Calendar 366 · Events & Tasks

I finally purchased this app and it’s a definite upgrade. Calendar 366 ll was really nice, but this one has more features. I do kind of miss the dark color theme of that one though. This app is extremely useful but it should have had an upgrade path for old users. Like I haven’t bought the Mac app yet bc I already bought it for the previous version of the app, and I don’t want to pay $30 extra for that. That’s kind of a bit extreme. I do like the new widgets and features enough to get my value out of this, but I don’t necessarily think you should go all out on supporting this app with your wallet on all platforms anymore just bc you don’t know when a new release might come out. The lifetime purchase on iPhone watch and iPad though I think is worth it. Just not on Mac. If I didn’t come from the previous version this would be a 5/5 easy. But I’ve been using this calendar 366 app platform since like 2023 or 2022 I think. So I have something to compare it to. I don’t like other calendar apps not from this developer nearly as much. This is just too useful for how it syncs between platforms and how it works for putting in events and reminders for me not to recommend.

I purchased Calendar 366 a few months ago. Today, I need to install it again but found out there is a new version and I need to pay again. Though the old app sucked so badly, I still want to be able to access what I paid for. Let me install the old version. Update: I spent a few minutes with the new version and do like it. So, I adjusted the rating. I still don’t like the fact that I have to purchase the same app twice.

Let me start by saying that i don’t mind paying for the update. I have used the previous version for many years and it was still my favorite app. This new version has a welcome refresh in the design language. Having said that, the update process could have been communicated better. One day i get a message in my old app. At the save time the old app disappears from the app store. That’s it. No other communication or explanation. I can’t tell if there is an upgrade path for recent customers of the old app but it doesn’t appear to. I do not like the new icon. I contacted the developer and he told me he had no intention to offer an alternative to go back to the old one? Why? A festure on the mac menu bar app i liked before (resizing) is actually still there, but hard to find. I purchased the livetime license anyway and hope for future updates of my favorite calendar app.
