User Reviews for PocketLife Calendar

Customization Galore!

I absolutely LOVE how many specific things you can customize in this app to make it the exact way you want it to work for you! This is by far my favorite calendar app I’ve ever used, but it has a few downfalls in my experience.... The major one is that for some reason when I add an event, it creates like 15 duplicates and then if I need to delete it, I have to delete every single duplicate event individually and it gets very aggravating! It also takes up all of the space in the month view and anything later in the day is hidden at the bottom of the list of duplicates and you can’t see it unless you scroll through the billion copies of the earlier event. I’m not sure if this is only my app doing this or if it’s a common issue. It does get very annoying, but it hasn’t caused me to switch calendar apps yet, because all of the other benefits this app has to offer outweighs the issue in my opinion, but it would definitely be awesome and gain that fifth star if they would fix it! All in all though, I would absolutely recommend this app to anyone that wants to set up their calendar just the way they like it because the possibilities are endless!

Great except Time Zone awkward

I like everything about PocketLife calendar EXCEPT how it manages time zones when scheduling an item. I would much prefer to name the Time Zone rather than pick a city in that zone to identify it. Seems quirky, and it is annoying when entering multiple items in my schedule. Furthermore, not sure how it handles items that cross time zones. Do you enter the time it would have been in the original zone? Or do you enter the time it will be in the zone where the activity ends?Other than that repeating time zone entering annoyance I really like everything about PocketLife calendar. MUCH better and easier to see my schedule than in Apple’s Calendar. The little dots in Apple’s version don’t tell me much of anything. In PocketLife I can see the title (or at least enough of it) and the color to know what activity is scheduled for any given day. Plus..you can have 4 different calendars, with 4 different contents, with PocketLife. Imagine a “work” calendar, a vacation calendar, a travel calendar, a home calendar, holiday calendar, or any combination of types. Makes it very easy to see my schedule.

What a help!

I was trying to keep up with my schedule and my husband’s plus 2 daughters and monthly puppy medicine for 5 dogs. Now I’m retired and need it even more......now there is even more to keep up with vacations, doctor appointments, church functions, meeting friends for breakfast or lunch and last but not lease my husbands still works some for the company he retired from and a side job doing special projects for another company. I downloaded this app because it can be shared. Now my husband has a copy on his phone, there’s a copy on my phone and my iPad so I don’t have to stop what I’m doing when he asks what are we doing on such and such a date or did I work last any last week, or when are we supposed to meet the “Jones?” Now I can keep up with birthdays, deaths, holidays, special events and I even set up colors to see at a glance what’s coming up. I recommend it for anyone with a busy family, I wish I’d had it when my girls were younger.

I feel in control

I’ve dreamed of being one of ‘those’ people since i was a child. You know, the people who are so organized it almost makes you dizzy? My organization skills have always been sub par. Ive tried almost every app on the app store, planners, sticky notes, paper calendars and even white boards. Ive had this app for about an hour and i already feel more organized than i ever have. I really like how you can customize the shapes of the labels, as well as the color choices. I HATE getting an app and they have 5-6 ashy or pastel tones and thats it. im a visual person so its way easier for me to view. The only thing i would change if i could is, if you could sync your meal plan from the ‘any list’ app that i use to grocery shop and store recipes/meal plan for the week. That app is so handy for check lists/ grocery organizations/ and more. These two apps together? WHEW, i would be unstoppable! Thanks for creating an interface thats not completely boring for those of us out here that, without this range of customization, would forget they even had a schedule planned ( reminder/alarm or not) being an adult doesnt have to be completely boring, and this app gets you excited to add new things to your schedule!

Needs a few changes to the Apple Watch app to make it even better

Since I pretty much only downloaded this app strictly for my watch - the Apple calendar app for the iPhone is sufficient but on the watch? Not so much. I like being able to see the full month display with your app on my watch because you can’t get that view with the Apple calendar. It shows everything else but as far as the “at a glance” view, no. One thing I would like to see for the watch face is the ability to, when I go to customize my complications, I would like to be able to select your app for the date display on my watch for the date and day instead of using the default “date” selection. Reason being, in order to view the month the way I like to see it is that I have to go through all them extra steps to open your app. I could just use your app as a complication but the default view isn’t the day and date. It’s the next upcoming event. Can we change that to displaying the date and day? Or at least change it so that we can choose what it shows there as a complication?

