There’s another app for this, f-droid.org/en/packages/at.bitfire.icsdroid/
ICSx⁵ | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Subscribe to Webcal (.ics) calendars

That is the same app

No, it is definitely not the same app. DAVx5 is for CalDAV, ICSx5 is for webcal, which is what you have.

ICS sync is a compatibility workaround from 1998. Google Calendar works natively on Android without any third party apps. The fact that syncing an iCal file requires a Fossify workaround on Android is a problem Apple created on purpose to lock users into their ecosystem.

Oh no are you one of the proprietary Android guys? I dont use Google apps, Google Calendar might well support ICS links natively but I dont use that malware XD

But yes it is odd that ICS is read only. CalDAV is better.
