Software Reviews and Criticism

  Close to great but missing usability

  I can't find a way to narrow the appointments it shows me besides option-clicking individual appointments. Only some meetings and calls are worth worrying about but with a full calendar, it gets cluttered and not useful. Give us an option to quickly check off the critical meetings for the day in the option-click view. It also doesn't let you choose the data:time format. If the OS is set to 24-hour, why does this app only show 12-hour times? Bad app behavior to override the OS format and not give any options. It may not be their fault, but colors for calendars and appointments would be nice too. If I've noted calendar entries with colors/categories in Outlook I'd love to see that reflected or even keeping the different calendars as different colors on the pull-down would be good. Good effort, but not useful unless you have only a few appointments to look out for. But in that case, do you really need something like this?

  Essential for anyone meeting over VC

  Next Meeting is my most effective outboard brain these days: It tells me how much time I have to focus when my next meeting starts. When it does, I can easily pull up the meeting. (Side note: If you get annoyed by zoom opening a browser tab, I recommend using Hammerspoon & the URLDispatcher spoon, which lets you invoke the zoom meeting-starter app immediately if a "zoom meeting" URL is opened). Two suggestions that would make Next Meeting absolutely fantastic: One, I would love to have some more visual separation between past meetings and the present / upcoming ones. Two, if I have conflicting meetings starting at the same time, NM picks a seemingly-random one, and that gets confusing quickly. It would be great if it could show all meetings currently scheduled & let users select the one to connect to.

  I love the app, but wish it had a direct GCal integration

  I have six different emails that I daily drive, and I often get meetings/calls mixed up. This app has been a Godsend and has allowed me to take control of my meetings. The only issue that I have with it is that I don't want to use Microsoft Calendar. It is a long story, but when I add my calendars to Microsoft Calendar, a bunch of issues surface, streams get crossed, and all of my co-workers' calendars (that I subscribe to) get added my personal calendar as duplicates. I just wish that this app had a direct GCal integration so that I did not have to rely on Microsoft Calendar. Once I stop using Microsoft Calendar, all of my issues go away, so it is definitely related to that.

  Terrific

  This app is very handy now that I'm working from home and all my meetings are on Zoom. I much prefer having this info in the system tray rather than coming at me sporadically in notifications. Small request: I wish when I used my quick key that it could open the Zoom app directly, rather than opening a browser and then Zoom. Grateful and happy to be a supporter.
