PC MAGAZINE and PC WORLD.
The OneCalendar UI has received positive comments from some who have given us feedback. The ability to set up multiple calendars for different areas of life is a valuable Trumba OneCalendar feature. Events on each calendar show up with a particular color and can be mixed in for a composite view. Example, personal schedule, babysitter schedule, kid's soccer schedule all on separate calendars and they can be viewed mixed in (or not).
An important question: What specific problems are you or your organization looking to solve using Trumba OneCalendar?
If all one needs is a personal calendar that one does not have to share with others, then a "free" calendar service on the web (with ads) or a paper-based calendar could be where the comparison begins. A Trumba OneCalendar subscription is $39.95/year. The free trial allows you to try out the entire feature set.
For the person who needs to share their calendar or events in their calendar with their family or workgroup or with the general public on the web Trumba OneCalendar features might prove to be indispensable. As a company, in addition to delivering a solid web-based personal calendar service, Trumba is actively engaged in creating a compelling offering in the shared web calendaring space.
There are several ways to share whole calendars or individual events using Trumba OneCalendar today. These include:
- sending a scheduled digest of events on a periodic or one-time basis
- publishing a calendar with one or more calendars mixed in, with or without a password
- allowing members of the public to add themselves to the scheduled email distribution list from a published calendar
- using email to email specific events to a friend
- using the share feature to authorize specific Trumba OneCalendar users to edit or be able to view calendar events
- being able to subscribe to calendars that others have published or add events from published calendars to your own calendar
The publish feature offers a simple yet powerful way to professionally publish calendars of events. Some examples:

Additionally, the WSJ review covers some interesting nuances.
Many churches, schools, and small groups are already using Trumba OneCalendar to publish their schedules. When calendars need to be edited by more than one person, organizations and groups are using Trumba OneCalendar. Folks who use Outlook at work, but want to be able to see their work schedule along side with their family schedule are using Trumba OneCalendar. That said, we've found that there are individual constraints that determine whether Trumba OneCalendar is the right tool for a particular person or to solve a particular type of problem. Aside from using the Trumba OneCalendar free trial, perhaps the next best idea would be to post information about the proposed use and see if others can comment or make suggestions.
