Back to school means back to crazy-busy schedules for many families. Not only does Mom or Dad have a personal schedule to keep on track, but suddenly one or more kids’ practices, club meetings, parties, minimum days and more are added to the mix.
Enter CalenGoo: the hugely popular calendar app that can be used as a standalone, mobile tool, or synched with a Google Calendar or Android Calendar. This app has an average review rating of 4.5/5 stars across 206 reviews, and while it’s priced at $5.99, users clearly feel it’s worth the money. From Amazon:
The Ultimate OrganizerCalenGoo is a calendar app that automatically syncs with your Android calendar and Google Calendar. It is designed to make it easier and faster to work with your calendar on your phone. Four different calendar views (day, week, month, and agenda) give you a good overview of your upcoming events. To make rescheduling events easy, move or copy the events via drag-and-drop in the day, week, and month view.
Wrangle Your Appointment CalendarAfter syncing with your calendar, CalenGoo offers a wide range of options to make your scheduling a breeze. Set active reminders with sounds, blink, vibrate, insist, and four different snooze times. Copy and send appointment dates and details via e-mail or SMS. Jump to any date to view that day’s agenda. Zoom in on the monthly calendar, and use the same functions as Google Calendar for recurring events. Set up customizable hardware buttons, such as setting the “Today” function to your phone’s back button. There is also a search feature to look up any keyword within your calendar appointments.
Widget CustomizationsA very useful feature of CalenGoo is the option to set up widgets for the week, month, and agenda calendars. These colored widgets make it much easier to recognize your upcoming events without having to check into the events’ details. Within the agenda calendar widget settings, for example, you can set time format, header time format, header font, entry font, background color, and background transparency. With CalenGoo, you’ll always be on top of your schedule.
Note: This app requires a Google account.
Amazon reviewer Suzanne Hegarty says:
I purchased this to sync with my Google Calendar, which I’ve used on my desktop for years. I run 6 separate calendars for our very busy family and I can now see all of them on my Kindle Fire whether I have WiFi or not. I’m very happy with this product.
Amazon reviewer R. Benza says:
You can set reminders, reminders of reminders, color code events, I’m telling you your options are endless.
