This latest version is a mess. I can’t uncheck or check different calendars. Have uninstalled and reinstalled four times and no change. As a result I have events showing 3x. Nightmare.

I expected better from Google. This is a feature they claim to have but don’t.

I used to love this app and tell all my friends to get it, too. I loved the color coding and the features. It was great! But for the last 2 months it has been a disaster. It takes forever to open, and when it does, it is not responsive to touch/tapping on the screen and I can’t even use it! It barely ever opens within a minute and when it does I can’t even tap an appointment to get the details or to edit it, or to make a new appointment. So frustrating. Boo

The app didn’t adapt to Daylight Savings. It moved some of my appointments an hour ahead and didn’t move others. For example, it moved my work scheduled to accommodate the time change, but about two thirds of my doctor’s appointments (that were scheduled before the time change) were left untouched, so they were marked as an hour earlier than they were supposed to. In the last 3 weeks, I’ve arrived to 3 separate appointments an hour early because that’s how they were marked in the calendar. So if you have events to keep track of and would like to arrive on time, this is not the app for you.

Edited: The back arrow is back! Hooray! Original: I hate schedule view and exclusively use month view. It used to be that tapping on an event in month view to see details would show schedule view, but give you an arrow button in the top left to quickly get back to month view. That's apparently gone now, and there's an extra step to open the sidebar menu and tap on month view. It's a tiny thing to complain about, I know, but it's still annoying.

I'll adjust this review and stars when they fix the bugs... My app doesn't sync with my calendar on imported calendars. The desktop app has all my imported and subscribed calendars correct, but the app has to be uninstalled and reinstalled to keep up 🤷🏻‍♀️🤬. Come on Google, you're better than this.

They’re getting pretty bad and they don’t seem to want to fix them.

I’m a google guy who loves apple hardware/software. They integrate incredibly well with one another. Would love a bigger widget option (lots of meetings). Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Thank you for listening to feedback! My super fast Google Calendar is back. No more hanging and crashing!

Love google calendar allows me to manage my personal and freelancing calendar. I do miss appointments though sometimes, as I keep forgetting to add notification. It’s an issue as I have to enable notification for each and every event I schedule and after accepting an incoming invite I have to remember go to my calendar and edit it just to add a notification. Obviously I miss doing that as it is additional step(s) and is not prominently placed when creating an apt. Request to add a Notification default option under my settings that allows me setup a default notification settings (None, 15 min, 1 day, etc) that will automatically apply to all new apt I create or receive (and respond accept/maybe) from others. Off-course I can change that while creating /edit, like other default settings. Thanks

I absolutely ADORE Google Calendar. It’s my most used app as I’m very meticulous with my schedule so I’m constantly adding or adjusting events. I genuinely have no complaints, but I DO have one little request. I’d love to see more color options for events. I color code everything and the limited selection makes it kind of hard to accurately coordinate some of my events/work. I know it’s a little thing, but I think I’d actually cry tears of joy if we got a pallet expansion. Other than that, I love this app and think you guys are killing it! :)

Largely I enjoy this app. The ability to sync schedules with my family has been a lifesaver. However, it makes me absolutely crazy that I cannot change which calendar an event goes to within the app. So if I add an event in the app on my phone, it automatically goes to the “default” calendar which is essentially the calendar I last used on the desktop. I have to then go to my desktop version to get the event in the right place. This added step drives me crazy because sometimes I forget to change it on the desktop and then the event gets missed by my family. NEW: On the task list, I wish the “due date” would stay on the date it was originally assigned to rather than rolling forward. Especially on recurring tasks because I end up questioning myself when there are two there: did I just forget to check something off? When was the duplicate originally assigned? Sometimes I miss things and I’d rather immediately see when it was actually due rather than it just becoming a new item for the new day.

The new update of the app doesn’t let me check and uncheck the different calendars inside the app… please fix this ASAP!

Best app ever. Saved my life!!

Neve came across to a calendar as good as native Samsung calendars. Super user friendly and easy on the eye. Google is not known for that. Always trying to look “cool” by old outdated description gm and layouts. Considering how big the company is and the choice of designers they can hire for the job this is just weird. Looks like just any crappy calendar that is on the market with not very user friendly design and toysRus colors. Step up google. And same goes to Apple native calendar. Hasn’t improved for that last 15 years.

PLEASE add the option to view the calendar app not in dark mode... Just because my phone is in dark mode doesn't mean I want all my apps in dark mode. This is definitely one I want the option to change it if I want. C'mon Google. Don't do me like that. It's a great app. I also agree with the reviewer who asked for more color options within the app for events. Update with choice for dark mode please??! Thanks 🙏

I would like Google to make the icon display on the Home Screen to reflect the actual day of the month instead of 31.

My app is showing me the correct date, but the wrong day of the week on my phone screen. It’s never done this before this update. Please fix because I love everything else about the app!

please support

I REALLY wish the icon I see for the calendar would reflect the current date, instead of the 31. It is a calendar after all, I would to glance at the I on for the current date rather then open the app.

The widget is showing it starting the week on Sat, even though I chose Sunday, but the date for today is right. What the…?

Reason I have this app is for notification by email. Though I get the email, notifications are not shown even though it is set to. Very disappointed.

