HEY Calendar

But how do I add photo background for particular day on the iPhone?

I love the hybrid digital & paper calendar approach. Including the weekly tasks also matches how i manage my time. However, integrations with external calendars are too limited. I will not migrate my whole family calendar from Google, as it requires a Hey subscription for every person. Also, I can’t see the details of my corporate account events after subscribing (my company policy). So I’m stuck between Hey and Notion Calendar. Lately only using the latter one for convenience. I had the same issue with adopting my Hey email account. This was eventually solved by allowing sending emails directly from my Google address from Hey. I hope something similar (Notion-like Google calendar integration) is on the roadmap. Thanks!

It’s inspiring to see different approaches in app development, and ‘Hey Calendar’ is a testament to that. This app stands out in the market, showcasing the team’s ability to innovate and think outside the box — a skill they previously demonstrated with ‘Hey Email.’ Calendar offers a refreshing change that’s both interesting and practical for everyday use. It ingeniously blends the best aspects of digital calendars with the traditional feel of paper calendars, resulting in an enjoyable and practical tool. Using Hey Calendar is a joy. I highly recommend it if you’re eager to embrace something new and refreshing. It’s simple yet features clever functionalities that are absent in other calendar apps

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.
