Newton Calendar

Great app. Sometimes has problems syncing multiple calendars (especially more so when a meeting has been canceled). But really needs an Apple Watch complication!

Broken app, developers MIA

I use Fantastical/Flexbits but I wanted to take a look at Newton Calendar to try and consolidate my spending each year. I use iCloud for my calendar and it isn’t supported. Says in the FAQ “coming soon” but that could mean anything. 1 star for being available on Apple and not accepting/utilizing iCloud Calendar. App looks nice and I’m sure it functions ok but I can’t use it.

Terrible now. App hasn’t updated in a year. Won’t refresh. Stay away

I see an endless loop of warming up

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ UX This app is beautiful and easy to use. The UX is mostly great. Adding events is easy with some nice AI to interpret dates and time to speed up the process. ⭐️⭐️ for bugs There are several bugs that have persisted for months on end. Syncing problems: Syncing requires opening the app. I get notifications for events that no longer exist and haven’t for days or weeks. Sometimes canceled or deleted events don’t go away at all. Setting a location is a feature but somehow has never worked. It will show locations that were added outside of this app, though. Missing common features: - Cannot move events between calendars - Years later, still cannot sync iCloud account Don’t get me wrong. I have mad respect for the Newton team. I realize Newton has been though rough a rollercoaster ride over the years, shutting down, coming back, and then all over again. I get that the mail app is the core product that should regained lost ground first. But the state this app is in has made it almost unusable compared to the standard iCal app. It’s been almost a year without any updates. The syncing issues are the dealbreaker for me. If I can’t reliably see what’s in my calendar, even after manually syncing from opening the app (as opposed to watching notifications), then I can’t really rely on it to tell me what my day holds. So until this gets revamped, I’m moving back to iCal.

I never made it past that loading screen. I waited and waited and waited and waited but it never opened.

I’m not sure if I should uninstall this app

Purchased a recurring subscription on sale, advertised as being for-life. Newton then decided to "shut-down" for a month and then relaunch and not honor that deal because it had "shut-down". Highly deceptive and unethical business practice that shows they don't care at all about their early loyal users or to adhere to offers they've made.

This calendar and the mail app seem fine but they lack an Apple Watch app. I don’t know why I would continue using this without being able to check what my next meeting is on my watch.
