Tiny Calendar Pro Reviews

by 54baj

I've used TinyCalendarPro for a long time and have liked it a lot. However, lately I've been noticing a bug and no way to fix it. I've turned off my phone and restarted it. I've deleted TinyCalendarPro and reinstalled. I looked at TinyCalendarPro support link here and it took me to a page that was basically an advertisement for their products with no contact information or other way to contact the developers.

Right now if I have several events on the same day, I click on +2 or whatever number. The pop-up should show all the events for the day, but it just shows a white screen. If I tap in the right spot I can sometimes see text appear, but it goes away as soon as I stop clicking on it. This is very problematic! I hope this is a fix soon. It’s been doing this for at least a week.

I love TinyCalendarPro and have used it for many years. Lately I’ve noticed TinyCalendarPro is running very slowly, both in my iPad Pro and my new iPhone 13 Pro. I am running the latest iOS version 15.4.

In addition, my whole family uses TinyCalendarPro to share our Google calendars. For several years now, we have had to manually force the sync every time we make a calendar entry/modification just to ensure the newest information syncs to the main Google calendar so everyone can receive the new information. We wish the auto-sync feature would work as advertised.

I tried a few apps as this is my first iphone and this best suited my needs. I like to have 2 calendars synced and showing together with different colors ( as they do on Gdesktop).
I wish TinyCalendarPro badge showed the current date and that the day view showed more time but this does sync well and does the job
*As a follow up, well over a year later I still really like TinyCalendarPro and use it consistently. The only reason I have another calendar on my iPhone is because the other one's badge displays the current date. Again it syncs really well.

Love TinyCalendarPro. I use it to keep my husband and I on the same schedule and we can look at if from our phones, on our computers by logging in to google. It's great! Keeps my busy family schedule organized! There aren't 5 stars only because it takes some time setting up to get it how you like it. There are duplicates that have to be unchecked and would like to see an option to save your favorite home screen vs having to change the view every time. But those are the only negatives and I have used this calendar for about 3 years now.

I started using the free version of TinyCalendarPro around 2012 or early 2013. I like the layout much better than the Google calendar app, the iPhone calendar app and other calendar apps I have tried. It seamlessly integrates tasks or schedules I use from other programs such as Outlook into its layout, and also offers many options to choose from for setting reminders, alarms, repeating events, etc. The alarms/reminders have never failed me, even with the free version. Last year I finally paid for the ad free version - I’m not sure what took me so long. However, since iOS has upgraded to 14.0.1 TinyCalendarPro has been consistently crashing while I have been using it. I am hoping for an update to come out to fix this bug, but every time it crashes I get a little nervous I will lose the data I am in the process of entering. This is why I removed one star.

For me the mini month view calendar is worth paying for TinyCalendarPro. Unlike the standard iPhone calendar which only shows colored dots for each event, TinyCalendarPro actually lets you see (color coded) text for each day of the month. Saves me lots of time when checking my availability.

Downsides to this calendar... the whole calendar sharing thing is a bit confusing when editing which calendar views you'd like to see and sometimes events will show twice. Also syncing is kinda slow and requires either wifi or a really strong phone signal. Sometimes I turn auto-sync off because it can also slow the response time of the calendar, though this was more of an issue with my older iPhone.

***Update- a couple IOS updates ago, the “yearly” repeat function stopped working correctly. It is off by one day, which makes keeping track of birthdays/annual events on this calendar difficult.***

Overall- still WAY better than the calendar that comes with your device. People are always asking me what app I'm using cause of the mini-month view. Take note iPhone developers!

I’m an Apple/iCloud user but use Tiny because of it’s superior layout (so I can quickly see how many jobs per day I have, instead of only 1 “dot” per day). And I merge it with the iCloud calendar in order to sync with my employees which all works well.
But recently in my line of business I’ve added deposit requirements, which this one doesn’t support so I have to use a different scheduling app for quote and deposit capability.
But that app’s calendar layout is just like the iCloud calendar, only one dot per day no matter how many jobs per day are scheduled. So I book people through the scheduling app and merge it with tiny calendar which then merges to iCloud. At quick glance to see what all is scheduled, I primarily use tiny which is merged with now 2 other calendars to complete the full capability.
If only this one had a way to integrate deposits and share calendar with other users so I it could be an all in one.
Photo capability would be cool too.

I’ve used this calendar for several years, but lately since the new iOS update it freezes or won’t allow me to click on a day to add events. Would really love to be able to use this again. How about a fix for this?

Significantly better. I’ve got several calendars that I can view all together. Set reminders days in advance with consecutive alerts. My wife and I both have a shared calendar and our own separate ones. No arguments over things we’re doing (it’s in the calendar ... just wish it would time stamp and record who put the appointments in)

I really like TinyCalendarPro. I wish the color bars were more vibrant. They should do away with the little dots. They’re totally useless in comparison to the color bar with words option. I also wish that the “two” calendars (os,etc) were more compatible. I don’t use the calendar on my laptop often (maybe twice a year)so it’s not that big a deal but it would be nice to see all of my appointments there too.

