    been asked for an android app - that can sync calendar on both a galaxy smart phone and a kindle fire.


    eg - both have same calendar data

    by default you cant access google play on a kindle fire (its not there) - kindle fire has a walled garden approach for apps. (amazon only)

    jorte calender?? ita avialable on both app stores
    http://www.amazon.com/Jorte-Inc-Calendar/dp/B008KYOCA2

    works well enough, has lots of options on the widget front (and for me on the note, 5 icons wide is my main liking for it) only significant issue I've had with it is the agenda view doesn't give locations as standard (I was using it for uni timetable, so remembering what rooms meant opening the app, rather than just seeing where it was as well as time and what it was.)

    I'm really surprised but it seems the Fire doesn't sync multiple Google Calendars out of the box. Maybe you could use Easy Installer to sideload the real Google Calendar App?

    I had a feeling it was a walled garden but I was hoping Amazon were better than that.

    its THE reason my wife did a return on hers after only 5 days - the tablet is a nice piece of kit - especially the Fire HD - its just the limitations are sadly quite apparent. And she`s not really nerd level techy either - yet loves her galaxy tab!
