Google updated its calendar app for Android Wednesday, bringing with it one of the most requested features for the app: the ability to customize event and calendar colors.
Available for Android 4.1 devices and above, your Google Calendar can now be given the color of your choice (Google offers 24 options) directly from the Android app. Individual calendar items, such as birthdays or important meetings, can also be highlighted in a contrasting colors.
Adding events is also a little easier now with the app, and can be customized with the time zone of the event in question. Events that happen often can be scheduled to repeat at custom intervals ranging from a few times a week to a few times a year.
You can download the new Google Calendar now from Google Play.
