Feedback for synchronization
Please add some feedback when the synchronization is running and is completed. As it is now I'm never sure if the sync succeeded or not.

Hi, I love the calendar and have the paid version. Primarily I selected your Business Calendar to merge my private Google calendar and the corporate MS Exchange/Outlook calendar in a single view which works nicely. An issue that annoys me is that with all the security features added by my company to MS Exchange email service (now hosted at outlook.office365.com) Business Calendar periodically does not manage to push through to synchronize. I figured out the issue is that my phone's Android Exchange connector fails to login. To resolve, I remove the Exchange connector from the phone, reinitialize it with my credentials, and am fine for a couple of weeks. So, it does not have anything to do with Business Calendar itself, yet it is a problem. If I may propose - It would be nice if Business Calendar could indicate the success - or the failure - of synchronization attempts, and/or show the timestamp of the last successful synchronization so users are alerted if the synchronization fails. Otherwise, a great app that I use many times each day.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Petr Vrabec

It doesn't work perfectly now. Before yes. Some tasks from BC2 haven't appear in web google calendar.

Really, 6 years old. It takes, what, 15 minutes for a developer to add that Sync(Status)Observer where the syncrequest is called, including a Snackbar message after pressing "Sync now". Adding better UI feedback (like the widget refresh icon spinning during sync, or showing a warning when it's out of sync) would take longer, maybe a day or two. But not 6 years.

This is a 2015 suggestion with multiple votes. Maybe it's time to actually implement it?

This would be very helpful. I have it installed on a Note 4 and it does not sync to Google unless I run the Google Android Calendar app. I need your help on this.

It would be wonderful to see the status when a sync has finished or still in progress.

and one last suggestion, which is extremely important for me, that he shows me below as the last status bar when he synchronized successfully with Google. I have to be able to rely on which one I can see in the calendar.

This really is a must have feature.
If i cannot trust the calender app om ny phone to be om sync it is basically useless to me. This has bitten me so many times, where i've missed meetings etc. I see no other option then to look for alternative calender apps.
You need to add a auto / scheduled triggering og the "sync now" functionallity. If so, i will gladly comeback back.

I have to regularly synchronize calendars of other users and not always have a reliable connection to the Internet. By clicking on the "sync" button, I can not understand when the synchronization is over and what ended, by a malfunction or success.

I am agree this is an issue. when you add an event on a device you expect to find it in the other without to have to manually sync. BC should force sync if new event.
This is a reall issue as we are missing some events due to no auto sync on other devices.
eg: I add event on google calendar from desktop. I quit my desk then check my smartphone to see next event. Sometime I forgot to manually sync and I miss a meeting. -

I have discussed this with the developers and they claim "BC doesn't have its own sync abilities and uses only those provided by Android .This requires the presence of the sync partner. The sync intervals depend on the sync intervals depend on the partner. Normally it should happen within a couple of moments."
The problem is the underlying Android sync is unreliable.
BC already has an manual sync capability: "Sync now". Surely auto / schedule functionality can be added to BC to invoke its manual "sync now" function?

The "Sync now" click shows nothing. I like this idea.

Please add ability to sync automatically - all these independent options:
1) when starting BC app
2) when Internet connection is detected (at least for Wi-Fi)
2) periodically (A) every X hours B) only between configured hours of hte day)Thanks
