Google Calendar Reviews

Google Calendar is a freaking spectacular calender tool for scheduling.

Comments: Google Calendar has assisted me to get my work in order by helping me to plan for my events, occasions and create schedules for my daily tasks. It has helped me to keep my working environment well organized by putting it clear what am supposed to do and when to do it.

Pros:

Google Calendar has the cleanest user interface which makes it easy to add schedules for tasks and events. Adding new events to my calendar is so easy and effortless. It offers very advanced security features which help ensure that all the personal data is safeguarded and kept safe.

Cons:

Google Calendar has always hit the target for me and I have not seen a thing to complain about.

Great Calendar with seamless integrations

Comments: I really appreciate how Google Calendar integrates smoothly with other Google services, making it easy to manage my schedule.
But, I find the lack of extensive customization options frustrating, as I would like more control over how my calendar looks and functions.

Pros:

It seamlessly integrates with other Google services like Gmail, Google Meet, and Google Tasks, making it easy to manage schedules and appointments. The ability to set up recurring events with flexible options (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) helps users manage ongoing commitments effortlessly.

Cons:

While Calendar offers some customization, sometimes it feels that there are not enough options to personalize the interface or the way events are displayed.

Asleep at the wheel, Google Calendar needs to catch up

Comments: Digital calendars have become a core source of truth for planning and day-to-day work and life management. To serve their users today, calendar apps need to be as frictionless as possible while maximising user freedom to differentiate between work and life, events and tasks, and to easily connect to as many types of other software as possible. Once a trailblazing titan of the industry, in the past decade Google Calendar has sadly been innovating as a snail innovates the concrete it glides across. Simple, basic usability improvements like setting the visible length of the day have been available on other calendar apps for almost a decade now, while Google Calendar has actually removed this feature. The only time that I log into Google Calendar now is when the GCal API is actively prohibiting other calendar software of doing something. A lane needs to be picked here: either open up your architecture and serve the ideals that the company was based on, or remain a closed system but modernise.

Pros:

Fast & easy to access, with colours that are easy on the eyes, and a no-frills experience of setting up

Cons:

An outdated and cumbersome calendar configurator, aging architecture, missing core features, horrible troubleshooting.

Google Calendar is the best

Comments: Overall very positive. I'd like to see it work better with Macbooks and Apple products, yet I know that is because Apple doesn't want other products to work well in their environment.

Pros:

Works very well as a main calendar application. Works well on Windows & Android.

Cons:

Hard to sync up with Microsoft Teams and Calendar.

Highly useful, intuitive calendar management

Comments: I find Google Calendar very useful, simple to use and easy to onboard new staff and users.

Pros:

Simple to understand and navigate, simple to teach to new users

Cons:

I wish Apple reminders could sync with Google Calendar. Or, Google Tasks were an app Siri could manage with voice commands as the Apple Reminders is. I use reminders all the time and it'd be great if for work (where I use Google Workspace) I could use voice to text for Tasks.

Excellent tool

Comments: It's been fantastic tool for our business. We have a third-party app connected that sends reminders for our business appointments. The combination has saved us a lot of money and frustration into reducing missed appointments.

Pros:

Can access from multiple device types as long as there is an Internet access. Can share with others Can add other calendars to it It's free to use

Cons:

When someone shares appointments, it sometimes creates an entirely new calendar.

LOVE Google Calendar

Comments: Im a huge fan these days. I also like that it will read incoming emails and offer meeting suggestions.

Pros:

I love that I can send all my clients to their newer *booking page for my live availability. It streamlines so much back and forth that I would typically need to do in order to book each appt. I LOVE it, been a life saver.

Cons:

When I had used google cal in the past, I didnt think it was as user friendly but over the last couple years, it has been working very well between my different email accounts and connecting with my phone.

meetings made easy!

Comments: It makes company-wide communication so eazy!
Even from building to building/ site to site, it eliminates the need to call several people to just to find out what meeting is being held in which room!

Pros:

The ability to communicate a schedule with your entire team is so valuable.

Cons:

This might be on my lack of knowledge- or how to do it, but I would like a smaller customizable widget that remains on the screen while other apps/windows are open.

Google Calendar is an Excellent Choice

Pros:

Hi, we have tried other calendars and they were horrible. Google provides the best platform and is reliable, consistent and easy to use.

