I prefer the calendar app Sunrise. Android 5.0 completely ruined the default calendar.

edit: Well shit. Microsoft Is Acquiring Calendar App Sunrise For North Of $100 Million

Lollipop seems to have broken all sorts of things. I'm holding off.

It's not broken, it's just redesigned for tablets. Where I could see an entire week and read most of my appointments, I can now only see 3 days, 6 hours per day and four (!) letters per appointment name line.

Lollipop is pretty cool in general. It has a lot of nifty features, I think. What else were you thinking of when you say it's breaking all sorts of things?

I know a few Nexus 7 2012 edition folk who are having horrible trouble with the tablets (wifi / bluetooth problems and performance).

And they removed the functionality of the power key menu so all it does now is ... pop up a menu to turn it off.

Quibbles, really. I'm sure I'll be bowled over by the leaps forward eventually. Around 5.0.3 .. or 5.1 later in the year.

Tell your friends to stop using Chrome and get something like Naked Browser. Chrome is bloated on mobile and by stopping use a good 90% of my Nexus 7 2012's performance issues dissipated.