I like this calendar app. My employer uses Google Workspace and I have been a big Google applications user since Gmail was first released (and my younger daughter in college invited me!!). My main beefs are: 1. There are features missing from the iPhone app that i really really could use, like setting a time frame to “Out of office”, which automatically declines New and optionally Existing meetings. I need this a lot. This is a feature in the Chrome desktop and in the iPad app. 2. Not enough colors to code my meetings. The colors enable me to see at a glance which customers I have meetings with in a day as well as what kind of internal meetings I have. There are 12 colors available and I know that Google can allow more since if I add an external calendar there are 24 with an option to add more customer colors. This seems to be rather arbitrary. So these are two productivity issues that, if resolved, would have me give a full 5 stars.

Why

you can’t edit or remove content so deleted calendar reinstalled all the horrible stuff still there no way to remove never

I have always used the Google Calendar app and it has been great, but lately, the app has been declining. I prefer to look at my calendar in month view, but after clicking on any day, there is no convenient way to go back to month view. 😩 I have to click on the left hamburger icon and click month view. Suggestion: the day that is tapped in month view, make it a pop up view instead of an all-screen view, so we can easily navigate back to month view with one tap or swipe.

So I’ve been an avid user of just the iCal that’s native to my apple products, but what I felt was the UI was kind of annoying and bulky. I’ve had the google calendar on my phone for some time, but never really paid attention to it. But then recently I checked it to see if some events from my email popped up there but not iCal, and yes they have. Then I discovered I could integrate my iCal events into google calendar, along with the million other emails I have. I was sold! This is it y’all. I was always frustrated that iCal can’t include any other calendar services to have everything on one screen. Anyway, the google calendar’s interface is so simple yet so easy to read and scroll through. Thanks for making this!

The most recent update makes me mad. You took away the ability to shift back to your previous view quickly. I want to be able to see my schedule and then quickly shift back to month view. I shouldn’t have to go thru a menu. It has flustered me multiple times while trying to figure out my schedule on a call. I’ve used this calendar forever. Fix it please.

The fact that this isn’t just merged with the Gmail app is absolutely ridiculous

One of the most helpful features since I have been using Google calendar has been the ability to set notification for a specific amount of days beforehand and the TIME of said notification. I have really utilized this in the past so that I would receive the notification at a time where I am not distracted (e.g. when I’m riding the train vs. when I’m at work) so that it is noticed. The most recent update, l suppose, has removed the time part of this function allowing me only to set a notification for a set amount of days. Please bring the time functionality back.

Please update so past events are faded (just like the web desktop version). Otherwise, Best calendar app in my opinion…4.99 stars

For me the iOS calendar is a joke. It has none of the customization options that are in Google Calendar. I use Google Calendar because it has more functionality. The two features I want added to Google Calendar is the Year View and the seasons. WHY DOES IT TAKE AN ACT OF GOD FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO ADD THE YEAR VIEW IN THEIR CALENDARS ????? AND THE SEASONS ?????

Update this week made it difficult to get back to the month view, making you go to the menu and then choosing the view. Please change it back. This is a small but important part of this app that is helpful above others.

Please add a way I can view year.

-Every time the app updates, I have to RESTART my phone to view the 10-item widget in the correct place on my list, and the 3-item widget appears :( -Please give a SEARCH function “go to date”. It’s annoying to scroll years by month. -If I change the start time, I would like it to not AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST the end time; items change times and not necessarily duration. Would otherwise would be 5 stars.

I love this app, but a recent update made it harder to get back to Month View. Please bring this back right away.

I love this calendar! I’ve been using it for years. My only suggestion would be that more color choices be added, and emoji‘s or symbols

This app has 0 notification settings on iOS devices, which is unacceptable for a Calendar/Scheduling/Planning app.

I love how organized this app helps me stay with color-coding all of my activities throughout the day/week/month. There are a lot of color choices, but I wish there were even more so I could stay even more organized!

Since the latest update the ease of moving back to the monthly view is gone. Now you have to take all these extra steps to get back to that view. Why would you change that? I never stay in schedule view. Please add the quick feature back.

It’s a small feature but it used to be easy to go back to the month view. With this new update I have to constantly set it back to month view and it is so annoying. I don’t find the layout of my week or day view all that helpful. Please bring back this feature that used to work great!

I usually like looking at the monthly view. When I click on the day to see what it entails and then press on the 3 bars to go back to monthly view it doesn’t. I have to take a couple of extra steps to get back to the monthly view when it didn’t before. Not sure if it’s a bug or that’s how it is now.

Loved this app on my Android. Work forced me to an iPhone and I get maybe half the Google calendar notifications. Very frustrating as I have missed so many events. All settings I can find in both the app and phone settings say I should get notifications but I just don't. I hate it.

My favorite planner! With a cute design and personalizable.

I used this calendar constantly but the one feature of the apple calendar that i'm missing from google is the icon display of the date. It's not that big of a deal which is why I still use this app. more but it would be an awesome feature to have!!

Please enable the ability to change calendars after it has been created like I can do on the web version without having to recreate it from scratch or duplicate it and then delete the original.

I wish the date in the icon would change to be the actual date not always 31.

