Shared calendar options?

[mustang bass]

Anyone using a shared calendar on the web to manage band schedules and conflicts? I thought this would simplify the email and text discussions that are sometimes required to find a free date for rehearsals or check gig conflicts. Unfortunately we've struggled a little bit with access issues while trying to implement this using Google.

Anyone have any suggestions for simple and easy to use options or alternatives?

My band is about 4 months into using an app called TimeTree. Invalid Link Removed
It is free and accessible via web and iphone/android apps. We use it mostly for band members to post blackout dates when they are not available. This is a big help in booking, as we don't have to constantly check on everyone's availability for a specific date. Of course, for this to work, everyone HAS to keep their blackout dates up to date.

Google calendar.

I play in a few different bands with people who also play in multiple bands. Most of us maintain Google calendars with our availability and share them with whoever might need to know, including agents. Seems to work well.

We use Google Calendar but as has been noted, if your bandmates don't maintain their schedule no amount of technology is going to help.

Google Calendar and GroupMe for group chats

We used to use a Google Calendar but recently switched to a app called BAND because the Google calendar was not accurately syncing on all of our phones.. It seems to be a upcoming social media platform? But we have a private room in it with different chats and picture messaging because our group text got so overwhelming. It also has pretty good calendar import settings.

We used Slack for all band comms and scheduling.

TimeTree is fantastic
