Lightweight & Responsive Calendar Integration
Was looking for a solution to display a Google Calendar and this is the winner! Sure, you could use a Google Calendar iframe, but it looks terrible on mobile. Other plugins that could show a responsive calendar have way more features than I needed. Support staff were helpful and pleasant. Simple Calendar has just the…

Awesome plugin
Plugin worked as required with straight forward setup. I’m really pleased with how it is working. I did have a question for their support but they were quick to replay.

Great Plug-in & Support
This a great plug-in, comprehensive yet simple interface. Support staff such as John Gachari has been super responsive and helpful in fixing display errors caused by integrations with the Oxygen Builder and JQuery Migrate settings.

Love This Plugin
had a minor issue, support answered almost immediately! Helped me fix my issue right away.
Excellent
Not sure about some of the bad reviews. This plugin (free version) has worked and is working flawlessly for me without any problems whatsoever. In addition, the markup it serves and the presentational (css) layer are well thought out. Beats another paid plugin I wont name hands down.

Great plugin to connect with Google Calendar
Highly recommended plugin to connect your Google Calendar events with your WordPress site.

Did not work on my site
Spent more than 2 hours to get it working. (Thanks to outdated info about Google API). The result is not what it should be: it was a tiny grid with no readable info. The plugin does not deserve “simple”. It is not intuitive and clearly not plug and play. So I keep using the simple but ugly Google Calendar iframe…

gemakkelijk, netjes, prima helpdesk
Makkelijk te installeren en te gebruiken in Elementor. Het ziet er netjes uit op de website en is responsive. Aan te passen aan de huisstijl. De helpdesk reageert snel en vriendelijk via e-mail.

Great plugin and excellent support
I use the plugin on a number of sites. It works well and I’ve found it easy to configure to get exactly what is wanted. A recent issue was resolved in 30 minutes with a patch and a full update within 24 hours. A happy customer!

Absolutely Epic
This is such a better method for managing events. It might not have the more full-fledged features like ticketing, but for my purpose — a local municipality website — it is so much easier for the client to manage their events in the familiar Google Calendar interface than it is to create event-posts in any of the…

An Essential Tool for our School Website
I’ve been using Simple Calendar since 2017 for my school, and it has become an absolutely indispensable tool for our website. Every class has a Google Calendar and we add their calendars to our website. I like the widgets and the design. The support is exceptional. Today, I reached out my first question and received…

Simple Calendar – Google Calendar Pro Add-on
I purchased the Simple Calendar – Google Calendar Pro Add-on to easily connect my calendar and display the original event colors. However, every week the integration resets and the calendar stops displaying properly. I have no way to fix it, and it keeps happening. Very frustrating.

Excellent calendar plugin
I am using the free version for a non profit neighbourhood project. Integration and basic customisation of the calendar works out of the box. A gigantic thank you to the developer for making this plugin available.

Super helpful support
I had a calendar display problem, where the month and contents of the calendar were shifted. I couldn’t find what the problem was, but the very kind support found that the time zones were different. This solved the problem. I can only recommend it.

Easy to go
Easy to use, the only tricky thing is to get the Google Calendar API Key 😉 Thanks for your work

This plugin is great – you do have to clear cache sometimes
This plugin is super handy – I use it on a couple of sites and it allows me to customize my clients’ calendars. (You can do a ton of customization in CSS too, of course.) I make multiple versions of the same calendar so both mobile and desktop look great. (Desktop is a full traditional calendar and mobile is more of a…

Could not get to work
You need a Google API key to install. The documentation on how to do this is outdated. So I never could figure out how to get the API key so I never installed this plugin.

Simple the best!
Very good support. You must have this plugin if you want a good calendar on your website. Recommended!

Works great, but the instructions could be a little more thorough
We followed instructions to a T, I thought, and yet our Google calendar did not show on the website via the plugin. It turns out, although we had the main calendar itself set as public, each individual event was set as private, so nothing showed. The instructions ought to mention that each individual event must be set…

Quick Support
The support team is competent and very fast. The tool is very useful for clubs.

Easy to use and great support
This plugin does exactly what it promises. Easy to use and plenty of customization possible. On top of that, the developer very responsive and willing to help

buggy and does not consistently display events
tried the free and paid version. Both are not worth the money as the keep getting disconnected and will randomly stop displaying the events on the calendar
by gpbush · Read on WordPress.org
Powerful and easy to use
I use the plugin for several client websites and it works very well. Even with the free version you can go in any direction. The plugin is flexible and the connection with Google is quickly done thanks to the clear manual.

Very good plug-in, great support
I’m using the free plugin, but I’m thinking of purchasing the paid version. It works perfectly, is intuitive to use and as far as I’m concerned it does its job well. The support is outstanding, it helped me a lot to set up and customize the view. Thank you!

Love it!
It’s easy to setup and work with. Highly recommend!

Works Great
I’m using the premium version of this plugin. Overall it works great and the support was very helpful when I needed it.

Works Great!
I purchased the pro version and setup was very simple. I also had a question and submitted to support and was answered quickly and to the point. Great experience overall. Thank you

Seems Great So Far!
It seems pretty good so far, a little work to figure out the setup, but I might even consider pro just for the faster month to month loading time it speaks of. The fact it makes the calendar responsive vs the native google embed code is HUGE and the ability to do some custom coloring is quite nice. I did read someone…

Great functionality, great support
This plugin is a must-have for every WordPress installation with any calendar connection (for me especially Google Calendar). Works great and if not, support solves problems quickly and reliably. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by nevelle.
