Calendar

Overall happy with product, great support!

The app is very user friendly. However it is not perfect and I have experienced a few bugs and issues. Having said that, this is where I appreciate the technical support that I have received. While you worked on fixing the problem, you also gave me alternatives and workarounds to address the problem which was very helpful. I found the support team efficient, effective, helpful, professional and prompt. No product is perfect but when you have a good support team , it makes a huge difference to your overall experience of the product. Well done team! I truly appreciate your assistance in resolving the problems that I have encountered.

Add to Calendar

Update: Boom Tech reviewed the issue and identified a formatting problem that was causing issues, especially on iOS. This could mean the file might not be read correctly, or it might not be imported. I’m happy to say that their response was quick and effective, so I’ve adjusted my assessment now that it has been resolved. Initial post: It is incredibly disappointing that the “Add to Calendar” feature is not functioning correctly. This is particularly frustrating, given the app's premium cost. I am keen to know what measures are being taken to rectify this problem.

Missing features

It's a good app, and I've been using it for a number of years now. Does what it's supposed to. However the newest feature where people can subscribe to get updates when new events are added feels rushed and half baked. You can't change the email that's sent to subscribers, and unfortunately the standard email is very basic and even looks like spam to the end user. It also has no mention of the website sending it looks like a random email with incomplete information. "Go To Calendar" button in the email just sends to the homepage instead of the calendar page as well. All in all still needs some work but I hope this will be added soon.

Great support staff!

I really appreciate how quickly the support team responds to my questions, whether it be a small bug on their end they need to fix or something I have to do myself outside the app; they always respond to issues so quickly. There are a few quirks to the calendar that I think could be changed to make it better, but in the end, it does its job really well. Our organization has shared the calendar with our community and we've heard positive reviews. We are excited to keep exploring the calendar and finding new ways to make it engaging for them!

good

it would be able to adjust the order of what we can see first (week, month, day etc...)

It's great! Though I wish more events were allowed in the free version.

The support has been excellent and I have had my questions answered promptly and clearly! I wish that I could have more than 10 events for the free version, but for the most part, this app fits my needs nicely and I appreciate the support.

The App is user friendly - but not very customizable

Setting up an event is super easy - and can be done very quickly. Unfortunately, if you have an outside registration app, like setting up a Zoom or Teams meeting, you can't "sell tickets". The landing page that the app has doesn't have a ton of customization, but all in all, it is still the best app that WIX offers for this.

Overall Great, But Could Use a Few Changes

I wish the "end time" for an event could be left open-ended. I would like to dictate a "start time" but don't want to limit ourselves to a specific end-time in case events are ongoing for the day. Right now, we can only guess what time the event ends and include that, or claim the event is "all day." We would also like to be able to click on the event photo and it links to the event page like the title does!

Works well but the knowledge base support is limited

I had what is probably a very common issue syncing my google calendar and it wasn’t covered in the knowledge base support database.

Good Support but Lacking Customizability

The support team is helpful and even added a feature for me, but overall they lack the ability to customize. Overall it is a good tool and the team wants to help. I have tried all of the tools available for Wix and this does seem like the best one for a calendar. If you just want a calendar, this will do the job great for you. If you want to be able to fully customize the whole calendar, this might not be the perfect app for you. It is still better than all of the other calendar apps by far.

Very good app, easy to implement and customize

Excellent support from the Boomtech team, very responsive and customer focussed. Little "bugs" and deficits are quickly resolved. Boomtech does understand the needs and doing their best to realize them. Several calender views possible - and I think it is the only app on the Wix market that integrates classes, courses and events in one calendar (plus additional interfaces possible)

A great little calendar app

I'm really liking the use of this calendar so far. It plugs into the site pretty easily and is easy to populate with events. A few minor things for the team to consider: it does have a delay when loading onto the site, it would be good it you could designate 20 or so emails to be able to add events (as opposed to it being fully public or not at all), it would be good to be able to charge for those events as they get posted, and finally it would be nice to enable whoever submitted the event to be able to come back and edit it afterwards but still requiring approval before going live.

Great customer service

Whenever I get really stuck, help is always available. There are many elements one can add to the calendar. I'm about to upgrade from free to a paid subscription and hoping it is a lot smoother to use!

BoomTech Calendar and Wix

First of all, let me say that the BoomTech Calendar response team is great. I have had some small issues or questions, especially when starting a new calendar, but the Boomtech folks always ‘have your back,’ and are very responsive (and patient). I use the calendar on Wix, and find the process just a bit confusing because you can update the calendar from the initial (Home) web page, but to make design changes you need to be on the web page where the calendar resides (the Edit page). One improvement I would like is that holidays could be easily shown. (Google Calendar has that feature.) It also takes a long time for the calendar to load on the live web, at least on my system. Other than this, I really like the product, and appreciate the whole BoomTech team.

Nicely Designed App

Nicely designed app. Good support when you have problems with setup. Good features and flexible in it's use, will suit most users. Well done.

Good calendar solution AND great support!

Possible to do anything but not easy.

One time my new events did not show. On a second attempt a weekly event showed up daily. On a third event one of 11 did not show. It would have been nice to have a message pop up when I tried to exceed the allowed message count on the free version. In a later session the repeating event did not work but one can put them in individually and there are hand tools to duplicate and adjust the date.

It is almost exactly what I want.

The app has almost everything that I'm looking for. The design capabilities are not quite what I want, but I can make it work. Raisa, the person I chatted with, was excellent!

Mostly nice with need for some improvements

After time with this app using the Outlook integration, and feedback from the developer, I customized a calendar mostly to my satisfaction. I found calendar text in month, week, and daily views difficult to customize. But using color categories in Outlook, and Outlook's bold color mode, makes the calendar look nice. Nice surprise that color categories synch! But there is lack of customizability for mobile. It is not possible to select different views for desktop and mobile. A workaround to avoid text stacking on mobile is "Hide Hrs in Wkly/Daily View". The biggest issue is loading speed: 26 seconds compared with the Google's Wix calendar integration which loads unlimited, recurring events in 10 seconds max. Cutting recurring events from unlimited to a year shaved off 6 seconds of speed. But it creates an admin issue of constant Outlook updates. Hoping for improvements.

Really Positive Experience Overall

Update: Needed support with calendar feature and customer service was fast and helpful. I do wish the app would let me have more than one filter option for each event. Pros: I use this app to post community events. There are usually 6-7 each day, and I love the different views, especially the detailed view. The layout is clean and professional. Cons: After a month of using, I have had 2 incidents of minor glitches. The customer service team was highly responsive both times and fixed it within an hour. Also, the agenda view seems to struggle with having dates in order, particularly when I post an event that last several days. Hopefully future updates will fix this.
