20 Best Calendar Apps for iPhone + Videos
191Your iPhone already comes with a standard calendar. But there are many third-party applications available that make tracking your tasks and events much easier. Choosing the right calendar application for your needs does take some researching as not all apps in this category offer the same features.
How to choose the right iPhone calendar app:
The App Store has many third-party clients you can take advantage of to keep yourself on schedule. Not all of them have an easy-to-use user-interface. Many of them are too complex to use and do not have the right features. Here are a few factors you may want to pay attention to when choosing your next iPhone calendar app:
- app speed and stability
- user experience and design
- customizable features and advanced options
- responsive search
- sync features (e.g. Outlook, Facebook, Cloud, …)
- support for voice-commands and natural language
- alarms & reminders
- developer track record and reputation
- geo-location & social features
- universality (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and Windows 8)
- price & regular updates
Here are 20 calendar apps that stood out for us according to our tests (updated March 2017):
Fantastical: Fantastical for Mac is a fantastic tool to use to add and keep track of your events. The iPhone version is pretty decent too. It lets you add events to your calendar using dictation (iPhone 4S, iPhone 5). The DayTicker saves you time keeping up with your events. It works with Google Calendar, iCloud, and Exchange.

Pocket Informant on iPhone: you will need a techie to get it to sync with an existing Outlook calendar. As I do not have one, it was a waste of money.
Why not try this app called iconApps (http://intuitionapp.com)? It is free and you don't have to be techie to be able to maximize its use. It's not only a simple calendar app, but more of a secretary — helps me keep track of my tasks and deadlines, and of course reminds me about my rendevous with friends. There's no reason to forget anything.
Sync Outlook to Google Calendar (using Google Calendar sync) and configure PI to use the Google Calendar. Works great and you can create mutiple Google calenders to share with various groups (and view all concurrently, or filter at will, in PI). I've configure my work, home, family and Cub Scout calendars all in PI. No other calendar app comes close to PI's power and flexibility.
Need a calendar that does recurring DAYS not just DATES. Help!
Saisuke. Works pretty good. Slightly better than my old Blackberry calendar.
Try FlexScheduler, it works for me.
cdhog
If you don't want to have a separate calendar. Use Calendar Event Pro. It adds the advanced functionality to the native Calendar app.
If you mean like you can do in Outlook or iCal than you might want to try Recurring Events. It has a very easy interface for setting up recurring patterns.
I've actually just gotten one on the app store, Round The Clock.
Great repeats (every other week/wed/thur/fri, last friday in month) and a week view
Is this the 10 best calendar aps?
I thought we talk normal calendar aps, not weird calendars!
@Kevin. You are right 🙂 However, this is more of best calendars for things people want to do rather than best calendars that do pretty much the same things. What do you suggest the title should be? We have a bunch of other lists on task managers, to do lists, and so on. Pocket Informant is a pretty decent one I use.
Which calendar apps that my wife and I can share and view the same calendar on our iphone?
I would choose one that syncs with google and then you could just have both your phones sync to the same google calender. Thats the best option i can think of, but i don't know very much about these apps so there may be an option which fits your needs far better than my suggestion.
set up a google calendar (keinrichcalendar@gmail.com or something) and set up that email address on both iphones. set up in gmail and iphone to sync the calendars. jobs a good'un.
This was soooo easy! It even offered to make an "app" on my home page! Didn't see anything where I needed to set up a sync. It just worked
I think Cozi Family Calendar is a fantastic and very attractive app.
I like the Pocket Informant, but I can't seem to get Alarms to work. It seems like it's a pretty frequently encountered glitch. I'm a bit unimpressed with the calendar that comes with iPhone because you can't have it automatically set an alerm. I always want an alarm to function, so want to be able to set it as an 'automatic function' that I can turn off in those infrequent occassions I DON'T want an alarm. I keep forgetting to 'set the alarm' and miss calendar items 🙁
Has anyone had success syncing Pocket Informant on IPhone with MSOutlook? I want to continue using MSOutlook. So far, it looks grim, so I welcome anyone with a success story…and better yet, "how to" sync.
My husband currently used blackberry bold and i have iphone. I want him to get iphone but he need to be able to get appointsments that I email him. Right now I email him an appointment and it goes to his calendar on the blackberry, address, ph one numbers everything he needs. Any suggestions?????
hello there have you had any news on this as i am looking at getting the iphone4 but would need the sam as yous husband with the email appointments
so you need to transfer your information from Blackberry to iPhone? Is that what you are asking?
Five months late. I've just gotten an iPhone and I like it, but the feature I miss from my old BlackBerry was how tightly integrated the apps were: when you entered a contact in the Contacts database, the phone number was available for phone, the address was available to maps, and so on. I'm test-driving Intuition right now, and entering location data there *and* in the Contacts database (so I can phone them or set up tasks) is a bear.
