Wonderful technical support
by
The premium version of the plugin did not work correctly at first due to an error in the theme being used. They helped me to locate and solve the problem. ------ Maravilloso soporte técnico. La versión premium del plugin no funcionaba correctamente al principio debido a un error en el theme que se estaba utilizando. Me ayudaron a localizar y solucionar el problema.
No Support
by
Purchased product a week ago, and found it lacking. Requested refund, but no response! There is supposed to be a 100% guaranteed refund, but nothing! Avoid this vendor!
no support = bad support
by
I wrote many mails to them, because I want to get back my money (30 day garantee), but they do not answer. That is a very bad business practice.
Not Simple & Broken
by
I followed the instructions step-by-step. My Google calendar will not populate. Doesn't work. Don't waste your time with this.
Simple and Easy
by
Had to switch Calendar plugins recently and found this plugin easy and simple. I can now use our Google Calendar with our website. I even customized it in CSS to display Grid in desktop and List in mobile.
great plugin, does what I need it to
by
New to WordPress, found this plugin to be exactly what I needed for our site. Easy to setup and configure. Simple to add css for styling.

Site crashed with last update (modified)
by
With the last update my site crashed and I had to roll back to previous version of Simple Calendar. It's a pity because I really like the simplicity of this plugin. Update 2017-07-31; Tried again to update to latest version and to my supprise everything worked well. So I presume there was something when I did the first update and therefor I have to modify my review and give this plug in a higher rate.
Don't use until they fix the last update
by
Killed my site during the last update. Had to roll-back to a previous version and skip the plugin update.
