I keep my calendar on my iPad using the native Apple calendar app. When I go out, I leave the iPad at home and use my android phone.  I occasionally need to use my calendar when I’m out, so what’s a sensible way to do that?

I have tried viewing iCloud.com on the phone’s browser, but the calendar is so tiny that I can’t see it properly, let alone update it! 

What’s the best way round this? 
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    There are apps like OneCalendar that run on Android and are compatible with iCloud. In the first case check the "add account" options under your current choice of calendar app to see if iCloud is listed.

    So does Apple Calendar? 

    Or are you saying Apple Calendar App is better because it will integrate with other services where as Android Calendar App doesn't support other services?

    I think you are getting mixed up as you have it the wrong way round to what I said 

    I have Apple Macbook. IPad and iPhone, plus windows laptop.  but don’t use apple calendar as I find Google calendar better in my opinion 

    FWIW I also find Google Sheets better than Apple Numbers and google Maps better than Apple Maps

    Not here for an argument either, you have your view I have mine

    Wasnt looking for an argument either, was a genuine question of why you found it better and then was confused when you said it was because it'll sync on all devices because so will iCloud Calendar. 

    I'm not a user of Apple's office applications, stick to Microsoft for those other than Visio (Lucid Chart) or Project (Merlin Project). Never understood why their file format for Pages is actually a zip file containing a PDF and image of the first page.

    Maps depends on the device, computers normally Google, phone can be Google, Apple or Waze depending on a combination of use case and which I randomly click first.
