Google Calendar for Android
1.) I would like to see some personalization in the holidays. "Holidays in Canada" is too vast; let us choose which holidays to show within the selected country 2.) A dark theme would be nice 3.) Sync almost never works. When I make changes, I have to uninstall and then reinstall so it will update. And it must be done on each device. Sometimes that doesn't work. Only one device updates and the other keeps old dates I no longer need to see. Your apps and policies have really made me hate you Google, I hope your happy
It's a good app overall, but there a few little issues that need to be fixed. 1. Make month view default 2. Make it easier to turn off the gym schedule feature 3. Right now it is lagging when trying to tap and open up a single day from month view single 4. Make it easier to selectively edit which birthdays and holidays you want showing 5. Make an easy to use copy and paste feature for events
This thing is becoming a mess. It lags like crazy for the first 15 seconds after opening it. Also, it's difficult to open a date if there are already events on the date. You have to tap the tiny date, and none of the events, or it won't work. Who thought that was a good idea? Frustrating experience now.
Google does a good job of integrating the Android calendar with the desktop version. But the 3 stars are because the calendar in landscape mode does not allow alteration of the view-mode. There is only the week view, even on a tablet. I can't switch to day view or 3-day view. I have to say, the best calendar I have seen and used is the Huawei Mediapad 3. It's very well thought out, so if you can find the APK of that, give it a try.
Stop marking us fool. In the name of update the same calendar function it's reintroduced several times. If u really wish to make any change y don't u copy sine good things from Sony Xperia jellybean handset calendar. It also was Google buy much Better
This app is superb, love it as a calendar and keeping things organized. The only thing I dislike is not being able to set month-view as the default. Day-view seems to close up to me, I like to be able to look at a bigger scale because I'm usually looking at my calendar for days of the month not my day-to-day tasks.
Loved it until recent update is causing the app to hang 10-15 seconds after initiating the app. Please fix the lag! LG G5 with Marshmallow. Not sure why people are having issue with monthly view. Hit the monthly and when going back into the app, hit the back button if it's only showing weekly and should default to monthly next time you open the calendar.
Still room for improvement, but an ok calendar app. The months should flow vertically, not horizontally, in the month view. It's supposed to be replicating a calendar. When I pan left and right, there are briefly two sets of the same dates at the end and beginning of the months visible in the animation and it looks poorly thought out. If you pan up and down in a proper calendar format, the end of the month becomes the beginning of the month. Simple and elegant.
It stops synchronizing and I can't get it to refresh no matter what settings I mess with. So I have to uninstall it and then reinstall it. It still doesn't work. This app runs my life but I am having to look at something else now. :-(
S calenders is not either juvenile icons it is got my business I am not a.Kid in pre kinder years I need a.professional calendar. Plain and not a .joke. I am embarrassed to try to it. No one at google can work it for adults I am offended to have it on my phone.
I would give 5 stars if it was able to work properly with invites coming from the Exchange synced calendar. Right now, if you accept an invite you will spam the organisers with the message that says you accepted the invitation. The same message is sent over and over again.
Was a great app. The last update caused the app to not function correctly when in the month mode. When you tap on an event to bring it up to see, it does nothing. It just sits there on the monthly calendar.
Every time I open this app it asks if I want to sync. Shouldn't it do that automatically without asking me? If it doesn't sync, then how will I know about appointments or event alerts? Other than that it's not bad. Edit: It now syncs without asking me now, I am happy.
I cannot stand the schedule view. To crowded. Make the whole month default or give an option to do so. When I do change view to whole month and tap a day to create an appointment or event it takes me to the schedule view for me to tap it there too. Please change!
Awesome app, I've been using this app for months. Unfortunately, daylight savings time is completely broken within the app, rendering it unusable because my events are now one hour off, and no settings to manually shut off daylight savings is present within the app. I was able to rescue some of my events by modifying the time zone to Greenwich Mean Time; however, Daylight savings time is STILL applied on select events for no apparent reason, even tho we don't observe here in Arizona, or in the Greenwich time zone. A bug like this a complete deal breaker, sorry.
Love the pictures but hate the events and birthdays display together (birthday are events anyways). Couldn't find easier way too turn this off. Other than that.... hope for another updates like stickers, themes or something... Fortunately... I love the pictures so much.
It's great... Except once in a while a time frame will not show as I have typed it in (eg. 7am - 2pm will show as 11:30am - 5pm). Not cool when I'm submitting my work hours.
