Calendar 366: Events & Tasks

What was already a great app has been made even better with version 1.6.0. Both fixes (e.g. search function) and new features (e.g. font sizing) have been implemented. The developer listens and delivers. Highly recommended still. Old review: With this latest update the developer has provided enhanced capabilities and even a few fixes. This is an excellent example of a developer listening to customer feedback and then coming through. For my money Calendar 366 is the best choice. Highly recommended. Old review: Yes, Calendar 366 is genuinely a fine agenda and reminder app. However, this is eclipsed by the developer’s dedication to the customer. When I reported a problem with the location search feature the developer listened, agreed that there was indeed a bug and produced a fix in less than forty-eight hours! Now Calendar 366 is feature packed and flawlessly executed. Highly recommended without hesitation.

This calendar has a great interface, which is important to me. I love the day view where I can view my to-dos on the side along with a month calendar on the iPad. The iPhone version (which you don't have to pay for separately) is also functional. I love how you can customize colors within the app and most importantly that you can integrade the tasks into the calendar itself and that it allows you to give it due dates (unlike in iOS Reminders). You can sync your existing calendars and your tasks from the Reminders app seamlessly. As much as I loved Fantastical, its views on iOS is limited. Google Calendar is still my calendar backbone but I hate that it doesn't allow you to sync it with Reminders. So the tasks on there are only within the app. This was a great find.

It’s got natural language entry that supports time, location, a calendar picker and priority. Cause ain’t nobody got time for half-hearted natural language input. This app supports reminders beautifully and they have natural language entry as well. That’s another way this app is a winner. I love weekly views and the ones in this app are perfect after an older update they made. Developers are responsive to emails as well. Ignore anyone who says this app isn’t worth it or is hard use. It’s basically Informant 5 at a realistic price for the average person who doesn’t spend hours googling how to use a $25 app. Buy it and you won’t regret it. This app is very underrated for all the value it provides.

(Update is at bottom, which addresses my initial issues and is why I changed my rating to five stars.) I love how this calendar displays my dates and information. How it looks deserves five stars. However, there are two critical items missing that I need: 1. The ability to specify time zone when creating an appointment. This is necessary for those who travel and are making an appointment for when they will be located in a different time zone. 2. The ability to set two alerts (e.g., 2hrs and 30min). This calendar only allows one alert. These items are present in the iPhones native calendar app. Fix these and and this app gets five stars. UPDATE: The developer replied to my email (through app support link) within a few hours and he provided the following response: As per default time zone support is just disabled. Preferences -> Advanced -> Events -> „ Time Zone support“ To add more alerts tap the (+) button (alarms dialog) top right. Or do you mean default alarms? This is already on my to-do list...

While this app looks good the interface is poor for readability and weak at helping prepare and accomplish tasks. In attempting to combine two apps into one, everything is minuscule and worse, there’s no option to alter the text size. On iPad this is less an issue, but on even an iPhone 8+, it’s hard to select, check-off, or read events/reminders. Themes are nice, but again, mostly eye-candy not helping in legibility. Mac version is strong in solving the issue of combining 2 large screen apps into one in a universal menu bar app. The iOS version seems to be the opposite...it makes 2 apps seem better than one combination app. Wish I could get a refund.
