Cons

“I have to manually send invites and manage time-zone changes for each student, which can be time-consuming when I have many recurring lessons or students in different countries.”

José J.

“I have also noticed occasional Bugs and Issues such as delayed notifications, synchronization problems between devices, or events not updating properly in real time. While these issues are not very frequent, they can still create confusion and affect productivity when handling important appointments or work meetings.”

“The biggest downside is its limited customization and advanced features—it works great for basic scheduling, but it can feel too simple if you need more complex planning tools or deeper personalization.”