Used to be snappy. Past two updates, app is very disappointing due to heavy lag/delay. I can wait minutes between actions and response. Love the abilities, presentation/layout. I will change to 5 star if problem is corrected In the next update. If not corrected, I will unfortunately use a different app.
If it had copy & paste and the ability to change the calendar that an event belongs to in the edit screen it would be my calendar app of choice. Without these two features it's just taking up space on my phone. Lastly, why does Google have the worst change log of any apps after an update? How about telling us what's new when you update your apps?
Usually really good, let's me keep track of all my calendar events both personal and work. However with the latest update it is very sluggish when there are a lot of events. The device is Nexus 5.
Problems since nougat update. The screen seems to freeze. I open the calendar but when I tap on the day or "add event" button, nothing happens. Or it will take a very long time for the next screen to come up. I need the app to be as responsive as it used to be. I love so many features of this app! The integration is terrific.
Great interface and everything. Have been using for years over 3 phones without issue. Now, the app seriously shows down or freezes when I try to do anything. Changing views, creating events, or even opening the side bar can cause this.
This app was excellent. But the last update has degraded it to the lowest grade. When I click on some calendar item to edit, it doesn't open quickly as before. I need to tap 4 to 5 times to open it
Please fix..The past few days when I try to click on a day in my calendar, it does not respond. I have to push many times before it registers. Once it is on an individual day it functions fine.
What kind of sick freak thinks anyone has time to touch Done twice?! What is this, communist Malaysia? AND WHY GET RID OF ANYTHING USEFUL??? Repeat? Nope, try More Options. Okay... How about Until? NOPE LOLOLOL
Just ok. How do I get rid of the cartoons taking up useless space on the calendar? Style over function. UPDATE - figured out how to turn off those god awful cartoons. But why make such a simple thing so difficult? Not so easy on the eyes. Still have an issue with the sea of white that is Google design. I still get goofy cartoons for birthdays, etc which irritates me to no end. OK but theres better out there.
STILL MY BIGGEST REGRET OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR IS UPDATING THIS APP AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CHANHE THE TIME IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME!!!!!!!! Can the current event *not* take up the entire day's width? Seems dumb that I can't long press in a space to add a second event to overlap. There's room for it... Ok seriously I'm wasting 2 hours scrolling through the minutes with this Feb '17 update.
Completely unusable due to unresponsiveness, hangs and crashes. When in month view, if I slide to next month or tap on a day it freezes for 10 seconds and then half of the times crashes. I cannot use the best calendar app any more. 1 star.
I like the app BUT it always defaults to week view. I would like to be able to pick the default view I like. On my Samsung tablet it stays in month view. But on my Samsung Note 5 it keeps defaulting to week view. Fix this and you get 5 stars....
The older versions were much better. This one tries to fill in the blanks. And 99% of the time its wrong. Just give me a line for date, time, etc. Will look for better one
After update error message pops up repeatedly. Unable to use phone. Have to disable completely. Please fix. Still unable to use the calendar app!!!!
Calendar will not sync prior to 2016. Everything I've had has disappeared. Very important dates and events just gone. Very disappointed
It was good and even my favorite app until the most recent update. Now its quite hard to press on dates that have a lot of reminders or events. Pls fix this google.
This usually a great app, I much prefer it to my preset on my xperia. However, I have had issue an with button presses not registering. Very annoying. Fix please.
Cosmetic updates prioritised over user choice. I only use this because it's required for aCalendar+ a front end that allows me to make it look like every diary everyone in the world uses. No PIM ever bettered Lotus Organiser. I suggest you buy that and adapt it for Android.
Way too many updates for a simple calandar, do you even test your releases. How can the biggest company in the world be so unprofessional on the app marked????
Earlier it was good but now this app is pathatic. Flight booking schedule not showing even after getting mail on my gmail account. In month view calender is lagging and not opening after taping on the event.
Nice app. Nice widget. Wrong colour! Wish i could use it. Visual impairments still not considered. STILL NEEDS A DARK THEME. WHY IS GOOGLE SO INTRANSIGENT?
Works well, though all my schedules from exchange are showing one hour off and i had to manually change my tile zone and put one hour less on my clock for it to show correctly in the calendar. Hopefully it is because of daylight saving and will be soon ok.

*Another review with the same issue. Also the colour choice is much better when setting defaults than is available in the main calendar. Why is this?! Please can you make a wee update that would allow me to name the colours as categories! I love having my calendar entries colour coded depending on what they are, but hate having to remember what colour each type of event should be. This is such a simple wee thing that would make me love this sooo much more. Please please please do it.
