Frequently asked questions

Why are my events missing?

Check calendar access for CalenCanvs in device Settings, then choose visible calendars in the app. Make sure a calendar account has been added to the device.

Does it work with Google Calendar and iCloud?

CalenCanvs does not log into these services directly. It reads calendars that your device makes available through Apple EventKit, including supported accounts you add in device calendar settings.

Can I edit or delete events?

CalenCanvs is read-only. Use your usual calendar app to change events.

Can I share a board with family or another device?

Version 1.0 does not support board synchronization or cloud sharing. You can view plans and drawings together on the same device.
