Ratings and reviews

this is honestly a great app. My friend group uses it to invite each other to various things and keep tabs on exactly when everyone is busy, especially helpful for us since we like to go camping altogether in the summer. it lets you do all kinds of things, even choose color palettes for your calendar but also for your friends and their events, and adding gifs to the thumbnail. Each event even has its own chat, so you can talk to each other without cluttering your other group chats. I love it

It's really easy to invite friends and set up events. So far there aren't any annoying ads. You can have any limit of things in one day. There are options of who can see it and what they can see it as. Everyone can create events that can happen at any time or any day. Honestly my new favorite calendar app! I highly recommend it for families, friends, besties, siblings, etc.

Definitely not the best calendar app available due to limited functionality Still no widget despite that being the reason for today's update. There's no option to customize reminders. Past events can't be cleared or hidden from the "feed" and the user should be able to choose what screen opens when they open the app. If I choose to make my entire work schedule yellow to separate it from personal plans, it should be able to show up in yellow on the "at-a-glance" calendar.

What’s new

Recurring events just got an upgrade! it’s now quicker and easier to add or edit repeating events 🏎️