My next wish would be to have national holidays already incorporated into TinyCalendarPro as well.
I use color bars for:
Work days(Red) I work a three day schedule
Work days I have off(blue) furloughs,etc.
Events/things to do and Doctor appointments(yellow)
House projects/family events(green)
When I pay cash for labor(brown)
Client appointments(red)
Vacation dates(yellow) I like that you can string along a number of dates and write a long title and with simple but important stuff like departure times right into the title.

Anyway, I use my tiny calendar a lot!!

Like many people, I run multiple calendars for my kids, businesses, and family, and there are many things to forget. What keeps us afloat are multiple calendars. The main reason I use Tiny Calendar is that you can actually change which calendar you’re marking an appointment on with your phone. Googles app doesn’t do this on Google calendar.

Bottom line is that Tiny is an enormous lifesaver for me.

The “mini month” view allows you to see the first 9 +/- characters of the calendar event so you can see everything coming up for the whole month. Yes the font is small of course if you’re viewing it on a regular size iPhone but it’s a very legible font so you can glance at the whole month without having to click on an individual day and see what’s going on that day. The mini month view is what I keep the view on all the time.

Last year I left a very poor review Because when they updated TinyCalendarPro I lost every one of my important dates. I was beyond angry and frustrated with the company. I took a chance and used it again this year and have had no problems so far… With updates…

It is extremely easy to use, easy to find the dates and the appointments. I love TinyCalendarPro at this point.

The only caution I would give the company is do not update TinyCalendarPro unless the customer does not lose the data.

I’ve used this so much more than my apple calendar. I find this very useful for my family! I can keep track of all our schedules and important dates! My husband and I update our schedules here and we see both our schedules and you can add every family member’s schedule and keep track of it all in one spot! Love the tiny calendar feature!! I can see all our schedules for the month at a glance!!! And my work calendar app also syncs with this!! Seriously with the extra $$ to go pro

by Darnfella

We have been using this application for over 8 years. Love the up to date calendar for multiple family members across many devices. It automatically syncs gmail calendars for various teams and organizations. Never do you ever have to miss meetings, functions, work, appointments.

Pro: I can see all my mothers upcoming healthcare appointments and she can see my schedule. 👍🏻👍🏻 For those with aging parents, you know how important it is to attend Dr appointments with your parent.

Cons: once you leave or graduate from organization, you can uncheck the calendar sync, but I cannot just remove that calendar. Meaning, I have old sports teams, scouting programs, church groups that the kids are no longer part of but I still have the calendar option that I will never need again….

Why the default calendar app on iPhones is still incapable of providing more than 2 reminders for an event is amazing to me. And Tiny calendar let’s me set 5 reminders as a default FOR ALL MY APPOINTMENTS! Amazing and a HUGE help to this busy mom who is booking appointments and tasks months in advance And, I can decide if I need the reminder to be a text or email. And I can add more reminders if I need them. AMAZING! Microsoft- wake up! Critical feature for all of us living in the age of brain overload.

I use TinyCalendarPro more often than I use the phone in my iPhone, and it syncs almost seamlessly with a very inferior apple calendar app, and through this then syncs with my mac’s calendar. I rarely have to refresh to update. The formats options, to me, is the best part of TinyCalendarPro . The month view allows me see an entire month with enough information to tell what is happening each day without having to open each day up. This is sold as a google calendar, but I do not use google for a calendar and it still functions just fine.

With the recent update of being able to ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ an appointment, the Tiny Calendar app is now PERFECT! I had suggested this a while back and the programmers must have taken me seriously—Thank you. Our family uses TinyCalendarPro across all our devices, along with Google calendar and it all works seamlessly. (BTW, I stumbled across the copy/paste function by accident when I held down my finger too long on an appointment. Boy was I happily surprised! It makes ‘repeating’ appointments so-o-o much faster to create.) Tiny Calendar has always been a super app, but now it’s simply the BEST by far!!

by Alanjacks

I wish this calendar was perfect but if you organize many events that span days then the view of your events is mostly filled with the the clickable word (more). This is far from ideal for providing an overview of your week.

It would also be helpful to export a years worth of my events for analysis in a spreadsheet. I saw a monthly export but couldn’t get that to work.

Otherwise this calendar app exceeds my expectations in nearly every other aspect. Many family members use it to organize multiple shared calendars and we no longer know how we managed without it.

synchs nicely to google calendar, from both my iphone and ipad. easy to enter the appointments. slightly annoying to start - it synchs at the start, and you cannot do anything during this time. Also, as others mentioned, when it synchs multiple calendars, you may end up with same appointment repeated several times, which is annoying. however, at this time it seems to be the best calendar to synch with google calendar and keep track of your appointments on multiple devices. I would have given 4.5 stars, but since that is not an option, ended up with 5...

iOS 14.4.2, iPhone12 Pro - I was not looking for a calendar app but I came across TinyCalendarPro and decided to give it a try. TinyCalendarPro is great, much better than any other calendar app I have tried. I like the fact that I can use different views to view my calendar activity. For the most part there are enough customization options to get the look I desire. My only suggestion would be to add an option to change the grid color on the monthly view as I would like more contrast between the grid and the black background. My thanks to the developer for a simple to use app that works well. Job well done!
