eCalendar Reviews

A few months ago, an update was installed and the next day, the device didn’t wake from its sleep. I’ve unplugged the device, reset the device and tried other plugs; it failed to resolve the issue. I contacted customer support and provided all that was asked, but they never responded after that. At the time of this post, the device has not been working and I don’t have the desire to continue to try and resolve it. The lack of communications is undesirable. On a good note, it works as a calendar. On a bad note, it has trouble with recurring events that have no end dates.

After 8 months my calendar has stopped working. I have to unplug it and plug it back in, then it will turn on and go to the calendar, within a few hours it goes to a welcome screen and stays there until I unplug it again. Sometimes it just goes to a black screen and the only way to get it to work again is by unplugging it. I’m very disappointed, I paid a good amount of money for this calendar. I have reached out to customer service several times and am just talking to a robot who says they will escalate my case and contact me, I’ve never heard from them and can’t find a phone number or other customer support option.

It has settings don’t actually work. Example: When you select the day you would like your weekly calendar to start on (custom or current day) it still only starts on Monday. So when on the weekly view, if it is Sunday I can see the previous week but nothing that it coming up.
All events from Gmail show up in same color, have to recreate events to assign them to a different color/person (important for managing schedules of 5 people).
When creating events often receive an error about the ending time being before the start time, must use the feature to type it in and use a 24 hour clock to work around.
Chores feature is difficult to use.
Overall more work than it should be and definitely not something I would recommend.
Would return entire calendar but it was a gift so it will have to do.

My wife purchased the skylight tablet for our kitchen. We are hoping to make the kids more responsible and reward them for doing chores above & beyond. eCalendar is compatible with the device but the rewards system is awful. At first I couldn’t figure it out but this works in reverse. I have to give a bunch of stars to my kids and then when they do a chore and redeem it, it subtract it from the star count- what??? I should be able to give me kids stars for tasks, this method makes no sense and we gave up on it after a few weeks. In addition when completing a task it adds it right back on. Yes we want it on but for the next day, once you redeem a chore it should not repopulate until next day. Very messy, support seems lacking. Also, eCalendar stopped syncing with my personal calendar, the only way it adds events now is if I delete the calendar and manually add it back.

Unfortunately I was trying to synch my Icloud calendar but it wasn’t working properly so I synced the google calendar. Because I couldn’t remove the previous Icloud calendar I tried deleting my account to make a new one but now eCalendar won’t let me create a new account, I even tried downloading eCalendar on my ipad to try to create an account and manage there but it still won’t let me create an account so now i’m stuck with a 100$ calendar that doesn’t work :(

My two complaints are:
1. Once you sync an external calendar, it doesn’t refresh if you make a change or update from the calendar (I’m using Google calendar). It is far too time consuming to be constantly un-syncing and re-syncing the calendar to reflect some minor change. I have seen other reviewers noticing this same issue.
2. I wish we had the ability to change the display/font size of our events on the calendar itself, so if we have many things we could select a smaller overall display size so more events would appear under that date without having to scroll to see the rest of the events.

I have noticed recently that the calendar has gotten slower and slower at processing actions. In particular, the tasks. It makes it very difficult to keep up. I have to click on a task as complete, leave and then come back to click the next one. With kids, this makes me not even want to use it.

I had a very hard time following the provided (outdated) instructions, so I emailed for support. I had to send them 2 emails, first one went without being answered. Eventually I was provided a mp4 video. Again it was outdated. My partner and I are in the IT career field, so we were able to figure it out, but we still struggled. Took us about 30 min, we are capable following instructions and figure some things out; others might not be so lucky. The video provided was super fast, allowing zero time between steps; I had to pause and rewind several times.
Please update instructions & videos.

I like the calendar in the fact that it's simple to use just calendar feature.

Few things I'd like to see in an update to better work for my needs.

