Should we try for 3 p.m. CT after the next solar eclipse?”) Also coordinating between time zones and tracking availability across personal and work calendars can be a challenge.

Maybe if you are needing a large enterprise solution you may need something else but we have found that it fits all of needs as a 32 people team. It has worked flawlessly since we installed it. I keep focusing on this but it is a 30 min set up and that’s it.

I have used Zen Planner at 3 different Jujitsu schools. Every school that has used it, has had great success in keeping their attendance records straight for their students. This is great when promotions are coming up, or special seminars that need to reach everyone. I don't know that Zen Planner is a great product for places that don't need to communicate with their clients on a regular basis.

Cons
AppSumo Originals
  • One of my clients wanted to set up membership subscriptions that can be billed through the app. As far as I can tell it doesn't have that capability yet.
  • It would be great if Square was one of the integrations.
  • Maybe being able to set travel time to in-person meetings by integration with Google Maps?

  • The only thing I would like to see, is the ability to see my entire attendance from the app. I can view it on the desktop though.

In Google Calendar, we can't do advance booking. First, we have to collaborate on confirming a time suitable for everyone before scheduling a meeting this may lead to time waste for all the parties, this problem can be solved with the help of TidyCal resulting in better time management.

  • I can keep track of 10, 20, 30, or even 50 students using this platform.
