What customers say

Virto Calendar App

"This tool has a lot of functionality available at your fingertips. It seamlessly integrates with O365 and MS Teams and has a lot of settings, such as recurring events, color-coding, and overlaying multiple calendars. Great support team. Very good value for this money + 30-day trial for checking the functionality."

Frank Fitzgerald

I was skeptical at first, but this app has actually made our messy scheduling way more manageable. Color tagging is super helpful. Still figuring out some of the settings but overall, solid tool.

Tom Richards

It really helps me keep track of team deadlines and personal stuff too. The syncing with Teams works fine (a few hiccups at first, but now it's smooth). Took me a bit to get used to the interface, but once I did, it just clicked.

Sandra L.

Powerful tool packed with smart features. Being able to automate recurring events and sync across our organization saved us hours every week. It's flexible, reliable, and surprisingly user-friendly for such a robust calendar solution.

Michael Dorsey

Pretty happy with how it works so far. I mostly use it to organize team check-ins and deadlines. Doesn't crash, which is already a win in my book.

Jason T.

Virto Shared Calendar

" From the first login, everything felt familiar. The layout is clean, and options are where you expect them to be. It's clear the developers paid attention to real-world user needs. "

Jack Coleman

Really useful for our remote team. Before this, we kept messing up time zones and missing meetings. This isn't super fancy, but that's probably why it works—simple and clear.

Noor A.

The layout's clean, which I appreciate. No unnecessary fluff. We finally stopped overlapping meetings, so that's a win.

Chloe Bennett

We started using the shared calendar just to keep track of vacation days, but now we use it for pretty much everything—team events, launches, even birthdays. It's simple and doesn't get in the way.

Jen H.

Everyone sees the same calendar now, so there's a lot less 'I didn't know about that meeting.' It does what we need without overcomplicating things.
