Is it me or is the Google Calendar app for Android in need of a design update?

By


Don't get me wrong. The Google Calendar app on Android doesn't look dated but it's not as modern looking as the rest of Google's app. Google Calendar is the last major Google app not to adopt the new design scheme. You know the ones with the Google profile pic in the upper right corner of the app. Functionality-wise the app is fine. It's my preferred calendar app by a wide margin and it just seems to work reliably. Google Tasks integration is also a nice addition. I can see all the tasks I designated myself all in one app without the need of opening up a separate app. 


Design-wise the app can use a little love. I for one would like for Google to get rid of the hamburger menu. Not sure how they would do the redesign but I'm sure they can figure it out. Also, this would be a good time for Google to bake in a better tablet app design as well as Chrome OS support. It's only a matter of time, I guess before Google updates the app. Hopefully, all OSs (Android, Chrome OS, tablets, and Wear OS) across the board can gain the new update when it's finally updated.

Waiting on Google: Why My Next Laptop Won't Be a Mac or PC (The "Googlebook" Era)

By
The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem.  My current tech ecosystem Admittedly, I've been holding out for a minute to get a new laptop. Fortunately, my current device is still meeting my needs but barely. Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...

10 Months With the Pixel Watch 4: The Leap Forward Google Needed

By
  Its hard to believe that Google is on their 4th generation smartwatch but they are. In this short amount of time I can honestly say that each version got better. Maybe not by leaps and bounds but modestly with each revision. I've owned each version of the Pixel Watch and the improvement year over year is evident to me. Not just in the hardware department but the software too. I was really close to not upgrading from the PW3, however, after seeing the increase in battery life, charging speeds improvements and upgraded display quality I was all in. Now after spending a year with the device I am glad that I went with the latest model. Day to day There is no real noticeable design change if you look at the watch straight on. The major change is on the left side with the charging pins being quite visible. I don't mind the look at all and think having the charging pins visible gives the watch some much needed character. Overall I like the design and it just works.  Software is sol...
