WordPress
-
Sugar Calendar is now my go-to calendar due to its simplicity with adding new events. I’ve found that it was so much easier for my clients to use than some of the other event/calendar plugins out there while providing the features they needed most. -
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!
-
Sugar Calendar does all that I need. I have never had a problem with it, and support has been responsive when I had questions. It’s easy to install, simple to configure. It looks great on my WordPress theme.
-
Sugar Calendar is intuitive, and very user friendly. I love that the learning curve to use the calendar is so low. Even my non-tech clients can get their heads around it.
-
Sugar Calendar is a selective and useful approach for time management and scheduling. It gives the exact appointment to the right person, and all the reminders are well set.
-
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. It’s extremely user friendly and the simplicity of creating events, adding details, and more make this an amazing plugin.
-
This is an incredibly solid plugin to use as a base. I’ve tried several others, and this one is better than all the others I’ve tried!
-
Huge fan! Love the simple nature of this plugin. Perfect for a site that just needs a basic calendar with none of the bloat that comes along with The Events Calendar.
-
I was just looking for a simple calendar to display a short events list inside a sidebar and a calendar on a single page. This plugin accomplishes this exactly as expected and, unlike the other many calendar plugins, this one provides two blocks which include the events list and also the calendar.
