Is it me or is the Google Calendar app for Android in need of a design update?

Don't get me wrong. The Google Calendar app on Android doesn't look dated but it's not as modern looking as the rest of Google's app. Google Calendar is the last major Google app not to adopt the new design scheme. You know the ones with the Google profile pic in the upper right corner of the app. Functionality-wise the app is fine. It's my preferred calendar app by a wide margin and it just seems to work reliably. Google Tasks integration is also a nice addition. I can see all the tasks I designated myself all in one app without the need of opening up a separate app.

Design-wise the app can use a little love. I for one would like for Google to get rid of the hamburger menu. Not sure how they would do the redesign but I'm sure they can figure it out. Also, this would be a good time for Google to bake in a better tablet app design as well as Chrome OS support. It's only a matter of time, I guess before Google updates the app. Hopefully, all OSs (Android, Chrome OS, tablets, and Wear OS) across the board can gain the new update when it's finally updated.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 review after 1 month | Google's Premium Earbuds

Google follows up the OG Pixel Buds Pro with version 2 and I must say that the Pro 2s are better in just about every way. The stand out feature to me really isn't a feature it's more about the fit. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 is 27% smaller and it shows. This helps with the fit and the wing tip is there to make sure things stay nice and snug. The rest of the package is very similar to the previous model just better. Check the video for my thoughts and see if the Pixel Buds Pro 2 may be a good fit for you. No pun intended.
