Ermine - Calendar & Widgets

This app is great aesthetically. Easy to use and has simple customizations. HOWEVER, I don’t know why but for some reason in the past three months, I’ve had my calendar completely wiped six times. I’ve used this app for two years and had no problems, even recommended it to friends. Never had this happen before now. Once, okay I get it maybe I messed up and so I fixed all my settings so it’s all synced and backed up. Twice, I thought was odd but chalked it up to an iPhone update gone awry even though my settings were set to sync. HOWEVER SIX TIMES????? Insane. The app support/help page is a JOKE. They just ask you to resync your calendar? ITS BEEN SYNCED. There is no reason why my calendar just decided to end itself six times over the period of three months. This has pushed me to look at other calendar apps because some of these appointments were set months ahead of time and I have cannot remember them now, no thanks to this app. Sure it’s pretty, but it’s empty, just like my calendar.

I’ve been using the fitness apps Hops and Standland for years and I was looking at the other apps they have, saw this one. So far I am loving it! The main reason I am so excited about this app is first, it is so easy for me to look at my monthly appts all at once and that includes PAST appts!! I was searching forever on how to restore my dates/appts on iCal and frustrated gave up and what’s this…? It’s on my Ermine calendar app!! All of it!! Without even doing any searching!!! Love the color options, syncing all of my calendars at once and again, my past appts/dates. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 😊

I actually am really pleased with this app, paid the one time $3 upgrade to pro, maybe not necessary but glad to make a couple more customizations. Love that it syncs to my existing calendar (and actually opens a calendar when I click on it - unlike Widgetsmith). Only feedback would be ability to scroll through months (instead of clicking an arrow), or minimize calendar to see the whole year - the way the iOS calendar does would be great enhancements to this app. And a couple more aesthetic options for the larger widget would make the pro purchase more worth it! Widgetsmith aesthetic with iOS calendar functionality, almost perfect!
