I also schedule and host calls with clients outside of my business network on a regular basis. The invite process is very straightforward to use, as is beginning the call. > > **Cons**: Selecting times between the hours on Google calendar can be fiddly. It would also be helpful if it remembered email addresses being invited from previous meetings so I did not have to approve a user outside of my business organisation being invited each time. > > An important part of my Google workspace apps - very handy for business task reminders and setting up calls with clients faster than scheduling a Zoom meeting ----- ### "Excellent tool for organizing schedules and daily tasks" — 5.0/5 > **Mailen** | *23 May 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Google Calendar is how easy it is to organize appointments, reminders, and daily activities in one place. The interface is simple and user-friendly, even for beginners. I also like the email reminders and notifications that help me avoid missing important meetings or events. The option to cancel and reschedule appointments quickly is very convenient. It syncs perfectly across devices, which makes managing schedules much easier. > > **Cons**: One thing I liked least is that sometimes notifications can arrive late or not sync properly between devices. Customer support is limited unless you use paid Google Workspace services. Also, when internet connection is poor, some updates may take time to appear. > > My overall experience with Google Calendar has been very positive. It is a reliable and practical tool for managing appointments, reminders, work schedules, and personal events. The platform is easy to use and offers excellent value for money because many features are free. I especially appreciate the ability to share calendars with family or coworkers and quickly reschedule events when plans change. Overall, it has helped me stay more organized and productive every day. ----- ### "Great to bring structure in your life" — 5.0/5 > **Kobie** | *27 June 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Google Calendar\!\! It’s something that I use on the daily bc I’m the type of person who likes to have things planned and structure. > > **Cons**: Nothing. I’m really familiar with this app and like I said I use this all the time and I enjoy it. Great app to organize. ----- ### "Works But Needs Better Integration with Gmail to Create Events" — 3.0/5 > **Nava** | *26 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to access from both my desktop and phone, I can get to calendar details very quickly and most of all I'm able to search past events because sometimes I need the date an event happened. > > **Cons**: What I like least about Google Calendar is that in 2026 it should be smarter and know how to automatically create an calendar event from an email that has a date, time, location, etc. Instead all it knows how to do is create an blank meeting where you still have to fill in all those details yourself. > > Generally good but that's just because I'm used to it. However, everything I have to manually create a meeting from an email that has all the details in it I get annoyed and wonder why they don't prioritize this common task. ----- ### "BEST APP FOR STAYING ORGANIZED\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nikki** | *23 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Google Calendar is how simple and intuitive it is to use while still being powerful. It makes scheduling effortless with features like easy event creation, reminders, and color-coded organization so I can keep track of everything at a glance. The ability to sync across all devices and share calendars with others also makes coordinating schedules with teams or family really convenient. > > **Cons**: One thing I liked least about Google Calendar is that it can feel a bit cluttered when you’re managing multiple calendars at once. Notifications and reminders can also become overwhelming if they’re not carefully managed, and customizing certain views or settings isn’t always as flexible or intuitive as it could be. > > Overall, my experience with Google Calendar has been very positive. It’s a reliable and user-friendly tool that makes it easy to stay organized, manage schedules, and keep track of important events. The seamless syncing across devices and integration with other tools helps streamline both personal and work planning. While there are a few minor drawbacks, like occasional clutter with multiple calendars, it consistently delivers as a dependable and efficient scheduling solution. ----- Page: 1 / 169\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/171751/google-calendar?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/171751/google-calendar) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
