I'm from the Zoho marketing team. Embarrassed at the poor impression we have left you with while trying to use our service. We'd really like to connect with you and learn where we slipped. Will be great if you can reach out to us at support@zohocalendar.com with subject "Ref: Post on HN on issues with your Calendar app".

Don't be. Judging from all the apps I tested, making a good calendar must be a really hard problem (but I never built one myself). At least for my use case. I mean, how much money have MS spent on making the new Outlook web thing, and it doesn't even work? I even tried in another computer with a new account, to see if I was doing something wrong. That's how bad my experience was. And Google stuff isn't that much better either. The lock-in is real. The integration with Google Keep is the best thing I can say about it.

I just didn't got the confirmation e-mail. Tried several times the same day. Maybe it was a temporary problem since I tried again and was able to confirm my account.

Regarding the UI, it's just a matter of opinion. I use a lot of apps with bad UI and don't care but a calendar is something really personal and important for me that I just can't deal with something that doesn't feel natural. But my opinion shouldn't matter since I'm just an overly judgmental dev and not the 99% type of regular, business user.
