Smart phone calendar

If you use a smart phone, do you use the calendar?
I've always been very dependent on a calendar, but for years it was a paper calendar. When I was going through cancer treatments, I had a huge monthly calendar on my bedroom door to keep up with everything.
Well, I've been dragged unwillingly into the 21st century, so I started using the calendar on my phone.
It was working fine until we had to buy new phones last week. While switching over everything to the new phones, the Verizon man lost our combined calendars.
Stop and imagine if you lost every medical appointment, bill reminders, and all the important dates. Honestly, I was in full panic mode.
A few days later he was able to restore everything. But everything was in duplicate. We just have to deal with it until we make new entries.
That's just one nightmare from that episode.
I hate technology. I'd rather have a not so smart phone.
That's my rant for tonight. Hope you've had a good day.

No, I don't use the calendar on my phone. That is one of the first apps I completely turn off when I'm setting up my phone. It's too difficult to use and keep track of everything.
I write physical notes until the week I've got to do something and then I'll put an alarm into my phone with the name of whatever it is I need to do, the time I expect to do it and, if it's a person, place or thing, I list that in the alarm name, too. When that date/time is done, I delete the alarm.
I LIKE most technology but they make some things too ridiculously complicated for them to be practical.
I'm sorry you've had trouble and hope you don't have more trouble any time soon.
