#2This is hilarious!
The screenshot graphic on the home page didn't show up in my web browser but the apple store listing shows what it looks like.
I've known people that would use this so I expect they'll sell quite a few.
Made me laugh thinking about them.

#3This is brilliant and I love it. Fortunately, I'm in (U.S.) academia, so other than one colleague, nobody tries to use outlook etc. calendars at me, but if they did I'd buy this in a hot second.

#5This is a very funny idea. Would be nice to see more options for customizing event titles in the future.

#6For sure this will burn you at work eventually if you use it. That said, if you need this, maybe you need to actually brush up your CV and find a job that doesn't destroy your productivity with meetings :)

I’d say 75% of requests for meetings I get conflict with something already in my calendar. Nobody bothers checking it before just flinging something in at a time that’s good for them, despite everyone’s calendar being visible to everyone else in the company, and having support for finding a free slot.

#9Square’s appointment service has a similar feature where it can block off appointment slots so customers can’t book. Presumably a fake-it-til ya make it feature.

As someone who is often trying to schedule C-level people in meetings, I can honestly promise there is no such thing as a "free slot". Eventually, one offers a decent meeting time and let the invitees sort out their own priorities.
