Pros

“With Google Calendar, it is easy for me to find time for scheduling new events like reservations and virtual meetings and also manage appointments with my learners.”
DH

Daniel H.

Senior Lecturer

“Built-in automatic reminders and the ability to add video conferencing links for our technical coordination meetings greatly facilitate communication between the day and night shifts.”
RC

Ron C.

Engineering and Maintenance Leader

“But I like the most about Google calendar is that all my meetings are applied to my calendar as soon as my email comes in also like that, I can share my calendar with my colleagues”
MB

Mayted B.

Medical biller and collector

Pros

“Limited tool for support coordination e.g budgeting, support planning and automated forms i.e services agreements, support plans.”
GG

Gerry G.

Client Intake and Scheduling Coordinator

“We are able to communicate for last minute coverage too and that makes all the difference when getting our clients the care they need.”
JR

Julie R.

Scheduling

“Shiftcare is top of the line if appointment management is your main concern!”
BL

Brooks L.

Medical Assistant

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.

English Teacher

“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.”

Abhijeet M.

“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.”
MW

Melinda W.

Owner

Cons

“I can create new types of staff qualifications in the settings section, but I can't find how to add these qualifications to staff profiles.”
JM

Julia M.

Service Delivery Manager

“I'd like to easily be able to export individual incident reports into OUR template in Word or PDF - the export for communications at the moment is pretty ugly and is only in PDF.”
JM

Julia M.

Service Delivery Manager

“They even called my personal cell multiple times for payment before onboarding, but once issues appeared, they vanished.”
