Before our main review lands, here's our deep dive into Rise to see if it is right for you:
Good work from the team @emieljanson, @rickpastoor etc. ✅
It is one of the smoothest calendar apps that meets my needs. I love the flexible event concept, allowing me more focused time. I'm looking forward to how it competes with the likes of Cron and Amie.
I have been searching for a long time for a product that would benefit teams that work in different time zones. It's tough to sync agendas when you are unaware of your colleague's availability overseas. Rise made it easy to see people schedule accordingly with their time zones and find spots that benefit the whole team.
An improvement idea would be giving people stats on how they are investing their time and what to do to increase productivity with health habits.
