Cons
Con Very confusing
It's confusing. One gets very lost just trying to do one small task. Likely caused by language barrier.
Con Ridiculously expensive
$30/yr just to 'borrow' their app is too much.
Con Disorganized
The amount of customization is great, but the app is all over the place. It's disorganized, very un-friendly to users.
Con Hard to use
It's hard to use and the design looks old.
Con Lacks military time
There's no option for military time.
Con Expensive icons
There's an icon packs that contain 8 icons. and the devs have the audacity to charge $6 for it.
Con Nasty customer support
Customer support displays entitled behaviour.
Con Free version allows just one new calendar creation
Using the free version means being limited to only one account in the calendar. For some it may not be too much of an issue, but to others is a pretty big con.
Con Can't swipe left/right from one month to another
Con Trackers!
Con Unskippable Ads
Users are forced to sit through a timer window every day before the ads will skip (for that day). Stupidly poor idea for a "Business" focused calendar app.
Con Isn't multi-platform
No option to manage from PC, it would be cool if there was multi-platform for this app as website, Windows App, Mac OS, etc.
