G+_Jbluna Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 God I hate the Tower type games in the arcades, they always get me... This looks beautiful though. *Of course all my devices are Lollipop'ed... :<? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Frank Speer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 What time can I watch new episodes on east coast? It's 10:30 pm here now and I can't view yet. Love the show!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jennifer Kokoski Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Wow, you guys were right about Google murdering the Calendar app. 5 day weeks, no monthly view, WTF? It's even more useless to me now. My native calendar apps on my phones were much better. Today Calendar fixes all those woes and in good time. I switched to TC and gave Google Calendar the 1 Star rating it deserves. Chewed them out too. Bad, bad programming job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Tony Fleming Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Had to change my vote to Sky Force 2014. The Tower won't work on my N5 using Lollipop.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marco Perez Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Another great show peeps! I fully agree that Today Calendar is way better than the 5.0 Google calendar app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_craig delfosse Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The Tower didn't load on my Nexus 5 Lollipop (got the update, and immediately use of several apps, including several arena suggested apps like Last App Switcher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Sorenson Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ugh...tough call this week. I like where Today Calendar is headed, but it's nowhere close to Business Calendar for functionality (and squeezing the max info onto a little screen). The other three are just not in my interest. Looks like I'll have to pass voting this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Zach Owens Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I actually like the Google Calendar app. Its good looking, smooth, and has nice animations. There is a month view despite what people say, it just doesn't show events you have on it (which does suck), but otherwise I like it. I always try to avoid having multiple apps on my device that cover the same functionality especially if the one already on my device works fine. Plus, $6 for a calendar app? Don't think so...

G+_Alexis Delatolas (Nomor Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well the Google Calendar app has monthly view and 7 day view on my tablet LG G Pad 8.3. On the phone it has the 7 day week view on landscape but no monthly view... So I think you should mention this when criticising it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Richard Newell Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Wow, Today Calendar for the win. I don't mind paying for apps that work, and this app works:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nestor Custodio Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't get all the Google Calendar hate. It's a free calendar app, guys, and it looks beautiful and does 90-100% (depending on who you are) of what you need out of a calendar. So far as I'm concerned, this is the best iteration of Google Calendar yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Zach Owens Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nestor Custodio? I agree... Don't get the hate for the Google calendar app. It's a significant upgrade over the old one. And while I don't mind paying for good apps, I'm not paying $6 for month view... Especially when I have a free app that comes standard on my device and does everything I need it to...

G+_Grahame Tucker Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The Tower doesn't run on my Nexus 9 : Context3D not available ! - whatever that may be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Sorenson Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 To be clear: the Google Calendar app gives you a very different view on a tablet. The complaint is that it was semi-downgraded for phone users (like me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Steve Vander Ark Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Google Calendar shows a month view on my Moto X, and if I have things on a day's schedule, it circles the day. I tried Today Calendar and the only difference is that it underlines the day instead of circling it. I don't understand all the negative comments! I think it's beautiful! Me, I'll go with Sky Force which I've been playing happily on my ADT-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vic Lovan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thank you for the Today Calendar pick! I was so upset by the Google Calendar update I was actually thinking seriously about how to get the previous version back. Now I don't have to. My write up about the Google Calendar bad update on Google Plus. http://goo.gl/VuyJ5E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rich Fowler Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Today Calendar saved me. I got Lollipop last week, and the "new" Calendar has been driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ryan Suess Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Today Calendar is great, but I'm addicted to Sky Forse 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vincent Mohr Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 There's really no beating Sunrise when it comes to calendar apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gian Carlo Barretto Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Skyforce and Tower are both really addictive games. Slight edge to Skyforce since Tower does not work on my Nexus 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