WHY CAN’T THE USER DELETE NON-RELEVANT HOLIDAYS FROM MY OWN CALENDAR ??? Social engineering gone mad.

I just transferred from an Android to iPhone after many years of using Google Calendar which I found perfect for my use. Reminders, recurring events, different view formats, and color options. Once I made the switch to iPhone, though, Three major problems arouse: Font so small that entries are difficult to read; no option to change font size; reduced options for time intervals of events (45 minute options not available for iPhone. Overall, this app is disappointing for iPhone use. I wish that Google would make these adjustments for iPhone. If they would, this app would be the best calendar app for iPhone hands down.

The motto of this app is “Get Organized” and yet it’s missing some of the most simple features to be able to do precisely that. Despite the billions Google makes selling our private data they can’t (or won’t) design a decent calendar app. There is a bunch of basic functionality from the web version that is not available in the app. Basic enough to render the app useless. 1) The calendar colors available in the app do not match the colors available on the web version. Come on, this is too simple to believe. 2) The app will not dim past events even if that setting is turned on on the web version. Again, let’s get on the ball Google. 3) There is no ability to change the calendar that an event is scheduled under. I literally couldn’t believe this one. Scheduled a meeting with a professor under your personal calendar? Don’t expect to be able to change that in the app. The absence of this capability is stupefying. If you’re like me and you use your iPad Pro in place of a laptop when you leave home then you have to go onto the web and deal with the hassle of trying to get your browser to load google calendar in the browser window instead of redirecting you to the app. Why are you redirecting me to the very thing that isn’t working in the first place?! Why bother having the app?! 4) The default calendars under each of my accounts retain the name “Events” even when I change their names using the web version. Very frustrating when you have other calendars you’ve created called “Events” because you want your default calendar to be for every day things and consider “events” to be less frequent, bigger deals. Whatever the rationale a person has, they should be able to name the calendars whatever they want and have that reflected in the app. In sum, these issues are fundamental enough to render the app more of a frustration than an assistance. In the app I can view all of my accounts in one place, at least it has that going for it. Instead of spending who knows how much money designing the “Goals” section, how about Google fixes the basics. If it weren’t for the fact that my work requires the use of Google calendar I’d be off it in a heartbeat; which is really unfortunate, because the web version allows for so much more functionality than competitors.

I wonder what’s wrong with the new update of google calendar. I cannot sync my account to this new app. My school only link the schedule to google calendar, so I cannot open schedule from any other calendar. If anyone know what happen, please tell me what to do. Thank you.

Add a year view in calendar please. It’s been too long for it not to be implemented yet. The simplest feature yet google has repeatedly dropped the ball

Please bring back the back arrow. Used to go from seeing month view. Tapping on todays events. Then hitting the back arrow to go back to month view. Arrow is gone now.

I don’t know why there isn’t a feature where I can add multiple dates of the same event. For example I want to add my work days to my calendar. But there’s no option unless it’s reoccurring events which my work schedule isn’t consistent. I want to be able to select multiple dates and create the same event. I have to do it one by one. If not on the app they should at least have it on the web version. Also, is there no way to add iOS reminders to sync with google calendar? I think that would be great because I prefer the iOS reminder app better than the google calendar one Other than that I really like this app I just wish I had those features to make things easier!

Basic function of a calendar app, please fix.

This is my preferred calendar App. It’s easy to use, and I like that I’m able to set Apple Maps as the default for navigating to a location. However, the app could really benefit from better Apple Watch integration, particularly a complication. As Google does not support push on iOS, relying on the stock Calendar complication means my watch calendar is rarely up to date.

Keeps my life on track! Is there a way to hide/unhide goals like we can with different calendars? Just so we can quickly unclutter the calendar and see events

Please offer an option for your widget to be as beautiful as the app itself, I primarily use this calendar over the apple one because of its aesthetic — would love if the widget would incorporate some of the art in/and the full size calendar — an opportunity to bring some google onto an apple face

Won’t let you change color of new events created in app. It let me do it before and it still will on the website.

It would be cool to see this app become usable on the Apple Watch

I’m on version 21.39.0. I don’t understand why they’ve made the gestures different from gmail to gcal. In gmail, you swipe left to delete, and in the schedule view of the calendar app, you have to swipe right. Should be the same to help people learn. Continues to frustrate me that they don’t allow apartment numbers or suite numbers in the add location section. You have to go through the extra step of adding it to the description, and have to pull up the app to view it when you’re in a rush. Hope my feedback is taken into consideration.

And again, they broke the widget. Come on!!! Yet again google screwed up the widgets for the calendar app. Why touch something if it’s not broken? Who is working on this app? Children? Deserves negative stars.

I always use gmail so I use all the tools. I been using a paper planner to keep track of bills and etc. This calendar has been great

Well, it had one job - to show events from google calendar and it failed miserably. How on earth apple calendar can show events in google calendar and google calendar cannot do the same???

I am really happy with the Google Calendar and am happy to pay for Workspace. It has really organized my life. Please create a larger iPad widget. I have too many tasks and calendar events to show on the Home Screen.

