Newton Calendar for Negative User Reviews
✓ No week view and not enough calendar support.I don't understand the purpose of this calendar app. I don't have access to my apple icloud calendars, which already makes it not usable for me. Also I don't see a week or day view (only month overview and list of tasks). What is the advantage of this calendar app over the default system calendar app? I don't see any. Why would I pay for something with less features/views/calendar support. Seeing that the developer is spending their resources on this useless app instead of concentrating on newton mail which still has critical shortcomings (like the basically useless search function or no fast/easy way to access archive or subfolders) is beyond me and will lead to me cancelling my account..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Do you have any other plan?Not all smart phone calendar use “Companion “ . If Newton calendar can get email and save to event which I designated someone’s email. then You can use companion I think It can be better more and more Because It is Newton!.Version: 9.8.135
✓ What’s the point?An iOS calendar app that doesn’t support native iCloud calendars?.Version: 9.8.135
✓ It keep crashing on my iPad ProThe app works ok on my phone, but on when I open the calendar on my iPad Pro it crashes after a few seconds. I have updated to IOS 11.2.6. I love the email app and hope they can get the calendar up to the same standards we have come to expect..Version: 9.8.172
✓ FailI had high hopes for this calendar since I'm very happy with the email app. Let's start with the app icon. It's terrible and doesn't look anything like what a calendar icon I feel should look like. For sure it looks ridiculous on my home screen. The calendar itself is hard to work with. To add an event requires multiple steps and the location feature isn't intuitive. It appears to be only Google based and locations thousands of miles away will show up instead or narrowing the list to somewhere close to where I am. With so many calendar apps available, this one doesn't bring anything new to the table. If I'm willing to choose the stock Apple calendar over this one, it must be pretty plain and unimpressive..Version: 9.8.143
✓ I agree. It’s a start.For a first run at a calendar app, they have made a strong start. It looks nice and entering an event seems pretty easy. It does lack a lot of the advanced features of other calendar apps. So, for now, I’m not leaving Week Cal. But I am excited to see what Newton has planed for this app and I plan to keep an open mind..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Needs more views.One single thing that makes calendar apps great, is the ability to view your appointments and days in different views. Something Newton lacks. A list view of all upcoming appointments for the next week, 30 days and year would be amazing. But right now, Newton isn’t useable. There are too many other better calendars out there. As for mail. Newton does mail right..Version: 10.0.14
✓ Crashes!Calendar app crashes when hitting plus/add calendar event button. Thinking I’ll just use the standard IOS calendar. Disappointed.Version: 9.8.302
✓ Good start, needs more supportNeeds support for iCloud calendars as well. I keep work and personal separate and need support for my iCloud calendar as well if this is going to be a true replacement. Like what I’m seeing so far though..Version: 9.8.135
✓ No iCloud mail support?Love the Newton Mail app and was really excited to see this new companion app but there’s no iCloud mail support so this needs to happen ASAP..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Too basic, buggyNo support for iCloud calendars, can't set preferences, settings sections don't show anything..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Rarely worksTerrible now. App hasn’t updated in a year. Won’t refresh. Stay away.Version: 10.0.45
✓ Needs Support for iCloud and Work Day StartGreat app - intuitive and easy to use. This definitely needs iCloud sync support, I run a company and my personal life is almost as busy as my business life with other various projects that bring in income. In the settings the earliest “work start day” can only be set at 8:00AM as the earliest... my days normally start at 5:00AM... I’m not sure how this affects how the app behaves elsewhere yet..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Beautiful but buggy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ UX This app is beautiful and easy to use. The UX is mostly great. Adding events is easy with some nice AI to interpret dates and time to speed up the process. ⭐️⭐️ for bugs There are several bugs that have persisted for months on end. Syncing problems: Syncing requires opening the app. I get notifications for events that no longer exist and haven’t for days or weeks. Sometimes canceled or deleted events don’t go away at all. Setting a location is a feature but somehow has never worked. It will show locations that were added outside of this app, though. Missing common features: - Cannot move events between calendars - Years later, still cannot sync iCloud account Don’t get me wrong. I have mad respect for the Newton team. I realize Newton has been though rough a rollercoaster ride over the years, shutting down, coming back, and then all over again. I get that the mail app is the core product that should regained lost ground first. But the state this app is in has made it almost unusable compared to the standard iCal app. It’s been almost a year without any updates. The syncing issues are the dealbreaker for me. If I can’t reliably see what’s in my calendar, even after manually syncing from opening the app (as opposed to watching notifications), then I can’t really rely on it to tell me what my day holds. So until this gets revamped, I’m moving back to iCal..Version: 10.0.45
