Yandex Calendar Review: Auto-Import Feature Causes Chaos

Calendar Created Out of Thin Air - Total Disaster

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm fed up with Yandex Calendar's auto-import feature, which has been creating events and sending me notifications without my permission. It's been a total disaster, causing constant distractions and disruptions to my daily routine. The feature's clunky implementation and lack of consideration for cancelled events are just the tip of the iceberg. I'm starting to wonder what else this app is pulling out of my inbox.

I woke up one morning to find my calendar had somehow created itself without my permission. The support team initially gave me some pretty generic advice, then promised to fix the issue, but now they're just ignoring me.

Apparently, it's because I have some .ics files in my email correspondence with a booking service. Now, it's creating events and sending me notifications, but it's all done in a super clunky way - it's not even considering the events I've cancelled. And to make matters worse, the settings for ignoring events aren't working.

This auto-import feature is causing me a ton of frustration and distractions. I'm getting notifications for events I didn't even schedule, and it's messing with my daily routine. I'm wondering what else they're pulling out of my inbox - passwords or API keys? And why not? It feels like they're snooping through my email without my permission.

I explicitly told the support team to stop doing this, but they just blew me off. I even asked for the contact info for their management so I can file a complaint, but they completely ignored me.

Yandex Calendar support, you need to fix this issue ASAP. I'm really disappointed in the way this has been handled, and I'm not sure I want to continue using your service if you can't get this sorted out.
