It is a web service so that it will always connect online even with 3rd party software.

I Love Free Software7 Google Calendar Desktop Clients

Lists some but you need to be careful they don't have malware

Outlook could sync as well if you have a 3rd party software. https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync

I wouldn't buy outlook though just to have a calendar.

Thanks somdfunguy for the suggestion. I am using Google Calendar (wife and I have one - shared) going on our cell phones.

Again - thanks!

That's interesting, can you share calanders with anyone? Say if I have one, can I share it with someone else. And when I update it they will see those updates?

Yes. But you have to give them permission.

Can I give permission on my phone or do I need to log into the computer
