Comment 29 for bug 1309042

As one of the core PIM applications on the Ubuntu Phone, I believe the calendar app really needs some developer love! It seems the syncing issues are still plaguing this essential app. For me, syncing my default google calendar seems to work, although I have to initiate the sync automatically from within the app. The other google account I am trying to sync doesn't work at all. I have had some success following the initial setup of the google user account, but after that, no sync. Pressing sync from the menu leaves the the sync circle arrow in the meny greyed out until a reboot. No error messages that sync is not working.

Wouldn't it be possible to use another backend, like the one used for syncing google contacts? For me, and apparantly many others judging from the number of users subscribing to this bug report, the calendar is an essential functionality on a smartphone. Getting this right would mean a lot for the platform, which is getting more and more awesome!
