I'd be happy if they stopped trying to be fancy and just covered usability basics like supporting the browser back button. I can't even count the number of times I've hit back on an event screen expecting to get to my calendar view and left the calendar site entirely. Yes, there's a fancy JavaScript button that works that I could take ten times longer to trigger, but that's not good practice to force users to use your internal JS only navigation solution.

Agreed that the back button issue was annoying for a long time. Fortunately, the fix went live last week!

1. The post is referring to a new Android app, not the web UI.

2. The situation you're talking about has existed since... well, it's been there for the last 3 years I've been using Google Calendar. I, too, would like a working back button, but the web UI is effectively set in stone.

The back button issue in the web UI was fixed recently.

You've blown my mind. I feel like I was hitting the back button from an event detail and landing on the New Tab page very recently. Thanks for pointing it out.

Agreed. I'd really like to just be able to look at part of two consecutive months at the same time. Seems silly to have the same visualization constraints as a real calendar that crossing from the 31st of current month to 12th of next month means going back and forth a few times.

Love google calendar for the cloud, sharing and ability to email myself custom reminders but the UI on the web is pretty minimal. I tried a couple different calendar apps and found fantastical by flexbits.com to have the best UI/functionality for me on iPhone.

You can set your custom (fourth) view to "4 Weeks", which does the trick for me.

Honest question: how does "4 weeks" fix it ? You still can't view one week in advance and one week after the start of each month.

Do you really mean 'and'?

I have my custom view set to 3 weeks - but the same principle - it shows me from today (or rather, the Monday of the week that today is part of) through to Monday 3 weeks away. It cares not a jot for where I am within the month. Setting the custom view to any other numbers of weeks will doubtless provide the same 'sliding x-week window' view.

[ianferrel]

It doesn't give a sliding x-week window, though.

It gives an x week window offset by n*x weeks.

So you can see now through 3 weeks, and 3 weeks through 6 weeks. But I want to see 3-4 weeks of window and slide by one week!

Workaround: Click a day in the small calendar and then click the 4 Weeks button.
