SOOOO buggy!

Which is a huge bummer because it would be FANTASTIC if it weren’t so full of bugs. This morning it switched a date on a to-do to December 1969. And so many duplicates, even when you follow the directions to remove them. And the alert sound is super short and hard to hear, so it’s easy to miss. The sync is slow, and unreliable across devices, too. That said, it is still my favorite calendar app! It’s the only one where the month view gives you actual information, and not just dots. And I like how the to-dos are listed under the events (not mixed in with them). It really is a great interface - and it’s even pleasing to look at and fun to customize. (Although I wish highlighting “today” were an option, rather than just a little dot - it’s hard to find!)
But please, PLEASE, stop adding features and start fixing what you have. Habit tracker and countdown features sound cool, but they are useless if the app is totally buggy and unreliable. I don’t want to cancel my subscription and delete this app, but I will have to if I can’t trust it!

Almost perfect

There are 3 things I need from this app:

1) Weekly View

2) To-Do items that cross over into google tasks or apple reminders, since there is no widget. The instruction say that Apple Reminders cross (1 way?) over but that hasn’t been the case for me. Anyway I want a 2 way crossing from either direction.

3) Since the update, you can no longer drag and drop an item from the memo tab to your calendar.
It used to be: looking at your memos and saying “Oh yeah! I need an oil change.” And pressing on that item and dragging to your next day off.

That needs to come back, it was far more intuitive than choosing the day, going to more , then having to already have been to the memo tab to look at your notes to see which task or event you want to put on that day, THEN finding and scheduling it.

Fix these things and the lack of response to support questions and it’s perfection. I love the do to feature, I love the customization, even though I wouldn’t mind that expanding, I love the import from google cal, and the fact that the things you don’t finish auto-roll over to the next day, and I love the ability to have separate categories and color customization for those categories. Pretty great app!

Developer Response ,

Hello. I am the developer of TimeBlocks. Thank you for posting a lot of good comments. It was shown in the reviews that you have a love for our app, so I read on.
First of all, we are providing a widget, and sometimes it seems that widget errors are seen among ios users. Therefore, we have reported this issue to Apple. In this case, you can reboot the device or reinstall the app. In the case of weekly view, widgets provide it, but not within the calendar. We will refer to your review and refer to it in future updates.
Thanks for loving the app. We will try to be a 5 star app for you.

Almost good enough

This app is almost worth paying a monthly or yearly price. I don’t like subscription apps personally, but for a calendar with this many features I can understand the need for more than just a one-time fee. The ability to add photos and attachments to events is very useful, as is the interval setting, though both are only available in the premium/paid version. However, with only being able to set one alarm per event, only having the option of monthly view (no weekly view), and no iOS14 widget compatibility, (and plus the aesthetic additions cost even more money), I find that this is not very useful for my needs and does not justify the high price. Fix the bugs, add the widgets, and add the ability to set more reminders for events and I’d probably be sold.
