Awesome Calendar for Negative User Reviews
✓ Pretty Good, I Love All the Emojis, except for........how at least 3/4 of all of the emojis on this app would never, ever & I repeat, never be used on a calendar & I'm not exaggerating. I ask myself constantly while using it why there are hardly any emojis that I could use for a calendar. For instance, no cleaning lady emoji, but I swear that's not the only oversight as there are tons. But there are plenty of "I Feel Sad" or "I Feel Happy" "Lol" "What's Up" "Hahahaha" type emojis lol. Ntm the emojis that are text are almost all completely irrelevant when it comes to a calendar & more like gifs for chat, artwork or an art journal. Also, there is no way to do a word search thru all the tons of mostly irrelevant emojis, so one must actually look at each one individually until you find one to match your calendar event (if there even is one to match your calendar event), which takes alot of extra time. There is also a bug that whenever one leaves the app to glance at another and come back, the calendar's bottom emoji menu disappears so one must then scrap everything and close/reopen it if editing an item. Otherwise this app is ok. It has alot of Xmas, Halloween, dentist & Dr. emojis. It also allows one to pick whatever monthly calendar background you want to use from your own saved photos or wallpapers..Version: 5.17.1
✓ Not enough featuresVery similar to free apps aside from being able to see the weather and add emojis (not even all emojis are available). It's a nice app but there are nowhere near enough features for this price. Should at the very least have access too all emojis, perhaps a dark theme etc..Version: 5.6.7
✓ Great app but crashes when inviting contacts to eventsGreat app but crashes when inviting contacts to calendar events. This bug really minimizes it’s value for me..Version: 5.7.6
✓ Can’t set alarm or notifications for birthdaysWhen I set an alarm I’d love the reminder function to remind me in an 15 min or and hrs time about the reminder for appointment or birthday etc until I’ve cleared it 🙂.Version: 5.16
✓ What happened to logicWho’s the genius decided to hide tasks where the sun don’t shine. I mean this is productivity tool, not pleasure tool? I was so excited to purchase this app because it claims to sync with google tasks? And it does! But in order to see or manage the tasks, you need to be of same or genius like the developer, and figure out where would you stick pleasure tools usually if you were him. I mean instead of having one little icon on the bottom to take you to tasks! Instead you have to figure to click on search, then figure that in search there is an icon for tasks, and then when you click on tasks, you find this little small teeny weeny task manager that hardly stands up for normal tasks manager. I guess They got my $10 and money is wasted. And I removed the app immediately..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Lack of notification alarm, no customer supportI have used this app, paid version, for 2 years. customer support has been lacking. #1 A crash caused all data to be deleted. I had to figure out how to get my phone to go back to iOS cloud backup copy to get my life back. #2 The biggest feature that has left me looking for an alternative is the lack of notification/ alarm sound. The notification sound can not be changed. It quietly dings once and that's it. I need to have certain appts keep notifying me like an alarm that I must dismiss to make the sound stop. #3 a glitch that keeps changing my notification to "9 hours after". #4 no online videos that are helpful or full manual to properly figure out how to use this calendar. I still can't figure out reminders and tasks and what shows were and how to get them to show up etc. an online support forum would be especially useful. ----- For a calendar that is suppose to check all the boxes, the lack of a "alarm" style notification option attached to an appt or other entry is major disappointment. I've had to supplement the awesome cal with CalAlarm in an attempt to make something work for me. Too expensive to realize later the frustration and think-arounds are too time consuming..Version: 5.5
✓ Just lost everythingI opened my calendar and noticed nothing is there, none of my appointments, work schedules, nothing! So not cool! Guess I need to go back to pen and paper..... old school it is! There is no option to back up the calendar! This is absolutely ridiculous!.Version: 5.17.1
✓ Very nice calendar but....The interface is very clean and I really like the Filofax view but I think for £9.99 I should receive an app that it up to date and that uses all the potential aspects of iOS. It should have a dark mode by now. It should include a widget. It should have an Apple Watch app and complication. When it does, it will be an easy 5 stars.Version: 5.9
✓ Great appI got this app because it had the moon phases for Canada. Why did you remove it?.Version: 5.6.3
✓ Annoying GlitchesUsed this app for years…but for the past year or so, it has had two extremely annoying and time wasting glitches: Date Time function and trying to simply set a time that crosses the noon hour…back and forth as it autocorrects to A.M. when I want P.M., etc. The second is its assumption that when I use a day or time description in my Event, the app changes the date I’ve entered. i.e. I write ‘Hold for TONIGHT’ on an Event in 3 days and the app changes my date to, literally, tonight. Ugh. Stop the auto corrections! Or gives the option to stop them..Version: 5.17.1