Cons:

No customer service help ever. It is impossible to get any help if you can't find what you need online.

Google Calendar Saves My Life

Pros:

Google Calendar is easy to use and connect with work and family dates.

Cons:

When you have a lot of calendars it can get a little overwhelming but that just because I’m busy.

Stay up to Date with Google

Comments: Thanks to Google Calendar, I have been on top of all of my personal, social, and work events, appointments, and emails. Google's integration and synchronization will keep me a loyal user for years to come. I have been so for 13 years and plan to double this, easily.

Pros:

I first started using Google Calendar at the age of 12. Being 25 now it has made scheduling, remembering, and managing multiple schedules effortless. The synchronization and integration across multiple Google platforms have been my favorite.

Cons:

A major disadvantage is Google's customer support. I ran into an issue where my account was accessed elsewhere without my knowledge. Al of my data, photos, accounts were accessed, altered, and deleted. I sought Google's help for months. Not only did they take months to reach out to me, but they were also no help whatsoever in the end.

Still loving Google Calendar!

Comments: My overall experience is awesome! I try to use all the capabilities and features that comes with calendar. I code all my calendars with different colors, I use all the fields when creating events that might help me remember details of what I need to do.

Pros:

In general I am a big fan of Google accounts and all the products that come with them. I love how Google Calendar help me stay organized for my private and professional life. I like the fact that I can have different calendars and turn them off an on whenever I need. I like the reminders and how they can be customized. The flexibility of giving access to different people and also a different role. So many things that I love, but I cannot left out the fact that both the mobile app and the computer one are both easy to deploy, manage and check.

Cons:

I don't have many complaints about it. Something that bother me though s when I am scheduling an event and sometimes I have some trouble for Google calendar to automatically recognize email addresses that I use frequently. I don't know why this happens, it's not all the time, but it's annoying to be looking for those email addresses in my gmail.

Amazing Calendar and Scheduling Software - Highly Recommend!

Comments: Google Calendar replaced our outdated paper calendar system years ago, and we've been happy users both personally and professionally for over 15 years. I highly recommend Google Calendar to other users, especially Outlook folks who are still stuck accessing their calendar from desktop machines only. It's time to make the switch.

Pros:

Google Calendar is our company's go-to calendar software, and my personal as well. From visibility of scheduling, to integrating with other calendars, to sharing and scheduling events together, Google Calendar is top notch. I personally integrate my business and personal calendars on the same view, and use the reminders feature as a running to-do list of all I need to accomplish in running both my personal and professional life. I can integrate/share calendars with my employees or family. I can also import and export calendars from other applications, such as our reservation system, which is really helpful for our staff.

Cons:

I have no complaints at all - just the irony of having too many events on my calendar, but I'm very grateful that Google is able to track and maintain my complicated life for me.

My business wouldn't function without Google Calendar

Comments: This is the most essential tool for working effectively as a solopreneur with clients from all over the globe. I would have lost countless clients, time, and money due to scheduling mishaps over the years if it weren't for Google Calendar.

Pros:

Everything is instantly integrated, updated, and synced to take into account my availability, scheduling preferences, and time zone. When working with international clients I never have scheduling misunderstandings, something that happened to me frequently before switching to Google Calendar.

Cons:

I wish that the bookable appointment scheduler could automatically connect with Zoom easily to have the links provided to those who book upon scheduling.

Best overall value out there!

Comments: I've used several calendar clients and Google's own is still the most efficient and the one that doesn't give me headaches with syncing or any other thing.
The possibility to create reminders and tasks is amazing too, very few if any, have that integration with events and reminders/tasks. It's great.

Pros:

Simple interface, important features all present, easy to schedule any event, great syncing and the possibility to create reminders and/or tasks is a deal breaker.

Cons:

The UI needs some refinement and a much needed update. That's all, everything else is great.

Best Way to Keep Your Team Organized

Pros:

Google calendar is the best calendar our company has used. I really appreciate how easy it is for our team to use, it notifies all of us of any changes, so we can all really keep on top of our team and what's going on. We've used other calendars that just never seemed to sync right, or some people weren't able to see what others inputted. Nothing we ever used was ever as organized and efficient as google calendar.

