Calendar 4+

I really like this App and use it for EVERYTHING…

I love the way I can add attachments, a URL, a telephone number (which then you can call simply by touching the phone logo) and Notes to each Calendar Entry. Also it takes you off to the URL (or Web address if included in Notes).

Also, I like the way it “picks up” the Location (Address) and takes you to🍏 Apple Maps…

However there are some glitches which are too complex to go into here… mainly to do with the App generating “double entries” for the exact same time and date… which show up when you search the Calendar BUT are NOT showing in the Actual Daily View (one page showing all entries for that Day).

If you “delete” ONE of the entries it (usually) deletes BOTH). Really strange is that you can Edit only one of the two entries (like add an ❌ in the Description) and they show up differently !!

It is WEIRD !!!

I sometimes completely “lose” an entry by trying to delete one of the “duplicates” and end up having to remember what was in it. I have learnt (the hard way) to “copy” ALL the details of an entry into an 🍏Apple Note (in the Notes App) BEFORE trying to delete one of the “duplicates”.

It really is ANNOYING !!!

I could go on about “little issues” but I think that’s enough for one Review.

<<<<< ends >>>>>

Well I could , but I’d be late, forget things, stressed trying to remember it all. I was actually just thinking about it this morning how it helps to keep me so organised and in control I like to be able to check at a glance in the next day or the week ahead. The only problem I sometimes have about it is that if I search for something in my calendar all of the results don’t always show up which could cause me problems and I’m not sure why this happens. It’s great, though. It is so much better than a diary for me and it just helps to keep my mind calm, and I feel in control.

Week view ❌❌❌

Whoever is responsible for the calendar app at apple, please finally pull your finger out and allow this app the be great.
The landscape week view is crap. Allow that style in portrait (as per the iPad or many third party apps) and you have eared your spot in the apple hall of fame. Maybe you need to find a way to do week view the “Apple way”. Well I have good news… you already did and it’s on the iPad. Now please go steal it from there, make it fit the iPhone screen and claim your reward in the form of respect.
And while your stealing the week view from the iPad. Steal the bloody month view too. As once again, iPhone calendar month view is crappy as well.

iPhone calendar doesn’t get everything wrong. Day view, agenda view and even the event creation process are all decent. Event creation could get a bit more intelligent and incorporate language parson like the reminders app does (another hint on where to steal it from Apple, yes it’s your own internal departments again).

If all of the above points were met, they iPhone would probably have the perfect calendar app. Well as far as just calendars go. Incorporate a view of your reminders from the reminders app and then it would be 👌🏻
