How to Use the Teamup Mobile App for Android

Contents

The Teamup App for Android makes it easy to use Teamup Calendar on Android devices. See also this tutorial to get started.

Download the Android app

Open the Google Play store and download the Android app to your device if you have not yet done so.

You can also find the Teamup Calendar app by searching for Teamup Solutions AG on the Google Play store.

The Teamup mobile app for Android has a widget, which you can configure to your liking. First, download the app and connect it to your calendar. Then you can add and configure the widget to your phone’s home screen.

Connect the Android app to your calendar

When you first open the Teamup app, you’ll see a welcome screen with three options: Login, Sign Up, or Continue without account. The Teamup mobile app is a companion product of the web-based Teamup Calendar. You can log in to your Teamup user account to access a synced calendar dashboard across all your devices and platforms. Read on for more details on these three options.

The welcome screen on the Teamup mobile app for Android — You can log in, sign up, or continue with an account.

Option 1: Log in to an existing user account

If you have already have a user account, choose Login.

Note that your user account and your calendar are separate things: you may have used one email to create your calendar, and a different email to create your user account. The user account login requires both an email and a password; creating a calendar requires only your email address. Read more details here.

Once you log in, your synced calendar dashboard will appear with your calendar(s) already on it. Tap the calendar you wish to view. If you add or remove a calendar from your dashboard on the Android app, the changes will apply to your calendar dashboard on the browser, and vice versa. You can access your calendar links easily, without copying them from one device to another.
Note: when you are prompted to select calendars that were previously on your device, (they may have been added to the Teamup app on your device by you or by other users, without login), be sure to only add calendars that are yours to your global dashboard. The calendar that is not added to your global dashboard will be accessible again on your device, if you log out and choose to Continue without account.

If you don’t yet have a user account, choose Sign up to register a new user account.

User accounts are free, and they are required for certain features to work: the synced dashboard and event reminders both require a user account. On the signup screen, you’ll need to enter your name, email address, and set a password. Then check your email to verify your new account. Now you can login to your user account on your mobile device and on the browser; changes you make on one device will be implemented globally.

Option 3: Continue without a user account

If you wish to continue without a user account (which means no synced, global dashboard), select the Continue without account link below the green buttons.

You’ll be able to type or paste in a calendar link, and use the Teamup Android app as usual without logging in. You’ll still have a calendar dashboard, but it will not synchronize across devices or platforms.
If you choose this option, a calendar link is all you need to access your calendar on the Android app.
You can enter your full calendar link or just the last part of it, which starts with ks followed by a 16-digit random string.
- Here is an example:
  - Full calendar URL: https://teamup.com/ks09175eafc7c69bf8
  - Last part only: ks09175eafc7c69bf8

Help: I can’t find my calendar links

A calendar administrator manages all calendar links in the web version of Teamup Calendar. If you are not a calendar administrator, you may have received a link from the calendar administrator or another authorized user. If you cannot find your calendar link, contact your calendar administrator. If you are the calendar administrator and cannot locate your calendar link, see this article for options to recover your calendar link.

Help: where are my calendars?

You’ve logged in or registered, and now you’re looking at the calendar dashboard and thinking: “But where are my calendars?”

If you logged into an existing user account, but you haven’t been using your calendar dashboard, your calendars will not show up until you add them.
If you’ve just created a new user account, your dashboard will only have a Welcome Calendar. None of your previously used calendars will be on your dashboard yet.

The Welcome Calendar is a helpful calendar added automatically by the Teamup system for new users. It has a few calendar events with the basic info you need to get started. There is also a feed of regularly changing tips and feature updates. You can keep it as-is, modify it, or remove it from your dashboard if desired.

It’s easy to add all your calendars to your synced dashboard. Then you’ll be able to access them anytime from the mobile app or from your web browser.
