This one’s a keeper
After trying multiple other family calendar apps, keeping up with team calendars, work calendars and multiple Gmail calendars, I was skeptical that this would be another calendar that didn’t last a week.
This calendar streamlined everything without over complicating things. It allows you to import multiple calendars from various platforms, it’s simple to add things straight into the app, it has widget capabilities and the best part is how personally involved the developers are in your experience. They are easy to ask questions to and they answer them personally. If you run into any issues (I haven’t yet) they make themselves available.
Oh and did I mention the 30 day free trial. Who does that?! Not a single one of the other apps I tried. Give this app a try, you won’t regret it.

Amazing but slow
I love this app it’s everything I need. But it’s slow and glitchy. I was unable to scroll through to January to add something to my calendar. The app couldn’t load fast enough and kept closing. I thinks it’s having trouble with all my to do lists. These really don’t need to be on the calendar. Undecided if I will keep this. A bit pricey for being so glitchy, but it has everything I need. It’s been amazing to help the whole family stay on top of chores and school work.

Berry Good Jam!!!
As a busy family of 5 with a live-in Au Pair, we couldn’t imagine using any other calendar system. We especially love the AI features that make the admin burned on this app so minimal.
Jam is a lifesaver
I’ve always been an avid paper planner but I am able to use jam and a paper planner together perfectly. I love having Jam accessible anywhere I go and it felt so much more user friendly than skylight. I recommend to all my mom friends!
The Best Family Calendar and The Best Customer Service
I cannot recommend Jam Family Calendar enough. I am a birth doula, birth educator, and death doula pursuing a MSPH. In addition, I am a single mom and survivor of DV. The owners have worked with me to implement this into my life and it has already helped me organize and plan the chaos better. Out of all the family apps out there, please choose this one. It is run by people that actually care.

This App Is Everything
This I’d the most comprehensive and useful app I’ve ever found for family management (and I’ve tried a LOT). This is the only one that has is ALL in one place - calendar, iCal, a daily section and a separate list section (ex. Recurring daily tasks vs. grocery list) AND the best part… customer support. I reached out with a question and received a fast helpful response, and the communication has been great. So glad to have found this system!

Amazing
Best calendar app ever. Never thought I would get my act together but this has changed my life!
Got potential
I really love the idea behind JAM—it has a clean, modern design, and the integration with external calendars is really promising. However, there are some big drawbacks. First, when you sync with Apple Calendar, there’s no way to assign different colors to each calendar, making multiple schedules really hard to keep straight. Plus, it doesn’t offer an auto-sync option—so you can’t set it to refresh every few minutes, meaning you have to manually update it. On top of that, the 30-day calendar view looks really rough—it would be so much better if they used Apple’s style for that view, which is much cleaner. If JAM could fix these design and sync issues, it would really be a standout app—but for now, it’s too limited.

Avoid App
Reading the terms in conditions, it mentions to cancel using the following link with nothing attached. Cannot cancel within the app itself.
Intuitive
Intuitive and Easy. I can tell this will be helpful for general planning in a multi-gen house
I love Jam!
I’ve been using Jam Calendar for a while now and genuinely love it. The app keeps getting better with thoughtful features that actually make everyday life easier.
The new ability to add events using voice or even images is fantastic - it’s quick and surprisingly accurate. But the feature I use the most is forwarding event emails directly into the calendar. It automatically pulls the details and creates the event for you, which saves so much time and cuts out the usual copy-paste hassle.
Another thing worth mentioning is the team behind the app. They’re incredibly easy to contact and genuinely open to feedback and feature suggestions, which makes the whole experience feel very user-focused.
Overall, Jam Calendar is simple, clever, and clearly built by people who care about making a great product. Highly recommend.

Couple needed additions
Just downloaded. So far so good. Please include star or coins for tracking rewards for our kids who complete their chores! Also, really need dinner planning feature
Needs to include a meal planner
I think the only thing that would make this more fully functioning for me is if it included a tab for meal planning.
Husband and wife
My wife and I love this thing. It syncs. It does more. Love it. Recommended, they clearly care about thier app which is a nice feeling when you’re using it and if you need support. Thank you.
best calendar/family app i’ve used
I am not a mom, and single, but this app has been everything I have looked for. i have autism/ADHD and aging parents and find it way easier to navigate than most calendar apps, the color coding of family members tasks and appointments is super helpful for me to really be able to see what’s going on. My family doesn’t use it but just for how it helps me alone it’s worth the yearly price for me. So grateful for this app!

Good but missing a key feature
Overall a good experience of an app. We use it to load external calendars in one location pulling from group spot and Teamsnap. A few additions needed: 1) Being able to add the name of the person whose event it is. Currently the only differentiator on mobile, from the day view is the color. A name would be better so at quick glance it’s clearer. 2) gotta be able click on location in app and activate the map feature in phone. This is available nearly everywhere else - huge missing element. These 2 elements knock it down to 3 stars. If corrected happy to boost rating. As of now feels too expensive.

Easy to access and reference
A lifesaver for our family!
This app is exactly what we needed to organize our family calendars. It’s easy to keep track of school events and parties, and especially helpful when we have changing pickup and drop offs and temporary caregivers. Each adult has an account, and the different privacy settings are perfect. I esp love the email-to-calendar feature for easy importing!

Search Function
Our whole family is using Jam and we love it! In a household with two teens with busy schedules, Jam keeps us all connected and aware of each other’s schedules! That’s huge!
The only thing that would make Jam perfect is a search function within the calendar. This the 4 star review.
Thank you, Jam for helping our busy family organized!

Great calendar
The calendar has worked for every scenario our family has needed. It’s easy to organize, easy to add other calendars like the soccer team calendar. Our family uses this on a daily basis.
