I really enjoy Proton calendar. They have a free tier with 3 calendars, but I use the lowest paid tier, and I absolutely love it. https://proton.me/pricing

Fellow Proton user here.
I recommend the Proton calendar for cross-platform syncing functionality, as well as the whole Proton ecosystem for privacy and ease of use.
Etar and Davx5. Both are on F-droid.
Would love to see some recommendations with a shareable sync feature
Yes me too.
I use ACalendar+. There's a free and a paid version.
second for aCalendar+. been using the paid version for a few years now with a self hosted nextcloud instance. works great! works great with other calendars too (google, etc).
I use proton calendar
I'm trying this out. I downloaded all the suggestions and am going to play with them until I decide.
I use Etar (it's on fdroid)
I agree, Etar is awesome and as a plus, it's open source.
It also shows the text of appointments in the 'month' overview which a lot of other apps don't do! It's the first app that could replace google calendar for me, for exactly that reason.
Simple Calendar Pro is pretty awesome
I've been using it for years and works a charm
Any tutorials on getting it set up with Outlook on Android?
I've been only using it with Nextcloud
Glad no one mentioned Zimbra.
Has the fantastic UI of a 2000s Outlook, with the features of a 90s calendar.
If you can't read sarcasm, I'm saying it's functional but awful.
Lol.
Another vote for etar. I also use Davx5 to sync over my own caldav server, but that isn't required.
Business Calendar has been my favorite for a while now. I haven't tried Business Calendar 2 yet but someone else mentioned it in this thread and loves it.
Proton calendar. It has a very nice interface and privacy respecting company behind it
Iβm testing it now, I noticed that thereβs no search feature (in the android app anyway) Seems like a crazy omission
This is my final decision. I'm just glad it has light mode because I hate dark mode calendars.

I've used Digical for awhile and like it. Paid version is $5, goes on sale for cheaper sometimes.

Seen good things about the Simple apps. Calendar has great reviews: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.komorebi.SimpleCalendar
Just to check, did you maybe mean the Simple suite of apps from Simple Mobile Tools?
They do have a calendar, but it's not the same one you linked, it's here. (Although just looking again and it's got some HORRIBLE recent reviews, so not sure what's up there!)
I've not used it, but I have used some of their other apps (including Gallery, which I still use) and they're pretty good.
You're right. I got that wrong. I thought it was the same people. Good call.
Simple calendar Pro rules! Can be also synced via webcal.
I've been using simple calender pro. Been a pretty nice app, as it does the job I need it. Paired it with DavX5 and Nextcloud and it's just the same as Google calender.
I absolutely swear by Business Calendar 2. It's the only calendar I found so far that has the option for a timeline view in the month view rather than just list out the events for each day. My previous work required me to work all hours of the day causing my sleep schedule to be all over the place. so this feature was the absolute must have for me since I needed to be able to look at the month view to see which shift I would be working, which days I'll have social events with family/friends so I can coordinate my sleeps accordingly.
There's also a quick toggle for each calendar on each View so you can easily look at events for a specific group/calendar. You can group separate calendars/tasks into the same group. You can also customize each widget to show only specific calendars/task lists only. I've been using this probably for the past 10 years ever since Business Calendar 1 and it is worth absolutely every penny.
Ok I think this one is it for me then, I like those features.
I've used Business Calendar for a while. It has a ton of features. You have a lot of control in the layout and appearance and can connect to a variety of calendars and task apps.
