   Good but…. I like this calendar and I have been using it for little over a week. I like that you can write on the templates that you choose however some days when I am choosing a template it says only “default” or “Christmas 2025” instead of all the other nicer templates I usually use. I pay for the premium version and I would like for it to work consistently especially if I’m paying $8 a month for it. Please fix. Edit: worked for a while but still running into the same issues again with the templates. Very disappointing. There are no updates on the app and there was no response to my original review explaining how to fix it. Still paying $8 for a calendar that doesn’t work the way it is supposed to. I love the concept but I’m moving on. Just wasting money at this point.

   It’s hard to use. You can’t write your schedules down for the next week without pay. I don’t want to pay for something that shouldn’t need to be paid for,

   Seems cute but keeps glitching. I got this app with high hopes, but it very quickly proved me wrong. The app is very cute and I love the stickers you can add to the planner and the different templates but I kept having the issue of templates not loading and when I wrote on the templates it kept moving the writing all around the screen. I also had the issue of it freezing randomly when I tried to switch between stickers and writing. I don’t know if this was caused because I was using the free versions but I feel disheartened to leave this reply.

   You’ve got to be kidding me. Whenever you don’t want to pay the subscription, it’s like in Saint letters under the do it now or whatever button and like you can’t press it like I want to use the app. It looked like it had good ratings, but then whenever I actually want to use it, I can’t even get into the calendar part like either fix it or like I’m done

   Premium not transferring across devices.. I purchased the yearly premium subscription on my iPhone bc I thought it would be useful at work. Then I discovered you guys have a desktop version as well. I downloaded it, but now it’s trying to make me purchase a new subscription in addition to the one I already have (and it’s more expensive). I tried to contact someone, but the developer website simpledio.com doesn’t work, and when I click on contact developer it says there is “No Email Attached”. Can someone assist me please and thank you.

   A good app. Y’all are my favorite app because you could put chores on here your birthday if you’re doing something and you could put pictures and then what to do and then Saturday and then the months are going but clock it y’all

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

   Need Help!. I love(d) this app, bought the pro version, until 4-8-2026 when I opened it and ALL of my entries are gone. I found the backup on my iCloud so I tried reinstalling the app but no success. I’ve emailed support several times and as of this review have not received a response. I started using this app in Nov. 2025, and it’s been great so far, but it sickens me that everything is all gone! It’s my hope it can somehow be restored, but lack of response from support is not looking good. Please Help!!

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

   Where’s my calendar?. Just poof! All my entries are gone!

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

   Why. Why can’t I draw on the stickers that’s a ripoff

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

    False advertising. I got it thinking this app will be okay but no this app sucks. I got it went onto it and it wasn’t what it looked like on the advertising on the slides where it shows how it works kind of. Definitely not recommended.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Clearing my thing and glitch. When I go on the app it clears everything it did, plus pay subscription every time and I hated plus it kept on glitch every time I go on so that was no so amazing time on the app.

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

    Undependable. I have had whole Pages disappear . Other times half of the pages shifts. So where I checked off no longer lines up. I’ve sent emails for help but nothing changes.

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

    Needs improvement. Has a lot of problems, everything works fine until I save my work and then I go to look at it and words are twisted or missing things that I put there are not even there in the first place I can’t rotate any of the words after typing them, and sometimes they rotate by themselves

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Trash!!. This app doesn't work. Don't waste your time and definitely do not get a subscription and waste your money on this trash. It will let you open the app but once you get onto it, it freezes over and over and over and you will literally spend an hour trying to get one page done for one day.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Ugh. This app can’t do anything right and u can only get like 2 things withought paying the 20 dollar membership ugh

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

    Bad. Not easy to use.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No landscape option?!. Unless I am very mistaken, this calendar cannot be used in landscape mode. I have never seen a planner app with no landscape mode, and I paid for it thinking I was getting a trial first. I cannot function in portrait mode for a calendar….please tell me that this works in landscape mode and I am just missing how to do it!

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

    Unimpressive. I’m done with all these ongoing charges. I have more important things to spend my money on.

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

    App Does Not Sync. App did not sync my devices. I emailed twice for support and did not receive a response.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not fair. Its not fair that only the people that have the premium membership can do the things like plan ahead that literally what a calendar does! If you want people to get this game make it fair or cheap

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

    Doesn't Work, Freezes. Keeps freezing , can't view templates,

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

    Templates won’t load. I was really excited to use this app but the templates will not load. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling and it’s not my internet so idk what’s going on. It just shows a blank screen.

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not Reliable. I bought this, but really disappointed. The calendar integration works but the events do not work properly. After I create an event it will say no event created but when I restart the app it will show the ones I created. I thought maybe it’s new so I created another one but the same thing happened. Over and over again. Sometimes it pops up the notification sometimes it doesn't. Creators please if you put a trial make the trial work first. I was forced to buy because your trials are limited, weird. I don't know why people say its good maybe it works for them but definitely not for me, can I still get a refund? If not, maybe fix all the bugs. Reliability is very important.

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

    Difficult app. Technical difficulties with app. I’ll be mid typing and it’ll take me out of what I’m doing and put me back to calendar. SMH

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

    Awful app. I wouldn’t recommend it. Not user friendly

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

    I don’t know how to use it. Sorry for one star but I don’t know how to use this app it’s confusing pls help meee

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Freezes and slow. No trial so I paid just to not be able to use it. It takes too long to do anything and times out on me.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not user friendly-nothing like the examples. Hardest app I’ve ever used. There aren’t any directions. You just have to start clicking and hope it works the way you want. It won’t allow me to export anything. Calendars are annoying. I can’t save any templates. Now, after paying for the premium for a year, I’m trying to get my money back and subscription cancelled. I was so excited about using this too! What a disappointment. No one will answer my emails! I do not want charged for this horrible app. The example pictures look great, too bad they won’t save my templates I’ve worked on.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. Took my money didn’t give me my year subscription. Tried to make me repay to activate it

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not good.. Way too many bugs for to even charge people to use this app. There are so many better options out there, don’t waste your money.
