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. Click this link to get access: https://calendar.google.com/cale... (h/t Techcrunch)

No update love for me with that link. :-/ Guess I'll just keep waiting.
Arun
@_jacksmith lovely! I guess I'll update it right now.
Arun
@grberk it's not working?
Glenn Berkshier
@arunsathiya Nothing new and fancy in my calendar. No link to move to the new interface.
Alan Houser
@_jacksmith Doesn't work for me either.

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

Melissa Grody
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.

Wow, finally their Calendar gets a better look.

@erickbarron86 I love the new Google calendar. I make my own designs and offer a free calendar (https://www.dreamcalendars.com/c...). Can you evaluate in your opinion?

Anyone with a G Suite account able to do this upgrade? I personally can't get the button to show up but can on my personal account.
Aja Ferrell
@jkhco Yes. I use g-suite and was able to upgrade.
Renato Ruk
@jkhco I have the exact same issue. Have you found the workaround?
Naitik Mehta
@jkhco @renato_ruk You need to manually enable it for your G-Suite users from Admin Panel > Apps > Calendar > Enable new calendar.
Renato Ruk
@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. :)
Jack Smith
@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.!
Karim Maassen
Thanks, Google Celander team! Finally! That's night and day.

I've been using Google Calendar for many years. I think it looks cool now :)

It's a welcome update!

Pros:

Loving the refreshed design, and ease of navigation!

Cons:

Interface feels a bit cluttered, but hopefully that changes soon.
