### "Great Calendar Plugin "

April 8, 2020

5.0

Overall I’ve found sugar calendar to be a robust plugin that’s well maintained and offers everything you would need for a Wordpress plugin like this.

Pros

Overall use of this plugin is extremely user friendly. The simplicity of creating events, adding details, and more make this an amazing plugin.

Cons

I wish the front end view as displayed on a live page was a little more styled, especially the lists view.

### "Please remove me from updates and future payments"

March 31, 2020

3.0

Please remove me from updates and future payments. I tried the plugin, paid for it initially but it didn't fit the intended project and I used another calendar plugin instead. I thought Sugar Calendar could be used for another client, however I haven't used it. Not knocking your product, which looks good – it just haven't had a need to use it. I was surprised to get a bill from you for an annual licence, but I can see it's been 12 months since my purchase. So I guess, fair enough. But I don't want to pay for any future licence extensions etc. What I found frustrating was I couldn't log into your website to manage my account. Please remove my card details and don't take any more money from me. If I do have a use for it, I will renew my licence at that point.

Pros

Looks nice. Good interface and easy to use.

Cons

It didn't fit with the project I was working on at the time.

Reason for choosing Sugar Calendar

I didn't. I used EventOn which suited the website project much better on this occasion. Not because it's a free plugin, but because it just looked right for the musician site I was building.

Hi David, it appears that our support team provided you with a refund immediately after your request as you were within our 30-day refund window. You mentioned that you had difficulty with logging in on our site to cancel your subscription. We've revamped our website and now it's easier than ever. We also noticed that you had never reached out for support before your refund request. Since we were able to provide you with a refund, any chance you'd reconsider our 1 out of 5 stars for Customer Support? If you have a more suitable project for Sugar Calendar in the future, we'll always be here!

### "Longtime user with wishes in waiting"

April 6, 2020

4.0

Very good. When I have a question, I am always heard.

Pros

Excellent people behind the product starting with Pippin and continuing with the expanded team as Sand Hills. Functionally, I love how I can implement multiple calendars in a variety of ways using taxonomies and shortcodes to build a fairly robust system on my clients' websites.

Cons

Always have a wish or two in waiting, don't we all? I wish I could duplicate events and that I had more control over the specific content that displays in various views and in archives. I also wish, there were a way to select the nth Weekday of the Month for repeating events.

Reason for choosing Sugar Calendar

Excellent support and consistent performance.

Hello Steven. Thanks for using Sugar Calendar and leaving a review here. We will take those wishes you listed on Cons and see what we can do. Thanks! Regarding selecting the 'nth' day for repeating events, be on the lookout for the soon-to-be-released Advanced Recurring add-on. I'm pretty sure that will take care of your needs. Here is a preview - https://sugarcalendar.com/preview-of-the-upcoming-advanced-recurring-add-on/

Pros

We found Sugar Calendar just by browsing WP add ons. It has come in very handy for our clients as it's easy to implement and very easy for them to use even if they aren't technical.

No real issues but we always encourage more features.

April 1, 2020

5.0

I like Sugar Calander. I use it for my blog. it's nice to be able to click on a day and see previous posts without having to search for them. It also allows my readers to see previous posts by day.

Pros

installs quickly. allows you to create events. helps keep your site organizes allows you to add a calander to see the day's events or posts for you site.

Cons

For me, the calender was easy to use. I don't have any events so I'm not faiilar with the set up.

### "I bought Sugar Calendar for it's potential much more than what it can do now"

April 1, 2020

4.0

Simple, clean product with much more to come in the future, I hope.

Pros

I liked its simplicity first and foremost.

Cons

It's missing a lot of features that you can get from The Events Calendar, but I also wanted some kind of hook into Woocommerce and EDD.

Reason for choosing Sugar Calendar

Tbh, it's Pippin's / Sandhill's reputation that made me choose Sugar Calendar over The Events Calendar. I haven't seen as much as I'd like to in regards to continuous development, but it's being up-kept and works well.

That said, we have lots of add-ons planned and in the works right now. We hope this will take care of most or all of those extra features you're looking for.

### "Using Sugar Calendar to support many initiatives across our web ecosystem"

April 7, 2020

3.0

Other than my issue with the documentation and not finding a resolution to problems, it's not a bad tool. Easy to use and embed into a web page. It works.

Pros

It's super easy to use/add events and embed into a web page. It looks decent also, for default.

Cons

I have no idea to this day if we are able to add the same event to multiple calendars. The documentation provided on your website honestly made me feel like I made a giant mistake. The documentation is seriously lacking and I never did find a solution. If we can't add an event to multiple calendars, then, yep, I wasted money and will have to switch to a new product soon.

Reason for choosing Sugar Calendar

We manage close to 400 websites. The fact I could pay a one time fee and use the calendar across all properties ... you can't beat that!

Hello Jenn. Thank you for using Sugar Calendar and for reviewing it here for the benefit of others. We will work harder on documentation. It's likely you can use categories, and specifying which categories to display on the front-end via shortcode to achieve what you need. - https://docs.sugarcalendar.com/article/458-displaying-the-calendar Unless I am misunderstanding you.

### "I have several client who really dig this plugin."

March 31, 2020

4.0

it's intuitive, and very user friendly

Pros

I love that the learning curve to use the calendar is so low. Even my non-tech clients can get their heads around it.

Cons

I wish it was a little more robust, but it serves what the clients are using it for very well.

Reason for choosing Sugar Calendar

It was easy to customize. I am a web designer, so I am not sure it would be easy for John Doe public, but it was easy for me.

### "Good calendar for ministries"

April 8, 2020

4.0

A good way for the ministry that retains me to have a calendar of all of their upcoming events.

Pros

This was ready to set up and to explain to my clients how to use it.

Cons

There doesn't seem to be a way to generate a list of upcoming events to place on the home page.

Reason for choosing Sugar Calendar

Better price, better value, and I know and trust the people behind it.

Hi Paul. Thank you for using Sugar Calendar and helping others by reviewing it here. We hope it continues to be useful for you and your clients. You should be able to list upcoming events on the home page with our shortcodes, barring some oddity with the website theme.

### "Why I love Sugar Calendar"

April 9, 2020

4.0

Simple and easy to setup and run.

Pros

Well put together... Covers things from top to bottom

Cons

It would be nice to create re-occuring events... to create events that have links to WooCommerce products linked, such as booking tables for each event... But... All in all? I love the software so no complaints. More like Feature Requests.

### "Great WordPress Calendar Plugin"

April 13, 2020

5.0

Great, I had one issue with the date format for the UK. I asked the developer if there was a way to change it via a filter and there was but they went further and built a way to change it into the admin ui in the next release.

Pros

Fast to work with and worked how I thought it would. It was easy to tweak with CSS and worked well with Beaver Builder and Themer.

Cons

Not as feature rich as the market leader.

April 18, 2020

5.0

Pros

Sugar calendar is an overall great plugin that's easy to use, looks clean and was so easy to implement. Im so used to programs having a steep learning curve before I can truly use the program to its fullest potential, this is not the case for sugar calendar
