Notification and alert challenges

RX Management 

Always had problems with being notified of appointments about 80% of the time I would not be notified no matter how many notifications I set.

Retail Executive

What I do not like about this platform is that you have had days and notification synchronization problems, notify only in advance and access when the Internet, sometimes makes it difficult to connect them to another similar application.

36% of reviewers feel negative about Google Calendar’s notifications and alerts. Reviewers indicate that notifications can be inconsistent, sometimes failing to appear or arriving too late. Users think the default notification settings are not always effective, and customization options are limited or hard to find. Some users report being overwhelmed by too many alerts, while others miss important reminders due to subtle or easily missed notifications. They say managing notification preferences can be tedious, and syncing issues across devices occasionally lead to missed events.

Navigation and view limitations

Navigating from month to month seems to be the only issue I have run into. If I am scrolling through a month to find a date, it quickly moves to the next month, so I am constantly going back to find the month I was initially on.
