Teamup Calendar

I’ve been using this app for several years now and love it. I coordinate a ceramics program at our elementary school and needed to find a way to schedule the resources we use. We have about 50 volunteers every year who use the app and it is so intuitive and easy to learn and use. This app fit our needs perfectly.

I thought this calendar was perpetual. I just realized it is keeping history for only 1 year. My family needs a calendar to keep track of medical appointments history, as well as other history. It had been particularly useful for our daughter, who has traumatic brain injury memory issues. She appreciated being able to go back and look up something she had done. Plus good for aging parents also with increasing memory issues! Other than that, it has been good for multiple family members to avoid conflicts in scheduling multiple items. Paid version is too expensive for family use, and it is not a full perpetual calendar either, still lose info after a few years. Would work if could export to pdf with all notes, but don’t believe this can be done either.

I started using this calendar for our office employees. It was the best I had come across in a long time. It was the easiest to add new appointments to our schedule and easily post vacation days for employees to view (only 9 employees and we avoid more than a couple of people off at one time). Easy to invite or remove people from a calendar share & views are customizable. If there was anything I could change it would be an alert for anyone following a calendar and customizable so that anyone not needing the alert could shut it off without affecting the other people getting an alert. At this point the only possible alert system with this app is an email which is virtually useless since it isn’t feasible for us to all have notifications for an email turned on our phones. The next change I would make is having the ability to look back at old calendar years. It’s come to my notice that after we used this app for more than a year, our entries are no longer available after a year. Since we made the mistake of relying solely on this app to schedule employees, now I have no way of looking back to see who took which holiday and who was bad about shirking responsibilities for coverage. At the very least this should have been communicated to users from the developers so that we could either purchase a version allowing for this or make it a policy to printing each calendar month before Teamup removed the information from the database. Trying to save a tree and use an electronic version of our good old dependable pen & paper calendar has been a bad move for us. Currently looking for a calendar that doesn’t remove our content.
