After years of use, I still like it. – colorCal+ Calendar Review

Update February 2020: After using this app for several years, I’ve grown to like it more than the original app it replaced. It has more functionality regarding multiple activities on the same day. I use it mainly to track my schedules work activities which can vary a lot depending on the week. But I also use it to remind myself to not let my work schedule interfere with life when there’s an event I need to be part of. Also, this app allows for a LOT more customization for what you need .. event titles, colors, special notes, etc. You can add as many as you like. The determining factor is being able to make your event’s colors different enough that you can distinguish one from another. The only real complaint I have is the lack of instructions, but if you use it enough, it all makes sense and works well. I recommend this app. Like so many others, I got this because xoCal stopped working with a recent iOS update .. So I decided to ignore the negative comments and chance it. In a nut shell, it works. Not great, but it works. I give them a 4 for the effort .. Problem is they tried to do too much with the app. I give them a 2.5 for the execution. It almost appears that whomever created this app didn't really USE the app to make sure it works well, flows well and is user friendly. I give this a 1.5 for not being very user friendly. I'd give it a big fat 0 for the lack of directions and the complete oddity of how some functions work .. Or don't work. I'd like to give examples of why there are problems, but without having the app open and walking through the issues step by step, I can't describe the issues .. Which are many. I personally think they tried to do too much and rather than add to the app, it just overwhelms the app and takes away from the experience and usability. If xoCal worked perfectly for you, you have the time to figure out how this app works, you have the mental capacity to remember how this app works if you haven't used it for a while and you don't mind having to jump thru the occasional small hoop to get what you want, I recommend this app. Though it feels like a beta and leaves a lot to be desired, it works okay as a replacement for xoCal.
