Ratings and reviews

I was a huge fan of this app and use it to share events with my friends as well as my own calendar. I was super disappointed when they took away the custom colors on the free tier, though. I love to color coordinate everything and now there are not enough colors of categories available to me. It honestly makes me really sad and I don't like the way my calendar looks anymore.

I really really loved this app, but now so many of the features are being locked behind a pay wall! Its absolutely ridiculous that I need to pay to color code my events the way I want to. I like to have all my classes individually colored, not lumped all together under the general umbrella of school! I just want to be able to freely color code the way I want to.

They're only focused on how much money they can get out of users now. This was my go-to calendar app for the shareability and color organization, I even used it to keep track of my period for gods sake. The free tier had like 12 different colors you could mark events with, but after the most recent update for can only use 5 of 8 'free' colors at a time. And I now have to go in and manually reassign colors to all my events. Safe to say I'm finding a new calendar app. 👎
