Many thanks for the invite, i really like this at first glance. I could certainly see my using it more than the Gmail app.
Am I alone in wanting reminders to come up on Google calendar though? But, am i looking at it all wrong..should a to-do list be on the calendar, or is it a different thing?
My wife and I plan our family life using our shared calendars on Google and I've got into the habit of checking that. I wonder if I need to just let Inbox remind me of the tasks I have to do, that don't revolve around the family life etc.

I use reminders in Google Calendar a lot. There is also a to-do list in Google Calendar; it's called Tasks. Tasks are just calendar entries without an associated date/time

It seems that's not quite right. You can actually create a Task with a Due Date

I guess there may be plans afoot... 4737Carlin said:

Google tasks has always seemed a bit rubbish to me though. I was hoping that reminders in Inbox, and likewise reminders in Google Now, would automatically be added to the calendar.Tasks are just calendar entries without an associated date/time

As Lord Grover points out above, this might be coming soon in the Calendar update.

Love to see reminders like that although I'd love to be able to add more than "Home" and "Work" to location based reminders so I can put markers down on the junction I come off the motorway at. If I need to go to the shops I turn right and to go home I turn left. Having a reminder to go to the shops when I get to that junction would be fantastic.As Lord Grover points out above, this might be coming soon in the Calendar update.
