CalenGoo Calendar Reviews

by I Heart Ryan Adams

Everything Google calendar can do plus even more customization. Very easy to use. Syncs flawlessly.

The only improvement I would ask for is that the screen/date range that is being viewed would stay where it is when I leave CalenGooCalendar and come back. If I am flipping back and forth between email or a medical app to schedule an appointment, when returning to Calengoo the view "resets" to the current week and I have to flip ahead again to where I was. The "Today" button makes it easy enough to do this on purpose when I wish to do so, the rest of the time I wish it would stay put.

It is so disappointing that when search “calendar “ in CalenGooCalendar Store CalenGoo never comes up, even if you search Google Calendar. I love all the options and the ability to link locations and contacts to events. I like all the views and find myself using”Floating Events” with task you can check off like a shopping list. There is a bit of a learning curve just because there are so many options and customization. Also I use Google and Apple calendars and it works great. I hope the developer continues to support and develop CalenGooCalendar .

I've tried nearly every Calendar there is. CalenGoo is at the top of my list:

- extremely helpful and attentive developer

- excellent calendar views

- many powerful features, e.g. the ability to create a custom time tracking / billing / mileage log by utilizing Custom Fields

- the task integration keeps getting better with every release, e.g. you can now implement a "today" function by using the option to show the task with Priority 1 on today in all calendar views (similar to "Star" function in Toodledo and some other apps)

I was a longtime Informant user but had a love / hate relationship with it, mainly because of somewhat clunky interface. CalenGoo is a joy to use.

Added: someone said in their review how impressed they are by CalenGooCalendar development team. You should really be impressed because there's no team, it's just one extremely good and responsive developer.

I’ve used CalenGoo for several years because I love it. A few days ago, for reasons I do not know but will blame on my husband, everything went crazy. We have 5 devices plus a computer. These have always synced. One day they didn’t know each other existed plus other abnormalities. I spent 2 days trying to fix it but only made matters worse. Out of desperation, I contacted Dominique. He was responsive, gave me fantastic advice over several emails. He told me exactly what needed to be done. Our lives are on CalenGoo so my gratefulness to him is deep. Thank you, Dominque.

Use CalenGooCalendar if you want events to stay visible on your Apple Watch until they are done, because the developer kindly gives you control over this function (i.e., in settings you can choose for how long you want the current event to be shown & if not specified then it will remain until it is over). In contrast, the friggin’ stock Apple Watch calendar application was changed from showing events until completed, to instead showing the next event in your calendar about 10 minutes into the current one. Hey Apple, how the bleep am I supposed to know how much time I have left in my current appointment? Many thanks to the excellent developer Dominique for allowing the user to tweak CalenGooCalendar to meet their needs!

I have tried literally dozens of different calendar apps always searching for one that combines ease of use, a comfortable display and customization. I always return to CalenGoo...
Recently I had occasion to be glad of my choice...
I started experiencing a problem where my data was being replicated wildly all over my calendar. I contacted the developer suspecting that perhaps something in the new version of CalenGooCalendar was the source of my problem. The developer replied very shortly and over several weeks was instrumental in helping me find the real source of the issue which BTW did not have anything to do with his app.
Highly recommend you install CalenGooCalendar if you use Google Calendar you will not be disappointed.

Can I give CalenGoo 10stars??

I’ve been using CalenGooCalendar for years and neglected to review it. Going into settings reveals so much functionality that I’d never use, but also things that would keep a power user happy for years. It is also as simple as you want it to be. Pairs seamlessly with my Google calendar, so whether I’m home or away I can keep up to date. It has time zone support, customizable alerts, multiple color coded calendars, repeat entries, views for day, week, and year, and links to map apps to show directions and travel time for events.

The developer is terrific with response to questions. He replies within hours if not sooner and gives detailed directions to solve issues.

Support staff is responsive and awesome. Each calendar and activity is just the unique color I want. Any time I have something I don't like, it's user error and they are happy to help me.

