For some time now, Apple has no longer allowed many of their iCloud accounts to access calendars from external applications such as Calenso. Furthermore, Apple does not allow calendar data to be synchronized with mobile devices other than iOS.

So that you can continue to synchronize all appointments in Calenso with an external calendar, the Calenso team recommends using a Google calendar. Google Calendar supports better integration with external applications and runs on all operating systems and mobile devices (smartphones, tablets).

Switching from Apple iCloud to a Google Calendar requires no technical skills and is done in less than 5 minutes. You will need a PC or Mac to complete the process.
