I’ve been using Vimcal for a few months and it’s completely changed how I manage my schedule. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the scheduling features save me so much time compared to other calendars. I love how fast it is and how easily I can book meetings without back-and-forth emails. It feels designed for people who live in their calendar. Vimcal has made my days more organized and less stressful, and I now rely on it daily.
Instead of giving you the typical "select an account" option when using the Sign In With Google button, it seems to be defaulting to an account on my device that isn't usable with this app (locked down by employer). I'd prefer to use my personal Google account, but don't have the option to select which profile to use when signing in - not sure how it decided the work account is the default, but since I can't get past that initial screen, I don't have any way to add/change profiles. There's some combination of signing out of all Google accounts on my device then signing back in in a specific order that might work, but it never sends to stick - once I get it displaying the right profile, it's only a few weeks before it's "stuck" on the work account again, and I'm tired of dealing with all that.
I want to like Vimcal’s iOS app so badly. I’m an avid user of it on my Mac. I’m using this on an iPhone 14 Pro and unfortunately there are lots of UI issues, especially in “agenda” mode. Selecting calendar events is laggy. Sometimes you have to touch them multiple times for the details of an event to come up. Sometimes bringing up event details just doesn’t work at all no matter how many times you click, and you have to quit and reopen the app to make it work. Sometimes clicking one event opens another. There appears to be no way to contact Vimcal otherwise I’d be happy to share screen recordings of how this behaves on my device. There are also some very frustrating design choices - like the fact the widget doesn’t show meetings currently happening.
