Google Calendar Client for Windows review

Google Calendar Client for Windows displays the events of all Google Calendars you have subscribed to. Since it uses publicly shared calendars, it doesn't require your Google credentials in order to operate, thus protecting your privacy.

Pros

Offline support: Google Calendar Client for Windows has the ability to download all calendar events within a given range and save them on your PC. Doing so will ensure that you have access to your agenda, even when you don't have an Internet connection.

QR codes and event reminders: Since version 2.7 of the application, every reminder has an associated QR code, which can be scanned as a quick way to get the event details on your phone. Another basic but important feature is the ability to enable event notifications and set how much time before the event to receive them.

Private: Rather than requesting your Google credentials, Google Calendar Client for Windows requires only a link to a shared calendar. This not only protects your privacy, but also makes the app much more straightforward.

Cons

No advanced notification features: Unlike smartphones that can calculate travel times and take weather and traffic conditions into account, this application is limited to sending you a reminder at a predetermined time with no self-correcting options.

Bottom Line

If you use Google Calendar on a regular basis, you will surely appreciate this tiny app that shows your schedule with the click of a button wherever you are in your computer.