✓ Updated reviewStill our family’s fav iPhone calendar app! But without Dark Mode or Apple Watch support, it’s out of date. There’s also a bug defaulting to 2 alerts. The new app Awesome Cal 2 version addresses these issues, but is not the same calendar display and without the fantastic customizations this one has. Can’t these two be integrated? Been using it since 2011 and still our family go to calendar. The display layout is beautiful, yet simple. Plenty of customizations available. It supports multiple, shareable calendars and notes. It’s SO reliable and easy to add events. Sync all past events forever or choose a time frame. I love the monthly view the best! Seeing the whole month all you events for the in one glance is extremely useful. And with One-button push, I can see weekly or daily agenda. As good as it is, there are a few things needed to bring it up to today’s iOS14 standard: - dark mode support. I’m surprised we don’t have this yet!! Need the ability to attach a photo to a specific event. Yea one can be added to a note, but a note doesn’t save the same purpose as an event. No alerts attached to those. - Alerts keep defaulting to two of them, forcing me to go back in to delete one. - the date clicker gets confused sometimes between am/pm settings edit especially when noon is involved. I would also LOVE an Apple Watch version..Version: 5.17.1
✓ ProblemFor me does not keep all data despite pushing the required buttons, keeps loosing previous data??????.Version: 5.16
✓ Great… and annoyingI’ve been using this app for years but there are a couple fatal flaws: 1. There is no way to get rid of the baloney “holidays”, birthdays and other chaff that comes seemingly out of nowhere in the app. 2. It is absolutely maddening when the app will delete part of what you type in an effort to “help” you, or when a calendar entry disappears completely after saving it for no reason. Tonight I chucked my phone across the room because of this—TWICE. No reason for this whatsoever and it makes me wish there was a better app available so I could drop this one like a bad habit. But there isn’t one better, unfortunately..Version: 5.17.1
✓ Needs improvementGreat app in concept but frustrating to use at times. When changing colours of events they will change back to default. At times erases information on events. Would like to see improvements in these areas..Version: 5.6.3
✓ App on iPhone doesn’t work, but on iPad does. How to deal with that?Awesome Cal. is really a good app. But it doesn’t work in my phone while only works in my iPad for ages. I tried to contact with Apple, but it can’t be dealt with. So the staff there suggested me to contact with the app developer. Can I get the help to deal with that problem for me here?.Version: 5.16
✓ All My Calendar events just vanishedAll My Calendar events just vanished - no help to get them back.Version: 5.17.1
✓ Calendar connection is rubbishWould be a great calendar if it actually connected and synced my google account. It automatically syncs and Microsoft accounts, I want to sync my google calendar. Everything is linked, but it will not show the google calendar in my calendar listing. Completely useless. What’s worse, I upgraded paying £9.99 to get the most from this app. Complete waste of money. If this is fixed, I will edit my review..Version: 5.14
✓ Must try harderIt is a mostly usable diary for forward appointments. BUT you must be very careful in the words you use for “Events” because if for instance you put a note in a future day that uses the word “today” the diary does not enter on the date you wanted it, instead it adds the note to the current day. One can not emphasize how incredibly annoying this is. If there was ANY other forward diary that gave a decent week view than this I would use it. There are various other trip up words that cause the app to change your entrys and it spoils the whole app..Version: 5.9
✓ Mostly easy to useSometimes found it hard to navigate across dates..Version: 2.1.2
✓ False advertisingWe were really looking forward to this app to help with our busy lives. It sounded like exactly what we needed. Unfortunately we had troubles figuring it out and after a few emails sent asking for help, we received nothing. Also, it says it will link with any calendar that’s compatible with IPhone and I have two calendars that I use every day and it didn’t sync with either of them. Another reason we aren’t giving much of a rating. We are currently trying to get our money back and are still waiting to hear back..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Okay but a bit clutteredIs fairly decent but it looks a bit cluttered so difficult to quickly scan over a month..Version: 3.2
✓ Latest update version 5.17I had 10 years worth of notes and stickers to be all deleted with this new update. Even when I add a new note with this updated version, I can only add one before it crashes and the app shuts down. I have to constantly close out the app and what’s the use of syncing notes with iCloud? It didn’t bring my notes back at all and it just keeps syncing endlessly without any results. I loved this calendar. Past tense. All the data I typed from appointments to vacation itineraries to random notes are all gone! I am NOT happy! Update: 2/1/22 I had deleted the app thinking it would help restore my notes but it didn’t then when the update came nothing came back. My mistake. However on my iPad everything restored since I left it alone, so I thought I could just sync it so my iPhone will also get the notes but it just keeps syncing endlessly. I even set my settings to never turn off so the syncing could complete over night. It synced for 8 hours with no results. Please fix the syncing feature so both my iPad and iPhone are the same for the notes. Update 2/1/22 I tried to sync my iPad and iPhone since all my notes only appeared on my iPad so I turned off iCloud Drive, and iCloud note, turned it back on and lost my notes again!!! I regret these updates..Version: 5.17.1
