Cons
Con Poor visual design
The design of the app looks a bit dated, something out of the early 2000's. While this does not impede the usefulness of the application, it still is a sore point when compared to some of the other popular calendar apps available on Android.
Con Widgets don't show week numbers correctly on some devices
Widgets on certain devices have been showing week number incorrectly for more than 2 years. The issue hasn't been addressed and there is no sign that it will be.
Examples from S4:
Con Poor support
The developers provide virtually no help with issues.
Con Can quickly become crowded
The app tries condensing a lot of information at the expense of readability.
Con Google tasks are not integrated into DigiCal Calendar
