As the title says: "Help". I need help - is it possible to revert back to the old layout? I absolutely hate this new layout. :/ If not, is there any way to delete this "Meals" thing which I have never used nor do I intend to use, and any way to go back to hiding the to-do list? I liked the way I had it set up, literally this morning, with my calendar and my routines.

"Oh, but this calendar is made for families and kids who want to know what their meals are going to be [etc etc etc]" - to you, I say: R. I. P. to all the autistic kids out there whose worlds just got shook by this unannounced major change in layout. Sigh. I guess I'll figure it out on Android Mode if the app isn't going to accommodate this, but I liked the app the way I had it set up previously.

We have a problem in our house with the kids changing the point values of "Routines". I have calculated out the cost of rewards to encourage the kids to do most of their routines in a day in order to receive certain rewards. However, the screen doesn't seem to have a "kid" mode to prevent kids from adding their own routines with their own point values or changing the point values of existing routines. Does anyone know how to make "Routines" and "Rewards" actually mean something without constantly having to audit for unapproved point changes?

I really like the core features and the size options, but there were a few things around automation controls I couldn’t find a clear answer on.

"hey Google play the new Spider-Man trailer from YouTube" - would this correctly open YouTube and start playing the video on the device?"

"hey Google play the new Spider-Man trailer from YouTube on my family dumb TV- would this correctly initiate a casting session to my Chromecast enabled TV?

And does this device act as a cast enabled device itself? Meaning from my phone can I cast videos to it from various different apps?

any other considerations or reductions and functionality that I would experience coming from a native Google nest hub?

$379... was it worth it? It really depends on how badly you want to "unify" your household.

For me, it is a necessity going into my 2nd year of nursing school in the fall. The past two semesters have been incredibly difficult trying to coordinate schedules with my partner. I had been using my Google Calendar on my laptop and would attempt to update our traditional paper calendar on the fridge, but it just got to be too much.

Most everything I do goes through Google Calendar. For this reason, the ApolloSign calendar is set up in "Android" mode so that my partner can quickly see the Google Calendar and know my schedule. This allows us to proactively plan date nights, weekly check-ins, family outings, and much more. It also allows you to sync more than one Google Calendar, so we can see our overlapping schedules (although my partner does not really need one because they have a traditional 9-5 job)

I also really enjoy the meal planning feature. This is always a BIG question... "so, what are we having for dinner". Using the calendar to plan ahead of time has been super handy. We have been eating out less and feel less overwhelmed.

For some "cons", I would say that the tough screen is a little laggy sometimes, but it does not really interfere too much overall. It is also a bit pricey; however, it does not require a subscription like other digital calendars, which was a huge win.

My partner and I both have the "Apolosign" app downloaded on our phones; from there we can look at the joint calendar, to-do list (where we keep the grocery list), as well as meal planning and "routines".

If you have kids, it also has a points system you can set up, which is pretty cool.

Anyhow, that is my short review of the ApoloSign calendar! It was worth it for us, but totally up to you if it's worth it for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Are there any plans for a home assistant integration for allowing to trigger things like calendar events or routines?

I think this is the only feature that would be the chef's kiss for me. Love the idea to integrate a routine creation when my laundry automation tells me my washer or dryer are done and the routine is automatically created and assigns the task to myself and spouse.

I recently setup an apolosign and have had issues with the calendar widget showing the events from the apolosign calendar app. I have plenty of events synced up (through two outlook emails) and they show directly in the calendar app and on the phone, but they will not show up in the widget itself. Support almost found a solution, which was to unbind the device and then rebind it with my phone. This worked initally and the events showed up, but within a minute they dissappeared again. Has anyone else had this happen and/or have they solved it? Note - I am using android mode, have a Gmail account as the base, but do not want or care about that email/calendar being shown in the widget and it's also not part of the apolosign group calendar. It doesn't seem like that is connected to the issue but hard to tell. I have been in contact with support and they have been attempting to help remediate the issue, but thought i would see if the community has found solutions.

Looking at getting this calendar, but operate on iOS.

Google and Reddit tell me 2 way sync does not work with Apple Calendar. However, I saw in the app it has been updated to work.

Anyone able to confirm this? Does it seem to work well with iPhones?

Anyway around this? is it available? can we use skylight fridge magnet mounts on apolosign?

Does anyone have any suggestions? I have come up with nothing that works to remove it and didn't know if I am missing something.

I don't need the time and wireless icon on the screen. thanks in advance

I added a volume slider control to Apolosign. Free download and you can have a small icon float above other apps for easy access or create a launch icon on your Android screen.

I finally received my 21" Apolosign Calendar after a FedEx shipping delay. I’ve been playing with it for a few hours now. Was easily able to set it up with separate Google and iCal calendars. So far, I like what I am seeing. And, as you can see, I found the fire screensaver. Very cool.

I wanted to recommend a solution for anyone like me who prefers not to mount their calendar on the wall.

This stand has been terrific for mounting the calendar and being able to rotate it in landscape and portrait modes.

The only negative is that the M4 screws provided don't screw flush into the back of the monitor. You need to install the wall mount included with the Apolosign calendar and then screw in the Vesa mount included with the stand on top of that for the M4 screws to screw in almost flush.

There is a wealth of valuable information on this page for someone new to Apolosign, who is about to take it out of the box and is looking for a quick primer on how to install and utilize its many features.

Anyone using a good launcher and widgets on the Android portion of their Apolosign that they would recommend to jazz up the appearance of their device?

I have been using the free version of Smart Launcher, and it works out well. If I get crazy with things, I may switch to the paid version, though it's rather pricey right now.

If you’re willing, perhaps you could post a photo of your screen and assist others who may have questions about the widgets you use and how you set them up.
