Con Date on icon removed in redesign
In the older versions of Today Calendar, the icon would have the current days date, sadly this was removed with the redesign of the app.
Con App crashes too often
Though the app is pretty likable, it keeps crashing. It was fine for a time, but about 2-3 months ago, it would just crash without warning. Nowadays, it happens so often that seeking a replacement may be a good probability.