✓ Make Newton Mail great first please.This calendar doesn’t stay synced so you’ll miss meetings if you don’t check your other calendar apps (using Google Calendar). I really wish they would add simple functions like text formatting to Newton Mail before flitting off to tackle calendars. I paid the premium price believing development would continue, but alas, no updates yet. If this app doesn’t work how want out of the box don’t hold your breath for improvements..Version: 9.8.135
✓ MehYet one more simple cal app, it does nothing more than the default ios calendar... and WAY too many things less. Nice graphics, but that’s really it.Version: 10.0.45
✓ Generally unhappy with the bugginess of the Newton SuiteIf I hadn’t paid for it, I’d have stopped using it..Version: 10.0.32
✓ App stubbornly refuses to update calendarsHit the refresh button, force exit app, no changes appear after many hours..Version: 9.8.135
✓ ProblemI do not want a program where I have to sign in. There should be a way to have a program without signing into something. I delete all that asks one to sign in.....Version: 9.8.143
✓ App CrashesI just installed the app and every time I open it my phone restarts. I get the skinning wheel with a black screen for a few seconds then I get the lock screen. If it doesn't get resolved before my 14 day trial period is up I'll be uninstalling both the calendar app and the mail app..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Needs a lot more polishCool to see Newton coming out with a calendar. Will be very exciting if we can sync with Meetup in the future. Unfortunately in it’s current state, it crashes too much to be useful. UI is pretty though..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Needs IOS & Newton Mail integrationNeeds integration with: - Apple calendar and reminders - Newton Email (companion).Version: 9.8.143
✓ Too basicDepend on the weekly view iCal provides. Dislike the fact that there is not version for my MacBook..Version: 10.0.32
✓ Support for Apple Cal?I tried to use the app in beta and in final release but all my calendars are using the ical standard and while that might not be the most popular I use it 24/7. I hope the app is updated soon to take advantage of ical or I will have to stick with Apple’s calendar app and Fantastical..Version: 9.8.135
✓ Unethical, repeatedly price gougePurchased a recurring subscription on sale, advertised as being for-life. Newton then decided to "shut-down" for a month and then relaunch and not honor that deal because it had "shut-down". Highly deceptive and unethical business practice that shows they don't care at all about their early loyal users or to adhere to offers they've made..Version: 10.0.45
✓ Still needs a lot of workThis is a nicely designed app. I downloaded it due to already using Newton. But this app lacks a weekly or monthly view. There are already much more functional calendar apps on the market. This app needs some serious work. Now that Newton is back perhaps they will be able to develop this app to be more functional..Version: 10.0.14
✓ Warming upHi, you’ve been warming up for more than 24 hours now. I need access to my carefully-scheduled life, you know..Version: 9.8.172
✓ Good potential, lacking executionNice design, but lacking in execution. The colors of my calendars are nowhere near the same as they are on all of my other calendars. Just let the user set their own colors. Problem solved. Also, calendar invites in Newton do not seem to work and open up this calendar app anymore. More frequent updates might be nice. Also, it would be great if you let your users know what features you’re working on, what is planned, and what has been completed. We do pay for a subscription, so not keeping your users in the dark would be great!.Version: 9.8.172
✓ App doesn’t work.App won’t even load! It used to be fine. Then the home screen widget stopped working. I emailed support, 2 months ago, and they said they are aware of it, and are working on a fix. Now the app won’t even start! It just says warming up, please wait... The companion mail app. Newton, constantly crashes when typing emails. So it’s useless too! It was the only app that would let me connect to our corporate mail server, so I paid the $70 for a year subscription. It all worked for a while, and now.... Terrible support. Waste of money! iPhone XS. 13.2.3..Version: 10.0.32
✓ Crashes constantlyI paid for subscription and at first couldn’t be happier. As time went on the app keeps crashing and doesn’t send out the invites to attendees when it does my notes in the invite get sent out as gibberish . Regret paying for the app.Version: 10.0.45
