## What is SyncCal?

SyncCal allows you to share your iOS calendars (e.g. iCloud and Exchange calendars) via Google Calendar with other people. E.g. if you would like to share your work calendar with your family, you can do it this way. And if you (or your employer) doesn't want the events' details to be uploaded to Google Calendar, you can only upload empty events instead, so that your family knows at least the times of your events.

Just install SyncCal, enter your Google Calendar account, select which calendars should be synced and tap "Start". Afterward it will copy the selected calendars into new calendars in Google Calendar. It will also automatically keep them up-to-date by using background refresh and push notifications.

It can also be configured to automatically sync when you leave your workplace. Just turn "Sync when leaving this place" on when you are at work. SyncCal will save the location and afterward it will automatically sync every time you leave your workplace.

iOS' birthday calendar can also be synced into a Google calendar this way.

### 1/5 — Dooesn’t work

*2026-01-11*

Sync fails with aneedor message about lacking the authorization.

### 4/5 — Does what it says, with a missing feature

*2025-03-24*

So the app does what it says. It copies events from a locally synced calendar to a Google Calendar account. 

There’s just one flaw. Say you have a locally synced calendar with lots of meeting invites, some of which you’ve clicked Accept, Tentative, or you’ve not responded. If you copy these to a Google Calendar, they are just standalone meetings, so they can’t show whether the original invites are accepted, tentative or not responded. 

It would be amazing if the app let you choose to only sync based on the accepted status, or add ‘Accepted:’ or ‘Tentative:’ to the title of the copied event.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste you $1.00 on this

*2022-11-29*

It’s more frustrating than had I not spent the money

### 1/5 — Probleme

*2022-05-25*

Seit dem Update auf 15.5 wird kein IOS Kalender zum synchronisieren angezeigt.
Leider damit absolut nutzlos

### 5/5 — Works great and so valuable for this use case

*2022-05-18*

This syncs my wife’s business calendar to our personal google calendars. 

It doesn’t seem to sync on an automated frequency as it’s supposed to so I do have to run by hand occasionally. Hopefully this can be fixed and it’d be perfect then

Thank you to the author!!

### 4/5 — Could be even better

*2021-03-03*

This was a simple function that I wanted for a long time. I wrote a manual version using scriptable but their API no longer working on my phone so I had to look for existing solutions. This app is great, just two more requests: could you let us choose the destination calendar name, and also choose a customized time range? I would like to have some range within a single week since my calendar changes quite often. Really appreciate the app you made!

### 4/5 — Gute App mit Ausbaupotenzial

*2021-01-18*

Gelungene, einfache App!
Wenn es die Möglichkeit geben würde, in gewissen Intervallen automatisiert - und nicht nur in Abhängigkeit vom Standort - zu synchronisieren, hat die App absolut 5 Sterne verdient.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you change calendar names

*2021-01-08*

Doesn’t take into account we might have two calendars with the same name. Makes this totally useless.

### 3/5 — Kein automatischer Sync

*2020-08-27*

Eigentlich ist die Software nicht verwendbar. Der automatische Sync funktioniert nur, wenn ich meinen Arbeitsplatz verlasse ????
... oder den Sync von Hand starte.
Ich verstehe den Sinn dieser Funktion einfach nicht.

### 4/5 — Does what it intends, fantastic.

*2020-01-08*

After reading all the comments I do not believe everyone understands what this tool is for. It is for taking one set of calendar events and copying it to another one. It does exactly that.

The only flaw I can spot on this product is it does not support iOS to iOS, it is dependent on gmail. I’ve emailed the developer in hopes they can add iOS to iOS (which judging by the work flow, should be easy).

If iOS to iOS is added, it’ll get 5/5 from me.

Note, this is only iOS to Google. You utilize google as the cross platform calendar you’re copying data to.
