Frequently asked questions

Why are my events missing?

Check calendar access for CalenCanvs in device Settings, then choose visible calendars in the app. Make sure a calendar account has been added to the device.

Does it work with Google Calendar and iCloud?

CalenCanvs does not log into these services directly. It reads calendars that your device makes available through Apple EventKit, including supported accounts you add in device calendar settings.

Can I edit or delete events?

CalenCanvs is read-only. Use your usual calendar app to change events.

Is Group Sharing paid?

Personal use is free and needs no sign-in; only Group Sharing is paid. One owner subscription covers one board for up to six people, and invited members pay nothing extra. Shared viewing, editing and sync stop when the subscription ends. You can use the same shared board on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