I love that I have form and beauty here. Some apps take away the words on the monthly calendar and replace with colorful bars... Or some other useless thing. With this one, I can go to month view and still see all my events. It looks good and works great!

It syncs perfectly. It works great with google (including matching to my 8 calendar colors) and does all that google tasks can do (and a little more, like put all overdue tasks on today, and view multiple task folders). The new floating task feature has changed the way I do my GTD system and I can check off when I have completed events.

CalenGooCalendar has been my calendar app of choice for 5 years.... By far CalenGooCalendar that has lived longest on my phone. (I shop and upgrade a lot.) It is interesting how CalenGooCalendar used to be one of a kind, and now there are a few copycats, but this one still seems to have the most features that are integrated the best.

Best part: I'm always finding new fun features to get more out of it! I regularly check out the expert options and always find new things to get out of the calendar.

Highly recommend it!

I’ve used CalenGoo for years with no problems. Love the flexibility and configuration possibilities, but defaults also work great right out of the box. When I had a special request for an appearamce change and wrote to Dominique the developer, he not only replied right away, but made a new beta version within 24 hours that addressed my request! I was floored, and very appreciative. In a prefect world, all designers and companies would have customer service like CalenGoo. BTW I’m a genuine, first-time reviewer, just sharing my enthusiasm for a really superb calendar app.

Since the day of inception, this was the first calendar app that provided what I needed most, zoom in feature on month view and to see EVERYTHING on my month view. I don’t even remember how long I’ve had CalenGooCalendar for. It completely changed the way I organized my day and my productivity level improved immensely. My calendar changed on the fly and it’s amazing to have a digital calendar that is better than a paper calendar everywhere I go.

The colors are great. I get to sync all my other Google calendars and hide what I need to hide. It syncs with Google Contacts birthdays and holidays. Very easy to use.

Over time, the features keep getting better and I didn't even realize how much I needed this new features such as a way to customize my icon badge #. Super impressed.

Our family has been using this calendar app for at least 10 years! It is so awesome and syncs with our Google and Apple calendars. I love the customization and how we can all pick how we see things. We’ve gotten our kids so used to CalenGooCalendar that now as adults they use it for their school and work calendars and it really helps keep us all on the same page. We all have (or had) calendars for work, volunteer commitments, meetings, appointments, scouts, sports, social activities, and even healthcare for my elderly parents. The reminders are great and not obnoxious. Thank you so much for continuing CalenGooCalendar and for making something that makes my life so much easier!

I love CalenGooCalendar. I have used it for years. One of the best features is being able to print your calendar or your task list from your phone with a wireless printer. Now that Wunderlist is gone and you have to move over to Microsoft To Do you will quickly see there is no way to print your lists. This is a dealbreaker for me. You can’t print your task list straight from google tasks on your desktop either. But with CalenGooCalendar you can. So fabulous! Thank you!!

by Dale As

I really wanted a calendar that would make appointment alarms repeat until I acknowledged them, to keep me from missing meetings. There are like two calendar apps that have this feature. This is the better of the two! Hey authors, you should put the keywords repeating/nagging/persistent appointment reminders in your description!

CalenGooCalendar seems really great. If you can’t look past an unconventional look and feel, and maybe a couple rough edges in the UI, then you should look elsewhere. But if that’s not a problem, what you’ll get here is the most powerful, featureful calendar app available. And it’s been around for many years, apparently, so you can have some confidence that it won’t disappear overnight. Really happy with this product!

Seldom have I used an app as good as CalenGoo. I've been using it for years on my iPhones and iPads. It is the Swiss army knife of calendars. It is simple to use, yet highly complex and functional. Not only is it the finest calendar app available, the tech support is unprecedented. I recently had an issue with syncing it on my iPhone and had to contact its developer. To my surprise, Dominique was so responsive and helpful, it felt like we were in the same room. It took several steps to finally fix the problem but the support was done with patience, consideration, and the kind of help beyond traditional tech support. You want to download CalenGooCalendar not only because of it's superb features but also knowing you will have professional help if needed. Dominique will treat you like your best friend.

