Is there a calendar app me and my wife can share?

By share i mean if either of us adds an event it auto appears on both calendars and only means we have to have 1 calendar to view?

Use Google calendar on the desktop to create share a calender with both your Google accounts, any app that can sync with Google should work from youe mobile with that, i like acalender+

We use this all the time since we had a baby, wife puts all the family stuff in the family calender and i automatically see it on my schedule, i keep my own calender separate for my own things too though

Man im slow :D
 
Me and the wife just share each other calendars. We can see what others have on their calendar then.
I use the default Google Calendar app which is kinda ugly but works. As above I look forward to the new Google Calendar to hit my device.
 
Ok i've shared my calendar with my wife, if she does the same, does it overlay both on to one calendar or do i have to look at 2 separate ones?

About bloody time. Google calendar has been terrible since day 1. I ended up buying Business Calendar.

I have read/write access to her calendar and disable my personal calendar and she only has access to her own calendar. That way I know she can't update the wrong calendar and duplicate stuff:p There's probably a way of syncing two calendars but this method works great.

It will overlay onto the same calendar, and will appear as a different coloured box:

HTC Calendar widget:

I use Month Calendar widget but it's a bit hard to see the different colours on that :p. So used the HTC one as an example.
 
Flipped back to the stock HTC app for my Hotmail account, while Gmail looks great I started missing the account syncing with push :p. IMAP/POP3 is too outdated...
 
Not liking the new Calendar app too much just yet. No more week view, just a 5 day view. I guess I like it slides back and forth, but I'm now very used to a static 7 day view.

Then, how much space is needed for the time down the side?! Why can I no longer pinch to zoom? (Or more importantly, zoom out?) No longer fit my day on one screen.

I'm finding these material design apps aren't very space efficient. Gmail fits less mails than its predecessor for example.
 
Well Google obviously feel everyone wants a 6" display.

The font is too big in the calendar app. All my stuff has text wrapped needlessly. I think they are hoping people will use the schedule view.
