Calalarm Calendar

I have used the app for approximately 7 yrs now. It has kept me on task and kept down the stress level with the reminders. Especially useful in keeping track of expiration dates for zero interest offers and other financial deadlines.

Whenever Apple has an iOS update, they mess up app notifications. That’s when I realize that I depend on CalAlarm, its snoozes, alerts, and “move” function. (I’ve used this app since I switched to an iPhone and found that its calendar stunk.) Recently, I tried other calendar apps, to see if they improved—other calendar apps were interesting, prettier, or more popular. CalAlarm is still reliable, provides a diversity of alerts, provides customizable alerts, and you can see the appointments. Druthers: 1) Would like to see integration of tasks into CalAlarm; 2) better visibility of the “today“ date on the monthly display; and 3) new alerts; 4) the ability to make an appointment by touching a future date (currently, it defaults to the current date when making a new appointment). Make sure your iPhone is updated to prevent possible alert problems. If there’s a problem and you contact support, they will provide the solution. Thank you, Devart

As many have stated, V2 was rock solid. But ever since the move to V3 this app has been a buggy mess. Events don’t stay snoozed or they don’t get dismissed sometimes. It’s happening almost daily now and I would have definitely moved on already if there was another app like this but from what I can tell it’s the only one.

I have been using this app for several years. I keep birthdays, meditation times, Dr appointments, whatever in it.

My memory isn’t the greatest, this app really helps me.

First off, the nag alarm means it will keep nagging you to address the reminder you set, even if your chainsaw is making detection impossible, eventually it’ll get through and you don’t miss the alert. Priceless. Makes a calendar reminder functional. Next, everything works great: remind you every day or every 2nd Tuesday or first Monday of each month or whatever you need. I could go on. Highly recommended.

Really nice calendar. Fairly easy too figure out. Lots of add on’s. 100 x better than Apple calendar.

Now there are more steps… I guess because it was so easy it had to be made more complicated… I would’ve paid for the app to just keep it the way it was… It worked fine for years!

I have ADHD. I can snooze a reminder, and completely forget about it within 30 seconds. So this app is a lifesaver for me as it keeps nagging me. The only thing I don’t like about the app, is that it seems to duplicate the reminders: it seems to keep the 15 or minute reminder that I set when I created the appointment but then also seems to create a duplicate 15 minute reminder on top of it, so I have to stop the nag twice every time it goes off. I’m sure that that is user error, but it’s not intuitive – at least not to me – how to stop it doing that. But the reason I’m only giving it four stars, is that every time they release a new version, I have to pay for it again. I really wish they would allow me to pay just once, and carry it to the new version. It kind of feels like I’m being nickeled and dimed. That said, if you have ADHD like me, I don’t know of a better app.

I’ve always been schedule challenged. My Apple calendar isn’t sufficient because if I’m on the phone when the notification goes off, it’s gone and I miss it. I was delighted to find a calendar app that nags me to death until I see my event!! 😅
