Calendar 366 for Android

Google’s widget doesn’t

You can time block tasks & events within this app. I see this feature asked for a lot in productivity forums, so if you’re searching for one, here’s your PSA. This app was surprising in that it allows users to place & set duration for tasks (Google reminders) in calendar day view (the one with event blocks). Most calendar apps don’t do that. If you’re looking for a calendar app that mimics Sorted 3’s or Structured’s ability to do this, you’ve found it. Other than that, it’s a pretty standard calendar app with a good range of features, a one-time purchase, consistent updates, and a solid interface.

Update: can you add a next event widget for the Android (lock screen and home screen) like the one for the Google Watch? The current next appointment widget keeps all day events in the view when I’d rather see the next timed event. This calendar app is phenomenal and syncs with all of my calendars. I really like the different views you can choose from and feel it has a view for each one of my needs. Syncs well and I really enjoy being able to see my task or reminders in the app as well. I’m a big fan that they did not go to subscription route and instead is a one time payment. Highly recommend this Calendar app for anyone that is looking for a calendar that syncs well, includes your task and reminders, and has a responsive developer.

I really want to give this app 5 stars, but I’m holding back 2 stars for the following 2 issues: 1 - App hides time zone in a more options choice that is only available on editing of an entry. Really need to be able to access time zone at event entry and as a preference setting for folks that travel (auto detect) and for home bodies (set time zone). App in 24 hour mode defaults to Greenwich and you have to edit entrees to your time zone manually one by one. 2 - App should be smart about 12/24 hour time entering for events. I hate having to do the conversion of PM events manually in my head. You should be able to type 6:30 pm and have it covert to 18:30 automatically and vice versa. Make it easy to enter either and see it displayed in your preferred format. Would make transcribing events easier. Otherwise a great app.

Literally only needs 1 feature to be perfect and that’s event and task templates so it’s easier to enter events and tasks when you do shift work. Add that and it’s complete.