✓ Missing key featuresI know that desired features are subjective, but many key features are missing from this app. To me this is unacceptable when the app exists behind a subscription pay wall. The app has only one view, and it’s a schedule view. This view makes it really tough to see when you’re double booked or how much free time you have between events. The calendar indicators aren’t prominent enough. I’m talking about the colored dots that indicate to which calendar an event belongs. It’s hard to see, at a glance, when an event belongs to me or another team calendar that I monitor. The “notes” section truncated Google calendar invites that contain Meet or Hangout video conference details. The stock iOS calendar app includes them. The net effect is that I can’t join Google video conferences from this app. This is a significant hinderance. Finally, there’s no visual indicator to show where you are in your day chronologically. Just now I launched the app at 9:51 and it started in the morning of the current day. That’s annoying. All of these result in a huge miss for me and add to the growing list of Newton releases that add no value, in my opinion..Version: 9.8.367
✓ Needs major workThis could be a great calendar app with some simple updates. The biggest is a smart date and location recognition feature. There are too many steps to entering a calendar event. Because of this and the constant app crashes, it gets 1 star. Just by adding the smart recognition, it would Boost this app to 4 stars. Really disappointed considering the Newton mail app is amazing. Looks like they put all of their time and resources into the mail app and not the calendar..Version: 9.8.302
✓ Constant prompts to subscribeAnytime I load this up it prompts to say it’s not the best experience and to subscribe. I just want to add an event without interruption every single time. Is that really too much to ask..Version: 10.0.45
✓ Doesn’t have support for iCloud or Outlook Calendars.I use Fantastical/Flexbits but I wanted to take a look at Newton Calendar to try and consolidate my spending each year. I use iCloud for my calendar and it isn’t supported. Says in the FAQ “coming soon” but that could mean anything. 1 star for being available on Apple and not accepting/utilizing iCloud Calendar. App looks nice and I’m sure it functions ok but I can’t use it..Version: 10.0.45
✓ Can’t do it without iCloud supportICloud calendar support is a requirement for me and the way I’m set up. I just can’t use this app without it. It’s unfortunate as it does the best job of visually distinguishing days and events while hiding complexity. iCloud is where I keep my home life organized while we use a different service at my work. I need to see everything..Version: 10.0.14
✓ Glad Newton is back, but...Can we please get a watch complication? I'm a paid (again) subscriber of Newton and choose to stay within your family of apps, but using your new source of funds to further development of the calendar app (Mac support?) would be a great move for long-time supporters..Version: 10.0.11
✓ Does not Support Exchange ActiveSync! Cannot Use! :(We love Newton Mail, which works great! However, Newton Calendar shockingly does not support the extremely popular Exchange ActiveSync, so we (and hundreds of millions of other users) cannot use Newton Calendar! (All per emails from Anunay in Newton Tech Support) It is absolutely shocking, and very disappointing, that an otherwise high-quality company such as CloudMagic would release a calendar app that is flagrantly missing support for one of the world’s most popular calendar standards! You can do much better, CloudMagic! Please fix Newton Calemdar! Thanks!.Version: 9.8.135
✓ Great startPromising competitor in the iOS calendar app line up. There are little UI things that I find irksome, but I’m sure things will be further smoothed out with time. I won’t be leaving Fantastical for Newton until managing many calendars on 4 or 5 accounts becomes less cumbersome. But I’m excited to see how this app evolves!.Version: 9.8.135
✓ Crashes as soon as you go to settingsAnd yes I’m on the latest version of iOS. The developer said it would be fixed “in the next update” on December 13. The most recent update was January 28th. It’s ridiculous this isn’t fixed..Version: 9.8.172
✓ Great start from a great developerSo far, the app is working great for a first try. There’s a lot of improvement that can be done though and I know that this dev can do it. I would love to see added different view modes (The ability to change between month, multiple days, and day mode. Similar to how iOS does their’s.), A to-do function (being able to have something similar to the reminders app inside would be amazing), and finally, more settings we can play around with would be great. I would love to switch over to using this full-time, the colors are great, design is beautiful, just a little more functionality it would be perfect..Version: 9.8.135
✓ No Apple Watch appThis calendar and the mail app seem fine but they lack an Apple Watch app. I don’t know why I would continue using this without being able to check what my next meeting is on my watch..Version: 10.0.45
✓ Never warmed upDownloaded the app on iPhone XS, started it, then It just stuck on the warm up page forever.....Version: 10.0.32
✓ Trying too hard, needs to focus on the basicsTwo things drive me insane about this app: 1. The calendar is never up to date ( I assume because the background sync doesn’t work). 2. Creating calendar appointments using a single line that tries to interpret what you me an is an error prone painful useless innovation. All I want is a calendar that stays up to date and let’s me accurately and easily book appointments. This isn’t that. *You should try their email app Newton though - it’s excellent..Version: 10.0.45
✓ Good until it stopped workingThis works great on my iPad and was the same on my phone then it simply stopped working with a message of Warming up. Please wait. It’s been like that on my phone for weeks now with no sign of a fix..Version: 10.0.45
