Google Calendar: Scheduling and Task App

Google Calendar is a productivity app by Google LLC that helps you create, organize and keep track of events, tasks and shared schedules across devices. It has been available since 2012, and the current release line is dated 2026, with the most recent version listed as 2026.38.0-989268529-release from early October 2026. The package is free, carries no advertising, and reports no in-app purchases, so nothing stands between you and the core scheduling tools.

The core of the app is event management: entries can flow in automatically from Gmail, covering reservations such as flights, hotels, concerts and restaurants, and everything syncs when you sign in with the same Google account on a phone, tablet, computer or Wear OS device. Multiple calendars, including Exchange, can be displayed side by side, and shared calendars let family, friends or colleagues view, add or edit events. Month, week and day views are switchable, and tasks can be created and managed next to your events, with a full-screen task list and light or dark mode plus color coding for personalization.

For teams, the app ties into Google Workspace, so a Meet video call can be attached to an event, teammates' availability can be checked or their calendars layered into one view, and notes, pre-read materials or documents can be linked directly to a meeting. The current update is a maintenance one: bug fixes and performance improvements, following 2026.36.0-980779909-release in September. The app requires Android 8.0 or later and the download on this page is 33 MB.

Latest changes

This update to Google Calendar, version 2026.38.0-989268529-release and released on October 8, 2026, focuses on stability and reliability. It includes bug fixes and performance improvements to keep your scheduling running smoothly.

Busy professionals who juggle meetings, personal appointments and travel plans; families or groups that need a shared schedule everyone can edit; and teams already using Google Workspace who want meeting links, availability checks and attached documents in one place.

If you share calendars with others, set each one to a distinct color before layering them in a single view — it makes conflicts visible at a glance during a busy week.

Google Calendar remains one of the most complete scheduling tools for Android, with reliable sync, automatic event capture and solid team features at no cost and without ads. The trade-offs are its reliance on Google's ecosystem and a wide permission footprint, and the newest build is a maintenance release rather than a feature drop. If you live in Google's services or need shared scheduling, it is an easy recommendation; if you prefer minimal data sharing, weigh the permissions first.
