Desktop Calendar Plus App Reviews

I have a MacBook Pro running a 2GHZ Intel Core i7 & 10.7.5. This version of the App is SUPPOSED to be compatible. It isnt. I ran this Apps previous version, everything was fine. It was helpful. I updated, now it does not run. The developer is useless and provides no assistance. I cannot go back and get the earlier version, so i am just out the cost of the App. I have emailed Desktop Calendar Support three (3) times, i do not even get the courtesy of a response back. Pretty disappointing.

Exactly what I needed — a quick way to view a calendar without having to open or switch to an app. I use Outlook for my calendar, and if I want to just take a quick look at a calendar , I have to switch away from whatever I’m working on. This app overlays a calendar on the desktop, so it’s just a quick gesture on the trackpad to expose the desktop. Looks great and highly configurable. The calendar can apparently link to your Apple or Google calendars and display appointments, but not Exchange calendars. That’s ok for me, because I was just looking for a simple, uncluttered view.

I have Yosemite beta I, please pay attention it’s not working on Yosemite Thanks

I bought this app so I could display my google calandar on my desktop (via .ics url), which this product claims to be able to do. However, when I add the proper .ics url into the preferences and click ok, nothing happens. Second issue I have with this, I run a two-monitor system and wanted to display the calendar on my secondary monitor so I could see it while working on other things. There is no functionality built in to this app to control where the calendar displays. Its fixed to the primary monitor, so if I want to glance at it to check a date, I have to clear my desktop. Not what I had in mind.

This is the worst app I’ve ever bought. It won’t run at all. There’s no way of setting preferences as there isn’t any icon to set the preferences with. Who’s to know though until you buy something that you’re throwing money away.

I can only speak for myself, and I absolutely love this app! I can plug in all of my events in ical and it shows up flawlessly, and it looks great doing it. I can even click on each event right on the desktop to show the full length of the event that I am trying to view, something I did not expect to be able to do. Again, I can only speak for myself, and I give this app five stars.

I purchased this several months ago to display on one side of my two monitor setup and it works just perfectly. I had no problems setting it up, it works just like advertised (wish I could say that about some other apps;-) I love that I can tweak all the aspects of the appearance to show what I want, how I want. Well worth it for me!

I had high hopes for this calendar as it is transparent, part of the desktop, and supposed to interface with Apple calendar. Exactly what I wanted. It is possible that I have missed something, or that this doesn’t work with Yosemite. I believe that all I should need to do, to have interaction with Apple Calendar, is to use Preferences -> Schedule -> choose Apple Calendar. I have done this. There is no indication of anything from Apple Calendar appearing in this app. Sadly, the Desktop Calendar Plus remains a completely blank Calendar (except for the numbers on each day) on my desktop. So it feel like I just spent $7.99 to put nothing but numbers on my desktop… there is no practical functionality. As I had already accomplished “numbers in a calendar format” using Geek Tool, this is completely redundant and a waste of money.

Very nice application. Suggest to add some usefull function - triple click on date box adds event in date box and automatically in iCal. Please add russian localization.

I want to like this application… I have one major gripe (problem) however, the main current month calendar cannot be scaled down beyond a certain, very large, point. Take a look through the screenshots and you will see the *minimum* size that the current month calendar can be reduced to. What I find odd is that the alternate calendars, like previous month of next month, are nice and small… just like I wish the main month cal could be. Development team of Desktop Calendar Plus, if you are listening, please allow me to reduce the size of this current months calendar! Best wishes.

Id like to be able to write something on any given day on the calender. Do that! and I would give you 100 stars if I could.

This app is great. It looks great even with your desired background and the apperance options are great. The only thing is….Like mentioned below, you cant write into the calendar. However I just open the stickes application that comes on the computer and fill it in that way. It still looks good and you can make the stickes transparent.

This is the look I wanted for my desktop, recent update fixed bugs after update to Mountain Lion. A litlle expensive but worth every penny.

This app is really nice and it makes my desktop functional and beautiful but i wish that it would sync with iCal so that we could visually and easily maintain our busy schedules. 5 stars if that feature comes anytime soon :) Good work

A) it says wrong date, OCT 10 while its OCT 5th B) wont start at the start up even I checked the box in preferences to start at the start up C) why wouldnt you have direct iCal synchronization???

do not waste your money

I love this app! It is so easy to set up & personalize. With all the aesthetic tweaks you can make, I had my desktop looking sleek & functional. You can change line thickness & color, fonts, number placement, subsidiary calendar layout, calendar size, transparency, weekend & holiday notation, & themes. I created my own theme with a picture & settings of my own. Just a note: the user who claimed it did not work did not realize that the large number below the main calendar months name is the month number, not the day/date (October, 10th month). I had no issues whatsoever getting it up & running--it was a seamless installation. Giving the app the ability to link to iCal would be an added plus, & I did read at the support web site that the feature is coming! But regardless, if you are looking for a way to dress up your desktop, I give this app 5 stars for creativity & 4 stars for functionality (only because there is no interface with iCal. When that update comes, its 5 stars all around!).

I love the way this app looks, which is why I purchased it. However, I cant recommend it until a core bug is fixed. The app doesnt remember the preferences I set, and keeps going back to the default layout. This is annoying, especially for a $7 app. Please fix this behavior! Thanks.

Just took the latest update for this App which was working just fine. Something has now been introduced into the code that keeps it from properly loading upon startup and there are no help/tips on the internet to correct this bug. What gives for the #2 paid calendar app in Japan and the #1 pain in the rear in the US?

This application has a very clean look and is easy to format to a calendar style of any liking. Unfortunately, there is a 50/50 chance it will show up after sleep mode or startup. I contacted support and received no feedback.