- On the calendar it's self at the top when you switch through the months I'd like for it to show the month and year. Also another nice feature would be to automatically go back to "today's month" button instead of having to click all the way back. Same option for adding dates in eCalendar . I wish it was easier to see future dates you add to the calendar without having to scroll through each week it's very slow.

- It would be nice to have a holiday feature to where it automatically has the holidays without having to sync a holiday calendar. It would also be nice to be able to choose each holiday you want to show up.

With two households under one roof, this calendar has been a life saver! I especially love the new update with the “star” reward system. This has been a great motivator for the kids. My one complaint is that when using eCalendar on my iPad, it is impossible to use in landscape mode. As I use my iPad exclusively instead of a laptop, this is incredibly inconvenient for me. I wish that there was a more iPad friendly version of eCalendar .

I have loved both my calendar and eCalendar so far I am very impressed! The kids and I both are enjoying the chore chart (tasks) and the reward section that goes with it!! I wish we had the option to take away stars like we have the options to give/add stars.
I would also like to see the capability to take a picture or add a photo the the recipe section for meals though, that would be amazing!!

No problems setting up eCalendar and connecting it to the calendar. The subscription isn’t needed for it to function and it works fine. Only issue is some deleted repeating events not wanting to sync with the calendar. I like that eCalendar allows you to add emojis to the chore list that the calendar doesn’t offer as a keyboard. Scared me looking at the reviews after receiving the product but was happily surprised it’s not that bad.

Quite user friendly, connects easily to calendars. Overall I would say it’s pretty good. Could use some tweaks and maybe a few more options as far as organizing the order of multiple events in one day, more event color options, different fonts and font colors, background choices, etc.
I wouldn’t call it basic by any means, just needs more options.

I can’t be too picky as I returned another brand because I didn’t think I should be charged for features that should be intertwined aka chores and rewards. So far so good. I took off a star because there is so minor things that I think could improve. The rewards tab has an animation when you redeem your rewards…perfect! But why not have a similar animation for when task are complete? The rewards tab also gives you access to emojis but why not the tasks tab? For kids that are young or can’t read the emojis would be beneficial. Not sure how hard it is to update the tasks tab with those suggestion but if you can I believe this would by far supersede five stars! Please consider an update :)

My husband purchased this E calendar for me and I was having difficulty getting it to sync with my other calendar on my iPhone. I contacted customer service and was put on a chat with a representative named Fujia. They were fantastic in helping me solve my problem. Very slow and confused about how and what to do to sync with my iPhone. The representative was kind enough to show me a video on how to do it, but your video speaks way too fast for me to understand it. So Fujia typed out the instructions to me so I could follow them.

I meant to order the skylight. I thought I got such a good deal. After two hours of trying to setup skylight I realized I did not have that. This is a 27 inch for half the price. At first I was a little sad because there were no rewards for chores BUT they did an update a day later and it has everything the skylight had and more. And it’s so much cheaper. I love this thing. I love how easy to just add schedules and sync apps…I currently have Game changer, sports engine and team snap for five diff teams. I can edit it to just show one, to just show one persons. It also added in meals and recipes. I love this.

Not quite sure how I lived without it, but I absolutely love it. I’m able to stay with my family and know where we are at all times by being synced together. It could also be used as a wonderful 21 inch photo album. So many different things you could use it for.

We are really enjoying this, but I do wish that they would invest a little bit more on the application side… a great idea would be to allow for recipes to be on there so that you can look at recipes as you’re preparing, it would be very helpful for this device.

I absolutely love eCalendar! It really helps me stay focused and keep me on track! It helps me do my chores easier and also get more shopping done! Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful app. There is one tiny thing tho. When clicking the chores off it does run a little slow. But that’s all😊

I’ve had this for several months and I absolutely love it! It’s perfect. It shows photos when we’re not using the calendar. I can create task for the kids to accomplish activities and they’re so engaged to complete them. The touchscreen is perfect for little fingers. Highly recommend.
