. Very frustrating.
Used to love it
Was my first go calendar, until recently. All the drag and drop features disappeared. You can’t double click on calendar events and have them open in month view. Just a big loss of features. If it gained them back, I’d keep the subscription. Used to be worth it. Apple Calendar is just as bad.
Lots of spam
I had loved this app until 2 mos ago.. I got tons of spam alerts that went directly into my calendar day, not text message, not email, but This calendar app, 8-10 spam messages a day. I finally had to transfer all of my events to calendar that comes with the iPhone. Very sad to have to delete this app, especially after just paying for another year recently, but now, No spam alerts.

Can’t cancel trail subscription!
Literally it will not let me cancel the subscription so my card can get charged.
Really annoying and the app makes it impossible to get it cancelled.

Frustrated
I can’t do multiple reminders or repeats anymore!!!!!
Bummer.
Bought this app yearssss ago. Now they charge a huge annual fee to continue to use the features you’ve already been using. Finding a new calendar app now.
new update makes recurring events require subscription
new update makes recurring events require subscription, deleting and getting something else. i can vibe code a calendar app myself if i want lol
Bad service
Someone was able to get in and my calendar and now I have a reminder every single day for the next forever how long about a bill I don’t owe and I can’t erase it
It’s a sad good bye
Beware of this 3rd party apt!! I loved this app for the past four years. BUT something has happened!!After a recent daylight saving time change on my phone, it triggered every event saved to iCloud to disappear and is UNRETRIEVABLE! I’m lost and frustrated having to start over.
SO upset.
I have used this app for about a decade and loved it. This morning I woke up and my entire calendar - past, present, future - is GONE. All of my important appointments, events, work deadlines, birthdays, etc. I restarted/updated my phone, followed the IT support instructions several times, tried WiFi and cellular data to refresh the app, and it’s still completely blank. Beyond frustrating.
A Step Back for Long-Time Users
I’ve been a loyal user of this calendar app for years, and I’m honestly very disappointed. Editing tasks used to be a free basic feature, but now it suddenly requires a paid subscription. I really don’t understand how a core function that was originally free can be moved behind a paywall.
It feels frustrating and unfair to long-time users who have supported this app for so long. Is this change meant to push existing users away? I truly can’t understand the decision. I hope the team will reconsider this update and think about the loyal users who helped the app grow.

Not very user-friendly
This application was helpful at first. However, as soon as I started adjusting the schedule-moving things around, adding things in, it kept creating duplicates of everything AND deleting every new entry. Very frustrating to deal with- as I’d make an edit and would not be able to remember the time adjustment I made. I’ve been trying to fix this schedule for the past 2 hours and keep running into the same issue…yet I’m supposed to be paying for this? Yeah ok. Would not recommend.
Not Syncing
Mac and Iphone IOS have stopped syncing, causing me hours of lost time for productivity. 😓
March 1, 2026: you now have to upgrade to a subscription package to have different colors for events
Do not get this app. You now have to upgrade to a subscription package simply to have different colors for color-coding your various events. This was free up until today. What a nickel-and-dime approach and enough for me to say, “I’m out. Finding another calendar app today.”
Doesn’t save
I have had this app for years and loved it! One day it randomly deleted all of my saved dates. I paid for the year subscription thinking it would all come back and it didn’t. I continued to use the calendar and add all my activities back in. After another year everything deleted again! All important dates and appointments gone! cancelling and getting a new app!
What is the meaning of lifetime for you?
Selling a lifetime subscription and updating the app and then reselling the lifetime subscription again and making it as a cycle
Not the One
This ap has erased itself and messed up my life twice and most recently got hacked and I had to delete it. Never again. Not sure how so many have rated it so well.
Everything gone!
I loved this app for yrs until right now. ALL my events & appointments in my calendar are done. Past, present & future. Home stuff, work stuff, birthdays… literally everything. It’s completely blank now. Im so frustrated!
Beware
I absolutely loved this app for at least 9 years, and have had everything stored there. Suddenly today I lost everything in the app. I’ve never had to log in for the past many many years, so I have no idea what my original login or email was, that I originally signed up with, because it must have been 9+ years ago. I’ve tried adding all my Gmail accounts and can’t recover any calendar items. This is devastating as I didn’t have them written down anywhere else. Be sure to record somewhere what account you use to sign in, otherwise years later you might lose your entire calendar and have to start back from scratch. I’m not sure why it worked all these years without me logging in, and now suddenly my stuff is gone! Such a weird thing and devastating.
Syncing Calendar
I cannot get my calendar to sync between my iPhone and my iPad. It used to work and now it doesn’t.
Downgraded
This used to be a great app. It no longer allows me to search for past appointments and does not sync with shared calendars. I add to my calendar on my computer and it does not show on their app on my iPhone.
Extra Costs!!
They finally got greedy! Now you have to PAY for recurring events! Long time user very disappointed! It was never a RECURRING charge.
Calendars don’t sync.
I cannot figure out why the app looks one way on my iPad and a completely different way on my iPhone. As of now, I can see a full list of tasks that I created on my iPad but when I open the app on the iPhone, there’s no tab for tasks. I had and paid for calendar 5 but then had to switch to this one because the first one was no longer gonna be supported. Can somebody please help before I lose my mind
Everything keeps getting wiped.
I really like this app so i ended up buying the premium, ever since then there have been a couple times where i open up the app and literally every event or task or anything is deleted. I have a bad memory which is why i yknow use a calendar, i cant keep re entering every single event including every one of my friends and familys birthdays.
What happened??
The latest updates have made this app practically unusable. It’s so tedious to navigate now, and ridiculously buggy - the worst being a daily app freeze often requiring a hard reboot of my phone just to restore usage.
Erasing
It erased everything on my calendar out of nowhere. Super frustrating.
Lost Data
EXTREMELY disappointed that the last iOS update and whatever’s going on with this app caused me to lose 15 yrs of calendar entries.
Calendar
Not great11 LOOKING FOR A unable to set email alertcc
Doesn’t show up events entered through Google calendar web
Really frustrated that the new version isn’t showing up my alarms set for calendar invites made in Google calendar on other devices.
Glitch removes my events
Every other week this thing occurs where some of the reoccurring events I have every week completely disappear. It’s extremely annoying to deal with and forces me to add that event all over again multiple times.
