Google Calendar is rolling out a new look for users. Click here to enable it on your person Google accounts (look for the "Use New Google Calendar" button on the top right). For company accounts, ask your admin to enable it✨
*Pros*: Looks nicer, layout makes better use of space
*Cons*: Feels clunkier somehow, a bit slower - the transitions are a bit toooooo long. But maybe I just need to get used to that.
It still takes 24 hours to update synced calendars. How about real time updates?

With the updated makeover, iCal is now a cousin; that is, the facelift is reminiscent of iCal's UI. That's not a bad thing! G-Cal was long overdue a makeover and it's a welcome update; hugely welcome. The Wow factor is there and, functionally, it's still one of the few, easiest, mindless, & cross-integrated productivity tools in its space. It just works!
*I've been using it longer than 1-year but the option for 1yr+ wasn't available.
For christ's sake, they finally paid attention to the product that's used by like a billion people. Many times I have resisted writing a post akin "15 reasons why I would fire google.calendar pm :)"
hallelujah.

For me the hugest update is being able to control browser notification.
Pros:Much cleaner UI.
Cons:None yet. Haven't used it long enough.
I am not a fan of gmail or google calendar. Outlook is so much better; however, my company decided to go with gmail, etc.
Pros:it's attached to gmail
Cons:Outlook calendar is so much better
Incredible
