Is this even a review by wwd?

Moreover, the needed feature that I’m just waiting for someone to get right, is to read our GCal, add a buffer to appointments of our choosing (20 min before, 10 min after, or what-have-you) and display our availability after blocking out other event types and calendars from our GCal. This does nothing of the sort.

So, each day you’ll have to go into Jiffle and update it with other appointments and events you have coming into Google Calendar. You’ll have to keep Jiffle up to date “just in case” someone might want to use your public web calendar to schedule an appointment.

Worse, even though you have repeating events in GCal, since they don’t transfer over, you’ll have to put those events in your Jiffle every week. Also, you can’t set a repeating availability (i.e Mondays from 9am to 5pm, minus 12pm – 1pm). You’ll have to do that for every Monday.

I hate to say it’s “lame” because I see the potential. If they could shore up their interface (which is cheeky at best), add these “features” (although I hate to call them features because without them, it’s largely useless), then I think they’d be 90 percent there. Until then, I hope WWD does a little better job of scoping out an app before just repeating their press release.

Yet to use Jiffle, but will do soon!

What about their revenue model, I wonder!
