Hi there,

 

 

 

Recently had one of the bosses at work come to me with a calendar issue. We use Google calendar to let them keep track of where everyone they will be on a daily basis. They use Sunrise on their phones for their personal calendar, but a shortcut to the mobile site so they can see where everyone else is.

 

 

 

 Some time over the Christmas break there was a change and now they see the following:

 

 


Previously the @group.calendar.google.com lines just had the name of the shared calendar instead of the share link.

 

 

 

I have tested this on my personal Google account with the same outcome.

 

 

 

Can anyone else confirm this functionality, found a way around it or noticed when it started? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a calendar app that will list events with calendar name? With 16 people involved memorising colours is impractical.

 

 

 

Thanks for the time.

 

Chris

Hi, I used to use google calendar a lot.

 

I have noticed the same behavior, and it really sucks.

 

Its not so bad if you set up the calendar using the built in iOS calendar app, when you 'open' a calendar item, it shows correctly the username of the persons calendar. However it still doesn't show their name (only colour) in the agenda view.
