  • 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”).


By subscribing to Simkl’s iCal feeds, you effortlessly integrate your watchlist into your daily schedule—never miss an episode, season premiere, or movie release again!
