15 Cool Alternatives to Google Calendar

google-calendar-final1Like a lot of others, I love Google Calendar. It’s well maintained and constantly updated with useful features. 

While it has the right set of features with almost no bloat, some of us might find it to be a bit underwhelming. 

Lack of social sharing features is clearly one downside to Google Calendar.
