★★★★★ "Not age appropriate. I thought this was just a calendar app. This app is for 4+ years and I just got a very explicit and 18+ ad. Imagine opening this at school work or in front of your grandma to save a date and you get whatever that was!" - Anonymous----

BS
Planner is blocked so I can’t add any events!
Nope still freezes
App froze within a minute of opening. I couldn’t even get through the first screen before it locked up. Tried closing and reopening it and it did the exact same thing again.
I now remember why I uninstalled this before. Still doesn’t work.
Rejected and uninstalled.

Not easy to use
I’m looking for a simple, basic easy to use calendar with holidays included. I can’t seem to find it.
Bought the pro version and now bugs make it unusable
All of a sudden I am unable to even scroll in most menus. The add new calendar button is also non functional. I have restarted my phone and uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still is broken. Waste of $11 bucks.
Doesn’t have sync with reminders IOS
Everything is fine, the application is good, it looks like I like it without any tinsher everything is clear, BUT why is there no synchronization with "reminders"???
Widget missing
Widget missing after update
No preview
There is not an option to see a preview of what event there is on a day, just a small little underline that is hard to see. Disappointed since that’s the whole idea of the widget. Paid $11 for nothing more than to change the colors and have “no adds” Yeah. It’s a no.
so close, yet so far
loved the look of the app, downloaded the app, set it up, saw subscription fee that included features like custom icons, custom colors (very very basic stuff), immediately deleted app. do better and either cut the subscription fee or keep it but offer better features other than the ones you are currently offering. so many calendar apps offer your paid features for free. being a money hungry capitalistic business isn’t a good look but that’s what you are currently
Loved it until everything disappeared
I’ve used Minical for 3+ years and trusted it to store all my important info - including trips, personal information, life events. I never used Gmail or iCloud calendars with it; I just used the app itself. But recently I tried syncing my Gmail to use Minical across devices (like my iPad), and after removing and re-adding the Gmail account, everything disappeared. None of my data was saved to Gmail or iCloud, so there’s nowhere for it to pull from.
I never deleted the app, and it still shows 155MB of documents/data in my iPhone storage, so I know the data must still be on my phone somewhere.
Please help me recover it - this app meant a lot to me, and this has been really distressing. I can’t find a direct support email anywhere. I’m begging someone from the team to respond. I need to recover this data. Please contact me or tell me how I can reach you.

Amazing BUT….
The app is great, the UI is great but it’s missing one feature, the ability to add attendees when scheduling a meeting!
Deleted all my events out of the blue!
I absolutely loved this app!! But today I went to check my schedule and everything is deleted. I’m absolutely freaking out and I have no idea how to fix it. Please help me!!!
STUPID ADS
The ads in this app are making me want to rip my hair out. I won’t be using this app anymore. The ads have become so intrusive and inconvenient and rage inducing.
lost everything
loved this calendar and used it for almost a year until it randomly deleted all my events without a warning, now i dont remember what i had coming up and there was no way to get it back. i wont recommend to use for a long period of time
Deleted
All of my events were deleted TWICE.
Way too complicated
I bought the app to have a separate calendar that was not synchronized to anything else!!! Several pages of instructions to do that!!! No thanks! I deleted it!
