Calendars 5 by Readdle App Reviews

(Old)This is a very good program that is much easier to look at and use than the Apple default calendar in almost every way. It is upgraded often and seems very stable. I wish I could paste pictures into notes. Sometimes it is easiest to take a picture of a flyer or an invitation for example. (Update) Now I have used for years and love this program. I still wish I could paste pictures into the notes section of events.

It is a good app; would like to not have multiple holidays take up the activities showing on the day.

Works great with google events. Readable more than any other calendar. Nice interface. I love it. Synchs between all devices . Easy to turn on and turn off multiple calendars

I do not like that past events erase automatically. I would like to keep events or notes that have happened , stored so I remember when things occurred.

I've been using this app for YEARS and it's still the best and still gets continual support. My favorite is the weekly view which no other app has. It makes browsing calendars so much easier. Along with the very many customization options, this app has no equal. Thank you for the best calendar app ever!

I think this is a great calendar app much better than the built in iOS calendar and less clunky that google calendar. But the one annoying thing is that in landscape mode, if you add new event, it shifts back to portrait mode. Wish they would update this

As a time blind person I lived and died by the time until appointment widget please bring it back

Still on learning curve, but so far very good. Finally have given up my paper calendar. Easy to use. Happy it shows up on my iPhone. Sometimes hard to get its attention when I tap on a date. Updated.. Love it... Making my life easier... 2nd Update... Still love it.. 3rd update... wish they didn't delete past months so soon... I sometimes like to check back 3 or 4 months...

Easy event add (associated URL as “note”). Nice date icon badge (thank you!) Good override default theme (I prefer Dark; Calendar is White. Generous support in spite of challenges. Need efficient display: event list on one side, on other. Also needed: “infinite” scrolling between months! (Time is continuous!) 💙💛

Just need to tap date to list any appointment & time. Also, can make a more lengthy statement for other activities besides posting official appointments. Haven’t tried adding pictures yet, but may try. 🌿

It is so easy to keep things organized. I really like the calendar display and all the options that it gives you.

Don’t like having holidays automatically listed, wherein I cannot delete them.

Calendar is great! But I would like the colors to be brighter.

Any major update on the horizon?

Have been using this app for years. As they make improvements it becomes less desirable. and MORE complicated. When an schedule is added by email it is impossible to change, e.g., when your flight times change. Since this is on my phone, iPad and MAC, I would think that one could make changes from any of them. Cannot. It never use to be that way. Very clumsy with the ability to change schedule. Otherwise, it works well.

Keeps our whole family on schedule.

I have used this calendar for over 5 years. It is the best! It is easy and thorough and safe. This system convinced me to give up a paper calendar. I trust it and since I can back it up my history is safe too. Great resources I love it. Could not live with out it. I pray you guys are doing ok and staying safe and healthy. May God bring you some joy this Christmas!!

I love this app. I didn’t like the generic monthly view in the iOS calendar. This allows me to actually see each scheduled event on the monthly calendar. Allows you to import other calendars and print too. The developers are responsive to suggestions. Only calendar I use on my phone. Love it and worth the $

I’ve tried just about every calendar system on the market - and each of them didn’t quite work for me. But Calendar5 is EXACTLY the perfect fit. It works like I work. It thinks like I think. And they are constantly improving it! You actually get a PERSONAL response from support when you ask a question or submit a suggestion. LOVE THIS APP!

It would be fantastic if my contacts would integrate with iCal after being on a phone call. Example you’re on a call, set an appt, and have icon in the contact to link to calendar to create a calendar event (sort of how you can text, send money, or FaceTime someone from Contact). I’ve requested this several times before. Would be so nice. Thank you

So I have ADHD, and my brain is all over the place and keeping a calendar is hard for me, but with this app for whatever reason with the colors, it just works for me and I have been really on top of everything even birthdays which blows my mind! Every color is a subject like work, appointments, birthdays, prescriptions… Whatever I just wish there were more colors! Other than that it’s perfect for me! highly recommend!

I would give it 5 stars except for the extremely small font size. In comparison, the Samsung built-in calendar displays event descriptions but at a slightly larger size so they are more readable. I would prefer to have less text displayed but at a more readable size.

I would love to be able to upload a picture to descriptions on my appointments etc

This is one super app.

In the past 4 months or so this app is constantly freezing. I have to close it and open it back up again every time I want to use it. Updates are automatic, so I know that is not the issue.

Honesty I’d say this os the best app in iOS for keeping your agenda up to date. The only suggestion I have is to add a widget that allows you to see the Monthly Calendar AND the upcoming monthly calendar side to side. As well as have the monthly calendar widget highlight the days that you have events in! I don’t know if the developers are able to see this but please please pleaaaase update the monthly widget and add a widget like that! :D

I just want to say that I’ve been using this app as my primary calendar app for a few years now, and I’ve notice that the development team puts out consistent bug fixes and they listen to feedback I’ve sent in the past. And they also have always been the first of my third party apps to take advantage of new Apple features in iOS (like widgets, and now lock screen widgets). So I want to thank you and your team for being so involved, it really makes me feel good about using the app. :)

I love the app and the way that it views the month. However this app should allow to be my default and be available among more apple options. Replacing the calendar in the widgets and also on the Apple Watch is needed. I also I really hope in the next update that they allow for users to creat custom colors.

I book client appointments and group classes. This works across all my devices and easily customizes for repeating events.

Excellent calendar! BUT one issue is that when changes are made to a calendar entry it fails to update to the cloud at times. This causes issues for shared calendars. This also occurs at times on new calendar entries. Google Calendar updates almost immediately but Calendar 5 lacks that level of service.

Great app, using for years

This calendar really helps me keep all my work appointments, doctor and vet appointments, and meetings with my friends in order and up-to-date!! I absolutely LOVE being able to color code things - green for work, purple for fun, etc. Great way to keep track of EVERYTHING!

Great calendar!!! Mixes my Mac & Gmail calendar!! Keep the good work..,

Mostly Easy to add a new event, set time, custom repeat, desired calender; no associated URL. Nice date icon badge (thank you!) Good that it lets me override system default display (I prefer Dark mode but Calendar in White). So-so widget. What I *miss* is an efficient display mode like I can get on Google Calendar: upcoming events list large on right, small monthly list with dates dotted at left: handy. [NOTE: if your calendar is Gmail, setup hint: allow this app to access Gmail but NOT local “y

This app is great. Easier than the native calendar app to read appointments at a glance in month view. 👍🏼

Use this calendar on an iPhone for years works great for a multiple calendars

A good productivity tool for managers
