Setup Reminders

It’s vitally important that you get set up on OurCal correctly to make the most of all our features.

To help everyone do so, we’re introducing reminders that will help you complete key setup actions so that you’re set up to use OurCal confidently in your everyday life.

For example, we will encourage you to complete tasks like scheduling events and adding a login method to ensure you never lose access to your account when changing devices.

To turn these off just open Settings, tap “Notifications”, and toggle off “Setup Reminders”.

Always Know Your Event Is Deleted

When deleting an event in the app, we confirm deletion with a notification. This notification deep links to the group, where you can discuss plans if needed.

Fast emoji picker

__wf_reserved_inherit

Our emoji picker for your events, calendars, and group emojis has been given a major tune up.

The search engine has been completely rewritten to make finding the emoji you're after far faster. The picker now opens at a new "Frequently Used" tab letting you quickly select frequently used emojis. And finally, it also always opens with the keyboard showing so you can quickly start searching straight away.

Emoji picking has never been so fast.

Faster install to group joins

A huge part of what makes OurCal different is how easy it is to invite friends, family, and colleagues to your groups with just a link.

We've made this even faster for new referred users by displaying a dynamic "Join Group" tutorial when they first open the app.
