Calendar makes my life so much easier. A simple calendar app that manages my multiple calendars is a huge benefit. Also, it's reliable and it works. Half the time my current calendar app doesn't send me notifications or reminders. It's so frustrating.

It's not used by my peers as much so in a way it's not as popular in my circle. The solution may be in marketing it more. I'd like to see it having more AI integrations to give insights on my schedule
