Tips for Optimal Sync

• Refresh Interval: Set auto-refresh to daily or twice daily to balance timeliness with performance.

• Color Coding: Assign distinct colors to Simkl calendars for quick identification.

• Multiple Feeds: Subscribe separately to “My Calendar” (personal watchlist) and “Full Calendar” (all premieres) to avoid clutter.

• Calendar Name: Use clear names like “Simkl Anime Premieres” to distinguish between feeds.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
No updates appearing	Verify the URL is correct and resubscribe; ensure auto-refresh is enabled in calendar settings.
Entries out of order	Check your calendar’s default time zone; some apps may misinterpret UTC timestamps.
Calendar not visible	Ensure the calendar is checked/enabled in the calendar list. Refresh the app or browser.
Duplicates across feeds	Subscribe only to the feeds you need (e.g., skip “Full Calendar” if you use “My Calendar”).
