Calendar is great for reminders...I don't use it for note keeping. They
have a different app, Google KEEP, that is good for random notes (and
searching for note content). KEEP has reminder abilities, but I don't
use that.
I log on-site visits (billable) using Calendar and then refer to it when
doing billing. Calendar has the ability to send reminders via email or
on-screen popup. They used to provide SMS (text) message reminders, but
pulled the plug on that feature. Calendar also allows for quite a few
details to be associate with an event...location, attachments, free-text
description, color coding...you can also group events as belonging to
any one of an unlimited number of calendars.
The reason I like Google calendar (and KEEP) is because it syncs between
my Samsung tablet, my Samsung phone, and my desktop (Chrome.) I can
create To-Do lists in KEEP while sitting at my desk and then when I'm
on-site at a clients I can quickly pull up the To-Do list on my
cellphone. It's not rocket science, but it's handy, it works, it's free,
and it is full featured. What its not is customizable. Oh, and Google
may get a hair up their nose and pull the plug on any of their apps at
any time, but ...I think MSoft has done the same.
As far as using either app for a total client management and information
keeping system, I'd say it leaves a big gap. Or, maybe I'm just not
savvy enough to get Calendar and KEEP to work together sufficiently...
Hope this helps.

notes for different customers?

Friend's husband says his business (HVAC) wants a reminder system
where they can enter customers, dates, notes, and get reminders
about upcoming scheduled appts. Now it sounds like an easy app, but
it also sounds like something that should be already out there (and
cheap).
Ideas?
