Teamup Calendar for Android

This app functions, but the usability is far better on android. I find myself frequently frustrated by little quirks in this version which make the app much more annoying to use. The ability to pull down an event to close it is active all over the event, and if I scroll up too fast it tries to close it which is very annoying. Every other time I click into the notes portion it auto scrolls me to the bottom. This is probably the most annoying thing. I place newest notes at the top as that is read first and is most convenient. Having to scroll up means I trigger the first issue constantly. Perhaps depending on where one clicks it puts the cursor at the very end OR the very beginning so I don’t have to drag the cursor before all of my text. The upload button to place pictures in the notes portion is very strange too. It typically inserts the pictures wherever my cursor is, however if if I don’t add a few lines inbetween above text the pictures seem to delete it. If I spend too long in the picture selection pop up my written text will be gone when I get back. To change the color label on an even while editing other parts I have to save between each step. If I change the label and then add pictures the label reverts. If I add pictures and change the label my pictures are gone. I hope these get fixed soon as the app is basically functionally and the user experience on android is already perfect. Thank you!

Need subscription to “team up”

I thought this calendar was perpetual. I just realized it is keeping history for only 1 year. My family needs a calendar to keep track of medical appointments history, as well as other history. It had been particularly useful for our daughter, who has traumatic brain injury memory issues. She appreciated being able to go back and look up something she had done. Plus good for aging parents also with increasing memory issues! Other than that, it has been good for multiple family members to avoid conflicts in scheduling multiple items. Paid version is too expensive for family use, and it is not a full perpetual calendar either, still lose info after a few years. Would work if could export to pdf with all notes, but don’t believe this can be done either.

I started using this calendar for our office employees. It was the best I had come across in a long time. It was the easiest to add new appointments to our schedule and easily post vacation days for employees to view (only 9 employees and we avoid more than a couple of people off at one time). Easy to invite or remove people from a calendar share & views are customizable. If there was anything I could change it would be an alert for anyone following a calendar and customizable so that anyone not needing the alert could shut it off without affecting the other people getting an alert. At this point the only possible alert system with this app is an email which is virtually useless since it isn’t feasible for us to all have notifications for an email turned on our phones. The next change I would make is having the ability to look back at old calendar years. It’s come to my notice that after we used this app for more than a year, our entries are no longer available after a year. Since we made the mistake of relying solely on this app to schedule employees, now I have no way of looking back to see who took which holiday and who was bad about shirking responsibilities for coverage. At the very least this should have been communicated to users from the developers so that we could either purchase a version allowing for this or make it a policy to printing each calendar month before Teamup removed the information from the database. Trying to save a tree and use an electronic version of our good old dependable pen & paper calendar has been a bad move for us. Currently looking for a calendar that doesn’t remove our content.

The app is very limited compared to features and usability of the web app. Also, I was very disappointed that you can’t define timezone separately for start and end times. I was entering information for a trip that crosses time zones and could not change the timezones when creating the event. Many views are advertised but the Agenda view does not show days with no events so that you can see a full schedule for a date range in a list format. This service is off to a good start but missing some of those basic features that are in other calendar apps. Pros: Import/Export, Custom Fields, Easy sharing.
