Apple's iCloud Calendar can now be linked to Alexa, supported in UK, US and Germany.

Works well

It started with the two factor authentication BS when I tried to get it going. I just didn't feel like the hassle was worth it so I gave up.

It was easy to link Alexa to my iCloud calendar, but not working quite right.  Alexa can set appointments in the calendar but has trouble accessing the calendar to report on appointments.  Alexa "What's on my calendar?" results in "I'm having trouble accessing your calendar.  Please try again later."  However, I can say Set an appointment on Monday at 10:00 am" and the appointment will be successfully added to my calendar.  Anyone else encountering this?

Working fine for me, both reading upcoming Calendar events and creating new events in iCloud Calendar.
