Needs serious compatibility improvements

I love Zoho products, and as I mentioned in my review to Zoho Notebook, they really know how to get organization features done right. But for this one, I have to be fair.

Personally, it is quite frustrating how so many modern applications are not compatible throughout different ways of accessing them, despite that we live in an age in which that is the norm. Whether someone uses the app, web version, computer, mobile, iPad, the product should be equally accessible. But it is very common that people are forced to use a particular method that does not comply with their personal preferences.

It would appear that syncing Apple Calendar to Zoho Calendar cannot be done through the app for mobile nor iPad. Even though Google says to copy the DevCal code, it is not clear how. Under the Sync option in the Settings, you only have “Reset and Sync” and “Clear cache”. There is no actual code to copy. This might be true for desktop or the web version, but not through the apps.

So it forces me to use the web version, but then once I launch it, the app is immediately opened. So I have to either delete the app temporarily so that does not happen, or do everything on my desktop computer.

I also tried using the web version on mobile instead of the app, but the layout does not show everything on the screen. If there is an additional option, it is not being displayed, but getting cut off.

This is quite a bummer. Zoho Calendar looks like a great app, and I love how it has an email reminder option for events, but having to sync Apple Calendar is way too difficult, and there is a lot of lack of compatibility. I will change my review if these issues can be addressed, but for now, I have to be honest and say that this has been more stressful than helpful. I will still keep an eye out for this, however.

Easy tracking

Easy to manage and very helpful 🙂

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review!

Good, but bugs

I have this on my mobile phone in addition to the Zoho Mail app (which also includes a "calendar" view) and I find it very useful to have the option to swap back and forth between an email and calendar, rather than having to re-find my place in an email or on the calendar to manage scheduling. This app specifically has some UI bugs (ie. the settings menu doesn't adjust to the screen properly) but I haven't personally encountered any functionality problems with the syncing, etc. Additionally, unlike the mail app that includes the calendar, this dedicated calendar has additional management features, like subscribing to other people's calendars.

No festival marked

There is no festival marked on its respective date
I request you to plz add festival name in the calendar below the date.

Response from developer

Hi, Greetings from Zoho Calendar! The Festival Holidays feature is already available. To enable it, please follow the steps below: Settings → Import and Subscribe → Holiday Calendars, and then enable the required holidays. Please let us know if you need any assistance with this or have further questions.

Missing events

Bi-weekly events change dates depending on what the starting day is. Showing correct on the web app or on the Mail app > calendar but on this app events are missing or in the wrong place. Not very good! Please sort

Date and day, Indian holi days also not shown

Zoho calendar icons should be appear with day and date as like apple calendar on the screen. when calendar open the half screen show calendar with time table that should be and appear with approach whenever user need it. Indian holiday should be update in calendar.

User experience

App interface is not so exciting.. been used to google calendar and i am fine with it.. please try to improve anything better

Unfortunately pretty bad

If you are a zoom user, don’t use this app. Use google calendar or something different. This will drive you crazy.

If you edit or delete one instance it will delete the entire zoom link, if you delete the entire event Google users may still see it there etc contacts that you add Zoho Contacts somehow don’t make it to Zoho Calendar instantly.

Great app

It’s a great app for managing my appointments and day to day operations. Integrated into my Zoho email account for my domain name.

Zoho ONE &Workplace

Why are there no tablet specific apps? Expanding a phone app looks terrible on a tablet and wastes space. Come on do better and outsource someone to write some code.

Response from developer

Apologies for the inconvenience. We’re happy to share that the latest Zoho Calendar app now supports iPad. Please update to the newest version and share your feedback with us at calendar@zohomobile.com.

Poor developers

I notified zoho three times that their calendar widget displays the wrong date on iPhone. I sent them screen shots and they acknowledged the mistake and said they would fix it. They haven’t and that was over 6 months ago. Since then they haven’t updated the app. This error caused me many embarrassing scheduling mistakes including my own wedding date!!!

This calendar cannot be trusted! The lack of dedication to fix a basic element of a calendar, ie, the date corresponding with a day beggars belief.

Sadly our company relies on the zoho ecosystem which is generally good but their basic mistakes and lack of accountability is absurd! This bug is a perfect example.

Great App

This app is really good and is definitely better than google calendar, but there is one thing that really needs fixing! If the start day of the week is set to Sunday, the day of the week changes on the month view widget - but not the date! So it always looks like you’re a day behind! Keeps catching me out!

Cross Device Sync is horrible

Mobile app does not accurately reflect my calendar causing an unpleasant user experience for both myself and my clients.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience caused. Could you please provide the feedback through our calendar app? Also, kindly ensure the "Include System Logs" option is enabled. This will help us analyze the issue further. We'll make sure to look into it with utmost priority. Thanks!

Crashes before opening

Worked for years, but now it just crashes before even opening. Was really nice to have a separate app for the calendar app I could easily switch back and forth on specific emails and events. Hope this gets fixed.

So far so good

I really like all of the ZoHo products that I’ve used. Their mail/calendar app works great, just now trying this calendar only app. Seems really good!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

Brilliant!

From what I’ve experienced so far, this app exceeds Google Calendar in that it allows specific minute time input for times.

It also provides a nice month view, which is great as it’s what I’m used to in Google Calendar.

I also love that it allows different notification options, through e-mail, or through a notification on your phone. These are all great options!

I was surprised at how little reviews this has, this is a fantastic alternative and one I will be using for a while now.

Not syncing in a timely manner

Its taking days for events to sync. I inserted an event via the mail app calendar two days ago. Still not showing on this app

Response from developer

Hi, Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We request you to please share details of your issue with calendar@zohomobile.com. We will resolve your concerns with priority.

Garbage!

It gives me an error message that the time or date on my phone is incorrect, and I need to set my phone to automatic. Well, my phone is, and has always been, set to automatic. Also, I have an iPhone. The date and time are always correct because it automatically sets. This app is a huge disappointment.

Amazing app

The best calendar app I have used.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

Really bad

I was really excited for this app. Unfortunately it’s not even near ready for end-user usage. The widget never shows upcoming events, the calendar crashes continually, and the events are rarely shown correctly. Surprised this passed any kind of QA.
