Android MiCrew and Google Calendar Sync
 

Has there been a change in the last few updates of the MiCrew app in how it interacts with Google Calendar?

I used to be able to sync it on my android device and it would create a separate MiCrew calender in Google Calendar where I could select each trip and copy to my personal Google Calendar. The MiCrew Calendar would show up on the phone version and the desktop version of Google Calendar. I'd use the desktop version to copy trips.

Now the MiCrew Calendar only shows up on the phone version of Google Calendar and not the desktop version and there is no option to copy trips to my personal calendar.

How do you guys sync MiCrew with your personal Google Calendar, am I missing a step?

same experience…following and hoping for a solution

No android and MiCrew users here?

I use both but I don't use the sync function as its a terrible product and it's easier to just put them in via hand.

Concur. I do the same. Probably faster too.

Yep. I just type in an extremely abbreviated event in Google Calendar. Literally report and release times, and what layover cities. If my wife wants more detail it is very easy to take a rotation screenshot and text it.

It is all frustrating because the stellar icrewmax had great Google Calendar integration years ago.

I have an iPhone but prefer google calendar. So I sync to my Apple calendar then create an event and cut and paste the details. Would love to be able to skip that step.

Same issue here. I'm thinking a Google update must have disabled the ability to copy a shared/automated calendar to a personal calendar. I've figured out how to essentially get the same result, just with an extra step and a delay in the sync. What I did was subscribe my Google calendar to the Apple calendar on my iPad (I don't use that calendar at all, other than for this). So now when I want to copy my schedule I do the calendar sync on Micrew on the iPad. This syncs your schedule to the Apple calendar, which the Google calendar then fetches and updates. You can then copy the calendar over just like before. Unfortunately there's no way to set the fetch schedule for Google to get the calendar. It just does it when it does it, so you'll have to wait a few hours or maybe overnight and then it will have magically shown up.

Yeah I have tried that method a month or two ago. The delay is what threw me off initially thinking it didn't work but then the next day it was all there. I'll try that again. Thanks.

There has been a change to MiCrew that has disabled the prior ability to sync MiCrew calendar to your desktop version of Google Calendar. Prior to the last update this is what you had to do to sync the MiCrew calendar to your phone's Google calendar and then transfer manually over to your desktop's Google calendar:

***(OLD METHOD)*** MiCrew synch from phone to desktop:
***this doesn't work anymore****

In order to get MiCrew synched on phone to sync with desktop Google calendar you have to:

1. select the rotations individually on the Google phone calendar
2. select top right triple dots ***(now there is only DELETE as an option)***
3. select copy to...events on

It's a little frustrating for those of us who like to print out a calendar to hang in the kitchen for the family to view.
