Calendar
gamed ratingThe built-in Apple Calendar works as an event address book until it breaks. Users regularly have all their data vanish. This is not an isolated case: several reviews describe the complete destruction of years of history. Reminders do not fire without the app open. Sync loses history. Search works inconsistently. Given its built-in status, the product remains technically unreliable.
90% five-star with a text average of 2.08, the sharpest gap in the set. Numerous reviews describe complete data deletion and silent notifications, while stars remain in place. A pattern typical of the Apple forced-rating system: the app is built in, so new users rate it highly before encountering reality.
What users love
- Clean integration with the Apple ecosystem: Siri
- Watch
- Reminders. Color coding for multiple calendars. Home-screen widgets visible without opening the app. A Reminders layer for tasks works alongside events.
What users hate
- Data disappears without a trace. Several users lost years of entries without warning. Reminders do not fire as push notifications: the app must be open. Recurring events break when one instance is edited. Sync between iPad and Mac breaks systematically.
Who it is for
Users who have 2 to 3 meetings a week and are not at risk of losing critical data. For a business schedule the risk is too high.
