Adulting!
My life was becoming extremely crazy and I kept "double booking" myself like Every. Single. Day. So I kept having to call and let people down because I had forgotten about previous commitments! Well! My mom and sister got frustrated with me and told me that I needed to just get Google Calendar and every time I commit to something I have to put it in the calendar right then and there and then before I commit to things I have to pull out my calendar and check it! It was simple advice but Google Calendar was so easy to use and so aesthetically that after I used it once I got hooked! Haha I love putting hints in my calendar now and color coordinating them! It looks so pretty and I feel like an adult that has to "check her calendar" all the time🙄😂. Also! I found out you can link calendars with people! Now I know when my sister is free to talk on the phone because her crazy work schedule is on there and we love so far away it's helped us stay connected!! All that to say! I love Google Calendar and it will help you organize your life! -
I love this app and use it for everything. But I think there was an update in the last week and since, the layout changed. It looks cramped and harder to see events in week view, which suited me best. I don't have a screenshot of the old layout to compare but there's definitely a change. If it's something I can reverse please advise, otherwise please consider returning it to the way it was. Thanks.

2 small problems, 2 less stars
The app is great but there are 2 things I wish they did. 1: more colors added for events. I wish they had more colors to choose from when writing in an event. I am the kind of person that likes to keep certain events in the same color so i know that that event is work, party, meeting, holiday, birthdays, vet appointments, etc. But the color selection is a bit limited for me and there are colors that i never use because it makes no sense when i associate that color for that event, like the color flamingo. I wish they had different kinds of blues, purples, greens, reds, oranges, and pink. Especially since the purple for reminder you cannot change, so placing an event in that color confuses me. 2: I wish the photo used for a location was based on a photo of what the location looks like and not from photos that people upload from their cellphone to google maps. The fault is google maps. The photo location for an area should be something you should have the option of selecting in calendar and the logo should be an option. Their should also be an option on google maps where someone can select the primary photo of that location when flagging a picture. For example, my dog vet is pet smart Banfield but the picture shown on my calendar is a lady with her dog. That is not the location of the vet, it should be a picture of the front of the store, even though there is a picture of that, i cant select it. -
I like it, but it needs improvement
This app is one of the most comprehensive as far as what I can do, but it needs fixing in a few areas. First of all, Goals are super glitchy and need improvement. I find that it’s super inconvenient that there is no option to select Goal time/date manually, you have to let the app decide for you. You can change manually it AFTER it is auto assigned, but you have to do them each individually. So if I have a 5 day workout goal and I want them all to be at specific times, I have to manually fix every single day and time to where I want it. It’s super inconvenient. It should simply be an option and nothing more to have the app select times and dates for your goals. Additionally, I find that sometimes they delete themselves, and also, if you set a goal it only lasts about three weeks before you have to recreate them again. You should be able to have the option to select the cut off date or have them running indefinitely, like you can with “Events.” It’s almost better to set your Goals as Events because Events actually works. Additionally, I find that when I swipe other to the next week it will sometimes ship months or years ahead for seemingly no reason. -
No Apple Watch/Subscribed Calendars
Overall, it looks good but it’s missing the most important thing to be usable for me. I must have it in my Apple Watch and have a complication so I see the next event just by raising my wrist. Google, add this and you’ll win me over from Apple’s calendar. The other issue is with subscribed calendars. Google’s platform is far superior to Apple because I can subscribe to an external calendar on the site and see it on my phone as well. Perfect, almost. I set up a subscription to my work calendar. We are fully hosted on Microsoft 365. I’m able to see everything that was created PRIOR to setting up the subscription however, nothing new is coming in. After an exhaustive search, this is a Google problem that has existed for a long time. Google, you need to give us an option for subscribed calendars to specify update frequency. A global setting is simply not sufficient. I have another subscribed calendar which only needs an update once per week but my work calendar needs updates every 15 minutes. I do know I can add my M366 calendar in the default Apple calendar and it works as expected. That’s not what I want. I want all of my calendars in one place.

Almost there!
There are a few things keeping me from switching to this app from Apple Calendar. They are as follows: 1)The app logo should update with the date instead of just having the number 31 there. It needs to be more useful to our day. 2) More color options for events! If all of the other Google productivity apps allow color mixing, why not this one? I honestly think those are my only complaints. I love the fact that I can sync calendars and essentially lives with my partner! It makes our lives so much easier with us using different operating systems!

