Review summary

Users praise Tools for Boox for its powerful, well-designed calendar and planner functions tailored to Boox e-ink tablets, with responsive developers actively improving it. However, multiple users report interface rendering issues on some devices, difficulty writing without stylus support, syncing problems especially with Google Calendar events appearing on incorrect days, and lack of cross-device synchronization. Additionally, they desire better support for larger screens and improved usability features.

Pros

Great calendar and planner functionalities specifically designed for Boox e-ink tablets.
Developer is very responsive and actively improving the app.
The app is feature-rich and more powerful than other calendar apps for Boox.
Users appreciate the overall design and concept of the app.
It integrates with Google Calendar and imports events to the e-ink device.

Cons

App interface and menus are often smooshed and unreadable on certain Boox devices like Palma 2.
Writing input is problematic or impossible without a stylus on some models; users are unsure how to enable writing on certain devices.
Google Calendar events sometimes sync on the wrong day (a day late).
Lack of sync across multiple devices is a limitation for some users.
The app's design is not optimized for larger Boox tablets; users request scaling and flexibility for bigger screens.

2025-01-03	Br*****	This looks really cool, boy am I glad I typed "boox" into the play store to see what came up - this as a calendar/planner looks really awesome! I kinda wish it was several separate apps rather than one though - Calendar, Template manager, TeamDrawer all seem like they should be independent apps rather than one all-in-one. Otherwise a launcher shortcut to just open the calendar/planner would be really nice. But it's pretty awesome as-is!

2024-09-13	Ch*****	Great app, and is so close to what I want/need. The only hiccup I have is that events that sync from Google come in on the wrong day. They are all a day late. Any hints? I am on a Book Air 3 C with the lates firmware.

2024-04-15	Bl*****	Amazing application that helps a lot, thank you so much!! <3 However, I would love to see some minor fixes: - It would be amazing to have lasso crop - paste to move notes if I want to insert something above - In the weekly view notes, it would be nice to be able to move left-right to the next week to directly transfer to-dos of the week - It is extremely responsive to the touch of my hand and even if I write in the week view, it jumps to daily view because the side of my hand barely touched it

2023-11-21	Ja*****	I love the design and the whole idea. However I do not know, how to write into the calendar. It seems impossible on my new Boox Air Note 3C. What shall I do to enable writing?

2023-10-07	An*****	Awesome. Just found it for my onyx boox note. Any change to make it usable for other Android with stylus like Samsung Note or Mipad?

2023-09-29	Na*****	I just started using the app and I love it. Thanks! Is there a way to display calendars which I subscribed to in my Google account in the calendar of Tools for Boox? For now it only displays events which I created with my own Google account. Thanks.

2023-03-19	Jo*****	Great e-ink calendar + templates For boox e-ink tablets, this is a great calendar app, better thought-out and powerful than boox cal app and several other paid apps that are just elaborate PDF files. There's more functionality here -- e.g. it imports google calendar entries into where you use e-ink. Developer is very responsive. Essential app for boox.
