★★★★★ "Used to be good. Greed has completely overtaken TimeTree. It used to be a good shared calendar with non invasive ads. Now they have pop ups take up the entire screen that you have to X out. Find a different calendar. I know I am now." - JDel427

★★★★★ "No family plan. With this app being a shared calendar app it makes no sense that there isn't a family plan to remove ads/premium experience and it's $45 a year per person. That's wild work." - Kaykay007

Used to be good
Greed has completely overtaken TimeTree. It used to be a good shared calendar with non invasive ads. Now they have pop ups take up the entire screen that you have to X out. Find a different calendar. I know I am now.
Not enjoying the premium experience
It is very difficult to move from week to day view. You are unable to click on a day to make it expand or using a pinch motion function on the screen to zoom in and out. Most of the functions feel hidden, like importing external calendar info, which must be done every time I update my external calendar. The support function doesn’t work without images and there’s no where to put in text information. With user interface updates this app would be very useful.
Add (+)
I really really hate that location of the add option. It obstructs the calendar. It should be placed back on the bottom toolbar.
Meh
Forced to use it
Lack of Export Ability
It’s a fine calendar for keeping up with family events and the color system does help. The reason I gave it one star is because it does not have the ability to export into my work calendar. I’m having to switch back-and-forth between calendars to determine if I can take a meeting or not. Fix this and it would be a good app.
Calendar Steps
Too many steps to do what you need to do, not fun and user friendly.
Ruined It
This app was fantastic before the latest updates. One of the best way to ruin an app is by reducing the QoL of basic free features to try to push users to pay for the poor quality monthly premium. They’ve done just that. Since the recent update I’ve been getting full pop up ads. It’s distracting and obnoxious. Making something that was free before paid (in this case the app being ad-free) makes users want to support you less. Offer better premium features if you want users to pay the subscription.
Revert Memo placement
Extremely annoying to leave memos for my family now. Not an upgrade at all to the UI we are all used to. An absolute downgrade in my honest opinion as someone who works in the same industry.
Doesn’t sync for family.
You will have to put everything in manually and then it will show twice on your own calendar. Takes all the convince out of a shared calendar. Wish I’d known before I paid for a yearly subscription
ads
too many ads, very annoying. other than that works well.
Difficult
I can’t delete certain events like birthdays. The instructions don’t work.
No family plan
With this app being a shared calendar app it makes no sense that there isn't a family plan to remove ads/premium experience and it's $45 a year per person. That's wild work.
I did love this app
In the last month it’s started glitching on me like crazy. It’s bad enough you’re trying to making people pay a premium mode for a damn calendar but now you’re messing the code up and I can’t see my events. I’m ready to leave
Love this app for family organization & multiple businesses. Glitches are not fun though.
Love how this app allows you to categorize our different calendars with color codes! I have recently been having issues where events placed on my calendar by shared users end up in the wrong day. VERY detrimental to my schedule and negates the entire purpose of using a calendar.