Overall I love this App. Luckily I use it in the phone and expect it to update my computer. Today I almost missed an important meeting. I had made the event in my desktop - with alerts!! Unfortunately anything you add to the desktop does NOT upload to the app unless you open the app. NOT GOOD! Another negative to the app - it is cumbersome to set alerts! I tend to make the appt on the phone then go to the computer to set the alerts. Stupid really but it is the only way I have found to be sure the appt is both places and the alerts will work. Shouldn’t need to jump through these hoops!!!! Can’t give it more stars when I feel as though I have to set an appt twice!!! What is the point???

Google! My dear Google! Think about us. I need to be able to have the calendar synchronized with tasks and all your other apps. Or open a new app and call it Google journaling! For the love of God, I need more interaction between apps and Google home. I have the absolute need to quickly brain dump information at all time. Love, Martina

Calendar events don’t update automatically of changes were made on web. Only way to sync is to open google calendar app. Missed many meetings

Why can’t I search my entire calendar regardless of how far back an entry is? This is nuts! 🤣

Please add an option to show alternate calendar in widget (day view)

This is a great app. That being said there is one thing that would make it perfect, a watch app. It stinks that I use this all the time but when I’m away from my phone I have to rely on the stock apple calendar. I would love a Watch complication on my watch face!

Hate what you did to this. Cant make heads nor tails of my appointments. I only want yo look at one day not the whole year. Switching to a more user friendly one.

This is an amazing app, perfect for scheduling. Only complaint is WE NEED BIGGER WIDGETS FOR IPAD PLEASE.

let me mother freaking tell you.. this app is a magical invention. i am a very disorderly person, but google calendar saves me. the minute i find out i have something to do, or somewhere to be. i stop by my favorite app, and fill in what i have to do. it’s very easy to use, AND YES GUESS WHAT… ITS FREEEEEEE. all you need is a google email, which also, a very good and resourceful app and email system. yahoo could never. it even will mark things on my calendar for me, if there is stuff with dates and times received through email or sometimes text. if you’re contemplating downloading this app, stop overthinking and press that button. it’ll change your life. it has changed mine. thank you for stopping by my review, now do yourself a favor & download the app. love you. xoxo.

We need more color options on the app!

What’s the point of a pop up notification that you can’t read more than a few words of? My font is not huge, but I get maybe 4 words, tops in Lock Screen notifications. Pressing on it brings up the same image. Preeeetty unhelpful.

I would love more widget options for the iPad, as well as more colors!

On my iPhone and my iPad the calendar will stop working and I have to restart it in able to put in events or anything. It never used to do that! What is going on?

UUGH

Keeps me organized, but my work schedule is not M-F and having the ability to copy and paste would be less time consuming and more efficient. I’ve searched everywhere for a way to do this in this app, to no avail. So annoying.

Today I opened my calendar and it shows October 2018. When I scroll forward, it jumps from Dec 2018 to January 2022! It has been maddening trying to fix it. This is on my Iphone. On my IPad it seems to be ok. Plus. I have to create a nickname to send this.

Google calendar has been an app that just sent me notifications for events. But after I really started exploring it, I noticed it had many more amazing features! They have reminders, tasks, and goals! It’s not only a calendar, but a go-to app for organizing for me! My family uses this app all together to know all of our events! So my point is, get this app! You will feel so much better and more organized.

This app is *almost* perfect. No other app has ever helped me to keep myself more organized. My one critique is that it needs way more colors for event categorization, what they have now it not enough.

Update 2021: App no longer displays all of my calendars that even the website does. At this point, this app is worthless in terms of reliability. I’ll just use iCal like I should have to begin with. And there is still no ability to share or print your calendar from the Google Calendar app... Clearly the development team is either incompetent or lazy.

I recently started using Google calendar after switching to night shift to help me get my life back together. I started adding goals to keep me on top of things but after the update, the widget now only displays events and tasks. Goals are a big part of my calendar events to be left out of the widget. Please fix this.

Ruined their widgets by adding buttons on half the widget. Clearly designed to increase usage and not at all to be a better product. Worthless calendar. Uninstalled.

Dear google, please don’t forget the people in the 45 and up years old. Small fonts for people with Presbyopia (presbicia ) make this calendar app a problem to read and use it. Unfortunately not only the calendar, but Gmail, ForeFlight and some others apps doesn’t increase fonts size accordingly with iPad text size settings. Please make size fonts settings able to increase within the calendar app, as well Gmail Thanks

The user can set a specific time for a calendar event. You can only set the Start and End times in five minute increments. What if my event is at 7:22 am? I have to round up the event to 7:25 am? Ridiculous!

Hi plz add the option to view my calendar as a year as well as month week or day

We need to see a widget with more than a single day on it. You are so out of touch Google.

I want to be able to add a calendar and edit the calendar colors from iPad (with the color picker). I also want to be able to view all events within a calendar as a list versus just scrolling through my calendar month to month to see what’s in it, and be able to merge calendars into one instead of having to copy events to the other calendar.

I like how is friendly to use, how the issue I’m having is that I can’t customize it and make it more my style such colors and backgrounds (wall paper) since this is app I’m planning on use days and months to come.

I’ve used a number of calendars but Google is by far the best. It is not as user friendly as some, but as an 86 year old struggling into today’s world I figured It out and love it.