Of course, the functionality might be there and I just haven't figured out how.
My teenage daughter has a BlackBerry but my wife and I have iPhones–we'll try using a Google calendar to integrate them. I believe the BB calendar will also sync with a Google calendar.
John
You should look at the app AnyDay, a perpetual calendar with loads of features and holidays!
Any suggestions of a calendar with good reminder features. The iCal does not offer a snooze to the reminder. My daughter had a Blackberry and it had snooze feature on calendar reminder…is there a calendar app for iphone that has a reminder with snooze feature? I know iCal has 2 reminders but sometimes my daughter needs an additional reminder or two.
The lack of good reminders (like the Blackberry has) makes the iPhone Calendar look like a toy app. e.g., I get a reminder on my phone…I slide the "unlock" button to the right, key in the passcode lock and up comes whatever app you were using the last time…however, I have no idea what the reminder or reminders that appeared on the screen. All of this is annoying, if you ask me. Please tell me there is another app that behaves like a Calendar app should. I would not mind paying for it.
Check out Calendar Alarm in the App Store, it adds reminder with snooze feature to existing iCal. Huge improvement, well worth the 99 cents!
I bought Calendar Alarm for the same reason – I miss the snooze that my blackberry had. However, Calendar Alarm still doesn't compare. The reminder still goes away when you slide the screen open, unless you slide the actual reminder, which is fine unless when you happen to look at the phone there are several…you can only choose one to slide and snooze/address. The only other option I know of is to set it to repeat every minute – which got old really fast. Ugh! I want a blackberry calendar app for Iphone!
I just need a calendar app that I can put down appointments and the days that I substitute teach on and that is very simple to use. Do you know of one like that?
Something like Attendance? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/attendance/id30175…
No just a plain calendar that I can type in on the dates that I need to sub and appts. for my kids and will be able to look at the day and week to see what I am doing.
I began using this one: http://bit.ly/cJq4Bh
It's called Calendar At-A-Glance. My daughter loves the drawings there 🙂
No week view there, but the month view covers pretty much everything you wanna see: number of events on some date, the time they take, etc.
HTH,
Mark.
Shoppergirl, the "2Do" app has a snooze feature on its reminders. It isn't technically a calendar app, but it does let you schedule events and snooze reminders. I know what you mean regarding your daughter's phone. I had a Treo previously and really enjoyed its calendar that was easy to sync with Outlook and set its reminders to snooze. 2Do has a lot of features and syncs with Outlook.
Calengoo is the best! I have outlook at work set up to sync to google calendar. Then google calendar also syncs to Calengoo. I only type everything in ONCE. Great reminders too. Love it love it
Great – thanks! Do you need MobileMe to sunc, or does it automatically check for latest appointments with Google whenever it is connected? Thanks.
It is definitely a very good one
I'm looking for a calendar app that allows me to have recurring events every four weeks. None that I've looked at seem to have that function, only every week or every month. Has anyone seen one that allows every four weeks? Thanks.
If you use google calendar you can have this feature. You can get different apps for your phone that sync with google calendar. I downloaded ccal last night and it looks great but for some reason it is only coming up with recurring events that I have entered from Nov on and not individual things entered. Sept and Oct look great though, I am still trying to work out what the issue is.
I got an app on my iphone called week cal, & it has the ability to set rcurring event daily, weekly, or monthly. Good luck. Now I just have to find an app for my Laptop that will sync with that calendar.
how about smarttime or the built in calendar
I currently have a blackberry and am lookin into purchasing an iphone. My blackberry has a calendar on the screen of my blackberry that i can see my appt's for the day every time I look at the phone w/out havin to open the calendar. do u know of an application for the iphone that i can do that with
Hi – did you get a sloution on this – i want my old blackberry back as the reminders on the front screen were very useful – if you found a way round this can u email me on andyison@hotmail.com
thanks
I jailbroke my phone (you can look anywhere online to see how to do this, and it is completely legal) and there is a package you can download called "Lock Calendar" that displays all of your calendar events on the lock screen when you first turn your phone on, before you swipe to unlock it. It works really well!
Nice List!
Want have a look to my App?
AroundCal – from Event to Task
can you sink this with exchange?
Theres a new calendar on the market – cal-n-icon. Its got great GUI and extremely useful for Business professionals. The icons are colorful and user-friendly – a complete pleasure using the app. A great organizer that covers both meeting requests and tasks.
I had a Blackberry Curve and the calendar was great with setting the alerts. I now have the iphone 4 and can't seem to set a reminder more than 2 days before the event. Is there an calenda app out there similar to the blackberry that you can set reminders to the event well before the event occurs?
