## Description

The Grid redefines calendar planning with a beautiful, simple interface that displays event text directly on each day. Its persistent filter bar lets you view only the calendars you need, and built-in templates make creating frequent events a one-tap action. Drag-and-drop makes rescheduling effortless, so your day stays organized in seconds.

Designed for busy lives, it supports multiple calendars, time zones, natural language entry, and powerful syncing across Exchange, Google, and iCloud. Features like event copying, advanced search (Pro), reminders, and sharing options help you stay in control while moving fast.

## Review summary

Users praise The Grid for its clear month view, strong visual customization, ease of use, flexible alarms, and intuitive drag‑and‑drop scheduling. However, repeated concerns about data loss, events disappearing, ads after updates, issues with displaying added/edited events, lack of search/history, and limited editing of recurring events indicate significant reliability and feature gaps that affect long‑term reliability.

### Pros

- Clear at-a-glance month view that makes the month overview easy to grasp.
- Extensive alarm and reminder customization, including multiple alarms and per-list reminders.
- Vibrant visual customization with colors and themes (e.g., midnight version).
- Fast, easy-to-use interface with a clean, readable layout.
- Drag-and-drop scheduling makes rescheduling events quick.

### Cons

- Data loss: app has deleted all calendar events on multiple occasions.
- Ads appear after updates, even for users who previously paid for ad-free; ad-free purchases not honored.
- Sometimes added or edited events do not appear on the calendar or disappear, reducing reliability.
- Inability to edit recurring events (limited editing for recurring events).
- No built-in search or history feature for checking dates.
