OurFamilyWizard to Android

Your OurFamilyWizard calendar, on your Android phone.

On Android, subscribed calendars come through your Google account. Add your OFWSync feed to Google Calendar once and your custody schedule shows up in Google Calendar and Samsung Calendar on your phone, and changes when OFW changes.

What shows up in Android

It's read-only and one-way. We never post, message or change anything in OFW.

Set it up in about five minutes

You only do this once. After that, changes in OFW come through on their own.

Want more detail? Read How to Sync OurFamilyWizard With Google Calendar.

  1. 1 Sign up for OFWSync, then enter your OurFamilyWizard email and password. We check them with OFW and start your first sync, which usually takes a minute or two.
  2. 2 Choose what comes across in Feed settings: parenting time, handoffs, events, or all three. Name each household and pick how far ahead to sync.
  3. 3 On a computer, open your OFWSync dashboard, choose Google and click Add to Google Calendar, then Add. Use the Google account that's on your phone.
  4. 4 On your phone, open Google Calendar, tap the menu, then Settings. Tap the new calendar and make sure Sync is on.
  5. 5 Samsung Calendar shows your Google calendars too, so it appears there once it has synced.
  6. 6 No computer handy? Open calendar.google.com in your phone's browser, ask for the desktop site, and add your feed link under Other calendars → From URL.

How fast changes show up

On Lite, we check OFW once a day; On Plus, we check OFW every hour. Compare plans

Google fetches subscribed calendars on its own schedule, which can take several hours, and your phone then picks up whatever Google has. Your dashboard shows when we last checked OFW.

Your OFW password, handled carefully

OurFamilyWizard has no way to give another app read-only access, so we sign in as you to read your calendar. Your password is encrypted before we store it and used for nothing else, and disconnecting deletes it straight away. How we protect your sign-in

Android questions

Something else on your mind? Visit support.

Does it work with Samsung Calendar?
Yes. Samsung Calendar shows the calendars in your Google account, so add the feed to Google Calendar and it appears in Samsung Calendar once it has synced.
I added it, but it isn't on my phone.
Open Google Calendar on your phone, tap the menu, then Settings, tap the calendar and turn on Sync. Check that your phone uses the same Google account you added it to.
Why can't I add it in the phone app?
Google's Android app can't subscribe to a calendar from a link. It takes a browser, once. After that, it stays in your account.
Can I use Outlook on Android instead?
Yes. Subscribe in Outlook on the web and it shows up in the Outlook app on your phone.

Use a different calendar?

Any calendar app that can subscribe to a calendar by link works too.