It’s a really good application and really helpful thank you for this

I really liked this app after learning how it works, but after upgrading to the new iPhone 13 pro I can’t get any other colors except blue and green ….. WHERE IS THE COLORS ???

I use this calendar for everything. I have ADHD and I need something that manages my time, this is helpful because it integrates over all my devices and I can connect to my family's calendars as well. But like I said, I use it for everything, which means I'm ALWAYS adding events. Which means I need adding events to be simple. And I use the same notification settings and such every time. It would be nice if I could set them as my personal default. It would also be nice if there was a 1 and a half hour prior to event option (90) minute option as you can only select up to 60 minutes and then you have to switch to hour increments. A 90 minute option would be supremely helpful for me. It would also be helpful to be able to select different colors for events, rather than having all events in one selected calendar be the same color, like having a default color for the calendars is great, but it would be great to be able to then also select different colors for specific events within that calendar if you need to differentiate it for some reason. Or maybe the calendar color can be a line at the top of events and then events can also be a color. I just use my Gmail calendar for everything, so having different colors would be helpful, rather than having all my events be one color. Lots of color options would help. Other calenders could be one color then your events could be other certain colors. I just want color differentiation. My entire calendar is yellow. All my days are yellow, with the occasional purple dot from my family calendar. It's not helpful. And multiple calendars would not solve this issue because it would create an integration complication over my multiple devices and my family calendar cooperation.

Would love if the app icon would update to show the current day instead of always saying 31

This is a great app, the only change it needs is for the icon to display the day’s date.

I used to be a fan of this app. That stopped when I didn’t check my reminders for a few days and they piled up. When I did go to the app to check and go through my past reminders it freezes up and closes each time. I have deleted and re downloaded the app and the same thing happens. This is unacceptable! I have important things in my Google calendar. I am now only using my reminder app through Apple .

This latest version is a mess. I can’t uncheck or check different calendars. Have uninstalled and reinstalled four times and no change. As a result I have events showing 3x. Nightmare.

I expected better from Google. This is a feature they claim to have but don’t.

I used to love this app and tell all my friends to get it, too. I loved the color coding and the features. It was great! But for the last 2 months it has been a disaster. It takes forever to open, and when it does, it is not responsive to touch/tapping on the screen and I can’t even use it! It barely ever opens within a minute and when it does I can’t even tap an appointment to get the details or to edit it, or to make a new appointment. So frustrating. Boo

PLEASE add the option to view the calendar app not in dark mode... Just because my phone is in dark mode doesn't mean I want all my apps in dark mode. This is definitely one I want the option to change it if I want. C'mon Google. Don't do me like that. It's a great app. I also agree with the reviewer who asked for more color options within the app for events. Update with choice for dark mode please??! Thanks 🙏

I would like Google to make the icon display on the Home Screen to reflect the actual day of the month instead of 31.

My app is showing me the correct date, but the wrong day of the week on my phone screen. It’s never done this before this update. Please fix because I love everything else about the app!

please support

I REALLY wish the icon I see for the calendar would reflect the current date, instead of the 31. It is a calendar after all, I would to glance at the I on for the current date rather then open the app.

The widget is showing it starting the week on Sat, even though I chose Sunday, but the date for today is right. What the…?

Reason I have this app is for notification by email. Though I get the email, notifications are not shown even though it is set to. Very disappointed.

I like this calendar app. My employer uses Google Workspace and I have been a big Google applications user since Gmail was first released (and my younger daughter in college invited me!!). My main beefs are: 1. There are features missing from the iPhone app that i really really could use, like setting a time frame to “Out of office”, which automatically declines New and optionally Existing meetings. I need this a lot. This is a feature in the Chrome desktop and in the iPad app. 2. Not enough colors to code my meetings. The colors enable me to see at a glance which customers I have meetings with in a day as well as what kind of internal meetings I have. There are 12 colors available and I know that Google can allow more since if I add an external calendar there are 24 with an option to add more customer colors. This seems to be rather arbitrary. So these are two productivity issues that, if resolved, would have me give a full 5 stars.

Why

you can’t edit or remove content so deleted calendar reinstalled all the horrible stuff still there no way to remove never

I have always used the Google Calendar app and it has been great, but lately, the app has been declining. I prefer to look at my calendar in month view, but after clicking on any day, there is no convenient way to go back to month view. 😩 I have to click on the left hamburger icon and click month view. Suggestion: the day that is tapped in month view, make it a pop up view instead of an all-screen view, so we can easily navigate back to month view with one tap or swipe.

So I’ve been an avid user of just the iCal that’s native to my apple products, but what I felt was the UI was kind of annoying and bulky. I’ve had the google calendar on my phone for some time, but never really paid attention to it. But then recently I checked it to see if some events from my email popped up there but not iCal, and yes they have. Then I discovered I could integrate my iCal events into google calendar, along with the million other emails I have. I was sold! This is it y’all. I was always frustrated that iCal can’t include any other calendar services to have everything on one screen. Anyway, the google calendar’s interface is so simple yet so easy to read and scroll through. Thanks for making this!

