Overall Satisfaction with Google Calendar

We are a non-profit organization, and we are also a child care center. While we are one business, it sometimes feels like two businesses due to the nature of our industries. Google Calendar helps me keep track of everything. I use it for meetings with donors, parents, community partners, and even my own staff. I set reminders, and it helps me not be late for everything!

Pros

  • Multiple Calendars
  • Virtual Meeting Tools
  • Subscription to outside calendars
  • Consistency

Cons

  • .ics integration
  • More intuitive with adding guests
  • Mobile app can be touchy, adds extra events
  • Helps us gain Enrollment/Tuition by planning tours with prospective parents
  • Helps us get grants by deadlines
  • Helps plan board governance events
It is so detailed and yet so simple. The layout and color schemes make so much sense to me, and helps me organize what would be a chaotic schedule into a nicely organized timeline. I integrate all my other calendars into it for ease, putting my whole life into one app.
Apple Calendar is a lot harder to use and is much less collaborative. It's harder to set up multiple calendars and invite guests, let alone add on a video conferencing link. It doesn't mesh well with mail apps the way Google does, too. I can add an event to my calendar on Google from the email, but on Apple, I have to do it manually.

Would you buy Google Calendar again?

Google Calendar helps keep me on track. I have it set to remind me 10 minutes before any event, which helps me prepare and finish what I'm doing before the next thing. I have it set up on my Apple watch, so it's like a little assistant tapping my wrist when I have an appointment.
