"The only thing that made me give it a 4 star rating was the many, many settings, 90% of which were completely unfamiliar to me, and not really explained. Update: 4/23/15 I still use this as my primary calendar, on my Android tablet and phone (paid for another version, too) and all my Kindles. A google search of the problem, like questions on floating dates, turns up the CalenGoo pages so all is not lost."
"You can change just about everything, it feels like, about the display, from the colors to the font and font size to how much of your calendar event details are displayed on quick views, and all kinds of good stuff. As far as differences between this and the iOS version, they're pretty similar, and the Android version benefits from Android's settings menu structure. Also, the tabs for switching between views are much better in android, as is the full-month sized calendar picker."
"This is my stand-alone everything app.... multiple calenders, reminders, lists, alarms all in one gorgeous, adaptable, do-whatever-you-want-with-it app!!! It can do all forms of the reminders at once (I don't have to choose between the options), with repeat and snooze options, and have as many reminders as I want it to send me."
"You can create: repeating entries with multiple reminders (using e-mail, pop ups, & SMS), multiple calendars for different types of events, designating each calendar a different color of text, and add icons to each entry. This is very helpful when you glance at your main calendar & can tell by the color of the text or the icon, you have "that" to do this week."

You can use our own Business Calendar reminders or the reminders of the stock calendar application to get alarm messages for your events!
Reviews
"If I use the weekly or monthly view and I go into the future and then want to look at the Agenda view for the same time, it takes me back to Today. If you're in the "Agenda" view and you scroll forward in time and then change to any other view, the calendar will always take you back to "Today" rather than wherever you left off scrolling. And if you're in the month, week or day views and you scroll forward and then go to the Agenda view, it still takes you back to "Today"."
"They're the last place I want to have to be putting people on hold while I try to figure out how to log back into Amazon."
"You also can view sports team calendars etc."
"Bought this app 8 months ago, works great until they disable my app until I make another payment of 4.99 USD.."
"This is not a one time login to activate... You must be continuously logged into the Amazon app store for it to function at all."
"Paid for the app.. Now it's disabled."
"This used to be my go to calendar but for several month nows I have get an internal error about no internet connection and then it crashes."
"Get internal error every time it opens now."

"This app gave me what I wanted, an easy to use calendar with a few extra bells and whistles and no learning curve. By entering their birth year I can see how old my family and friends are each birthday or if it's my Mom and Dad's 59th Wedding Anniversary or 60th."
"[x] I am especially a big fan of their week view, which shows the whole month dates in one of the boxes. [x] I also like their calendar widget which has a lot of customization options and can be made semi-transparent (which looks cool)."
"This works on my phone too, unlike other popular calendars which do not support a month view on screens smaller than tablets. My only complaint is that there is no icon to quickly open the agenda view from the month/week/day views on my phone in portrait mode, which is how I primarily hold my phone."
"Also with Google calendar it is not possible to view entries for the whole day without scrolling, and the week view is more difficult to read than with aCalendar."
"They all have worked in syncing with my phone, kindle and google calendars on. my computer."
"I almost left aCalendar though because of the week view, but when i do i find i'm still looking for one with a good luck with smart interface."
"I monitor four different calendars several times a day and this calendar let's me see everything in one place, color-coded the way I like it."
"Works pretty seamlessly with Google Calendar, everything entered shows up immediately and accurate."

Reviews
"By far the best calculator app I have tried."
"I like this calc app because it's easy to use for basic math, has the capability to do more types of math functions, and the screen is very clear and easy to see."
"You might ask why someone develops a simple calculator app for the Kindle Fire. I have reviewed and looked at many calculator apps for the Kindle Fire and this is by far the best of what I have seen so far. * It uses the full screen size of the Kindle Fire to give you a nice sized calculator view. * The numbers in the result display are large and easy to read."
"Its history function is invaluable when entering a string of numbers or a running total if you make an error or forget an item you can easily look back and see what you did and correct it instead of having to start from scratch."
"I believe the Free version was trying to serve ads, which the paid version does not."
"Its history function is invaluable when entering a string of numbers or a running total if you make an error or forget an item you can easily look back and see what you did and correct it instead of having to start from scratch."
"Since it is housed in a case that requires me to close the lid and reopen it to wake my Kindle Fire in the Lock Screen, a feature that doesn't always work, I'm further inclined not to use this app because that's annoying. in time, as I get more experience with my Kindle, I'll be able to correct this by altering the Sleep Time Out feature or upgrading my Kindle cover."

