Not quite there yet

I have just changed over from using the iphone calendar, but am struggling with some lack of functionality.

As other reviews have said, please change the picture of the app from a constant "31" to the actual date.

I am not getting any alerts when I set a reminder? Seems odd, I get alerts for everything else. Shouldn't a reminder actually remind you via an alert?

My iphone calendar keeps picking up everything from my Google calendar. To be honest, I would rather do away with the iphone one and I certainly don't want it picking up the info from my Google calendar.

I agree with others too, those pictures that keep being added are unwanted and useless. They make it difficult to discern the colour I have set for that event, and just make it harder to locate entries. Please remove, or make optional.

A few of these improvements would make it far more professional and less clumsy.

Suggestion

I really like this app! Can you please have an option for Statutory holidays ONLY. It so annoying to see holiday nobody ever heard of. Thanks.

Great app but needs work

Really like this app and I use it on all platforms. However, I wish reminders could be colour coded just like events can be. And I wish the first week of the next month would not show up at the bottom of the page that includes the current month.

Really like it except...

I really like everything about the app except that the icon doesn’t show today’s date for quick view.

Looks great

But I'll download this app the day it automatically adds Facebook events like the app that come already installed on my iPhone.

Could Improve...

This is a great app but would be nice to have a setting which allowed for the full 24hrs to be shown at once, especially for those of us with the bigger Phoebe screens. Also the ability to scroll across the week view without having to move 7 days at once. Once more when events collide, allow them to overlap slightly, perhaps don't budge them over quite so much or you end up with a tiny bar in the week view and you can't read what the event says. Also if the app icon would show the actual date like the Apple Calendar app does. Lastly if the google apps communicated with each other such as google maps automatically giving an estimated leave reminder by calculating how long it will take me to arrive at an event via my most used mode of transport. Would love these ideas to be implemented.

Everything one might need in a calendar app

I love how Google Calendar automagically uploads everything to the cloud. I also love how it suggests locations based on the address one types in (of course it doesn't do this for private addresses, but it is still a handy feature.) It will set reminders by month, day, hour, or minute, and it also asks if one wants to set up recurring appointments for a number of weeks, a number of days, or annually (handy for Birthday reminders.) The app will also convert between time zones across the worldβ€”another useful feature. And all of these can easily be set whether one is using a smartphone or a tablet, and also a desktop or a laptop. All of the changes are sent to the cloud, as well. It is possible to export it into many other formats as well, such as iCal, and Microsoft Office. I ❀️ Google Calendar and will continue to use it until they pry it out of my hands. πŸ™‚