✓ All my list ‘to do’ has disappearedI paid for this application and suddenly it lets me down , I tried to get a refund but in the system showing that I didn’t pay anything for it.Version: 5.17
✓ ProblemThere is an annoying and serious fault with this calendar. When trying to open Events to find out what you have booked for the next few days the app insists on opening three months ago, & it doesn't matter what you do you can't make it open in November. You have to go through every day from August to November to see this week's bookings. It's a waste of time & frustrating..Version: 5.0
✓ Bogging downI have tried deleting and reinstalling the Awesome Calendar, but it still takes a long time to sync when I start it. It just freezes. The widget cal app is responsive! Sometimes crashes..Version: 5.11
✓ Can’t share with familyI used the calendar for few years and is great for me .now it very important to have an option to share with family ,But I spend hours to figure it out - and nothing works. Very pity ,I have to give up and look for another app which let users share it with family..Version: 5.16
✓ Love this but not the minor flawI absolutely love this calendar app! I’ve been using this one for a long time and have tried many in the past and they don’t compare. The only downside and extremely annoying thing about this app is when I put in an all-day event it defaults into two alert times. In the settings section of the app under the default alert times I have the all-day alert times set to none for both sections and have had it that way forever. Now when I make an all day event the alert times aren’t there, which is what I ultimately want, when I save it but when I go back into the event to review it there are now two alert times that have populated, which keep in mind I’ve changed that in settings to “none”. It gets extremely annoying especially when I have a recurring monthly event (just so I don’t forget about certain things) and it takes me 5 or so minutes to get rid of the alert notification for all of the events. If this could be somehow fixed it would be a 5 star review higher if that allowed!.Version: 5.7
✓ It's sadIt was good in my iPad 2. But now can't transfer to my new iPad, nor can I transfer all info across to free version. Very disappointing.Version: 5.6.3
✓ Problems with new updateI’ve been a user of your calendar for years! But with this recent update, it deleted all my notes!!! And crashing as well! Please fix!! This is disappointing.Version: 5.17
✓ SyncThis app is good. It does not sync with my contacts to fill in location then show on google map. Very disappointing.Version: 5.14
✓ App ReviewFind this app quite good to work with but would like to see a few things- The edit bubble in the To Do is too high to be able to view easy Would like to be able to set a default calendar eg business, personal etc Feel it would be great to set dates off a month calendar rather than the tumble wheel - easier to see future days and dates Align the save, done etc buttons on the same side of the screen eg right to allow quicker move through functions When adding an event default to the event name rather than another touch - this could be done on all added functions as when you are looking to add you should start at the top I rely on my calendar each and every day so to be able to add information quickly is a big bonus. Having events, to do and notes in one place is ready convienent and business savy. Has the potential to be a great app..Version: 3.2
✓ Multiple devicesI have multiple devices and I shouldn’t have to decline an invitation on each device. Once I decline on one, it should sync to all. Also I like that new notes sync to all devices but when you delete them they don’t. Otherwise, I love this app. Please add the ball of yarn to the emojis. Thanks for a great app. Just upgraded the app and it wiped out all my stickers and notes. Then it started crashing repeatedly. !!!.Version: 5.17
✓ Ripp off. Different then adverted.Do not believe the images. The real application is ridiculously ordinary. All descriptions and images are is teribbly misleading. I’ve sent 5-6 emails and opened tickets but no reply from them. Basically I’ve been ripped off..Version: 5.16
✓ Nice app except..Works well minus the fact my notes are being erased sometimes which is a pain. Please fix it. I paid good money for this app.Version: 5.7.3
✓ Very Frustrating!!!My husband and I have used this app for the past 5-6 years. It’s worked well for us overall to keep up with each other’s schedules. My husband has been using an iPhone X and I had an iPhone 6s without any problems. This past January I bought an IPhone XS and have had nothing but problems with this app in particular. I put dates in and the time for appointments but EVERYTIME I go to put the ending time the dates change to the next day, or the arrival time changes to 12am! I have deleted and reinstalled the app twice, I deleted my cloud backup and restarted as a new phone. I’m to the point of looking for a new calendar 😏, which is unfortunate since before this year everything has worked really well..Version: 5.7