Awesome

I never know what to title a review, bus Awesome pretty much explains it. My friend introduced me to this app a few years ago and I have not been able to live without it since. I was the paper calendar person because I like to physically see what I have going on and not just a dot that says I’m busy. Apple shows a dot when something is on your calendar, that can be a birthday, an event, a holiday I don’t celebrate etc. the only thing I don’t like about this app is I can’t delete the holidays that I don’t celebrate but that’s fine. They recently fixed the glitch when inviting someone. When I first got the app I could just start typing and the contact would appear. Then for about a year or so I physically had to go into my contacts to add them (always the same people) now I can add those same people I always add to events by just typing again. I know it seems petty but it was the ease of the app and I liked it. But it never stopped me from using it. I love that it just lays everything out and it so simple to read. Work is one color, fun things are another and important things are another. It works out great!

Font Size for Events

I’ve used this app for a long time and I’m happy with the features I use. However no matter what font you choose the Size of the font Changed if the event title is long. This makes my eyes cross, I can’t focus on the sch because I have to look for sms size fonts that appear to be the location because of the size. I add calendar items from other apps which are lengthy, I would rather have the title truncated rather than looking at events with large fonts and little bitty fonts. Because if this I have been looking at other apps but I don’t like them, I want to use PocketLife but my eyes go cross eyed trying to be sure I am not missing events. How about a setting to choose. Maybe I am missing a setting? 4 stars because otherwise I love this app but that little thing is a very big thing to me, it’s totally inconsistent and makes the screen jumbled up. I don’t want to adjust every long title because you can’t truncate it. Please add a setting !!I’m sick of looking at other apps.

Used to love this app

I have used this app for a few years and really enjoy it. It's easy to use and the option of colorizing events makes it easy, with a quick glance. I have come to depend on the ability to colorize events and personalize the look by changing pictures. I’m so disappointed recently because I bought a new phone and iPad and my calendar did not sync with either. I tried reloading it and that didn’t work. So I’ve had to go back and manually copy my stuff onto the new devices. I have gotten new devices many times in the past and did not have the same issue. I’m not going to do it again. Really frustrating! I’ve tried others but none are like this one. Super sad : (Update: I received an unexpected response to my complaint and was able to fix the problem. I recommend this app for sure! But it shouldn’t require a poor review to get the problem solved. It should be a seamless transfer of information when transferring to a new device. Hopefully next time it won’t be so hard and disappointing.

Extremely versatile, invaluable app!

I have been using this calendar app for many years now and every update it only gets better. Customer service is very responsive and helpful. I love the fact it is a calendar, recipe book and list maker all in one. The lists I make on here are invaluable! Not only the grocery list, I have a list for everything we need if we go away. I am able to filter and categorize it for day trip vs camping vs airline trips. I even have a list that I have been able to categorize by month and filter by travel distance with all the things that we would like to do or see. Then if we have some time and don’t know how to fill it, I can look at my list and gain inspiration. Now to mention the recipe section… It is so well laid out and extensive that it does everything I need it to and more. I really love that once you have added an ingredient you can check it off, I don’t lose my place anymore. Don’t know what I would do without this app!!

Love it!

Love that it links w other calendars (though I'd prefer to mesh them all together onto one grand calendar), love that it's linked w my reminders, and the alerts AND the alerts based on location/drive time!! (though could use more options for the audible alerts) love the layout-that I can see a portion of what I wrote w the color I chose on each day instead of a simple dot that doesn't mean anything without clicking it... don't like that I have to keep paying for it over and over every year but like it so much I keep doing just that. Recently figured out how to view my calendar on my iPad- and share it between the two devices- so I can be on the phone and adjusting the iPad calendar at the same time.Main thing I would change: when you have 2 events for the same day, be able to choose which one goes on top! To prioritize the at a glance display. I’d rather know at a glance I have a doctors appt that day over knowing it’s my lil icon indicating it’s a pay day.. as even tho I try to do things w different colors, inevitably the more important one defaults to the bottom layer and I miss things.. easy to click and view but not so much at a glance to see that little border..
