Great video, as always. Steve. I love Google Calendar on my iPhone. One neat little trick with respect to views. I, like you, run in schedule mode by default. The rest of the options don’t thrill me. But, on occasion if I want to see my week at a glance, a quick 90 degree turn of the phone into landscape and Google Calendar gives you a 1 week view! Rotating back to landscape reverts back to your previous view. Neat little trick. I really like the new video format; both the new graphics and the content. Keep up the great work!

@AlDunbar 2 жыл бұрын

That 90 degree trick is great when you are in schedule view mode. But it also works for other view modes: month, 3 day and day. It even works in week mode, where it is more useful than it sounds: in landscape the day columns are wider, so show more text for each event. Also if you navigate away from the week initially shown, that change is reflected in the view another 90 degree turn takes you back to.

He doesn't need to see my whole calendar, but I can't figure out how to add something specifically to the second calendar except on a desktop. Thanks in advance.

Im a new user to Google calendar - I have just decided to try a digital instead of the old lady paper planner in my purse 😂! My problem is that as part of my regular schedule, I'd like to hilight certain days that alternate but generally stay the same without setting an actual event. When I glance at my calendar, I already know green (or whatever color) means the same thing. Mostly I use it as a quick future reference. Do you know of a quick way to do this on the mobile app?? Thanks!

@WoodHughes 6 жыл бұрын

I grew up with a sheet of paper TO DO list. It seems to me that either GOALS or REMINDERS should allow you to rank your TO DO’s this way also. Maybe even fill in blanks on the calendar with A or B priority items that can be accomplished in the given amount of time.

I was also hoping to have it display stating the day at 7AM instead of 1AM, but I don't know how to do it. Desktop I use the Mac and I'm good... it's just the mobile version that doesn't seem to have as many options.

Hey Steve. I totally agree that Google Calendar is where it's at. Combining Google Calendar with Todoist is what keeps me on point for personal appointments and tasks. On the **Goal** option in Calendar, I would like to add my two cents to the conversation. It turns out that when you first set up a goal, Google Calendar does find the wholes in your calendar based on the frequency you tell it to and adds the events there as a starting point. However, with every goal event arrival, GCalendar asks for user confirmation if the goal event was done or not. It is with the user input that GCalendar starts to learn over time the user preference and, in turn, adjusts the goal events to days and times. In the course of a few weeks, and with continuous input, you should have goal events on days and times which reflect your personal habit pattern. The screct sauce, then, is that constant user input. The more input confirmation, the more personalized the goal events will be. Last point here, the Goals feature **targets people who want to accomplish things but are not too savvy on how to build habit.*** Goals starts them out with a generic pattern based on some initial information and, with user input and machine learning, helps them out with an eventual personalized pattern of events, thus, contributing to the formation of positive habit.

Thank you for the video. Do you know if the 'tasks' (a to-do list available on the desktop) function can be activated in the App? I like to use it on the desktop because it is a list of things to do that do not necesarily need to happen at a certain time or day, and they only go away if I check the box next to it (hence a checklist). Examples of this could include: find dog's collar, buy bananas, write to Gina, etc. Thank you.

With most applications on our Android phones we can zoom in to get a bigger picture of the screen by pressing two fingers and moving them apart. On my desktop computer we can zoom in by pressing control and the +. However, on our Android phones we don't seem to be able to zoom in when using the calendar app, which has led us to stop using the Google calendar since several family members are unable to read the small text. Using the web browser seemed to have the same limitation for Google calendar, but not for other web sites. Is there a way to zoom into a Google calendar on our phones to make the text bigger for this app?

Help, I cannot get my work calendar, listed under other calendars, to show events that I type in. This is a shared calendar that all Home Inspectors in my group use to post availability so that our scheduler can make assignments accordingly. It worked OK last week. At that time, when i highlighted the event button, a window opened with both of my calendars on it, I would highlight the work calendar, type in availability, hit save, it would appear on calendar. Now, the work calendar option not appear when I hit the plus sign to add an event. I have un checked my personal calendar, but the event entries still come up as a personal entry, (its in a different color than all the other entries)and my scheduler cannot see it. Any ideas? Our group of inspectors use iPads to do this.
