Calendars: Schedule Planner

27Jun2025 addendum: Changed to 5 stars. After extensive email conversations with Tech Support, this issue has been favorably resolved. My experience with Readdle customer support has always been superlative and this time was even more so given the circumstances of war in which they find themselves. *********** I've used this App and its predecessors for over a decade. My iPhone 7 is limited to iOS 15.8.3. CalendarsPro requires ≥ iOS16. Prior to the second week in June my app had the following functions available: location, rooms,attendees, video call and note. Now according to messages at the bottom of an appointment screen, I no longer have the attendee and video call functions without upgrading to Pro. But my iPhone7 cannot be upgraded to iOS16 and therefore cannot be upgraded to Pro. And apparently I'm also locked out of sharing appointments with my wife who has the same app and iPhone7. Sharing appointments is the only reason we have been using this Readdle App for a decade. Why did you TAKE AWAY functionality and require an upgrade for devices that cannot be upgraded? *****************

I’ve used this app for a very long time, I think when it first came available on Apple if I’m not mistaken. I’ve referred countless friends and coworkers since the beginning, I was so impressed. Not many changes were made from the Calendar 5, but I could be missing it. I’ve come to rely on this calendar for so many things, even though I use a paper planner as well, this is my everyday go-to for bills, tasks, and the calendar. No, I no longer have the “receipt” from the Apple App Store, I don’t even think purchases are available for that long ago. I’ve tried the Google and Apple calendars, which are not user friendly, and options are limited. I do understand that nothing is free, but having paid for it once and now you want a yearly subscription, this is something I can’t afford. Until I find a better solution, this will be my favorite, but I’m moving on. UPDATE: I searched high and low for a receipt to no avail. I have been using this app for more than 12 years at least (although I’m going by the date I moved), but I know it’s been longer. For people who purchased the app long ago, keep us in the “old” version or at least offer it.

Making me pay yearly when I already paid for the calendar is just a money making scheme. Just like Fantastical. Why not just admit it instead of saying nothing. Those of us migrated from Calenders 5 gained nothing! This is a strictly money making thing for all of you. Updated: I have updated to the new version. It just seems clunkier to me than Calenders 5 amd seems to have list some the flow/features for Calendar 5. I still hate the wheels for repeating appointments- so awkward and old fashioned. There has to be a better away- seriously! Especially when I am importing a LOT of appointments the last thing I want is a date/time wheel for a years worth of appointments!! It should be automatic. I shouldn’t have to do each manually! The customer service people at Readle are responsive and I hope they can update some the features soon to make it worth the $20 they will be asking soon. I support their endeavors but they have to keep up. Look at what Fantastical did when they started charging - they still haven’t recovered their popularity but they allow the free version to have a good number of features and regular updates. I hope Readdle learns from them. Otherwise, Google and even the free version of Fantastical are looking good.