Helps me organize my life!!
As a high school student that plays sports, has a job, babysits, and is involved in many *many* clubs, this app helps me organize my life!! I love the automatic pictures that come up and how i can share calendars with people (my team etc), and THE COLORS. i legit have corresponding colors for everything and i absolutely love it!! my one tiny thing is how all events have to last for a period of time. i would love an option to have events just occur at a certain time and have no end time. for example when i need to pick up my little sister that occurs at a certain time and isnt a duration of time, also some meetings for clubs and such dont have an end time so just putting in a random time doesnt really help me. adding this feature would really help me make this a 5 star review because after that i dont know what this app could be missing! but other than that i absolutely love this app and i dont plan to stop using it anytime in the future!! -
Convenient but could be improved
I love the colors to be able to tell the difference. I also love the ability to share events with people. I do wish that I could add the same event to multiple days. For example, work, for people who don’t work the same days every week. If I work and 7am-7pm multiple days a week; that I could just type in the information and just click on the different days that I work. Another example would be for volunteering events; I have to keep typing them in, because they don’t repeat on the same days of the week each week. It’s a huge downside. I keep hoping there will be an update with it. But I may start looking for another app. Additionally, it would be nice to have more neon colors for color coordination. As me and my husband share calendars and have events for the kids. It would really help separate each of those things. I often run out of colors. -
The new update where you couldn't see border boundaries when scheduling an event is annoying. Now it's a random tap game, just like in other amateur calendar apps. Also, now I cannot tap & hold event to move it around, have to go in edit, click every date and time, click save. The new update feels like replacing an icon (and I could get used to ugly icons that's no problem) and removing dozen of functions.

I love it because I can attend to my schedules because it has reminders. I hope it's not to much to ask to have screenshots directly shared to calendar so that I don't have to write on the date which the event will take place. It will simply pop up a reminder together with the screenshot. And then I will know what event will take place on a particular time and day using the Screenshot. Which will eventually give me an idea what the event is all about. Thank you Google.

I love that they added an option for tasks. However, they do not automatically rollover if they aren't completed as assigned. If you needed help remembering a task, you are likely to forget about it if you can't accomplish it right away. The lack of rollover is frustrating because I don't even remember that I've forgotten to do something. It should stay pinned to the task list until it's marked complete.
-
Sometimes it seems like they move the settings and features around unnecessarily so I have to relearn how to use them from time to time. If that's the case, I wish they could update the app without relocating certain settings. Otherwise, this usually does what it's supposed to. Occasionally the alarm simply won't sound for some reason, although that may have been rectified with a recent update.

The thing that would make this app better would be the ability to add internet calendars to a shared or not direct calendar. For example my wife and I share a "family" calendar for all of our kids activities, it would be nice to be able to show internet calendars on that family calendar for our kids soccer programs or baseball programs that have internet calendar options.

Excellent Calendar, even better with a few tweaks
My school uses Google Suite for student email, handout distribution and storage, and turning in assignments, to name a few uses. I use Google Calendar to coordinate all of these things and record my homework. I have a color-coded calendar for each class so I can glance at my week and see my work load easily. Unfortunately, I have to set up each assignment as an event because reminders can’t attach to calendars or change their color. This makes it difficult to see a list of all my homework together, whereas with reminders, I could mark them as done and display them together. I also encountered an issue where trying to share an event with someone while creating it would cause the event to not be created, but sharing the event after creating it would be successful. Still, these are minor problems and improvements and overall, this is one of the best calendar apps I’ve seen.

Mediocre product. Google has lots of potential, but while they excel in creating products that are fun to look at, they fail miserably at focus and organization. This is no exception. Trying to pack too many features into their calendar app, they forgot to make it easy and intuitive to actually read it. Moving the appointment times to the left of the bubble instead of having them within the bubble would easily solve a part of this. ... Hope you're listening Google.

Bring back notifications for individual events
A few years ago when I first started using this app, you were able schedule notifications to go off a desired length of time before specific, individual events and reminders. Now they have done away with this option, and it has decreased the usefulness and helpfulness of the calendar altogether. Speaking as someone with ADHD who is also a visual learner, I use this calendar and the different color options to help me prioritize and keep track of things and not forget important commitments, such as doctors appointments and when bills are due. But because of my ADHD brain, I need that extra help that sound notifications provide when it comes to one-time events that are outside my typical schedule, and unfortunately the developers got rid of the settings that used to allow you to do this. I have looked everywhere on the app and on desktop, and the setting for this that used to be there is now nowhere to be found. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OPTION TO SET SOUND NOTIFICATIONS FOR SINGLE EVENTS AND REMINDERS!! If this setting doesn’t return I may be forced to use a different app/platform that does allow this option.
