HEY Calendar

Drag and drop appointment, be flexible quickly and sync with other email clients

The 4-stars are for intuitive guides with instructions to link other calendars.m ensuring I am not missing important meetings. Navigating hey calendar is as with everything. However, I haven’t found how to invite others to meetings.

Okay so I completely understand wanting to build for yourself, not for other platforms. However, it’s pretty limiting to have a calendar app that doesn’t sync with the other major services. I have the same critique of Notion Calendar :/

I’m not impressed with the Hey Calendar yet. I’m confident that it will improve over time but i’m not really sold on using it yet. I’m less willing to use it compared to traditional OS calendar applications. Why is there no Month view for example? That seems obvious. Why is time tracking divorced from events? That seems like lazy design. I sent off a couple of feedback emails about features that feel half-finished and got pretty bland “Hey Mail doesn’t do that” responses. Yeah, I know. That’s what I said. Still waiting for greatness but this ain’t it yet.

It’s the best calendar. I know this because I’ve used other calendars and they are not the best. This calendar is #1 and then probably #2.

Overall, it’s a great app. My favorite part is the “sometimes this week” feature. I didn’t think I’d use it at first, but now I really love it. My only dislike is the inability to write to apple or gmail calendars (especially apple). If the developers could somehow get apple to let them add that functionality, it’d be 5 stars.

I canceled my subscription while planning a trip to a location where internet would be spotty when I got there & while traveling. I feel uncomfortable not knowing if I can access emails related to travel on a plane with no internet. I love HEY but I’ve been stung once and now print emails or save as a PDF. But HEY Calendar schedules might also suffer from this. I literally do not want to test and validate that I’ll need internet to see an itinerary or events in general. This isn’t a feature that hasn’t been implemented, it’s a flaw.

Calendar is getting better and better BUT please add an option for event repeat to occur on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th [insert day of week] of the month. For example, "repeat every 1st Friday of the month." This missing item is my one reason it's not 5 stars.

I like the methodology behind it. But it feels a little slow. Not sure why. Feels like I’m clicking “on” things instead of interacting with the things themselves. Just enough to make me want to use the stock calendar. Also—and maybe more importantly—no caldav support. Once that’s there, it’ll be easier to spend more time with it as a daily tool. Again, great start.

I like the UI well enough, and the integration with Hey email is nice. Without integration with Calendly or similar, and without support for other clients like Outlook or Gmail, I don’t see enough benefit. I’m afraid I’ll be voting this one off the island.
