no date on the app icon

This would probably be my main calendar application if the date was viewable without opening the actual app

Latest update sucks

Why do you keep changing things?? And why can’t we opt in to change it if we wish or leave it the same if we wish? Just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s good.

Wrong Address on Mobile

I have an appointment later today and they sent me a calendar invite which I added to my google calendar. On the web app, it shows the address just fine, but on mobile it has the street number but instead of the street name it says the name of the city followed by "downtown investor center" and when I open the link to google maps it's directing me to some place 13 miles away. Fortunately I already know roughly where this place is so I got online to double check the address, and that's when I realized that the address on the calendar entry on the web app has the full and correct address. This seems like a weird and serious bug. If I had trusted the address on the mobile app calendar entry, I would have missed the appointment and spent 45 minutes driving there and back for no reason.

Desperately needs an option to add documents directly from the phone

While you can add a document from Google Drive, this is not really helpful. Calendar needs an option to add images/documents directly from the phone and from the iOS Photos app or camera. It makes no sense to have to take a photo or screenshot, upload it to Google Drive, create an appointment in Calendar, click the option to add a Google Drive document, search for your photo/screenshot/document, and attach it. Just let us attach a document from the phone! Also, it’s impossible to add reminders like 1.5 hours (90 minutes) or 2 1/4 hours. Instead, you have to choose between 60 minutes or 2 hours, neither of which are convenient.

Calendar review

Easy to manage and helps with keeping multiple people in a household on track for planning.

Improvements needed

1) have the app icon change day to day to represent the date 2) add the extra long full screen widget available on iOS 27 - I want to see the month via like what I see when I open the Google Calendar app

Why at static 31?

I use this app daily but the static 31 as the app design is horrible! Change the photo to absolutely anything else!!

Update debacle

Had an update last night and can no longer see the entire month at a glance. Not good. Will have to change calendars.

Dates out of sync

I am finding that the dates for recurring events are now wrong. An event occurring on October 18 may show a date of June 23 when opened. Sometimes the dates show past years instead of the current year.

Font too small, cannot adjust

There's a lot I like about it except that I cannot read events. I have bad eyes find small print very difficult to read. I tried adjusting per app accessibility in my settings, but the phone did not change for calendar events, only menu items in the sidebar which was not the purpose. If they ever fix that, I would download this again in a moment

Add task list without dates

Good but it doesn’t have an option to create a task without a due date and look at a list of tasks. Much prefer the computer version that allows that

Removed features were a mistake

I don’t know why or who decided to do this, but you used to be able to tap a phone number in an appointment and it gave you the option to send a text message now it only gives you the option to call. It was so nice to be able to have that feature if I wanted to text somebody that was coming to a meeting now I have to open the Calendar from the computer and then in my phone type in a new message with the phone number instead of just doing it directly from the appointment. First world problem, I know. But it was something that was so nice to have and now it has become such an inconvenience not having it.

Great app with a few bugs 🐛 🐞

Firstly, birthdays from your phone are not synced with desktop. If you want them on your desktop you’re going to have to import your contacts to Google contacts, which will then add birthdays to your desktop gcal but create duplicate events in your iOS gcal. The Google contacts birthdays also do not show how old your contacts are turning on both desktop and iOS, so if you turn off your device birthdays to show Google birthdays, you won’t get their ages. Secondly, you can’t rename your main calendar on iOS anymore, the change will only reflect on desktop. Third, you can’t reorganize your calendar list, it’s alphabetical on desktop but mixed on iOS. Fourth, the special calendars are separated on desktop but mixed on iOS, and somehow, Birthdays are listed under regular calendars on desktop as well. Idk about you but I want my non-editable calendars and the ones I created to be separate. Fifth, I just don’t like the Liquid Glass aesthetic. That’s just me though. I would still use this if it was kept. Overall, it’s a wonderful and useful app, the best calendar app out of all other options and also the most pleasing to look at. Keep it up! Please fix these bugs! 🐛 🐞🐜

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for reporting. We'd suggest you try the steps listed here, if you haven't already: https://goo.gle/4bmSuYL. Also, we'll pass on your feedback to our team. Appreciate it!

Rubbish

Why update something that has been fine over all these years?

Just a Thought

Wow—I’m trying to be grateful for the work you guys do, but we’re at a point where we have Gemini accessing our Google Calendar for Appointments and Tasks, and it doesn’t seem like we can even customize the calendar for Audio or Voice Alerts for Appointments and Tasks: Do you think we can set those two things up so we can really get some better use from the alarms? Thanks for listening…

Keeps my life organized

This app is a life saver! Please make a large size widget!! Needs to be first thing I see when I open my phone!

iOS 18+ Really?

Wow, dick move! I hate that you pricks are all in bed together. George Carlin said it best, “it’s a big old club and you ain’t in it!” Do your meetings start or end with “well damn it, we made this product to good again, profits are slipping, people out there still have perfectly working units. So we better end support on apps, and force these filthy trash animals to get an upgraded unit. But how you say, we take away support, and make their apps useless without the new device, if it don’t work, they gotta upgrade, and our profits go up! It’s wrong on all levels, but we will make billions!” Is that about how it goes? And you wonder why hackers steal programs then upload them for free, to be downloaded for free. Shame of you for ending support.

Scrolling Months Horizontally Doesn’t Make Sense

Please Please Please allow months to scroll vertically in the mobile app. That’s the only way events roll into one another. Horizontally doesn’t make sense!!
