Product Description:

SOHO Calendars is the easiest way to share calendars on Mac OS X. Shared calendars, events, and to-dos show up automatically in Apple's iCal where they can viewed and edited. A change made to a shared calendar on one user's machine automatically shows up in everyone else's iCal. SOHO Calendars is perfect for managing meetings, group projects and shared to-do lists.

The software update system now provides additional information regarding cost and system requirements of updates

Fixed crash that would sometimes occur when synchronizing an offline database to the server database
The software now recognizes the correct first day of the week when setting up recurring events, tasks
Newly created/deleted calendars now show up immediately in all calendar windows

Added ability to synchronize the created and modified dates for notes
Added the SOHO Sync version number to the sync log
Increased the timeout of sync sessions from 30 seconds to 1 hour to avoid dropped sync sessions
Made major performance optimization to the synchronization of contact and calendar multi-value data
Added a workaround to the Sync Services bug where sync sessions that take longer than 10 minutes to start are inadvertently dropped
Added a workaround for an Apple bug where cleared addresses, phone numbers, etc. cause Apple's Address Book sync client to quit mid-sync
Fixed problem synchronizing addresses, phone numbers, etc when the contact itself hadn't yet been synced
Fixed problem where some attendees attached to events showed up as "common name" instead of their real name
Fixed problem where adding an attendee to an event in a shared database sometimes resulted in the wrong attendee being synchronized

What you get for that much money is beyond description. I was mainly interested in the calendar function. For many months I have been looking at windows promising that this (basic) function is being worked on to be passed on to iCal then!!!! Nothing new has been added for a long time. Request mails are not answered. I feel robbed.

This product is incredibly weak, and I would loose neither time nor money on it.

The calendar app is a list view for iCal, and little more; the contacts is just AB dressed up; the notes have been implemented better in other apps, and the original strength of a fully integrated personal organizer (which I have used 4-5 years) is not to be expected in a year's time, if ever; given Chronos' record of (lack of) support, I would steer clear of this product.

Sad but true.
