   Incredibly disappointing. There's no way to integrate just your google calendar you have to sync them with your iCal, which then makes that super messy. The whole point for me was to be able to have an app that can create a calendar widget where I can display a specific Google Calendar. In needing to sync with iCal it combines calendars I want to keep separate.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   BS. Planner is blocked so I can’t add any events!

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Nope still freezes. App froze within a minute of opening. I couldn’t even get through the first screen before it locked up. Tried closing and reopening it and it did the exact same thing again. I now remember why I uninstalled this before. Still doesn’t work. Rejected and uninstalled.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not age appropriate. I thought this was just a calendar app. This app is for 4+ years and I just got a very explicit and 18+ ad. Imagine opening this at school work or in front of your grandma to save a date and you get whatever that was!

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not easy to use. I’m looking for a simple, basic easy to use calendar with holidays included. I can’t seem to find it.

6. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Bought the pro version and now bugs make it unusable. All of a sudden I am unable to even scroll in most menus. The add new calendar button is also non functional. I have restarted my phone and uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still is broken. Waste of $11 bucks.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t have sync with reminders IOS. Everything is fine, the application is good, it looks like I like it without any tinsher everything is clear, BUT why is there no synchronization with "reminders"???

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Widget missing. Widget missing after update

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   No preview. There is not an option to see a preview of what event there is on a day, just a small little underline that is hard to see. Disappointed since that’s the whole idea of the widget. Paid $11 for nothing more than to change the colors and have “no adds” Yeah. It’s a no.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    so close, yet so far. loved the look of the app, downloaded the app, set it up, saw subscription fee that included features like custom icons, custom colors (very very basic stuff), immediately deleted app. do better and either cut the subscription fee or keep it but offer better features other than the ones you are currently offering. so many calendar apps offer your paid features for free. being a money hungry capitalistic business isn’t a good look but that’s what you are currently

11. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Loved it until everything disappeared. I’ve used Minical for 3+ years and trusted it to store all my important info — including trips, personal information, life events. I never used Gmail or iCloud calendars with it; I just used the app itself. But recently I tried syncing my Gmail to use Minical across devices (like my iPad), and after removing and re-adding the Gmail account, everything disappeared. None of my data was saved to Gmail or iCloud, so there’s nowhere for it to pull from. I never deleted the app, and it still shows 155MB of documents/data in my iPhone storage, so I know the data must still be on my phone somewhere. Please help me recover it — this app meant a lot to me, and this has been really distressing. I can’t find a direct support email anywhere. I’m begging someone from the team to respond. I need to recover this data. Please contact me or tell me how I can reach you.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Amazing BUT….. The app is great, the UI is great but it’s missing one feature, the ability to add attendees when scheduling a meeting!

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Deleted all my events out of the blue!. I absolutely loved this app!! But today I went to check my schedule and everything is deleted. I’m absolutely freaking out and I have no idea how to fix it. Please help me!!!

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t use without calendar access.. If I wanted to use the calendars already in my device, then I would use those. The point of downloading a separate app is to have a separate calendar.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Would like a refund please. I was misled by the description where “etc” is included. It doesn’t appear possible to link any calendar aside from what is listed by name (google, icloud, outlook - ONLY). I have a few Yahoo/Ymail calendars I hoped to link. Even paid for the premium version in hopes that would remedy the issue. The app is useless to me.

16. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

    Awful and Sketchy. Won’t let you use the app unless you give it permission to give you TARGETED ads by tracking you. Apple has the option to deny app tracking for a reason. You shouldn’t be able to force people into giving permissions. There’s no legitimate reason why you can’t just give generic ads. Another thing, it won’t let you use the app unless you give it permission to access your native Apple Calendar. I don’t want to import my events. I got another app for a reason. Just seems like they want to farm your data. Do not recommend.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesnt work with Mac. The iphone version is great but the Mac version wont cross over. None of my events are displayed, they dont merge. I tried problem solving and theres a vague "Help" website that stated to just restart my devices. Not helpful at all and no customer support access.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Would have given it 5 stars but... I would have loved to give it 5 stars cause I do love this calendar but even after I paid to upgrade to pro I’m still unable to use some of the features that it says I would be able to use after upgrading such as change font, change text size, change event color, etc. so I’m quite upset I paid quite an expensive prices just to not even get what I paid for. Very disappointed and will be contacting them directly if I have the option. Would not recommend going pro with it cause you may run into this exact same problem and then you just wasted that money for nothing..

19. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Great until the constant ads. You can’t add anything to the calendar without a long ad popping up.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes. The app was great until it crashed. Now I can’t access any of my information

21. ★★★★★search fails to find what is needed

    A lot to learn. So far I like it very much. I’ll update after using it a while. It’s very complex but the explanations seem clear. Ok here’s a problem: to write a review you’re supposed to tap a start to give an idea how much you like the app - IT DOES NOT WORK. Said I would update. Still no stars to rate, I’d go down to 2 now. The description of how to do things makes sense but when you go to do it - it is a mess. It took me an half hour to put in an appointment. And it now shows 3 times. Put things in simple language. I was hoping for better I can’t make anything work like the instructions describe. You make a mistake and don’t we all, I cannot find any way to delete it. The part on editing does not include deleting a mistake and I’m about to just give up

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Deleted. I spent an hour writing everything into my calendar and the next day it all deleted it only let the first 3 things i put.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Forced to sync. I use my apple calendar for my personal life, my google calendar for work, so I wanted something to use strictly for my AMAP nursing responsibilities. Forcing me to sync with my apple calendar is absurd. If I wanted to sync them I would just use one calendar. Immediately deleted!

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Horrible!!!!. Why did it charge me to install? Cannot contact anyone for a refund. Help!!

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Adds. The adds are pissing me off

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    ---. Doesn't work at all. Just choose another app!

27. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    impossible to use. i loved this calendar app until i went to start adding events and seen after every tap, you have to watch a ad. absolutely ridiculous

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Loud pop up ads. I like the way this functions, but pop up ads that are extremely loud jump out when least expected. Don’t even consider opening this app when anyone in the house is asleep or in a public place, like to set your next appointment while at a doctor’s office. I had to delete this app because it is so loud.

29. ★★★★★unreliable reminder delivery zeroes out all the planner's other value

    Great calendar app, terrible ads. This app would be absolutely incredible for what it is considering the features, the design everything that it provides. The banner ads I can live with, however, the full screen un-skippable ads drive me absolutely insane. That completely dissuades any notion that I will ever have to even remotely think about purchasing this app. I understand in games where fullscreen ads provide some sort of reward for playing the game. What kind of backwards thought process involves PLACING UNSKIPPABLE ADS IN A CALENDAR APP. WHERE YOU NEED TO SEE THE CALENDAR AND NOT A 30 SECOND AD? Reconsider your ads. I will never support this business practice.

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    add an event? AD!. nearly unusable. i genuinely get an ad after every event i add to my calendar. i can’t fathom paying $13 for what my phone can already do, just arranged slightly nicer to the eye.
