| 2024-11-08 |  | | Im having trouble with this app. It was deleted from my phone. When I reinstalled it, it asked for my email and password. I put them both in, and it tell me incorrectly. So i asked for the password reset to my email. Which says the link expired, and now it won't send me an email link at all. I've had this app for over 7 years now and love the app. I have told many people about it. We have a family of 7, so we need an app where we can share and have different colors and pictures for us. |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | Organized, easy to navigate, FREE! I can color coordinate each member, each event, and share it across my family's phones.. This is by far the best app that you could get, and I've searched through several, and the others were not as easy to navigate like FamCal .. Plus amazingly FREE for a big family to use like mine.. Thank you FamCal for making our hectic schedule easy to navigate through. |
| 2024-10-15 |  | | I have a large family (10 people!) and this app had been an absolute game changer for keeping us all on the same page the last couple years. It's nice being instantly updated about a new event. It would be great though, if their were a few more customizable options for colors or photos. It would also be great to be able to have more than one calendar because this would also be a useful tool for group activities. |
| 2024-10-08 |  | | Update: they reached out to me. They found my account for me. I made a mistake when I set it up and they saw this and let me know. I really appreciate the help. Technical issue and zero response caused me to cancel. I lost all my appointments, which was extremely inconvenient. I got a new phone, and the app no longer recognizes my email address. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this without help from the app developers. Who have ignored me. I need a calendar and have had to move on. |
| 2024-09-27 |  | | After years of loving this app, an update this year has made it very problematic. If I accidentally check the wrong item off on a store list, it's gone forever. Even if I click the option to uncheck all, it does nothing & never displays any of the unchecked items again. They just vanish. So if you click something on your list by accident, you better hope you can remember what's missing from your list so you can still buy it. It used to just cross things out, but now it deletes them forever. |
| 2024-08-02 |  | | I feel like we wasted money. Fam of 7. Calendar does not always update to changes in times. can't see who has appt, need to click open/edit to see names. Addresses show. But not linked to Google maps and can't copy/paste. Randomly appointments dissapear when someone else's updates to when it was previously dated. You can't edit names/emails you have to DELETE them and add a new contact. wiping the appt set for the contact. Waste of yearly membership. |
| 2024-07-09 |  | | Absolutely brilliant! This app is the best calendar app I've seen. My wife and I use this to coordinate our busy schedules and it is great for lists and reminders too. I have 2 suggestions for the Devs 1. Let me add pictures to calendar entries. Sometimes invites have QR codes or parking instructions and stuff. It would be nice if instead of typing the notes out I could just add the invite pic. 2. Colab with echo devices. I want to be able to use my smart devices to add to or hear my stuff |
| 2024-06-28 |  | | Love this app. It keeps peace between my wife and I. We are so much more organized. Update to my review. Calendar shows I have an event but no information when I click on the date. Was working great until I did an update. If it works leave it alone. Now this is garbage to me. My wife didn't do the update and it works for her. |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | Literally life saving for our fam for the past 3 years. I have a lifetime subscription. Everyone knows what is going on. Our 3 teenagers have learned how to be organized with their sports/social life & plan. I love the notification options & birthdays. Each person is given their own sign-in and can input their own events. There is a "private" option that allows each user hide events from the rest of the users. One of my favorite features is the color coding of each user. |
| 2024-06-02 |  | | I’ve been using FamCal on my Android phone, while my wife uses it on her Apple device. Unfortunately, the recipe list feature is very disappointing on Android. My wife’s recipe list is nice and organized, but mine won't load any of the recipes we’ve made. This issue started after a recent update, and it’s incredibly frustrating. We rely on FamCal for everything and even paid for the app, but the recipe list on Android is now practically unusable. Despite contacting support, the problem remains. |