✓ Crashing with recent updateThis app keeps crashing with the most recent update. At first it won’t let me enter a new reminder. Now it won’t let me put a check mark on completed task and I also can’t see the icons on the bottom of the screen now. I used to depend on this app. Please fix it.Version: 5.7.2
✓ Needs workI liked a few features of this app but finally gave up using it after about 2 years of dealing with the same frustrating problem that they never got around to fixing. About 70% of the time when I entered an event, the app would refuse to let me change the duration of the event. I could set the start time but when I tried set the end time it would change the start time. Then when I tried to move the start time back, it would move the end time again. There seemed to be no way around it. My calendar was full of events that overlapped. I finally found an app with an interface I liked AND that didn’t have this annoying problem. (I have an iPhone 8.).Version: 5.7
✓ Only ok but easily could be greatThis is an ok calendar with task sync thru google and calendar sync..... BUT the lovely lists in tasks don't sync nor do colours, nor do notes. What this needs is a full app sync thru iCloud so I can add what I need on either iPhone or iPad. Please fix!.Version: 3.1
✓ Time for a big functional and aesthetic update with new fun sticker packTime for a big functional and aesthetic update with new fun sticker pack.Version: 5.17.1
✓ Was my favKeeps sending me reminders that are linked to my apple reminder app even after I turned all reminder notifications off and deleted the reminders under the calendars. So i deleted the app which is a shame because I really liked the calendar just didn’t need doubling up on reminders..Version: 5.7.6
✓ Good calendar but with some drawbacksOverall a good calendar; clear and with good options. There are some issues, though: - setting up a template event is convoluted and then it does not sync across devices, so you have to repeat it all again. - using a template is also a pain. It’s a three step process to get to the template rather than a log press and select the template. - there is no included widget I’m not going to update to a later version as the app is moving to a subscription rather than outright purchase. Apple already provide a free calendar that is slowly catching-up on what I need, so why would I pay monthly? Update December 2023 - no fixes and no feedback. Also noticed that you can’t edit a template. Update December 2023 - when I move one event in a repeat series it has started changing the colour of the text from the allocated template to something random..Version: 5.17.1
✓ ChangedI have used this calendar for years now mainly because it’s free, but it is also the best calendar. The past year or so though it has been doing something REALLY annoying and that’s why I can now only give it 3 stars. It use to be when you create an event on the calendar you pick the color you want it to be, save it and then it would show the event that color on the calendar. Something happened about a year ago where when you create an event, choose the color, save it, but when you go to the calendar it defaults back to the main default color and you have to re-open the event and select the color again and re-save it before it will take the color you chose. It’s really annoying to have to open every event twice when creating it to get the color you want. For a while I thought it was just a glitch and would get fixed, but it’s been nearly a year and it’s still doing it. Why even have the choice to add a color when originally creating the event if it won’t stay that color? If I didn’t have 10 events almost every day on my calendar it may not be so annoying, but I’m really starting to get fed up with it..Version: 5.17.1
✓ Pretty goodI chose this app because I like that you can see your appointments from month view and then I tried the Lite version and liked that I could customise my calendar. My biggest problem is that when you set up an alert to remind you of something and then you change the date or time, the alert doesn’t change with the new time which means you can miss things like I did. For example if you’ve set an alert to go off 15 minutes before something but then you change the time, the alert will still go off 15 mins before the old time. I’m very annoyed and wish that I hadn’t spent money on this. All the buttons can also be quite confusing at first and take some getting used to..Version: 5.7
✓ Needs some ChangesI purchased this app several years ago and it’s same ole same ole. It’s rather boring. It would be nice to personalize it more. Maybe pictures in the background of the calendar. If not our own photos, how about photos of animals, tropical, mountains, or outer space that you provide. Give us some fun! Also something that is driving me crazy is the holidays. There are way too many listed for the US holidays. It clutters my calendar. The most common ones need to be listed. The ones that affect our lives such as the holidays that we have no school or no work. The ones that cause the banks to be closed. If you are not going to give us options for common US holidays vs less common US holidays, then you should at least give us the option to delete them from our calendar. We paid for this app for “our” use, not anyone else’s. Please fix this. Other than these two issues, I love this app. I’d love to come back and change my rating. Thanks for your time!.Version: 5.6.3
