I don't have an iCloud calendar set up and to be honest, I don't really use any calendars because I have found them to be more work than I thought they should be. With Alexei, which do you think would be the best one to use?

It's been a while since I did it, but I don't remember having much trouble getting my iCloud calendar account linked. I did have to clear out a couple other calendars from my phone, but once I did that everything works like a dream. And yes, it is very handy.
