Google Calendar is a very convenient tool to use when managing your day to day lifeespecially with another person. I do recommend it over the default calendar appbut the only dispute I have with it is that there’s a constant bug that sets your time zone to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)which is located within the UK. I’ve seen that many other people online have dealt with a similar problem and have found no real solution besides changing it manually. Unless you live in this areayou run the risk of finding out last minute that you the app has switched the time of an appointment in your calendar without notifying you. As someone who has health issues and schedules doctor visits constantlyand often times in advanceit’s frustrating to catch these thing last minute and have to battle with the app for it to stay corrected. It seems this bug does not affect all usersas the other person in my calendar does not experience this and all settings within the app and my phone itself are set to the correct time zone. Unfortunately for me it simply becomes aggravating after a while. Google I pray you fix this bug for the sake of my sanity. Thank you.

Googleif you read thisFIX IT PLEASE!!!I’ve used Google calendar for years and loved it. Howevera recent update has removed a core functionality I’ve appreciated and relied on since I started using this app as my primary calendar. You used to be able to choose which view you wanted to see when tapping on an individual day from the month overview: You could make the default either “day” (which is broken down in an hourly time-block format for only the date you select)or “schedule” (which displays a list of your overall events/tasks starting on the day you selectwith the ability to scroll continuously to see events for other days). I MUCH prefer the schedule view because it’s more concise and you don’t have to scroll to see everything. You also don’t have to back out to the monthly view or use the month dropdown to see a different day’s eventsas you could continuously scroll to it. Viewing the schedule is still an option on its ownhowever it is no longer possible to make this the default daily view when selecting a date from the monthly overview.This significantly retracts from the ease and appeal of using this app for me. I hate to say itbut I’m seriously considering switching to a different calendar application if this doesn’t get fixedwhich frustrates me because I have actual YEARS of events archived in Google calendar. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

After a few months of very laggyunresponsivedisappointing app behaviorI finally have had enough to leave a review in the hopes that it will help someone on the app team realize just how bad things have gottenat least for me (my wife has the same issues on her iOS devices as wellso it’s not something unique to my account). I was surprised to see how many other reviews I have found with almost exactly the same issues that I have. The fact that the other reviewers have been reporting consistently issues since at least the beginning of 2018 with no improvement is nearly inexcusable.My primary issues in a nutshell - 1) often app opens to random dates at initial launch; 2) after initial app loadit generally takes 60-90 seconds (sometimes much longer) before the UI is responsive; 3) once everything has finally loaded (if I have not given up and force quit it already) there is way too much UI lag and sputtering as I try to navigate through different UI views — full monthdaily agendaetc. These issues combined render the app nearly useless for me in most everyday use cases.As an app developer myselfI can appreciate the complexity of creating a performantwell-functioning app. Howevergiven how awesome this app used to beand the level of satisfaction I expect from an app by GoogleI’m just so frustrated and disappointed. I can’t understand why these issues have not received attention yet.

I initially gave this app five stars because this is the only family calendar that allows me to input everything that I need for my entire family for them to be able to see and work with what we have going on. Either the update before the one that was sent out or two updates agothere was an update through the app where there was a bar across the very top that listed the months and you just slid that back-and-forth and you could click on a specific month and it would take you directly to that calendar. But with this last update that option was taken away and so now I’m finding myself having to slide the calendars multiple times just to get to the monthly calendar months ahead. I’ll write it back five stars once y’all bring that crucial key back. Because sliding the calendar from right to left to go through the month till I get to the one that I needed when the app lags because of that optionI don’t understand why you guys would take it away. Because being able to click the month that I need and the app take me directly to that month with no lag with no force closures was better than what we have right now.
