need more event colours
Huge range of colours for individual calendars, would be great to have these options for the individual events instead of just 8 that have been hand picked from that selection
Keeps me afloat, BUT
I’ve been using Google calendar to keep track of my personal and school schedules for years and I love it. As someone with a pretty hardcore case of ADHD, I’d be constantly missing appointments if I didn’t put everything in my calendar as soon as I schedule it. HOWEVER. I’m starting a new job today that uses G Suite, and I wanted to be able to view my work calendar from my phone. I added my work account with no issues, but now I have to look at both of my calendars together on either account. I can turn off all my personal calendars from my work account, but when I return to my personal account the setup doesn’t change. This is super frustrating, because I’d really like to be able to easily switch views like I could on desktop. I don’t want all my personal appointments clogging up my work schedule, and vice versa. Am I missing something? Or is this just a spot where some improvements could be made?

Great for tracking events!
This app is great. I use it to mark down all of the events that occur in my life. I use different colors for each type of event, such as red for school, yellow for fun things, green for work, etc. I love that you can add a description to an event and I use that feature as sort of a journal to write down everything that happened at the event so that I can look back on it one day. Birthdays from my contacts show up on the calendar and holidays as well. I like that you can view your calendar in different modes, whether you want to see your events as a daily schedule, weekly schedule, or monthly schedule. It has served me well for 2 years of scheduling every single event in my life and I'll keep using it for years to come!

Great app
I really love the google calendar program. The reminders and tasks on the calendar is so functional for me. I also love the options for events/tasks/reminders when you long press the app icon. I have some suggestions:
1. The ability to change calendars AFTER an event is created on mobile would be great. I manage several calendars so this is annoying.
2. The ability to change notification sounds on iPhone. Have you heard the built in sounds? 👎
3. I would love a travel time option similar to that of ical on iPhone. It’s the only way their app is superior to yours. I know you’ve tried this before and it didn’t work out for whatever reason. I know I can create this on a computer, but the with this option, travel time shows as an additional event instead of additional time in the event like ical. It’s also tedious to create this then have to change the repeating setting on the travel event for repeating events. Goog, are you really going to let apple smoke you in this department??! I know someone there uses iPhone. Play with the calendar setting and get it together lol.

Fantastic Calendar App
This is the best calendar app that I’ve found to organise your life. The ability to have a weekly view is something many other apps are missing, but this one does fantastically.
My only suggestion would be to add a way to make your own custom colours for your events. There’s a limited selection, and I’m a very colour oriented person when it comes to organisation! (If there is already a way to do this that I’m missing my apologies, please let me know)

Discrimination at its finest
Google unabashedly decides what holiday is correct regardless of who agrees. They purposely promote lies and hatred where there is none.
For instance as an Italian American Columbus Day honors a real hero who even though never landed in America who still given the rightful honor of discovering America. He was looking for a trade route to India. He was not “conquering “ a new country
Google knows this but prefers to denigrate Italians in favor of Indians. Indigenous Americans is also a white European name given to thousands of tribes who never combined their tribes in peace or created a country. Instead they were given the chance to become American citizens and chose not to. THEY LOST.
Civilization brought by Europeans made our sweet land sanctified to GOD and then Google decides it’s all wrong. They are the self appointed pagan worshipping culture of dogmatic elitism and will be a forgotten period in history. And decided we should agree with their fantasy of lies and division.
Well I believe it’s still a choice. Choose to get another calendar. Googles’ is a thing of their past.

Needs Apple Watch app!
This was my favourite calendar app til I started using an Apple Watch and realised there's no app for it 😐 I like having things conveniently on my watch so I'm not pulling my phone out all the time, if there was an app for the watch I'd use this again 😊
Integration with Tasks and Keep
The calendar is quite functional enough. Editing can be a little clunky but not so much so that it gets in the way. The whole show really hits its stride when I’m making tasks and notes in Google Tasks and Google Keep. Add a date and they pop upon Google Calendar on all devices. Sure, it’s nothing compared to Google Wave but we survive this post Wave world as best we can. Hopefully someone will see sense eventually and reboot Wave.

Week3, biz still relies on appt accuracy
Two updates since the ones that caused so many identical user complaints here, in help and all over the web and the same busy work nonsense taking up our days for a solution that only keeps us off the phone for awhile but will never fix the software issue they're still denying against 3rd grade reasoning and deduction. Added events don't show immediately, but we can't schedule extra starting time so make sure they eventually do. Moving appointments manually is a game of popping back up original time until about the 3rd attempt and deleting events is only done at the whim of the app after a random amount of tries. This is a NIGHTMARE for people who work with customers who they are invested making HAPPY through attentive CUSTOMER SERVICE and RELIABLE SERVICE and QUALITY they can know is a company priority. nightmare. You can delete the some events over Don't bring small businesses that rely on your apps down to your despicable level of ambivalence and now afunctional products. It won't last. Not everyone is dumb enough to keep bending over to say thank you for the flogging and lack of respect.

Can’t delete from “add people”! Your guest list is there forever!
I love almost everything about the Google calendar, EXCEPT a person is in my “add people” or add guests that I cannot delete. I almost sent some extremely personal info about an event to her while trying to delete her, but the email address, fortunately, is no longer valid and the email bounced back to me as undeliverable. I’m not the only person with this problem on their iPhone, and it seems to go back some years. It has never been fixed and no one can give me a way to delete this person. I’ve gone online to my Google calendar, and my events are there, but there is no one on my guest list. There are plenty of instructions on how to fix this on your computer, but none to fix it on my iPhone. I’m currently checking into other calendars because Google seems uninterested in fixing this problem. So unless you want “invites” going out forever to everyone you ever put on your guest list then don’t use this app. If you accidentally add some one, you are stuck with them as long as you use this calendar. So DON’T GET THIS APP UNTIL THEY FIX IT!
