A change to Google Calendar?? First time since when… 2005?
this is rolling out to Google Apps users first (you have to enable it). It looks cool, I've got it enabled, but it will break some extensions if you use those.

No update love for me with that link. :-/ Guess I'll just keep waiting.

@_jacksmith lovely! I guess I'll update it right now.
Long term user of Google Calendar and always been a huge advocate. There are probably better calendar apps out there but the way Google auto syncs my events and flights (from emails) is something that I can't live without.
Pros:
Seems like everything will flow way better with what I've already got in iOS. I'm still in love with material design.
Cons:
Still wish they did reminders in a slightly more intuitive way.

Thank you!

Every time Google updates a design it increases the size of the fonts, make bigger buttons and add more white space. Why? Not everybody wants less information in the page.
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
The labs complements stopped working. At least the ones I used, like the world clock

World Clock is still there. It's now a setting. I miss it being on the right though. It now appears on the left when you turn it on.
@jkhco@renato_ruk You need to manually enable it for your G-Suite users from Admin Panel > Apps > Calendar > Enable new calendar.

@jkhco@naitik_17 Great! Thank you for the quick reply, switching between the new (private account) and the old one (business) would definitely be an odd experience. :)
@jkhco@renato_ruk if you have a Google Business account, then follow the instructions here: https://support.google.com/a/ans...
"To choose the Manual option, go to Apps > G Suite > Calendar > New Calendar. Here, you can set by organizational unit when you’d like your users to access the new version of the Calendar UI."

One of the much awaited features.!
