Calendar - планер и календар‪ь‬ 4+

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.

Hi, thank you for sharing this. Good news – you’ll still have access to Calendars 5 through your Apple account and can keep using it as usual. However, support and updates for the app will no longer be provided, and future iOS updates may affect its performance. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to drop us a line at helpspot@readdle.com so we could help you. Best wishes, Illia.

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.

I love your apps! But, I am hoping you all can offer me some clarification between subscription Calendar VS. Paid Calendars 5.
I paid $30 for Calendars 5. Loved it. But I noticed that Calendars 5 does not have some or the functions that subscription Calendar offers; such as TV Guide and the other special calendars. If I paid $30 for the Calendars 5 app, I feel like I should have access to the special calendars. So, I ended up also purchasing a one year subscription to reg Calendar just because I felt I was missing out on the special calendars. If you’re offering a paid Calendars 5 app that’s $30, shouldn’t that app have it all!? Now I’m not sure which calendar to utilize bc I have purchased both of your calendars. Side notes: Readdle Calendar apps are the best of the best. Otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this excessive review. Also, it would be awesome if you added the ability for users to be able to change the app style; diff colors perhaps. Anywho, I’ll keep giving Readdle my money bc I know I’m getting quality apps. What updates can we look forward to for the new year, Readdle, for Calender/Calendars 5?

Hi, thank you for your kind and detailed feedback about our work ❤️

Indeed, Calendars and Calendars 5 are similar apps however they have few differences. The main difference between the two apps is in their business models. Calendars by Readdle (blue icon) is a free app that lets you easily create events and manage your schedule. The app has an optional premium subscription with advanced features. Calendars 5 (yellow icon) is a one-time purchase.

The only difference is that weather updates and Interesting Calendars are offered only in Calendars by Readdle. If you’d like to have these features, we suggest Calendars by Readdle.
I've also added your request to our Wish List, so our developers will keep it in mind for future updates.
