Google Calendar

[DQSooner]

Does anyone know if there is a way to tinker with the font size within Google calendar? A lot of my events run over lines and split words in the strangest places making it somewhat difficult to read...I looked in the Google Calendar app settings and couldn't see anything about font size there. Hoping there is a trick to it somewhere though. I'm a convert from iPhone 5 so some of the settings are a little different at first. Thanks for any advice!

I assume you mean in week view, you can pinch to zoom out and timed events will expand but the all day ones at the top won't, you have to click on them to see event fully

The apps "calengoo" and "acalendar" both let you change font size to make them more readable and also display names of events in month view which google calendar app doesn't, but they don't instantly sync on changes like google does

Great! Thanks so much and yes I was referencing the "week" view...should have specified that. I like the way Calengoo looks and may try that. I assume it works OK with exchange calendars? I don't need instant sync as long as it can update and sync with my exchange calendar hourly or so...thanks again for the quick replies...loving these forums. Lots of good info on them!

Not sure about exchange calendars as I only have google calendars but I used to use it and you can set the sync time in the settings to make it sync as often as you want, it also has a setting to sync on opening and to sync when adding an event....but if someone else adds or changes an event on a shared calendar that's where you don't get the instant sync, that's the only reason I stopped using it, but it's a great app other than that, I love that in month view you see the names of events instead of just a colored bar like the google app, not sure why google hasn't implemented this

It seems to work fine with syncing data to my exchange calendar so all is good. It also has a live date widget (1 x 1) that is nice...only problem is that I resized all of my icons (through Nova Launcher) and now the widget looks oddly out of place on the page with my other icons...again a very minor detail...may look at just giving the calendar a larger widget on a different page...have to play around with it for while. Thanks again!