The most recent update makes me mad. You took away the ability to shift back to your previous view quickly. I want to be able to see my schedule and then quickly shift back to month view. I shouldn’t have to go thru a menu. It has flustered me multiple times while trying to figure out my schedule on a call. I’ve used this calendar forever. Fix it please.

The fact that this isn’t just merged with the Gmail app is absolutely ridiculous

One of the most helpful features since I have been using Google calendar has been the ability to set notification for a specific amount of days beforehand and the TIME of said notification. I have really utilized this in the past so that I would receive the notification at a time where I am not distracted (e.g. when I’m riding the train vs. when I’m at work) so that it is noticed. The most recent update, l suppose, has removed the time part of this function allowing me only to set a notification for a set amount of days. Please bring the time functionality back.

Please update so past events are faded (just like the web desktop version). Otherwise, Best calendar app in my opinion…4.99 stars

For me the iOS calendar is a joke. It has none of the customization options that are in Google Calendar. I use Google Calendar because it has more functionality. The two features I want added to Google Calendar is the Year View and the seasons. WHY DOES IT TAKE AN ACT OF GOD FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO ADD THE YEAR VIEW IN THEIR CALENDARS ????? AND THE SEASONS ?????

Update this week made it difficult to get back to the month view, making you go to the menu and then choosing the view. Please change it back. This is a small but important part of this app that is helpful above others.

Please add a way I can view year.

-Every time the app updates, I have to RESTART my phone to view the 10-item widget in the correct place on my list, and the 3-item widget appears :( -Please give a SEARCH function “go to date”. It’s annoying to scroll years by month. -If I change the start time, I would like it to not AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST the end time; items change times and not necessarily duration. Would otherwise would be 5 stars.

I love this app, but a recent update made it harder to get back to Month View. Please bring this back right away.

I love this calendar! I’ve been using it for years. My only suggestion would be that more color choices be added, and emoji‘s or symbols

This app has 0 notification settings on iOS devices, which is unacceptable for a Calendar/Scheduling/Planning app.

I love how organized this app helps me stay with color-coding all of my activities throughout the day/week/month. There are a lot of color choices, but I wish there were even more so I could stay even more organized!

Since the latest update the ease of moving back to the monthly view is gone. Now you have to take all these extra steps to get back to that view. Why would you change that? I never stay in schedule view. Please add the quick feature back.

It’s a small feature but it used to be easy to go back to the month view. With this new update I have to constantly set it back to month view and it is so annoying. I don’t find the layout of my week or day view all that helpful. Please bring back this feature that used to work great!

I usually like looking at the monthly view. When I click on the day to see what it entails and then press on the 3 bars to go back to monthly view it doesn’t. I have to take a couple of extra steps to get back to the monthly view when it didn’t before. Not sure if it’s a bug or that’s how it is now.

Loved this app on my Android. Work forced me to an iPhone and I get maybe half the Google calendar notifications. Very frustrating as I have missed so many events. All settings I can find in both the app and phone settings say I should get notifications but I just don't. I hate it.

My favorite planner! With a cute design and personalizable.

I used this calendar constantly but the one feature of the apple calendar that i'm missing from google is the icon display of the date. It's not that big of a deal which is why I still use this app. more but it would be an awesome feature to have!!

Please enable the ability to change calendars after it has been created like I can do on the web version without having to recreate it from scratch or duplicate it and then delete the original.

I wish the date in the icon would change to be the actual date not always 31.

WHY CAN’T THE USER DELETE NON-RELEVANT HOLIDAYS FROM MY OWN CALENDAR ??? Social engineering gone mad.

I just transferred from an Android to iPhone after many years of using Google Calendar which I found perfect for my use. Reminders, recurring events, different view formats, and color options. Once I made the switch to iPhone, though, Three major problems arouse: Font so small that entries are difficult to read; no option to change font size; reduced options for time intervals of events (45 minute options not available for iPhone. Overall, this app is disappointing for iPhone use. I wish that Google would make these adjustments for iPhone. If they would, this app would be the best calendar app for iPhone hands down.

The motto of this app is “Get Organized” and yet it’s missing some of the most simple features to be able to do precisely that. Despite the billions Google makes selling our private data they can’t (or won’t) design a decent calendar app. There is a bunch of basic functionality from the web version that is not available in the app. Basic enough to render the app useless. 1) The calendar colors available in the app do not match the colors available on the web version. Come on, this is too simple to believe. 2) The app will not dim past events even if that setting is turned on on the web version. Again, let’s get on the ball Google. 3) There is no ability to change the calendar that an event is scheduled under. I literally couldn’t believe this one. Scheduled a meeting with a professor under your personal calendar? Don’t expect to be able to change that in the app. The absence of this capability is stupefying. If you’re like me and you use your iPad Pro in place of a laptop when you leave home then you have to go onto the web and deal with the hassle of trying to get your browser to load google calendar in the browser window instead of redirecting you to the app. Why are you redirecting me to the very thing that isn’t working in the first place?! Why bother having the app?! 4) The default calendars under each of my accounts retain the name “Events” even when I change their names using the web version. Very frustrating when you have other calendars you’ve created called “Events” because you want your default calendar to be for every day things and consider “events” to be less frequent, bigger deals. Whatever the rationale a person has, they should be able to name the calendars whatever they want and have that reflected in the app. In sum, these issues are fundamental enough to render the app more of a frustration than an assistance. In the app I can view all of my accounts in one place, at least it has that going for it. Instead of spending who knows how much money designing the “Goals” section, how about Google fixes the basics. If it weren’t for the fact that my work requires the use of Google calendar I’d be off it in a heartbeat; which is really unfortunate, because the web version allows for so much more functionality than competitors.

