Calendar by 44

Lovely to look at. Smart short cuts. Super easy to use, really enjoy it I’d love to see a Home Screen / Lock Screen widget.

Seems ok, but fails to load reminders etc without restarting the phone. In a group the day date is added to any reminders for the day, and when opened first thing in the morning, the date badge still shows the day before. It's not very good.

I’m still getting used to this calendar and at the moment I’m running it alongside my usual calendar to compare. So far I’ve found this new one much better. It’s easy to get a good overview and a detailed view. I really like that I can block spam and the assistant feature is very handy too. Give it a go. It won’t suit everyone but is well worth a try

I’ve tried pretty much every calendar app and Calendar 44 is by far my favourite. It’s a very intuitively-designed, stylish and effective app for allowing me to easily keep track of my and my colleagues’ diaries. It’s extremely fast on my iPhone 11, both in terms of software performance and in entering new appointments and viewing my existing ones. I really like the clean, utilitarian design too, and the widget works well. It’s missing a few little features (the main one I want is to be able to set it so all events give an alert beforehand instead of doing that manually) but works very well as my daily driver already.

I posted a review in February when the app first came out, describing many aspects of the apps design I found confusing or irritating: all of which have since been resolved via frequent updates. Because of these improvements I’m much more compelled to buy and/or recommend the app. The only thing that makes me want to keep using Timepage (my current calendar), is that the app is not quite as polished as Timepage and is a bit laggy on my iPhone 6S. Yes the phone is a tad old but it runs Timepage perfectly smoothly. I don’t know how well the calendar runs on other phones but either way I’m sure it could a little improvement in this department. Considering though that Timepage is a subscription service, this app is a deal! It doesn’t have quite the same polish as Timepage (such as having clicky sound and haptic feedback as you work your way through the calendar) but it does the job very well and has reminders built in to the same app which is something people have wanted from Timepage for years. I would definitely recommend this calendar. Also, if your unsure as to whether you should buy it, just download the app and try it out for free first.

Some good ideas but a bit clunky. Reminders not coming across correctly. Slow to start up.

It has become so tedious inputting an appointment (start and finish times won’t always stay as I type them,for one fault). So involved has it become that I use the iOS calendar to input appointments. This shouldn’t be when I have paid for the app. It used to be simpler. UPDATE I’ve had a speedy response from developers, an update and all works superbly. Thank you for excellent customer service.

Purchased this on 16/02/20. Since then it has not worked correctly and I have sent screenshots to the developer. Now 28/02/20, not heard anything and app still not working. Now deleting app as no confirm it or the developer. Apple. Get a grip. Your support for app purchases is dismal. -5 stars!!!!!!!!!

This isn’t a bad start but right now this is a premium calendar by any means. - It can’t look up contacts addresses. - language parsing is way behind the competition. - too many taps to edit time for event duration longer than one hour. - more ways to view your schedule needed like a week view. But that said, it is smooth in it’s animation and the agenda view you get when you tap a day in the month is nice. It’s very much like the new agenda style of fantastical v3. That’s a nice clear way to show all day events. So the addition of a graphical week view and more efficient event creation process would be a great first step to improve it. Next the language parsing needs some serious work to compete with the likes of fantastical. In this calendars current state I wouldn’t be happy to pay more than 79p for it. Sorry but it’s not worth the £9.99 price tag without the work to compete with the big players in that price range.

A number for the day of the month on th app icon would be better.
