My biggest complaint with the automatic events has always been the inability to treat them as my own events. If I want to make any changes to the event, I have to copy it to my calendar. Doing so means there are now two versions of the same event, and the one I copied will not automatically update if there is a change. I've seen the automatic events update when, for example, my itinerary changes.
I also hate that reminders do not get shared with other events and are google calendar exclusive. This means I can't use a third party calendar app on my phone if I want to use reminders.
- devocracy 9y agoIf they were worried about the underlying problem of merge conflicts, the easiest solution would be the creation of a private notes field for any event shared with you. That way any event updates wouldn't collide with personal notes and you wouldn't need to duplicate events.
- shoover 9y agoUgh. Google Calendar reminders are handled perfectly on Android. You get a notification, and it stays there every time you look at your phone until you clear it. On iOS, even with Google Calendar installed, you get the notification one time (as if for a one-time event) and then it disappears into the app. I assume iOS Reminders work better than this, but I'm dependent on Google Calendar. I have not figured out a workaround for notifications since switching and I am now a less reliable person. Why does the Google Calendar app not manage iOS reminder notifications as it does on Android? Have I horked a notification setting unawares?