"Thumb Keyboard doesn't have a "swype" mode, but that never works well with word predictions and swyping on a tablet-sized screen is kind of cumbersome anyway."
"I have a rooted Nook Color and when I go to landscape, I have all of the letters plus a numeric keypad nicely spaced and somehow, even when I whack at the keyboard with my two index fingers, I get surprisingly few typos vs. the stock Android keyboard."
"The one feature that keeps me using it, three years now, is the programmable macro keys. Not sure if it's Amazon's app store SDK/app requirements or what, but damn if this app doesn't phone home constantly. There have been several updates in the Play store and this is the first one on Amazon in something like a year. However, one may not assign an alternative secondary key to these phantom keys. And then sometimes the ghost of swype sets both keys, "g" for instance, to the same 2nd key, thereby disabling use of the original secondary. Let me pick 2nd keys for alt split keys. Nothing is expected and no tarnish of your excellent product will be pontificated if these simple (single sprint even) demands are not met by the time we evolve into energy beings."
"I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and I haven't had much success finding a keyboard that gives me great customization, compatible with a tablet and also with the 7 inch screen."
"The options are "right" or "left". I see no layout options to simply remove double space bars or have both have the function."
"and it would do this odd thing if I tried to delete a bunch of characters one after the other.. it would then bring up the delete a comment menu. Which I would try to delete quickly only to find myself in the delete a comment menu."

Reviews
"There is a mandatory 130MB image file that must be downloaded to use this app. The images are drawn well but don't make sense when combined with the HUGE file size because they aren't high resolution pics - I hope the dev optimizes the pics to bring the size down to the 20MB range."
"I expected an "interpreter" program would let me type in a phrase in English and then translate it into the other language or let me type in a phrase in a foreign language and then translate it to English for me. However, if I was traveling in a foreign country, it would be difficult to find everything I'd want to say very quickly unless I was VERY familiar with the locations of every phrase in the program. This seems more geared to someone studying a foreign language."
"I used this when I travelled to Budapest, Vienna, Prague, London and Krakow in five weeks summer of 2014."
"however I was dismayed to see the huge extra download after the initial install."

You can also import contacts from an Excel file that has been exported from Outlook to your phone. Export an Excel file with all photos included - this makes the contacts in your spreadsheet look better.
Reviews
"Although that one is published by samapp, and this one by Sam Yu, I had bought the Play Store version only last month (so now I have two ContactsExcel apps on my phone), and I can tell you they are the same developer. The Play Store version lets you upload to Dropbox or Google Drive *and* has a schedule feature which would perform exports automatically (incl. Therefore, I would recommend you download this (yes, it's safe & works fine without internet) while it's free for a rainy day, but if you were to see this review when it's a paid app, then please make sure it has the same version as that in the Play Store in order not to waste your money."
"Oh yeah, so simple, so perfect. There are various formats with slightly different field ordering and field names so you can then move it to Outhouse or fuGoogle if that is your bent."
"By exporting them into excel, I was able to delete duplicates and clean the listing in short order, and then easily imported them back into my phone after using this program to also wipe my previous contact listing."
"Not sure if the import is meant to overwrite the file on the device, but I had to go back & manually make the corrections that didn't translate."
"This program works well at exporting/importing contacts to/from your phone."
"There are at least 2 great uses for it: instead of adding contacts on the tiny screen of a smartphone, one can add contact information to an excel spreadsheet on a PC, then update the smartphone."
"Maybe you shol shorten the requirements & you would get decent reviews....................................mmmm. mm.........mmmmmmmm.m........"

"The clock face styles are nice--I especially like the look of the face with the time in words that "light" up--but I just about never use my Kindle Fire as merely a clock appliance standing on my table."
"I don't ever see an ad, and I never had to give any permissions for anything..don't know what version that complainer was talking about but the one I d/l last week does everything it advertised."
"This app works great, i love the fact that it allows you to set more than two alarms."

"I had been using team viewer for a long time and dragging the mouse arround just took to much time, same for Microsoft remote desktop. And for those windows pop ups, it's much easier to close them as the screen acts as a touch screen rather than a drag screen so you don't have to drag the mouse with multiple taps anymore."
"It also works well as a remote control for playing music at a party!"
"The security cameras app for the smartphone only allows grainy and jerky video streaming and now I can use the higher quality software that is on my PC."
"Quite honestly, I find TeamViewer easier and far more reliable to use."
"If this app was supposed to retain phone speeds without encryption, a dangerous prospect, I'd hate to see what encrypted apps do. After uninstalling the app from my cell phone, and not being able to get a refund, I decided to give the app a chance on my Kindle Fire since the companion Splashtop streamer was still installed on my computer. As usual, the download process from Amazon to my Kindle was easy and the app then found my computer automatically and right away."
