Cari in Fort Wayne, Indiana asked us about Google Calendar:
I’m a mom of teen boys and we stay organized with Google Calendar. We had all our schedule on there. My husband and my phones are Android and my boys are iPhone. We were all able to update the calendar and keep synced. Over the last year, with updates, it’s not working so great. Is there another app, or can we somehow fix Google Calendar?
Cari, we also use a shared Google Calendar to stay organized, and we also sync it across iPhones and Android phones, as well as plenty of different Windows and Mac computers running different operating systems, but it seems to still be working just fine for us.
What problems are you seeing? If it’s an issue with keeping it synced, you can try using Google’s own Calendar app on all of your devices. That app is built by Google to talk to Google’s servers and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t sync. Having said that, we have no trouble using any Androids or iPhones different built-in calendars.
If you can send us some more information about your specific issues, we’ll gladly look into them. As far as what we tell from our own calendars, Google’s service seems to be working fine.
