Hi, you can do the following since you already have a gmail account.
1. Create a new shared calendar from the calendar site of google. this
is of course under your own account sign in. Call it whatever you want,
hubby-wife is a good example.
2. Invite your husband's gmail address. Assuming he has one. if not, get
him one.
3. Give him access to both read and write to this shared calendar. That
way even though its your calendar, he can see the events you post, and
he can add his own as well.
4. From your iOS devices, go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, and
Calendar and add the calendar account. You do this by choosing Add, then
Other, then CalDAV. In the username and password you give it your own
user name and password for your gmail account. Do the same on his iOS
device, but give it his gmail user name and password. One thing to keep
in mind is if you already have your gmail account setup for mail on your
phone, go into that settings and turn off calendars. This way you have a
specific calendar entry.
5. From each of your iPhones bring safari and visit the page
https://m.google.com/sync/settings/ and sign in with your own gmail
account. This will show a list of calendars. Check the ones you want to
share. Of course you want to have the new calendar you created checked.
A few notes. The reason I suggest creating your own new calendar to
share rather than just sharing your default is because this gives you
the chance to add your own events which don't need to be shared. What if
you use your calendar for pill reminders or a reminder to take the trash
out. I would imagine that your husband doesn't need to know that you are
out taking the trash, but I'm just guessing. The same is true for him,
with his own personal calendar. Now, when you need to enter appointments
which do matter, like a doc appointment, or be ready for the lawn
service, or whatever, then you would enter those into the shared
calendar. From the iPhone settings you can make the shared calendar the
default. That way when you add new entries, by default they will go to
the shared one. This way both your and your husband have access to the
same calendar.
The steps for this seem convoluted, but really are not too bad. i also
didn't give specifics on where to go in the web site, so hopefully you
can navigate this ok. I use Firefox and Window-Eyes on Windows 7 and can
do it.
Good luck.

I have a question? I keep my own calendar and my husband his on our
separate iPhones. I never really thought about sharing them, and a good
reason is he often forgets appointments which I remember and could put
in for him if that were possible! I have not used any web calendar,
just Outlook and the iPhone and since Outlook is on our home computers,
we don't have an exchange server.
Would it be possible to do what I am suggesting? I hear all calendars
but, have never attempted to set up more than one.
Are we confused yet?
I'd like to be able to access his calendar from my phone.

Hi Anna, and thanks,
Calendar setup on the phone (or iPad) is pretty straightforward.
I, too, use Siri to set up an event, though I sometimes need to edit in
order to add info to the appointment.
Have you worked with multiple calendars? VO won't read the calendar a
particular event belongs to, unless you open the event. Nor will it give
you a status update when you enable/disable a calendar's visibility. You
can make the update, but VO won't tell you whether you're turned the
calendar on or off.
I really enjoyed your iOS book, by the way.

Hi Shelly,
I use siri to make appointments when I can because it's faster. I have a
calendar that I share with my family, and it works well. I had some
trouble setting it up in the first place. I was using the Mac, but I
think it would be easier on the phone. But I've found looking at dates
and setting appointments to be accessible.
Best,
Anna

Hi all,
I'm working on the chapter of my iOS book that covers Apple-provided iOS
apps. I've finally come face to face with the conundrum of Calendar app.
Realizing that it has some um, accessibility challenges, I want to do
the following:
--point out instances in which VoiceOver just plain won't work properly
--list workarounds for VoiceOver inadequacies
--suggest alternatives to the Calendar app; both iOS apps, and
accessible Web calendar interfaces
--make good recommendations about how to manage calendaring, especially
if you're using multiple calendars, or need to interact with shared
calendars from an employer, or other group.
I have worked through the archives here, and have learned a lot. Now I'm
looking for any feedback, or especially effective ways you have found to
manage your calendar. No need to address all of the questions I've posed
above, just tell me what works for you. Feel free to respond on the
list, or to me directly.
Many thanks,
