Google Calendar



A Calendar App Par Excellence



Google Calendar is Google's calendar app and can be synched with all of your Gmail accounts for better organization. We look at the app's features and help you decide if the built-in calendar app in your phone should be replaced with this app or not!

Google Calendar has a very wonderful interface and the app is designed keeping in mind the various requirements of its diverse user base. The app has five different viewing options that segregate your calendar as per your requirements. The 'Schedule' view is the default viewing option and it summarizes all your tasks, reminders, events and goals. The view also shows the holidays with a green color to ensure that you can distinguish between events and holidays and do not get confused. The view only shows you dates where you have something planned and skips the dates where you have nothing to do. This means that while you would know what you are doing on a few dates, you will not be able to find the free spots in your calendar where you can plan something different. The app keeps you covered though by offering other viewing options to cater to these requirements.

Apart from Schedule, there are four other viewing options namely 'Day', '3 Days', 'Week' and 'Month'. The 'Day' view shows you a dissection of your work by the hour. If you have nothing planned, you will see the entire day with no activities and you can tap on any time slot in order to add an event and add the people who will be a part of the event too. The '3 Days' and 'Week' view shows you your schedule for the next three days and the next week respectively. These views are useful if you want to plan a multi-day activity and need to know if your time slots are free for the next few days. The 'Month' view is slightly different as it doesn't show you the time slots by the hour but provides you a list of activities you will be performing on each day of the month.

The calendar app also has a great option of adding three types of activities namely Goal, Reminder and Event. The Goal option is great for people who want to work towards a certain task. There are five types of goals available and once you choose a type, Google will prompt you for common goals in the section but you can create a custom goal too. You are then chosen how often you want to focus on the goal and the time of the day when you want to do the activity. The app will then notify you of how the calendar will schedule the activity once you are done with all your choices and you can go back to your calendar view and see if it is conflicting with any activity or not.

The Reminder option is a lot simpler and requires you to title the reminder. You can decide the time and date of the reminder and if you want the reminder to repeated or not. The Event option requires a title, date and time slot and you can add people to the event too after seeing if they are available in the time slot or not. You can add attachments and description for the event and inform if the event will be at a particular location or will be conducted via video conferencing.
