Google Calendar: Get Organized
authentic ratingGoogle Calendar is strong on the web and Android: fast, multi-calendar, deeply linked to Gmail. On iOS it has a chronic history of regressions: every update breaks something basic. Reminders disappear from the notification center when the app is open. Event edits do not save. The icon is stuck on 31. Web features are unavailable on mobile. Users are switching back to Apple Calendar.

About the rating
The lowest five-star share in the set (77%) with a text average of 2.57. An honest profile of a product with real problems. Criticism is detailed, specific, and often accompanied by screenshots. Organic.
Strengths
What users love
- Multi-level color calendars visible simultaneously. Schedule view gives a compact overview weeks ahead. Instant sync with the web version. Google Tasks integration appears directly in the day grid.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Reminders disappear from the pull-down shade when the app is open on another tab. Saving event changes is unreliable: edits silently fail to apply. Every update removes or breaks navigation users just got used to. The app icon does not change its date.
Who it is for
Android users or those running work email in Gmail who want to see meeting invites. On iPhone only if willing to tolerate regressions after every update.
