This product exactly matched what I needed for an event calendar. Multiple views, controllable access to entry creation, editing etc; readable by anyone or selective. Easy to set up. Shows its pedigree from Dreamweaver
Support is A1, found a couple of challenges with "no military" times ie 12 hour clock. Fixed pdq with clear instruction on what to do. And put into down load from web. The 5 entry version is an adequate demo, well just about, to see if it suits. If suits your needs then very well worth the money. If not then it was worthwhile trying before buying.
In summary good product with professional support - might even try their forms offering!

It works fine for me! Support is very good and fast!
I am definitely NOT an advanced user of Joomla, and needed support about things that sometimes didn't even have to do with the calendar at all, but the support was always prompt, detailed, polite and before all, efficient. I got all my problems fixed in no time and I think the calendar looks very neat and clean. It definitely responds to all my needs (day-by day descriptions of country tours). Well done.
It's great to have all such ways to display the events. I've setup it to share info about the events in a private organization, using Joomla 2.5, works as advised. The developer kindly pointed me to the configuration I was looking for the calendar in my website.
It is a good attempt and it works out of the box, but free version is limited to 5 events only, which is ridiculous. This should be pointed out by the author here in order to prevent wasting time.

That note is present in the product's page before downloading the extension. We have also included a note in this page according to your suggestion.
Thank you for your comments.
Best regards.
I installed it on my extranet website to post and share important project dates and deadlines with my customers and so far I'm satisfied with the calendar, even have been able to set a different calendar skins for each customer which is a not-required but nice personalization of the service. What's missing? a better documentation for the user permissions area could saved me some amount of time and some way to get notices about the updates.
A well done extension, worked fine for me without work arounds required. The views are enough but I'd like to see a feature for importing iCal data for this calendar, I mean a standard way to import/export data from/to other systems, this is something I need for my project.

Thank you for your review and feedback. The support for the iCal format is already in our TO-DO list, I'll let you know when ready.
