iOS and OS X doesn’t know what a shared calendar is #apple #iosisdumb

As in, right now it’s saying I have a meeting with someone…but that is an event which belongs to my dad.

 

I think this is mostly due to the fact that all the shared stuff came from Google.  Or at least that’s what I would think if iOS had grouped all the shared stuff into one entry, but that’s not what it did.  It separated all the calendars into separate entries with the appropriate emails…and yet, despite the fact that it should know I have never attended even 1/8th of my dad’s meetings, it still reminds me, via Notification Center and sometimes popup message, that I have to leave to go to a meeting.

Or maybe this is due to the fact that I actually attend 1/68th of the meetings…because I do have my own stuff I go to that is also in his calendar…

 

Even if that was the case…that doesn’t mean it should surface one of his contacts in Proactive that I know but have never contacted at all recently.

You know one theory I have?  The theory I have is that Proactive and anything else that uses calendars to do stuff scans everything on my phone regardless of who it belongs to.  At least it rates things based on importance which is fine, but that algorithim needs work, because did I mention it reminds me of my dad’s events and surfaces his contacts?

I swear on my grandparent’s grave that iOS should have already known this.  I am dead serious.

[WARNING:  Bashing of Apple ahead]

Seriously, did they take this out of iOS 6 when Tim Cook thought that Google wasn’t good enough and erased the code libraries in a fit of rage?  Or maybe it was in iOS, and it was one day when Tim Cook had two hours of sleep and then no one noticed somehow?  Because I swear Steve had that in there.  Maybe I’m putting too mush faith in him, but I swear it was in there.  And if it wasn’t…WHAT??  Family’s have shared calendars, and an 8-year-old does not attend her dad’s finance meetings!  I bet even Family Sharing doesn’t know this!  God damnit, Apple!  BAD!  BAD APPLE!
