Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Features
- As a proud member of Gen X I've used all kinds of calendar "apps" in my life, starting with real calendars hanging from the kitchen door, then upgrading to pocket-sized calendars shoved into my back pocket. When my boss plopped the first 286-Intel computer on my desk back in the mid-90s and told me to 'figure it out' I played around with the first few generations of calendars that were included in the Microsoft products but always gave up in frustration since they were stuck in the computer and I still had to carry around a hard copy of my schedule when I left work. But finally, Google heard my cries in the wilderness and gave me Google calendar.
- Recurring events can’t be easily customized for exceptions or irregular schedules, and there’s no built-in task hierarchy to help organize priorities or subtasks.
- Overall, Outlook is a solid, dependable email and productivity platform that’s well-suited for professional and business use. While it has a learning curve and occasional performance issues, its reliability, integration, and organizational tools outweigh its drawbacks.
- It also has a few glitches with showing read vs unread emails and the number of unread emails icon on mobile doesn’t update in real time.
