We use this plugin to schedule our volunteer shifts at our sports club. After a short trial period, we decided to buy the pro version because the plugin fits our needs perfectly. The support team for the plugin is fast, responsive and very professional. I honestly can’t recommend this plugin enough.

Hi, this plugin is too slow, with a few more calendars it becomes unusable. how can I do? I’ve asked support several times, but they don’t respond

This plugin and the developers supporting it are great. When I asked question about the plugin, the developer implemented the feature in my question even though I had not bought the plugin at that point.
