Review summary

Across: Modern Calendar is highly praised for its widgets, deep customization, and a valuable one-time purchase. Users also laud its calendar/task integration and visually polished UI. Common drawbacks include maps not opening from addresses, the absence of a notes feature, and widget usability/readability issues. There’s a recurring call for more customization options (fonts, themes) to further tailor the experience. Overall, the app is favored for flexibility and value, with specific improvements suggested to enhance navigation, notes, and widget usability.

Pros

Extensive widgets and Home Screen widget support for calendar and tasks on iPhone/iPad.
High degree of customization: themes, colors, calendars, layouts, and multiple views.
One-time purchase with no ongoing subscription, offering good value.
Strong integration between calendar and tasks, plus solid syncing with Google/Apple calendars and a wide range of views.
Visually appealing design that enhances planning and is accessible for users who rely on color-coding.

Cons

Addresses in events and widgets do not open Maps when tapped, hindering quick navigation.
No built-in notes feature; users want quick notes and notes attached to events.
Widget readability and interaction issues: small text, wrapping problems, and risk of accidentally marking tasks complete; needs larger tap targets and clearer interactions.
Requests for more customization options beyond current themes/colors, including additional fonts and improved widget behavior.

2026-05-23	sr*****	I have used every major calendar & planner app, and tested many more, since Remember the Milk. It is an obsession of mine. And this is the best! I especially like the “Plan” weekly planner and the use of colors for events/tasks.

2026-05-02	Ry*****	The iPhone calendar has always bugged me. It’s so limited and I can barely make out what the h*ll is going on in my day. Across completely bridges that gap. I can visualize everything. I literally had no idea what I was missing until this came along. And to get a lifetime subscription for this price was the easiest purchase I’ve made in a while. Gone are the days of apps being passion projects rather than schemes to extract money from you over time. Across is the exception. I bought this app not just because it’s good but I believe the developers should be compensated for their hard work and integrity. To them, I want to express my gratitude. I know the development process is unforgiving and without thanks. And to everyone teetering, unsure whether they should try the app, download it and experience the trial for yourself.

2026-04-26	na*****	If you’re all into aesthetics, this will be the perfect task/calendar app for you. Its simplistic style allows you to be in full control of your layout and styling. What would take this app above and beyond is if they added a free notes section, where you can write notes, freehand. Also, there was an option to add an image to any task or event (as a header). Overall, it’s a wonderful app for those who love simple, classic, yet polished calendars.

2026-04-19	Je*****	I started looking around for a replacement Calendar app when the previous one I used went to a yearly subscription. Around a year ago, I found this one and once I get used to the navigation, it became essential. I resisted purchasing the premium initially because of the price, but when I found how useful the extra features were and the quality of life just having the visuals, be pleasant to look at I purchased. It’s well worth it, and I really thank the author for not polluting this application with useless features. Even the visual things make sense if you want to take advantage of them and the default that are provided our great starting points.

2026-04-10	Al*****	I was looking for a do it all organization app, and Across was a great find which is the best the best! Key Strengths: - Widgets Well designed and functional Easy to use and functional widgets for calendar/tasks right on Home Screen - User friendly design - Great customization options - Variety of features - Integration of Tasks/Calendar Below is a note for Across on areas I think can be improved to make the app even better! Specific areas to improve: - Need more customization options in general and themes. In the dark theme section, should be an even lighter blue option. The current blue is good, but slightly lighter would make it more clear. Widgets are great but can be improved. - For 2/3 week widgets, the event should be wrapped into the next line. When only a single event, most of the name is cut off even though there’s a lot of blank space below it. - For the N days widget or week, the all day events should be shown up top. Its very important to show an all day event and there’s plenty of space above each day in a 3 day view to include a single all day event - Day Widget can be improved. Text should be bigger or options to customize it as it can be hard to read. Should be options so clicking anywhere on the task doesn’t mark it complete. Maybe have to click on the circle (which could be bigger) or double click, otherwise it’s too easy to accidentally emark them complete.

2026-03-26	al*****	I have used a lot of calendar apps. This is by far my favorite. I have been using it for over a year now without any desire to look for something better. It has all the layouts I want and the flexibility for personalization.

2026-02-26	So*****	I love that I can access my Google calendar in the app. I love the widget views. I switched to ios from Android and really missed my Google calendar widgets. This is the closest one I could find to match it. I do wish the list view widget was scrollable but it's still near perfect. The biggest miss is not being able to click on the address and taken straight to maps. This would make the app perfect.

2026-02-01	ro*****	The design isn’t the slickest one, but when it comes to functionality, this app shines. It’s a solid app that can integrate both calendars and tasks. And it has a wide list of different views and theme options. Highly recommended.
