## Review summary

Simple Calendar is praised for its minimal, easy-to-use design and effective notification system. Users appreciate its color coding and independence from syncing accounts. Common complaints include lack of widgets, problems with event dates displaying incorrectly, no robust recurring event support, and limited customization such as font size and notification timing. Despite these, it remains a preferred choice for users seeking a straightforward and visually pleasing scheduling app, particularly students and organizing enthusiasts.

### Pros

- Color coding of events is available, helping users organize their schedules visually.
- The app works well as a stand-alone calendar without needing to sync with an account.
- Useful notifications notify users when events are due, aiding in planning and event tracking.
- The app is especially popular among students and those who want a straightforward calendar without clutter.

### Cons

- Lack of widget support limits quick access to events and tasks from the home screen.
- Limited ability to add recurring events; repeating events feature is missing or insufficient.
- Issues with event dates not syncing correctly or events appearing on the wrong day in views.
- Small font size and limited customization options, making it harder for users with visual impairments.
