It will send you reminders ahead of time to ensure that you don't miss anything important. > > **Cons**: I have not really had any issues with the application, although initial setup, as with any new app, can be a little frustrating. > > Overall my experience has been very good. The app is easy to use and intuitive. Reminders come through when expected, ensuring that nothing important is missed. ----- ### "Google Calendar is THE GOAT" — 5.0/5 > **Yolandi** | *11 February 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is very little not to love about Google Calendar. But one thing that really stands out is how you can add different calendars to one account, for one client, we even set up a software renewal date calendar. > > **Cons**: I would love more integrations with tasks and sheets, but that's about it. > > I love it, I doubt I will ever use another type of calendar, it takes care of every need that I have and is integrates seamlessly with any other software ----- ### "Full life integration" — 4.0/5 > **Samantha** | *12 December 2024* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it integrates a cross devices > > **Cons**: If I have a recurring appointment I haven't yet been able to figure out how to remove all future appointments ----- ### "Efficient, Integrated, and Virtually Indispensable" — 4.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *12 April 2026* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The integration is unmatched; it connects with almost every tool I use. I love that I can click a single button and event information is automatically placed on my calendar at the correct time without manual entry. The ability to launch a video meeting instantly from the schedule is also a game-changer—it has made other third-party meeting apps like Zoom unnecessary for my daily operations. For the cost, it’s truly the "BOSS." > > **Cons**: Managing multiple Gmail accounts can be cumbersome; when integrating calendars, I frequently see duplicate entries for the same event. I also find the visual feedback lacking when adding new items; I wish the information would appear immediately so I didn’t have to go searching to verify it landed correctly. Additionally, while the built-in meeting tool is convenient, it lacks some of the advanced visual collaboration/whiteboarding features found in dedicated platforms. > > Overall, Google Calendar is my primary hub for organization. It simplifies scheduling across different platforms, though it does require some manual "cleanup" when handling multiple accounts. I think the user experience could be greatly improved if Google offered a monthly "meet up" or live help session to show users how to smooth out these minor technical friction points. Despite a few integration limitations regarding visual tools during meetings, it remains the most effective calendar solution for my needs at this price point. ----- ### "Master Calendar 📅" — 5.0/5 > **Elmounder** | *26 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, synchronized integration with emails 📧, updated in all devices, Appointments not to miss with Google calender reminders > > **Cons**: It automatically schedule appointments from emails, flight tickets, events tickets, and communication > > I import other calendars to Google Calendar, I rely on mainly on Google calendar in all my devices, All in one is Google calendar ----- Page: 1 / 164\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/213340/google-calendar?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/213340/google-calendar) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
