Best Solution for Churches!
My overall experience has been one of immense delight right for the onset. It was a well answered prayer and a solution to an extreme problem. We had been using Squarespace’s calendar option, and it’s nice because it’s built in, but it did not offer the flexibility and complexity that Timely offers. Timely not only offers it, but makes it extremely simple with a gorgeous UI.
PROSI love how flexible this software is! We have events that repeat throughout the year with random breaks and weeks/days off. This software makes event management a breeze.
CONSThe only con I see, and this is being extremely picky, is the inability to publish my calendar multiple pages throughout my site. However, this could also be a feature oversight on my end.
Reason for choosing Timely Event Management
Timly’s usability was far more simple and at a much better price point. ROI with Timely was far superior than any other calendar option.
Reasons for switching to Timely Event Management
Too cumbersome and clunky.
Vendor Response
Hi Stephen, The team is thrilled with your feedback :) Thanks for being a valued customer and for spreading the word! Regarding the ability to embed your calendar in multiple areas, please connect with us through email or a support ticket on your dashboard and we will be happy to help you!

Very Good Calendar, very customizable interface!
We are currently utilizing Timely as a substitute for an event calendar that our church uses internally, unfortunately we have a separate registration system from that calendar and external integration of registrations are not possible with it either. Timely allows for that seamless appearance that we need with our calendar.
PROSIt is very easy to use, very intuitive. We had a very difficult time finding a web calendar that would seamlessly integrate into our website. Given the manual nature of our calendar input I still find this calendar system to be very efficient and easy to enter all events. The customer service is also very good as well. Any customization or requests that I've had have been resolved in a very timely manner.
CONSAt the current moment there is not an a la carte way to select options that are necessary for us to use. We have the full package as does everyone that uses the software. We currently do not have need for a full event management system complete with ticketing but we are paying for everything as they have upgraded every customer to the same package recently. This did double the cost of the product which caught us off guard a little at first, but considering what we get with that price is well worth the extra.
Reason for choosing Timely Event Management
Timely Event Management calendar was much more robust and customizable. It looked more modern and elegant as a calendar than the other options.
Reasons for switching to Timely Event Management
We decided to build our own website and building a calendar system to go into it doesn't make sense for us.
Vendor Response
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with Timely. We want to continue improving our solution and plans to fit the needs of our customers. Will certainly share your feedback with our teams for future product decisions. Warm Regards, Customer Success Team

Essential to our community's event planning and coordination
We use two calendars. One is open to a select group of organizations and agencies in the backend. They can submit a range of events for their own viewing. They have the option to tag events in a certain way that will sync those events with the other calendar. The other calendar is public. The public calendar contains events from the private calendar as well as submitted events. (The public calendar also back-syncs to the private calendar.) Every week, we send out a newsletter of all events coming up in the next month on the public calendar. In the past, we had three separate staff members handling these three functions - private calendar, public calendar, email. We now have one person who oversees all three, and we make clear that it is the responsibility of the organization posting that their information be clean and accurate. This is a big improvement for us.
PROSWe previously had a disjointed calendaring process that required heavy involvement from multiple staff members. This was tolerated because we function as the calendaring hub in our community, with many agencies and organizations submitting events to our online calendar and newsflash. The use of Time.ly has allowed us to automate and improve the efficiency of the calendaring process. We are still able to carry out the processes that the community depends upon us for without spending the same amount of staff time.
CONSWe have run into a few bugs here and there. The team at Time.ly has been very responsive to our needs and willing to adapt.
Vendor Response
Hi Maya, We really appreciate your comments and how the calendar integrations has helped increasing the productivity for your team. Also happy to hear that the newsletter is something that supports event engagement with your audience. Timely takes pride in creating and updating features that make sense to our customers in different industries. Sincerely, Timely Customer Success Team

Crucial For Keeping Our Patrons Informed
Overall, we've been very happy with the product and customer service has been extremely helpful for us when we've encountered problems.
PROSThe ease of use is the most important aspect of this software. We are easily able to train our staff to use it, so that they can add their events to the calendar as soon as they know about them.
CONSI think their biggest downfall is the lack of a knowledgebase on how use certain aspects of the software. The adding of events is easy and easy to figure out, but linking our events to our Facebook business page is tricker (we don't want it showing up on our PERSONAL Facebook page and the personal page/business page are linked as far as Facebook is concerned), so we haven't done that yet because we don't know exactly HOW to do it.
Reason for choosing Timely Event Management
It was chosen by a person who no longer works her, so I'm not sure what other products were considered at the time that decision was made. We continue to be happy with the software, so we will continue to use it.
Vendor Response
Hi Vicki, We are super happy to know that we can support your business on a daily basis. Regarding the Facebook integration we can surely help you setting it up. Please contact us through email or support ticket on your Timely dashboard. This integration will link your calendar to one designated Facebook Page allowing for auto-sharing of coming events. We look forward to supporting you further :)

Saving time with Timely
I have enjoyed being able to use Timely for our calendar management.
PROSI love being able to put onto multiple calendars simply by tagging with the proper information. I don't have to have multiple places for multiple calendars.
CONSHaving to change the view from tile to streaming in order to delete an event is extra steps that shouldn't be necessary.

Timely Calendar for Community and Planning Calendar
We have had an extremely positive experience with Timely. We began our journey with using one main calendar that we are building for a community calendar. Then we wanted to add a secondary calendar for planning. Timely was able to assist us with our calendar needs easily, quickly and affordable.
PROSWe like the user-friendly front end event submission feature. it allows a submitter to add an event and all details so quickly and easily.
CONSThe only issue we experienced was lack of "Support" articles in the Training section. However this was easily resolved by emailing support. Someone from support always contacts us back in a timely manner and explains things in a clear way and offer real time solutions.
Reasons for switching to Timely Event Management
we needed a more robust and pleasing looking calendar. Timely fit our needs perfectly

Global Unity Calendar for WE The World
We like to publicize the events our partners are doing and those of partners we want to reach out to...and it helps if it is easy to do!
PROSIt's just very easy for me to 'copy and paste' my event on the 'add an event' option' and to upload images.
CONSI sometimes have a difficult time copying images directly from my source to the 'add an event' - the images turn out quite large when I check the posted event while it looks fine before posted.