This is the best monthly app out there. Period.I used to use MOCA, but when I got the iphone X, the time font display was too tiny to read, so I searched high and low for something to replace it. Wow, and wow--this had endless fancy and basic options, almost overwhelming in choices, kinda like the cereal aisle--lol :-) If you're looking for a calendar where you can see your entire month at a glance, this is it. Btw, I typically schedule approx. 6 events in a day. If you have a lot more, you'll still be able to see CalenGooCalendar, but see fewer weeks together, and if you have less events, you'll see more weeks. If you're on the fence about this one, the $6.99 is worth every cent. Go for it :-)

Has been the most useful app on my iPhone for years. Ability to display month at a time view on iPhone with individual events listed on each day makes this far superior to native iPhone calendar —which only highlights date if an event exists on that date. Some issues with install of iOS13 today. Support responded literally within minutes with a fix. Wish all software ran like this! Definitely 5 stars. Would give it 6 if I could.

by Ocdknitter

This is just what google needed, it syncs with all of my events instantly. Best calendar I’ve used on any iOS device I have. The iPhone calendar is fair, but I like the repeated alerts feature, and that I can customize CalenGoo how I want. There are far more features in this calendar. You can add photos, documents, alert your contacts or add them to the event. The list goes on, or just have a basic calendar if that’s what you prefer. From simple to detailed. ‘‘Tis calendar does it all. The best selling feature, awesome customer service. Dominique is quick to respond and address the issue. I’m extremely happy with CalenGooCalendar!

I was actually willing to pay for CalenGooCalendar only for the excellent Google Tasks interface. I’m finding the whole setup/options for the calendar itself to be confusing and even though the calendar works, the daily view isn’t very nice looking. However I love the week view - it’s more like an old-fashioned written planner. And above all I love the Tasks sync. I went through a variety of free apps for managing Google Tasks (since Google is being truly stupid in not creating good iPad apps) but they all sucked. This one is perfect and does exactly what I need it to do. So in summary, in spite of confusing settings/options for the calendar, I give CalenGooCalendar 5 stars because it’s customizable, syncs great, and above all lets me use Google Tasks (especially in a multitasking view, which is the most productive use for me).

This was one of my first app purchases when I bought my first iPhone (iPhone 4 when it was first introduced) because the Apple iOS calendar app was/is worthless, and at the time Google wasn’t offering their own standalone app for their calendar.

I have used Google calendar for more years than I’ve had a smart phone, so it was important to have a calendar on my smart devices that interfaces with that. CalenGoo does that and so much more. It is feature rich and can be used as basically or as advanced as you want. You have so much control over what your content does. In other words, it works the way the user wants it to work.

As other apps have updated/upgraded (Apple, Google) I’ve given them a try but so far, no one is doing as good a job as CalenGooCalendar is doing. The developer does an excellent job keeping CalenGooCalendar updated and current with each OS. It works seamlessly with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

It is money well spent. Regret free!

This is a very long-overdue review.
I started using CalenGoo in Jan 2011. I knew right away that this was an app I was going to stick with. What a great app! It’s no exaggeration to say that I literally run my whole life off of CalenGoo. And to say that CalenGoo is highly customizable is the understatement of the year. It may take you a while to become familiar with all the customization parameters, but you will be able to mold CalenGoo to your liking, I promise you.
I am not affiliated with the author of the software in any way. I just want you to be able to benefit from this great product like I have all these years!

by Mfletche

I use CalenGooCalendar everyday (almost every hour). It helps my wife and I coordinate our busy schedule on our iPhones, iPod touch and iPad. This interface is more true to the computer google calendar experience than any other calendar system in CalenGooCalendar store (including googles own option). I was skeptical of the price, but found it to be well worth it. I have no ties to this company but am thrilled with the product.

by ChicagoMusicGuy

I have been using CalenGoo for years. I've tried so many other apps - and many work and look great. But with CalenGoo I can customize and tweak everything! *Everything*.... Which does give it a learning curve but having these options allows me to fit it perfectly into my workflow. One of my favorite features is the floating calendar events - so useful!
