Ratings and reviews

Update: Thank you! Incredible support and a quick fix! I’ve used this Ethiopian Calendar for years; it’s truly the best one available. Since the latest update, the app crashes whenever I try to access specific days or holidays. My system shows a "Device care" bug notice. I’m only sharing this because I love the app and want to keep using it! Hope a fix is coming soon. Great work as always, Elias!

your apps even became more interesting than before by adding important features. I was highly astonished by absolute accuracy in it's calendar specially of Muslims holidays. but It would be even the best important tools than other if you add times both for local and midnight starting time in the widget section. inmost cases counting time begins at midnight in case of Ethiopia it begins at down with sun rises. eg. 7:00/1:00 or 9:00/3:00.

My number 1 calendar application ever developed. it's error free on national and spiritual days. I used it for more than 4 years and still no other app found to substitute it. Always number 1 choice. It correctly calculates both Christian and Muslim holidays!!! I could have given more than 5 stars. This update also added extra features and it's awesome! Keep up the good work. እግዚአብሔር ጸጋውን ደግሞ ደጋግሞ ይጨምርላችሁ። ኮርተንባችኋል።