I wonder what’s wrong with the new update of google calendar. I cannot sync my account to this new app. My school only link the schedule to google calendar, so I cannot open schedule from any other calendar. If anyone know what happen, please tell me what to do. Thank you.

Add a year view in calendar please. It’s been too long for it not to be implemented yet. The simplest feature yet google has repeatedly dropped the ball

Please bring back the back arrow. Used to go from seeing month view. Tapping on todays events. Then hitting the back arrow to go back to month view. Arrow is gone now.

I don’t know why there isn’t a feature where I can add multiple dates of the same event. For example I want to add my work days to my calendar. But there’s no option unless it’s reoccurring events which my work schedule isn’t consistent. I want to be able to select multiple dates and create the same event. I have to do it one by one. If not on the app they should at least have it on the web version. Also, is there no way to add iOS reminders to sync with google calendar? I think that would be great because I prefer the iOS reminder app better than the google calendar one Other than that I really like this app I just wish I had those features to make things easier!

Basic function of a calendar app, please fix.

This is my preferred calendar App. It’s easy to use, and I like that I’m able to set Apple Maps as the default for navigating to a location. However, the app could really benefit from better Apple Watch integration, particularly a complication. As Google does not support push on iOS, relying on the stock Calendar complication means my watch calendar is rarely up to date.

Keeps my life on track! Is there a way to hide/unhide goals like we can with different calendars? Just so we can quickly unclutter the calendar and see events

Please offer an option for your widget to be as beautiful as the app itself, I primarily use this calendar over the apple one because of its aesthetic — would love if the widget would incorporate some of the art in/and the full size calendar — an opportunity to bring some google onto an apple face

Won’t let you change color of new events created in app. It let me do it before and it still will on the website.

It would be cool to see this app become usable on the Apple Watch

I’m on version 21.39.0. I don’t understand why they’ve made the gestures different from gmail to gcal. In gmail, you swipe left to delete, and in the schedule view of the calendar app, you have to swipe right. Should be the same to help people learn. Continues to frustrate me that they don’t allow apartment numbers or suite numbers in the add location section. You have to go through the extra step of adding it to the description, and have to pull up the app to view it when you’re in a rush. Hope my feedback is taken into consideration.

And again, they broke the widget. Come on!!! Yet again google screwed up the widgets for the calendar app. Why touch something if it’s not broken? Who is working on this app? Children? Deserves negative stars.

I always use gmail so I use all the tools. I been using a paper planner to keep track of bills and etc. This calendar has been great

Well, it had one job - to show events from google calendar and it failed miserably. How on earth apple calendar can show events in google calendar and google calendar cannot do the same???

I am really happy with the Google Calendar and am happy to pay for Workspace. It has really organized my life. Please create a larger iPad widget. I have too many tasks and calendar events to show on the Home Screen.

Overall I love this App. Luckily I use it in the phone and expect it to update my computer. Today I almost missed an important meeting. I had made the event in my desktop - with alerts!! Unfortunately anything you add to the desktop does NOT upload to the app unless you open the app. NOT GOOD! Another negative to the app - it is cumbersome to set alerts! I tend to make the appt on the phone then go to the computer to set the alerts. Stupid really but it is the only way I have found to be sure the appt is both places and the alerts will work. Shouldn’t need to jump through these hoops!!!! Can’t give it more stars when I feel as though I have to set an appt twice!!! What is the point???

Google! My dear Google! Think about us. I need to be able to have the calendar synchronized with tasks and all your other apps. Or open a new app and call it Google journaling! For the love of God, I need more interaction between apps and Google home. I have the absolute need to quickly brain dump information at all time. Love, Martina

Calendar events don’t update automatically of changes were made on web. Only way to sync is to open google calendar app. Missed many meetings

Why can’t I search my entire calendar regardless of how far back an entry is? This is nuts! 🤣

Please add an option to show alternate calendar in widget (day view)

This is a great app. That being said there is one thing that would make it perfect, a watch app. It stinks that I use this all the time but when I’m away from my phone I have to rely on the stock apple calendar. I would love a Watch complication on my watch face!

Hate what you did to this. Cant make heads nor tails of my appointments. I only want yo look at one day not the whole year. Switching to a more user friendly one.

This is an amazing app, perfect for scheduling. Only complaint is WE NEED BIGGER WIDGETS FOR IPAD PLEASE.

let me mother freaking tell you.. this app is a magical invention. i am a very disorderly person, but google calendar saves me. the minute i find out i have something to do, or somewhere to be. i stop by my favorite app, and fill in what i have to do. it’s very easy to use, AND YES GUESS WHAT… ITS FREEEEEEE. all you need is a google email, which also, a very good and resourceful app and email system. yahoo could never. it even will mark things on my calendar for me, if there is stuff with dates and times received through email or sometimes text. if you’re contemplating downloading this app, stop overthinking and press that button. it’ll change your life. it has changed mine. thank you for stopping by my review, now do yourself a favor & download the app. love you. xoxo.

