It would be nice to be able to view the calendar function on the mobile app.

Hello, have there been any updates regarding the addition of the calendar view in the iOS app? Our team is deciding whether to use Wrike as opposed to other similar tools and the fact that the calendar is not available on the mobile app - most of us have an iPhone - may steer our decision towards a different tool. I would be grateful to receive any feedback since we do really enjoy the website version of Wrike. Thank you!

Hi, I'm also wondering about this functionality as many of our key users will be needing the calendar to get an overview of multiple projects on their mobile device. I saw a post that this was to be rolled out end of 2021, but don't see it yet.

Calendar? Can you give us an ETA on this. We just signed a contract but are rethinking it due to this feature missing.

Hi everyone! I've checked with the team as this idea here reached the 60 upvotes threshold. Calendar View is available for our Android app, and the team is researching the potential of adding it to our iOS app as well. We will keep you posted on how it goes 👍

The lack of calendar view in the mobile app is a huge drawback and hindrance to our workflow. Using the calendar to schedule our staff in the field is smooth, however the fact they they are unable to view the calendar on their phones is a problem.

It's very disappointing that this feature still doesn't exist. We were told 2 years ago that the team ran into "technical blockers" in trying to provide this on iOS. After that we are told there is no update and it's not on the radar. Then last year we are told in this thread that "the team is researching the potential of adding it to our iOS app as well". 7 months later we still have no progress.

So what's the true status? Is it being developed or not? If no, then why not?

Are they working through the "technical blockers" or does "researching" mean they are just talking about it and not really doing anything?

I know I am sinical, but history has shown that Wrike kicks the can down the street forever with these kinds of responses and rarely do we see these requests addressed. Often, it's just passive excuses one after the other. We just want the truth. Why is this requested feature only available on Android and what is being done to have it on iOS. It's not the only mobile app that uses calendars, so I don't understand what the blocker is.

Hi folks! I've checked with the team to check the current status of this suggestion - they have researched it, and for now, it didn't get to planning due to conflicting priorities. We understand your feedback here, and our Product team is aware of the demand for calendars on iOS apps. We'll continue passing on your feedback here, and we'll make sure to let you know if there are any changes.

This issue is 5 years old!

How long is something not a priority? I know many people have requested calendars on iOS. Sorry Apple fans, I guess you're never going to get it. Luckily, I am on Android so I have calendars!

We understand your sentiment here, folks, but as we mentioned previously, our team can't commit to working on all suggestions posted here in the Community, even those ones that were posted a while back. We will continue passing on your feedback though, and we'll let you know if there are any changes in the future.

Lisa Thank you for your understanding. However, this exemplifies our point. The calendar issue on iOS goes back five years as an issue that impacts all Apple mobile users. In the meantime, many hours and resources have been spent to work on "new" table views and board views with arguably little value.  The new table view does not offer much value or functionality over the classic table view other than visual. Yet requests like the lack of calendars on iOS goes on for years with no progress.

From what I've seen and heard on these forums, the biggest complaint is that Wrike spends too much time on nonessential development such as new icons and new layouts and no effort goes into core lacking functionality. We have asked for years for things like the calendars on iOS, for improved Gantt reporting, for better relationship between planned effort and actual remaining effort, for ties between work schedules and Wrike data (PTO having to be managed in both places separately), and other functionality that is just plain missing. 

We are constantly told that these items are not a priority, not on the road map, backburnered, and every other way of saying that Wrike isn't going to work on it, while at the same time we spend months developing and reviewing and providing feedback on new visual enhancements and new layouts that really don't bring much of any real functional value to the product.

There has been much expression from the community that Wrike does not have their priorities right. And examples like this calendar issue just support this sentiment.
