I use Todoist, and all my reminders integrate right into my Google Calendar which in turn works swimmingly with every significant calendar desktop app worth a damn like Fantastical orΒ BusyCal.

iMessages πŸ‘‰πŸ½οΈ Google Allo, Android Messages

Things are quite fishy here. Google has way too many apps for messaging (Google Hangouts,Β Google AlloΒ &Β Android Messages) and it rightfully confuses consumers who interact with them.

Chat Apps

Granted, you won’t get Animoji but Allo is more cross-platform than Apple Messages by working on both Android & iOSΒ as wellΒ as the web.

Unfortunately, it’s been hard to convince everyone I text to use Allo with me, so I’ve had to stick with Android Messages.

FaceTime πŸ‘‰πŸ½οΈ Google Duo

Google Duo

As I said before, Google’s communication offerings can confuse consumers and they need to still work on centralizing everything into one platform.

For professional stuff, I prefer to useΒ Daily.coΒ but of course for personal calls, you can’t go wrong withΒ Google DuoΒ which is supported by both Android & iOS.

InΒ January of this year, the Duo team teased that Duo would be coming to the web soon but who the hell knows?

But yes, ideally, Duo becomes even more cross-platform because then it could compete with FaceTime even better.
