✓ App needs to be in foreground before it picks up eventsApp does not clearly says what “activating” the app means. Activating in their weird world mean that app has to be bought in foreground. So if you get new meeting invites all day, you are out of luck. Unless you continue to click on the app and continue to bring in foreground all the time. Who will do that? It may be due to whatever reason. But at least false advertising needs to be removed. Replace “activate” by “bring to foreground”.PanktrivVersion: 5.08

✓ Almost perfect. BUTDevelopers PLEASE CHANGE the way that we select dates and times. Currently its a spinner. This is too time consuming and more chances for error when setting appointments. PLEASE CHANGE THE SELECTOR TO AN ACTUAL CALENDAR. Its faster much faster, more accurate and less frustrating. Or allow users to have an option to select either/or, then it would be perfect. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS CHANGE ASAP. Btw.. i never write review but the spinner is a thorn in my side. App would be perfect then!!! Thanks.AN NickoleVersion: 4.30

✓ THIS USED TO BE MY FAVORITEUp until 2 weeks ago when not only did ALL of my calendar entries (many many years) get wiped out, but ALL of my future appointments/entries are also GONE. The only entries/appointments that currently show up in CalAlarm are for the month of August 2020. ONE MONTH, that’s it!! The remainder of my CalAlarm calendar is completely BLANK!! The Apple calendar on my phone (whose format I HATE) has my information but your app has stopped mirroring my entoApple calendar. I repeatedly contacted and communicated this issue with Kim (Devart Support) and, frustratingly, have gotten absolutely nowhere other than being told by Kim that the issue is an IOS issue and I should take my complaints to Apple. Well, I DID. And even though Apple does not technically have to provide support for issues relating to Third Party Apps (i.e. yours), they graciously spent hours on the phone with me troubleshooting and trying to figure out the issue with YOUR APP. Apple cannot understand why your app isn’t working properly either! They also definitively told me it is NOT an IOS issue as diagnosed by Kim. So after my marathon troubleshooting phone call with Apple, I contacted Kim again to advise of the outcome and have not received a response or any indication that Devart is remotely interested in taking responsibility for its own app and fix the issue with my CalAlarm calendar. An app I purchased..Mouse2365Version: 6.01

✓ Bug? Needs password to snooze!Not a bad app. It's a calendar app like many others but it has the nagging snooze which importantly reminds you of upcoming and keeps reminding until you actually CLOSE or SNOOZE or MOVE the event. Only 1 fundamental problem: when you get the reminder on the notification screen and 3d push on it to snooze or close or move the reminder You also need to enter your password/pin/fingerprint. AND THIS IS ANNOYING..JenkisanVersion: 4.32

✓ Does not workApp crashes whenever I try to create a new event. It's also tied to icloud by default and I'm not able to get it to sync with google calendar..VortexualVersion: 5.04

✓ A couple of issuesI use it for the “nag” feature. If you create an event in Google calendar, it uses the alert from there, which is good, but although I have new event defaults set for no alert in the app, it adds an extra alert to every event, which is annoying. Also, when I open an event alert, 70% of the time, when I click a snooze time, it doesn’t respond for about 30 seconds, locking up the whole app..PL2013aVersion: 6.11

✓ Recent upgrade buggy, useless for me.I used the previous version of this app every day for five+ years and it was an indispensable part of my life. Since the recent paid update, I've been in touch with the developer about an issue with the alarm duration which has rendered the app useless to me, but they have simply pointed me to the relevant help note. They seem completely oblivious to the bug, as I've been waiting for them to fix it for months with no result. I'm giving up as of today. What a shame for what was one of the best apps in the AppStore..MrdbowmanVersion: 4.04

✓ Great App, But!!!!!!!!Hello team, Just a couple things. I love using this calendar however there are a few annoyances. 1, on the Dayview appointments that are scheduled back to back sort of bleed into each other, hard to tell where one in end and the begins. 2, when tapping and holding on an appointment in Day view to drag it up or down to reschedule, it sometimes disappears from the current day and moves itself to another day 3, The text on the appointments in day view are always BOLD. is there way to choose to change that. 4, With recent updates, when a change is made the app temporarily hangs. that being said, would like the ability to drag appointments to another day like in the iOS cal Thanks for considering ян.MyrandyapVersion: 6.25

✓ Used a alarm for several years but there are recurrent problemsI have used this app for several years and likely will continue until something better comes along. The nag feature is the primary reason. With that stated the same problem keeps coming up year after year. Duplicate events. You’ll snooze or cancel an alarm and another will pop up a few seconds later. It will get fixed and the an update comes out and the problem returns. It seems the app is maintained for OS compatibility bu it would also be nice to see some additional features added. For those of us that use our phones for work and personal time interfacing to different calendars would be highly useful. Outlook for work and Apple Calendar for personal use is an example. Then allow two different sounds so that you can distinguish between them..Gary N NashvilleVersion: 6.25

