Calalarm - Calendar V3 App Reviews

This wonderful calendar app is what I'm using now. I've switched around between many calendar apps, including those with more features such as BusyCal & Informant, but this app is much easier to use with a cleaner user interface, and of course has an excellent multi-alarm feature. And there is only one fee to get Premium features ... Calalarm has NO SUBSCRIPTION (unlike Fantastical, for example)!

This app is amazing. I always ignore calendar events, but this app makes it impossible. Thank you totally worth it!

Thank you for adding the Time Zone override switch! I have been (impatiently) waiting and hoping it would come back in this iteration of my long-time favorite and most-used app, and it finally did!! Back to 5 stars baby!!

I’ve been using this app for years and couldn’t be happier — I have no interest in switching to any other calendar. With a busy schedule and a tendency to forget things, I needed a calendar that would keep reminding me until I either stopped the alarm or snoozed it for later. Thanks to this app, I never miss an appointment! It’s an absolute must-have for me. I highly recommend CalAlarm!

This is the best calendar app there is. I have had it for many many years. The snooze function/nag function make this a must have app. I also love the different alarm sounds and the different calendar display style options. However with the latest iOS update, it now won’t let me update repeating events to a different day or time, not for a single event or future events. PLEASE fix this!!! Thank you!

This app is ideal for what I need, and I like it so far! But, I’m an educator and I don’t always hear or feel (vibration) the notifications even when I have them set a minute apart. Can you provide the option for a truly continuous nagging alarm? I need my phone and watch to continuously ring and vibrate UNTIL I acknowledge the alarm much like a wake-up alarm.

CalAlarm is still the BEST, provides a diversity of alerts, customizable alerts, and you can SEE the appointments—even better with a update. Make sure your iPhone is updated to prevent possible alert problems. If there’s a problem and you contact support, they will provide the solution. Thank you, Devart ❣️

Far better calendar app than the native calendar. Allows so many custom options for snoozing, resetting reminder for minutes hours or days later, so you don’t forget the task you need to get done

Note editing is difficult. Slide to the left no longer stops nagging.

I updated to V3 and noticed I can not longer select the option to alert at the time of event, 1 hour before and one day before the event all for the same event. I’m not sure if this was a change or a setting adjustment but honestly that was the main reason I used the app because no others allowed you to do that.

For those who's iPhone's are no longer sending an alert - this can a problem with the Apple watch OS 10 update. It changed alot of things about how alerts work on your iPhone ... IF you are also wearing a Apple watch. IMHO - all these changes were implemented in poor judgment. I've just sent 3 hours researching how to make my iPhone also sound an Alert simultaneously with the Apple watch, even when the LOCK screen is one! It was a bear to figure out but it can be done!

I hated this app before the new version came out. Erratic alarm, no end-of-the-event alarm feature and many more issues. Now it works like a charm. Most importantly it streamlined my day not just work. I get an alarm for new events and when I can’t do it able to move it to another time. I get an alarm when the event is ending so I don’t miss my next meeting or event.

I’ve always been schedule challenged. My Apple calendar isn’t sufficient because if I’m on the phone when the notification goes off, it’s gone and I miss it. I was delighted to find a calendar app that nags me to death until I see my event!! 😅

Now there are more steps… I guess because it was so easy it had to be made more complicated… I would’ve paid for the app to just keep it the way it was… It worked fine for years!

Really nice calendar. Fairly easy too figure out. Lots of add on’s. 100 x better than Apple calendar.

First off, the nag alarm means it will keep nagging you to address the reminder you set, even if your chainsaw is making detection impossible, eventually it’ll get through and you don’t miss the alert. Priceless. Makes a calendar reminder functional. Next, everything works great: remind you every day or every 2nd Tuesday or first Monday of each month or whatever you need. I could go on. Highly recommended.

My memory isn’t the greatest, this app really helps me.

I have been using this app for several years. I keep birthdays, meditation times, Dr appointments, whatever in it.

As many have stated, V2 was rock solid. But ever since the move to V3 this app has been a buggy mess. Events don’t stay snoozed or they don’t get dismissed sometimes. It’s happening almost daily now and I would have definitely moved on already if there was another app like this but from what I can tell it’s the only one.

I have used the app for approximately 7 yrs now. It has kept me on task and kept down the stress level with the reminders. Especially useful in keeping track of expiration dates for zero interest offers and other financial deadlines.

The new version is much better than the previous version. Looks better and actually works. I had issues with the previous version where the alarms are erratic. Not anymore. One feature that would be useful to have. Just a like there is an alarm at the start of the meeting. An alarm at end of the meeting would be super useful.

As a long time user, I was reluctant to upgrade to v3 for fear there would be conflicts with iOS 17 and my SE2020. For the most part I’m pleased, but there are some minor changes and issues that I’m dealing with, though certainly not significant enough to abandon this app. Especially as an octogenarian, I’ve been very pleased with the developer’s timely, courteous, and helpful responses to my inquiries, as we try to clarify my concerns.

V-3 was a wonderful replacement for V-2. As an older, sometimes confused, computer user, V-3 is a continuing improvement in organization and use to V-2. I give a 5+++ to the support staff. They are accurate with their advice and patient for those who go through computer appts in a fog. nnn

I’ve been using for years and love this app. Better watch integration has made me even happier. The Nag feature makes it so your appt can’t be missed. You can one-button snooze a reminder until you’re ready, again and again !! I set to one minute.

I typically miss the Apple Calendar alerts which is why I love CalAlarm for the Nag feature. I’m happy to say that with v3 it now works on the Apple Watch too. Worth the purchase price.

One little vibration is just not enough to get my attention, especially while walking etc. the nag function is essential for my lifestyle. I also appreciate the ability to have Google Maps as the default nav. One thing that would make it more awesome: please add the option for the alert to vibrate like a timer or a phone call. You know, buzz buzz buzz buzz etc. That would really get my attention. I get so many chat messages etc it’s too easy to miss even the nag alert. And no, I don’t pick up

When snoozing within the app. It does not update or move on the notification screen.

I absolutely love this calendar. The standard calendar and many other calendars only offer small alerts to events or appointments that you have logged in your calendar. This app greatly improved the probability that you will remember those appointments. The new update has a couple of features that need to be tweaked to meet with. The expectation was in the previous addition. But I trust that the developers will address it.

I just paid for this and it’s missing many options that CalAlarm 2 had like date on badge, time zone support. What gives?
