I don’t have any pics there I’d mind losing, but for those who do, how is this not extortion?

    The “Simple” app collection the FOSS community loves did the same thing with their play store version calendar, which is why I dislike them. Their FDroid versions may not do this, but like… comes off the wrong way.

        That’s not the claim made by a ton of reviews on Simple’s play store calendar listing

          I think I’d rather believe official documented android behavior.

          I can access my calendars from any app on android… maybe they couldn’t access it from the app, that I can believe ; but then that’s not at all like “pay us or lose your photos”.

            I’ve tried simple calendar you can’t it’s clearly not using the android calendar system but it’s own one stored in the apps data so it doesn’t share to other apps

              I’m using it as my main calendar app, all my events are accessible from other apps.

              At the bottom of the “add event” menu, you have the option of choosing where it’s stored (“event types” in the settings, rather confusingly). I guess that choosing “locally” could prevent other apps from seeing the event, maybe, but I don’t use that option because I sync my calendars.