Cons:

The only issue we had at first, was some people were confused since they had their own personal calendar and a company calendar. They were writing on their own calendar instead ot eh company's, so not everyone was able to see their availability and comments. We learned you had to completely uncheck your calendar in order to use the teams one, so I just think that part could've been a bit more straight forward/user friendly.

Google Calendar - my personl experience

Comments: It has all the capacities that you would anticipate from a schedule. Also, some more - updates by means of instant message (which is brilliant for certain occasions), pop-up messages on portable and work area, repeating occasions and so forth Google Calendar is as yet in its essential structure and it can really develop into a gathering scheduler or booking application itself. I imagine that component is inadequate. Something else is that when you're being cautioned for a gathering, Google springs up in your whole program window and prevents you from seeing what you were taking a gander at in your present tab. It tends to be irritating in case you're dealing with something significant.

Pros:

The Calendar application has an extraordinary UI and is smooth and instinctive. The best part is the examination. The manner in which it can show me who I invest the most energy with is something I haven't found in a schedule application previously. It appears they are centered around time the executives and effectiveness and not only day arranging! While I've attempted distinctive Calendar programming over the previous years, I discovered Calendar.com to be the most astute among them all. As somebody who goes to a ton of gatherings with planned customers, Calendar let me give possibilities choices to pick between various areas with a location alongside every one. The Calendar portable application for iOS makes it simple to make, see, and deal with my occasions. The product is ideal for organizations that have a far off group spread across the globe in various time regions. It's anything but difficult to speak with our engineers who are both in Europe and Asian nations. The genuine pearl of Calendar lies in its Transcription include. I can record each word said in a gathering. So if there's any time I need to return to significant minutes during the gathering, I can do that effortlessly.

Cons:

Can only be accessed by internet access so it will be nice if google will change this

Organize your life with schedules and reminders

Absolutely essential!!

Comments: A free, lightweight, clever Google app that can be used as one of the ultimate organization / productivity tools

Pros:

It's free, and it gets better and better. There's lots of clever functionalities included. I am 100% dependent on Calendar + Calendly to keep my life organized. The Google Calendar app on Android allows easy one-glance viewing across multiple Google account calendars as well as multiple calendars associated with a single Google account.

Cons:

The vulnerability of having all Google apps and accounts linked, and possible privacy issues at having your whole life on Google apps. It's both useful and rather creepy how events are plucked from Gmail and added automatically to my calendar. Wish the Android app has text formatting options like bold/bullets etc for the event description, similar to the desktop version. It's fine if that's a low priority but I really dislike that the text formatting done in desktop is removed if the event is edited on the phone app. Also wish it has a more refined way to auto accept/decline event invitations by default based on the sender. That said, I'd say these cons knock off just 1 point out of 100 points I'd award Google Calendar.

The calendar and simple wizard

Comments: It is a calendar and assistant in its point, give what they offer in the purest style of Google, ie offer several functions that only Google can give you, besides being synchronized with your contacts and holidays depending on the country you are, is an excellent calendar for those small to medium businesses, I would highly recommend it, more if you have the Google Workspace.

Pros:

It is a calendar and assistant created by Google, which makes your life easier if you are a person who is good at forgetting appointments, meetings, or any activity which requires a place and time. This calendar is based on a fairly simple and familiar interface so that anyone can manage and schedule or schedule appointments quite easily, I have been comparing it with the Microsoft calendar, and one of its strengths of Google is that with the familiar face of google, it is even more practical and easy to see with its colors that distinguish google, it is a more dynamic calendar in every way.

Cons:

What I did not like so much about this calendar, is that in order to access all its features such as scheduling appointments, scheduling different times for those appointments, even putting the locations of those appointments, etc... You must have a premium google account, so to speak, which is the Google Workspace. It is a service for small to medium-scale businesses, but it is an important factor that you have to pay to use all the features of the calendar. Considering the wide variety of calendars on the market, this is a negative point.

Google Calendar is a Must Have for Home and Work

Comments: Google Calendar ensures that I arrive on time for clients, events, meetings, and social fun with friends. It helps me organise my tasks and it syncs beautifully with other programs essential to my work and my life. With the pandemic, it's become even more important for me, as I have so many online activities to coordinate. I look back on the days of using paper calendars as the Stone Age. I can't imagine going through life without having my day at my fingertips. Thank you, Google!

