PocketLife Calendar 4+

Fantastic for shift workers!!!

I work shifts in a hospital and love this app! It's so easy to use and quick to see what is coming up. I love that the templates are easy to use. The only improvements I would suggest are: - more colours, the dream would be a big colour palate like word has, but I'd settle for a white so I could just make lighter shades of the same colour. I’d love a different shape, other than the bar. I'd like to put it repeating dates e.g. Gym, or paydays but not have them be as obvious. Perhaps a circle in which you could just put a letter or two. Finally, I’d love to be able to share or combine this app with other members of my family who have this app. Otherwise this app couldn't be better!

Can’t believe I paid for this.

I have 3 major issues with this app.
1. Sometimes after filling out all the details of a specific date and reminder for an appointment, when I press “add” nothing is documented or saved and I’ll have to fill it out all over again.
2. When adding a day that has the actual day in the title (e.g Good Friday) the day doesn’t show up and only comes up as “good” forcing me to double back and rewrite the title again. This sometimes happens with names also, they show up in the “location” instead of the title where I intend them to be.
3. Recently I have been trying to save reminders for weekends in the future (which is what calendars are meant to do) however when I attempt to save the information, it saves to the date we are currently in. This has happened the last 20 times I’ve tried to save important dates.
For an app that asks for a yearly payment, this is unacceptable and I will not be renewing subscription.

You appear to be adding a new event using the "Quick Add" field.
When you type into the Quick Add field the app tries intelligently to detect a Title, Location, Start and End Time for the new event.
In the example you give typing "Good Friday" which you want as the title is picked up as an event titled "Good" on the day of Friday.
Sometimes it is not as intelligent as it should be!

Instead of using the Quick Add field you can leave it empty and just tap the "Add" directly.
The new event is then displayed and you can type directly into the new events title.

We continue to improve the Quick Add intelligence with each new updated thank you for reporting use cases that need fixing.

Great calendar.

I have used this calendar for years and it is a terrific programme.
However a recent change has resulted in the programme automatically inserting part of the “event description” into the location. It is a random selection from either the beginning or end of the event description and is always incorrect. This is really annoying and unnecessary. I cannot see that this automation would be useful to any user and I would like it fixed please. Or at least be able to choose for the programme not to make the insertion.
