Ratings and reviews

I love this app! It's been great to use with my partner since we're in a long-distance relationship, and it's super fun to add personal photos and messages. Recently, there's been some glitches I've noticed. I try to change the time on events I make, and for some reason it jumps the time back by a couple of hours (I'll put "3pm-4pm," but it saves as "12-1pm"??) Also, I created a new event with a chosen photo, but when I click create, it'll put a gif on it instead?? Really hope this gets fixed!

This app is AMAZING for creating events and sharing them with your spouse, friends, family etc. Very easy to use and understand. No annoying ads. It hasn't asked me to pay for anything either which is great but I think I would if I needed a monthly subscription. Definitely download this app if you're looking for an effective, clean and easy to use shared calendar!

One if the new favorite apps for my friends on I. it has made it way easier to compare all of our schedules side by side, and let us plan our get togethers. It has also exposed how much of a busy body I am 😆 The only negatives at this time are that it won't always let you select an option other than daily for repeating events, and for some reason it won't let me select different days of the week if it does let me select weekly.

What's new

We’ve now added time zones to your plans, so no more messed up timings when you thought you were meeting at the Louvre at 10:30 but it turns out your friends had already been and gone by 9:37.
