Reminders for WebCal calendar imported from Outlook

[Stefano Cossu]

Hi, thank you for making this app available which allows me to see my Outlook work calendar on Android without obtrusive apps.

I am currently exporting my Outlook calendar to Nextcloud, which in turn exposes it as a read-only WebCal calendar, which I can import into my Android apps via ICSX. Quite a chain, but it’s the only way I have been able to make it work.

The only problem is that none of the event reminders seem to carry over. I am not sure which step of the chain is responsible for that, but if that were a limitation of the protocol or any of the other systems involved, is it possible to set up at least a default reminder for all the events?

Of course, if someone has a better advice on how to access Outlook calendars on Android, I’d be glad to know about it.

Thank you.

I have the same request, please add this features to next release.

@stefano-cossu Same request. Please allow a configurable default reminder for all events within the calendar.

That would be a great solution!

@suedowell I have added it to our to do list. At the moment there’s very much work, but it’s added to the ICSx⁵ planned features.
