NOTE: Google Calendar synchronizes with your Usked calendar only once every 12 hours, and it is not guaranteed to update. For this reason, please do not rely on Google Calendar to pull up to date information from your Usked calendar in a timely manner. Unfortunately, Google controls this sync time frame (as shown under the Add using a link section of [this article](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37100?hl=en&ref_topic=1672445#add_via_link)on their help center.)

### **Android Calendar**

Android calendars work using Google Calendar, so all of the instructions for Google Calendar also applies to the Android calendar application. Once you add your iCalendar URL to the Google Calendar, it will also magically appear in the Calendar application on your Google devices.