We need more color options on the app!

What’s the point of a pop up notification that you can’t read more than a few words of? My font is not huge, but I get maybe 4 words, tops in Lock Screen notifications. Pressing on it brings up the same image. Preeeetty unhelpful.

I would love more widget options for the iPad, as well as more colors!

On my iPhone and my iPad the calendar will stop working and I have to restart it in able to put in events or anything. It never used to do that! What is going on?

UUGH

Keeps me organized, but my work schedule is not M-F and having the ability to copy and paste would be less time consuming and more efficient. I’ve searched everywhere for a way to do this in this app, to no avail. So annoying.

Today I opened my calendar and it shows October 2018. When I scroll forward, it jumps from Dec 2018 to January 2022! It has been maddening trying to fix it. This is on my Iphone. On my IPad it seems to be ok. Plus. I have to create a nickname to send this.

Google calendar has been an app that just sent me notifications for events. But after I really started exploring it, I noticed it had many more amazing features! They have reminders, tasks, and goals! It’s not only a calendar, but a go-to app for organizing for me! My family uses this app all together to know all of our events! So my point is, get this app! You will feel so much better and more organized.

This app is *almost* perfect. No other app has ever helped me to keep myself more organized. My one critique is that it needs way more colors for event categorization, what they have now it not enough.

Update 2021: App no longer displays all of my calendars that even the website does. At this point, this app is worthless in terms of reliability. I’ll just use iCal like I should have to begin with. And there is still no ability to share or print your calendar from the Google Calendar app... Clearly the development team is either incompetent or lazy.

I recently started using Google calendar after switching to night shift to help me get my life back together. I started adding goals to keep me on top of things but after the update, the widget now only displays events and tasks. Goals are a big part of my calendar events to be left out of the widget. Please fix this.

Ruined their widgets by adding buttons on half the widget. Clearly designed to increase usage and not at all to be a better product. Worthless calendar. Uninstalled.

Dear google, please don’t forget the people in the 45 and up years old. Small fonts for people with Presbyopia (presbicia ) make this calendar app a problem to read and use it. Unfortunately not only the calendar, but Gmail, ForeFlight and some others apps doesn’t increase fonts size accordingly with iPad text size settings. Please make size fonts settings able to increase within the calendar app, as well Gmail Thanks

The user can set a specific time for a calendar event. You can only set the Start and End times in five minute increments. What if my event is at 7:22 am? I have to round up the event to 7:25 am? Ridiculous!

Hi plz add the option to view my calendar as a year as well as month week or day

We need to see a widget with more than a single day on it. You are so out of touch Google.

I want to be able to add a calendar and edit the calendar colors from iPad (with the color picker). I also want to be able to view all events within a calendar as a list versus just scrolling through my calendar month to month to see what’s in it, and be able to merge calendars into one instead of having to copy events to the other calendar.

I like how is friendly to use, how the issue I’m having is that I can’t customize it and make it more my style such colors and backgrounds (wall paper) since this is app I’m planning on use days and months to come.

I’ve used a number of calendars but Google is by far the best. It is not as user friendly as some, but as an 86 year old struggling into today’s world I figured It out and love it.

It’s a really good application and really helpful thank you for this

I really liked this app after learning how it works, but after upgrading to the new iPhone 13 pro I can’t get any other colors except blue and green ….. WHERE IS THE COLORS ???

I use this calendar for everything. I have ADHD and I need something that manages my time, this is helpful because it integrates over all my devices and I can connect to my family's calendars as well. But like I said, I use it for everything, which means I'm ALWAYS adding events. Which means I need adding events to be simple. And I use the same notification settings and such every time. It would be nice if I could set them as my personal default. It would also be nice if there was a 1 and a half hour prior to event option (90) minute option as you can only select up to 60 minutes and then you have to switch to hour increments. A 90 minute option would be supremely helpful for me. It would also be helpful to be able to select different colors for events, rather than having all events in one selected calendar be the same color, like having a default color for the calendars is great, but it would be great to be able to then also select different colors for specific events within that calendar if you need to differentiate it for some reason. Or maybe the calendar color can be a line at the top of events and then events can also be a color. I just use my Gmail calendar for everything, so having different colors would be helpful, rather than having all my events be one color. Lots of color options would help. Other calenders could be one color then your events could be other certain colors. I just want color differentiation. My entire calendar is yellow. All my days are yellow, with the occasional purple dot from my family calendar. It's not helpful. And multiple calendars would not solve this issue because it would create an integration complication over my multiple devices and my family calendar cooperation.

Would love if the app icon would update to show the current day instead of always saying 31

This is a great app, the only change it needs is for the icon to display the day’s date.

I used to be a fan of this app. That stopped when I didn’t check my reminders for a few days and they piled up. When I did go to the app to check and go through my past reminders it freezes up and closes each time. I have deleted and re downloaded the app and the same thing happens. This is unacceptable! I have important things in my Google calendar. I am now only using my reminder app through Apple .
