Review Summary

Users appreciate Shade Calendar for its straightforward functionality that visually marks non-working hours, helping them manage their Google Calendars better by focusing on work times and improving schedule prioritization. It fills a gap in Google Calendar's native features. However, multiple users noted limitations including lack of color customization (especially for dark mode), inability to reverse shading to highlight work hours, occasional inaccuracies in shading times, and insufficient flexibility for varying work schedules. Overall, it is seen as a simple, effective tool that could benefit from more customization features.

Pros

  • Effectively shades non-working hours to help users focus on work hours in Google Calendar.
  • Simple and easy to use, doing exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity.
  • Helps users prioritize and organize their schedules better by visualizing available work times.
  • Fills a functionality gap missing in Google Calendar, fulfilling a long-awaited need.
  • Users find it very useful and handy for managing work-life balance.

Cons

  • Lacks customization options for shading colors, especially for dark mode users who want darker grays instead of white.
  • No option to reverse shading to highlight only working hours instead of non-working hours.
  • Issues with shading accuracy, such as incorrect times shaded and entire days like Sunday not being shaded when expected.
  • Limited flexibility in selecting specific days or partial hours, making it less suitable for part-time or contract workers.
  • Some complaints about the thickness or style of the hashed shading, with requests for adjustable thickness.
