User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise CalendarLife for its color-coded events, strong customization, and feature set that beats the stock iPhone calendar. Users value the readable UI, the ability to share events, set reminders, and customize per-entry colors. However, several recurring issues emerge: lack of a search function, renewal/purchase friction (repeated charges and failed restores), date accuracy glitches after iOS updates, UI changes that erase familiar layouts, and occasional SSL/server identity warnings. Overall, it’s beloved for visuals and flexibility, but users cite pricing friction and several stability and feature gaps that show up across multiple reviews.
Pros
  • Color coding across events and per-entry color bars.
  • Versatile feature set that beats the built-in calendar (notes, reminders, sharing, color bars).
  • Readable UI with strong accessibility benefits for vision-impaired users.
  • High reliability and stable performance with ongoing updates.
  • Easy to use and visually appealing interface.
Cons
  • No search function for events.
  • Renewal/purchase friction and restore purchase failures; recurring charges.
  • Date/time accuracy issues (lagging behind and incorrect day/date) after OS updates.
  • UI changes in updates that remove familiar setups or make it hard to revert.
  • SSL/server identity verification warnings that interrupt usage.

Third update May 2026. Have used this app for years. They have fixed all of my complaints. It is very well done, I can use my own pictures in the background, everything‘s color-coded for various things such as sports versus work versus birthdays versus daily to do, etc. You can set reminders ahead of time. Easy to see at one glance. Really love this calendar. Upgraded to five stars now. Second Update from my previous comments below: All my past comments still apply except for the negative one about default color and changing the color to what I want they seem to have fixed that so I know I'll get whatever color I choose and it now stays for that calendar item. Also agree with other reviewer's that it would sure be nice to be able to look into the past and see what appointments, etc. I had three or four months ago as it automatically deletes them out. Old Comments: Better than iCalendar. Pros: -syncs automatically my iphone and ipad, and my wifes iphone so she has my calendar. -Alarms work well to notify upcoming event. -Different colors for different events, work, play, appts, etc - however you want to set it up. -Can scroll thru various events for the day -Can customize month calendar background with photos of your choice. Cons: -Difficult to tap event on iphone due to how small event is on month calendar, but can change to day or week view to make it bigger. Usually still works on month view but takes a couple of tries at times. - Difficult to delete event as you have to go into the edit event portion and then all the way down to the bottom. There is a delete button on initial screen but it doesn't respond for me unless go into edit view. -Haven't figured out how to get SIRI to sync an event to the calendar for me when talking with her. -Default color for event will often pop up even though I chose a different color initially. I have to go back into edit event and select different color once again and then it usually stays that color WOULD BE NICE TO GET THAT FIXED. Overall happy with app and have used it for years.

I have used this app for years, I love how versatile it is vs the built in app. You can change color bars for each event. Change reminders with ease, share events with other people. Much more.