✓ This product does not work unfortunatelyA great product and great idea but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I have it both on my iPad and iPhone. It works fine on iPad but not on iPhone * the audible alarm is erratic. Sometimes you get the alarm but most times you don’t. * Banner does show up though but not the audible alarm * If there is a new event on you calendar, it takes for ever to show up on this app so you may not get the alarm (if it works) * If you want to refresh the app’s calendar, you are supposed to touch the navigation bar to refresh but when you press that bar, it opens a window asking you to choose a date not refresh. But this refresh option works on iPad but not on iPhone. * Also if you happened to silence the phone, this app does not vibrate the phone. So you will never get the notification. It does give a brief vibration on your iPhone, but not long enough to get your attention if you are preoccupied. Bottom line: This app does not work on iPhone. The audible alarm is erratic. You cannot refresh the calendar. When the event finally shows up on this app, you will never hear the audible alarm. So what is the point of buying it? I sincerely hope that this product works because the default calendar app from Apple is inadequate..SmarisettiVersion: 4.30

✓ Eid-al-AdhaIn case you haven’t noticed, there is a Muslim holiday shown under US Holidays, I wonder why that is. I sent the developers email asking that question. I’m sure that no Muslim country has any US holidays listed in their calendars. I really like this app but if they can’t fix the US calendar r to only reflect US holidays I will be deleting the app. The can have separate categories for holidays from other countries and religions so we can choose what we want to include on the calendars we use. I have the same issue with the iPhone calendar but I had to delete US holidays in order to remove Eid-al-Adha..Medwards44Version: 4.22

✓ Not worth itThis app is not worth the money. It barley does more then the built in calendar and alarms don’t sound on silent more or “do not disturb mode.” If I wanted a push notification I’d use Reminders or Calendar..JesseppowellVersion: 4.22

✓ Stay awayThis app crashes constantly on opening. If you have anything less than iOS 9 it will not work. The developer does not appear to support the app beyond one operating system change. The promised quickfix just does not happen. Save your money and keep looking for something better supported..Bf7041Version: 3.90

✓ Calarm 2Total rubbish not only does it still not turn off on the lock screen on 30 secs it now doesn't turn off on 10 secs either. It has also corrupted my original version. Well done CalAlarm. Try again. Or are you still blaming an unstable ios7?.IrritatedgrandadVersion: 1.00

✓ I love this app... when it works.It goes through times when it just crashes when I try to open it. Please fix this. It’s a crap shoot when it works. Please please fix this also please make a button not only to sleep but to "end" or it just comes back over and over for days!.Coloradochic76Version: 6.25

✓ Goes to sleep on the jobGot this app mainly for its persistent reminders. But I also use it to set up daily recurring events having no end date. These always work for several days, then suddenly... stop. I tend to forget for a couple days, then realize they stopped. I have to close the app and restart. After which the cycle starts over. So I don’t entirely trust it to do its job. Which is a shame. It’s a good app other than this one very important thing..Mm7ccVersion: 4.33

✓ Crashes daily nowCrashes daily now.JimmyjameshVersion: 4.32

✓ Doesn’t work properly after updateGreat App until update now it crashes every time I try to make a new event and I have updated to 13.3.2. Also would love the Nag function to be adjusted to 10 mins.MbkbboozeVersion: 5.04

✓ Cal Alarm reminder needs to be fixed!Cal Alarm is great, but it needs to be updated so that the auto-reminder nag does not come up every minute. Is it possible to please add option for nag every 5 minutes?? The situation is that you missed a meeting or appt and your in another meeting, do you need a reminder going off every minute or every hour? No, it just needs an option for Nag autoreminder in 5 min, so that you can leave for next appt. Otherwise great app!.Jimi456Version: 5.08

✓ Good app, but has much to be desiredMeets some of the basic needs that the iPhone calendar is missing. Particularly that an alarm must be acknowledged through the nag feature. However, this needs to have an adjustable nag time as opposed to the 1 minute setting. 1 minute is just annoying and every time it goes off I want to throw my phone at a wall. Make the simple change and add some other nag time options (1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes). Also, sometimes the same alarm goes off twice after I snooze it. So there is a bug in the app which again just makes it all the more annoying when an alarm goes off..BRSGOVersion: 4.32

✓ Sound issuesSo, I needed a calendar app that is like an alarm in a way with the function of a calendar. I just needed notifications with sound. Except that didn’t work at all. The calendar function is fine, but I tested it and there is no sound or notifications for that matter. Before you say anything, I was not in silent mode or do not disturb mode. My volume was all the way up. I did enable notifications and other features on my iPhone. And I did multiple tests with my phone off, whether on the app, off it with it in the background, or completely off. Nothing..SjanajfbeVersion: 6.01

✓ Isn’t an alarm at allWhat a waste of money and time. False advertising I’ll be requesting a refund. This is like any other calendar app, definitely doesn’t act like an alarm.Whanga123Version: 4.22

✓ Unstable AppConstantly hangs up! DevArt not helping!.CrapappnotworkingVersion: 2.00

✓ Has potential, but ..Only need this for my work calendar - maybe I missed it, but would be good to choose which calendars - and events - to alert on..ATDT +++Version: 6.25

✓ Disappointing UpradeThe latest version has plenty of added features, but the addition of a today button makes some tasks more irksome, and the larger size of main input page means it does not fit on the screen of a SE, so altering set reminder times is virtually impossible. Very disappointed as I have use CalAlarm for several years when I then had an iPhone 4.Chipsy57Version: 5.00

✓ CalAlarmThis does everything you expect a good calendar alarm to do except turn off. When an alarm goes, I cancel the alert in the settings but a few mins later off it goes again despite having 'no alert' selected. Really annoying but it means it's too good at reminding you not to miss something.Jerry on the DocksVersion: 3.70
