Google Calendar: Get Organized | App Report, Store and Ranking Data

I am very old school, I generally use one of the classic hardback, spiral bound dayplanners, so I figured it was time for an update! I looked all over the app store for an app that would work for me, I probably downloaded over 20+ apps looking for a good fit, bc I like to see my entire month at a glance, just like I can with my dayplanner. Most of the ones I found had every feature other than that, and the ones that did have it, you had to pay for the premium version of it in order to have that view. Then my friend told me about google calendar, so I downloaded it and gave it a shot. It's not fancy, it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles, and pretty designs that the other apps do, but I don't need all that. It lets you view 6 weeks at a time, starting at the beginning of the current month. They have 12 different colors that you are able to color code your stuff with, although some colors are very similar, such as "blueberry" and "lavender," however, they have the full spectrum of the rainbow on there. It's mostly soft, muted colors, but there's obviously a huge difference in red, yellow, blue, etc. I give it 4 stars instead of 5, bc the app icon always stays on the 31. I wish there was a way to have it accurately reflect the current date and time. You have to go into the actual app to see what day it is. Maybe a widget for the app? Also, I wish there was a way to show the current 6 weeks, instead of previous weeks. For example, today is Wednesday, February 22, 2023. I wish it would show this week, starting Sunday, February 19, 2023, and then going to the last week of March, 2023, instead of starting at the beginning of February and going to the second week of March. However, beggars can't be choosers, and for a 100% complete free app, I'd say it's pretty dang good!

3/16/23 edit - i wish this app had the ability to TEXT a reminder, customized as to when ( 10 minutes, day, etc. ) like the notification alert….etc. we want it. Even multiple texts… Maybe even to a couple cell phone numbers, too. That would be a great addition to its functions… And take this app to a full ten stars in its review status… I use this and love that I can access it from my computer, phone, iPad and iPod. I like that if you are strung out in future dates, you can hit the TODAY button and it will bring you back to current day. But I wish it had a GO TO DATE so you don't have to keep hitting the right arrow to get to future days/weeks to get to a future day to post a future appointment.

The default calendar on the iPhone will show you the actual date on the unopened icon. Is this something that Google might consider doing as well? It’s nice when you are trying to figure out the date real fast. Change the Box Color of Pending Tasks The pending task box on calendar is a dark gray and blends in with the dark background. My eye does not draw to it and sometimes I forget to check. Would you consider making the pending task box something like a brite yellow? Hope that made sense.

I had been using the calendar on iPhone for years and it kept deleting events and important appointments. This is not good as I need to know where I have to be with appointments. I decided to switch and love it. The calendar has the appointments written out instead of a dot that the iPhone uses. Now I can easier find out where I need to be and they stay on the calendar instead of disappearing. My life is much easier now!

Can you add please “Repeat” and “Complete” options for events just like you have for google tasks ? There is no way to mark an event complete and incomplete. Looking back at my schedule, it gets confusing sometimes if I completed an event or not cuz I couldn’t mark them as complete in the calendar. Also I have to duplicate and move some events to the next date every single day. A simple “Repeat” option will help a lot
