CalendarWiz Reviews

Pros

Our church has been using it since 2009 and we've never run into any issues. Every feature feels easy to use or to format based on what our church needs. Support hasn't been something we usually need but when we do reach out, we get a quick response along with helpful suggestions for our church website. The ability to advertise events without hassle has been a huge plus. It's also great that we can clearly distinguish between general bookings, meeting bookings and staff bookings. Overall, it's been a solid product for us.

Cons

No negative feedback from our side about the product.

Pros

It's been really user-friendly and scheduling is easy. Importing data is also simple so getting everything set up doesn't take long.

Cons

One improvement would be in the search/date filtering.. showing dates starting from the 1st of the month through the last day of the same month would be more helpful. Also, it'd be great to be able to invite any person or email address, not only users who already have calendar access.

Pros

Quick to get going and setup was painless enough that I managed to plan my entire year in just a week. There's also room to tweak things later as my schedule changes which I really appreciate. Overall, I genuinely love using this software.

Cons

Any hiccups I ran into at the start were mostly on my end and their support team sorted them out quickly. I'd used it a couple of years ago before the pandemic, then stepped away for a while because my needs weren't the same. They kept everything up and running for me and once I came back, I was able to pick up right where I left off with their assistance.

Pros

This product feels really user-friendly and updating it is just as easy. I especially like being able to duplicate events that repeat every year, keeping the calendar current is so easy. Being able to change the color of the event titles is a nice touch too. Also, it's great that there's an option for a private staff-only calendar which makes planning work schedules much easier.

Cons

Adding images to the event description could be a bit more organized. Right now it takes quite a few steps to upload an image.

Pros

It's really easy to use and it's great that you can embed the calendar directly on your website. It also works well for other people to access it to submit events which makes the whole process more collaborative and less work for me.

Cons

If someone who isn't an authorized user suggests an event, their submission options are limited. They can't upload pictures or choose a date range so they end up submitting each day separately. Then I have to manually add the photos afterward once they email them and everything is saved which definitely adds a few extra steps to the workflow.

Pros

Our team started using it recently and it's made sharing schedules a lot smoother than before. The room booking feature is especially useful and has really improved how we coordinate day-to-day.

Cons

Getting started took a bit of time since I was used to Outlook but after I adjusted, it ended up fitting my needs much better.

Pros

There are a ton of features and functionality packed into this app and it genuinely covers a lot of needs. Everything feels like it's been thought through so it's been really useful day to day.

Cons

Nothing stands out that I'd want to change right now, everything has been working well for me.

Pros

The functionality is solid and the customer support has been genuinely helpful.

Cons

We ran into trouble getting it to load on our webpage but that turned out to be an issue with our web provider rather than this tool so no cons..

Pros

CalendarWiz has covered everything I needed. I'm especially glad I can share my calendars across both desktop and mobile anytime. The pricing options are also really flexible which makes planning easier without feeling locked in. Feature-wise, it checks all the boxes for me.. public and private calendars, a double-booking prevention setup and RSVP invites, among other helpful tools.

Cons

Honestly there isn't anything I dislike about it. It feels polished and useful and I'd genuinely recommend giving it a shot, there's really nothing to lose and I think most people would be happy once they try it.

Pros

This software feels super user-friendly and the design looks great, everything is clear and simple to read. There are also tons of options we haven't even started digging into yet. The mobile calendar is phenomenal and really easy to use. I especially love the option to download an event from the calendar and add it to my own personal calendar.

Cons

The only real downside I've noticed so far is with importing recurring events, the recurring setting doesn't come through during import. If I enter the same thing as a brand-new event using recurring meetings, it does populate correctly as recurring so it's more of an import-specific quirk than a general problem.

Pros

I really enjoy using this program to share calendar details with my parents through my classroom. It's easy to operate and it lets them leave notes and add items as needed which has made communication feel a lot more connected.

Cons

It seems pretty simple to get the hang of and I keep hearing positive feedback from parents as well.

Pros

Calendar entries are easy to create organize and view. Being able to have multiple agencies view and share the same calendars has been genuinely valuable.

Cons

At the beginning, there was a cap on recurring events lasting only 31 days. Support worked with the developers and got that limit raised to 100 days pretty quickly. Also, the entry settings (like text type and size) come with defaults, would be nice to customize those settings per profile.

Pros

This tool feels easy and quick to work with. I managed to upload a .csv file containing all our existing calendar items (over 700) within minutes. Even better, we onboarded multiple units and departments in about 30 minutes on how to use it. The smartphone access to the calendar is also a big plus, it makes it simple for people to stay on top of events wherever they are.

Cons

A couple of things could be improved. First, as an administrator, I'd like a category-based view that shows all users grouped by each category. Second, the "Delete Import Data" button is basically a "death button." It's admin-only but it would be much safer to have an option to remove only the most recent import-potentially limited to specific categories, rather than wiping everything. Some units have around 80 events per year and it'd be helpful if they could re-upload and delete only the latest upload for their own category data instead of affecting the entire dataset.

Pros

Workflow is really easy and it keeps our crews organized without any extra effort on our side. Setup and day-to-day use are painless and it fits our team's needs well.

Cons

Honestly there's nothing negative to report, everything feels user-friendly and it's working smoothly for our company. No complaints at all.

Pros

Flexibility here is a big win for me, I can design the calendar display to fit what I need, like showing only one type of event. I also like that it supports embedding customized calendars on websites in different ways. Also, the ability to create, update and manage a list of event locations has saved a lot of time for my organization.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind as a real downside. Over the 8 years we've used it, it's kept getting better, with bugs addressed and new features added along the way.

Pros

Setup and day-to-day management have been easy. Members can locate details about our rides fast which keeps things running smoothly. The Map and Weather links are a perfect fit for a cycling community. The "Suggest Event" option has been exactly what our group leaders wanted, it makes it simple to add new rides to the calendar without a bunch of back-and-forth. Creating "Locations" also saves a lot of time since I can add new rides without re-entering the same information over and over.

Cons

Only minor wish, I'd like the "Suggest Event" link to be renamed to something like "Add Ride to Calendar."

Pros

Customer service has been really good, messages get answered quickly and they actually follow through on requests. Communication feels fast and reliable which makes everything less stressful.

Cons

There's a snag with calendar invites, when I send one to Sharon and later need to switch her name to Carrie (including the email address), the resent invitation still shows the first name from the original send. Support told me I must have sent the wrong email address because the name didn't update the way I expected.

Pros

It's very easy to use and hits exactly what our organization needed. The private categories feature has been a big win for us some departments need things kept separate and this supports that well. Also, the app is highly customizable so we were able to design it to how we actually work.

Cons

It would be even better if we could see multiple months in one view.

Pros

The software is really customizable and it integrates smoothly into our website. Room and event scheduling is easy and it comes with plenty of useful features. Customer support has been excellent whenever we've needed help.

Cons

One limitation, you can't add multiple entries for the same event title on the same day unless you start a brand-new event entry. It hasn't been a deal breaker for us but it's worth knowing ahead of time.

Pros

It's awesome having every employee's travel in one place, updated in real time. The platform is easy to use and I also really appreciate the customer support, they consistently get back to me quickly.

Cons

Because it isn't built as a dedicated travel calendar, a few fields and labels don't quite match how we use it. For example, "Title of Event" ends up being used as an individual person's name on our side so I had to explain to your team exactly what to enter in certain text boxes.