Pros:

I love how Google Calendar puts all my tasks, events, meetings, and appointments in one place. I can colour code for "at a glance" knowledge of how my day is unfolding. I love that it shows up on all of my devices, so that if I make a change on one device, it automatically changes it on all others. Cloud-based programming means never having to worry that if my Internet goes down, I've lost my calendar. I love that I can sync it with appointment and event programs as well as my video call program. It's easy to coordinate meetings with others by adding their emails to meetings to create instant invites. I would have to say that Google Calendar is the program I refer to most during my day, along with Gmail.

Cons:

I would like a seamless way to download the calendar by year for future reference. When I am saving a Zoom session to Google Calendar, the window for the event is often very small. Other than these issues, I find Google Calendar to be stable, reliable, and an excellent resource for organising at home and at the office.

The best free scheduling app available

Comments: I have used Google Calendar for several years along with the rest of Google's suite of programs. I think it's the best scheduling app that is available for free, including Microsoft Outlook, which is unusual because I almost always prefer Microsoft's alternatives to Google apps.

Pros:

My favorite thing about Google Calendar is the fact that it syncs across any device you might have, ensuring that you have your schedule totally available at all times. Also, it integrates with the rest of Google's suite of software.

Cons:

My least favorite thing about Google Calendar is the fact that it sometimes interacts oddly with any native calendar apps that may be available on your device. This can be fixed pretty easily by ensuring that Google Calendar is your default calendar app.

Google Calendar.. The Best in Calendar and Organizer Apps.

Comments: I've been using Google Calendar for quite a long time, and simple love it as it's only evolving more useful by including new functions and features with time as updates roll out. I can quickly find out about major events for each month and organize my own schedule to receive alerts at the correct time.

Pros:

Google Calendar is more than just a calendar and is a powerful tool. It not only displays date months and days with holidays and social, national and religious events, but it also functions as a personal organiser. You may use it to create your schedule and appointments. It's the ideal calendar tool, especially if you use Gmail, because it effortlessly interacts with it and even remembers your contacts' birthdays. It offers a highly pleasing and intuitive user interface, which is enhanced by background design photos and fantastic animations. It comes with a high level of integration and efficiency while being simple and straightforward to use. It allows you to simply share your schedule with others and ensures that you never miss an important notifications.

Cons:

After editing a recurring event to a different day, It sometimes is a trouble getting the original recurring day to delete. However, I eliminate the old recurring event and begin a fresh one to simply sort this problem. Apart from the above problem, its an all good to use app.

My Goto Calendar (Simple but effective)

Comments: Overall, Microsoft Outlook is my 'official' calendar that I use at my work (office), and Google Calendar covers up everything else - my personal commitments, my personal projects, appointments, scheduling personal chores, and focus time.

Pros:

This is hands-down, a simple calendar that I fall back on after testing other calendars. So far, this is my 2nd best (after Microsoft Outlook) calendar. Google Calendar has very good keyboard shortcuts and does a good job of syncing with my other accounts that can integrate with it.

Cons:

Outlook is #1 in my opinion in its efficiency and effectiveness when it comes to doing everything that surrounds a calendar for productivity. Google calendar's top-most 'cons' in my opinion is its not great when it comes to sending reminder notifications on my browser or mobile. It doesn't work all the time - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This is one BIG pet peeve I have on Google Calendar.

GOOGLE Calendar is One of the Best Calendars I've Used

Comments: I have nothing but great things to say about the application. I would love for the notification to ring or vibrate when more than one event is scheduled for a time block unless it is a notification for something like a holiday or bill due if it is a physical event I think we need prior notification bells. Other than that I love and really enjoy this convenient application.

Pros:

IT'S FREE!! I enjoy the fact that it keeps track of my schedule, birthdays, bills due, events holidays, and reminders it literally keeps track of everything without me doing it myself. It syncs well with my Google Assistant and it works seamlessly through all devices in real-time. It even captures meeting times from emails I receive without me physically having to add them. I couldn't be happier.

Cons:

I have been in a position where I have actually booked more than one meeting at the same time because I was not notified that I already had a meeting scheduled based on Google Calendar capturing the time from an email I received before I could even read the email. If there was a notification that let me know I already had something booked for the same time slot I would have adjusted the scheduling of the meeting accordingly.