I'm having the same problem changing from BB to iPhone. With BB, the alerts could be scheduled at least a week in advance. Also, with the BB you could turn your phone off and the alerts would pop up when the phoen was turned back on. With the iPhone, you can only do alerts for 2 days in advance and if the phone is off you will miss the alerts.
can anyone tell me if and how to sync my i phone callander with my windows live callander ? thanks
Apple has lots of cool colors and crayon applications and interfaces, but they really SCREWED UP on the primary and simple function of a CALENDAR. How absolutely worthless is the iPhone calendar: it arbitrarily dismisses alarms without user input (biggest complaint), and doesn't allow custom alarm settings other than THEIR list of hours and days, etc; and they don't have a feature for setting custom repeats, such as last week of month vs. the fourth of month (on some months this occurs). Congratulations Apple for building a brilliant skyscraper on a sandbar. I'll take my reliable Treo or Samsung any day of the week… alas the contractual handcuffs to iPhone and AT&T.
We, my husband and I moved to the iphone from Treo…I still haven't got to a calendar that is able to match it. So, we stumble along with a fear of any app calendar, we may lose what we had. I still carry my treo for the contact info that didn't travel with the sync. I like outlook, but lost some valuable calendar date with the Palm wireless sync. Still haven't found them in the space between here and there. So I went to iphone & my pocket treo (hence its name)., Ha Ha
I can almost accept that apple has screwed up royally on the calendar app, no relative date scheduling such as last wednesday of the month etc., what really surprises me though is that there is no aftermarket app that has filled the gap.
well, I just looked at pocket informant and it does all the custom reminders for calendar, it actually looks pretty good.
@scott. Yes. If you think Pocket Informant for iPhone is OK, wait till you use the iPad version. It's a beautiful thing. 🙂 We use it throughout our company with Outlook sync and everything
Need calendar with possibility to sey my own sound and sync with outlook ! Is it the year 2010 or is it an apple? Soo dissapointed at my iphone 4 now. (my first iphone, maybee the last now)
I think the HTC on windows is better. Even my ancient O2 HAVE better calender features. Apple makes stuff for simple minded people who have little knowledge of IT.
Is there anything out there as simple as a monthly view that I just just marks off days? I’m trying to track 3 different reoccurring type events. One per day. And can’t seem to find anything simple. Would be ideal if I could just tap on a day choose a color and then be able to make a chart or graph comparing all three over the year.
Try something simple that give you a good overview. The Month – Fast Calendar (http://itunes.apple.com/app/month-fast-calendar-that-sync/id415608532?mt=8) is both powerful and easy to use. Not a lot of graphics, just like notes in a monthly wall calendar. Yet, you can search for everything and use different views.
I looooove my iphone 'week cal' app. It does everything!!!
is there any calendar app that synchs with or – dare I say it – improves on Mobile me? I like the auto synching of mobile me, but it has even fewer options than the calendar on the iphone!! I'm starting to miss my Palm!!!
I'm still using a Palm and so far I think i'm right. Can't find any apps worth swapping for. They are much better apps on the Palm OS. I'm sticking with it.
I am still using Palm because of the Calendar. I love my Datebook 5 calendar & refuse to give it up! I love being able to make my own icons!
Is there a calendar app that stores past entries? I’d like to be able to pull up past appointments for reference. It was frustrating to find out that once the month had passed all entries were dropped. I thought I was using the iPhone calendar ad a sort of an abbreviated journal.
I want the basic functionality of being able to invite my spouse so both our calendars get updated. Wecal is an app with that ability but looks like it requires a subscription to do invites and other features. Still searching… – John
Maybe check out the app "shift worker" for rosters and work schedules. This is a blatant self-advertisement but it would suit the need of a few commenters in this thread.

Is it me or does the iPhone calender bite? Really Job's i can't, see you running your life with a iPhone calender.
no. It is not just you 🙂
You can add the US Holidays for 2010-2012 to your iPhone calendar with one tap . The holidays will be added as all-day events in the calendar of your choice. No need for subscriptions or internet, because the holidays are added to the calendar database.
Once added all holidays can be fully edited or deleted. And synced with Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.
The apps also contains calendars of:
– Christian, Hindu, Islamic and Jewish festivals.
– Holidays and festivals of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States.

Just coming to the end of my first year with an iPhone having been a previous Windows Mobile, Palm then Blackberry user. Guess what – I will be going back to Blackberry as soon as contract finishes primarily because of the appalling business apps e.g. calendar that come on the iPhone. Anyway, no more moaning, here's how I've managed recently. Having used Pocket Informant before on Windows Mobile this was the obvious choice and I haven't been dissapointed. About the only thing lacking for me is the ability to snooze reminders. I run MS Outlook on a laptop and a desktop and I use Google Calendar Sync to keep it all together. Tried MobileMe – complete disaster. Eventually got them to refund my full subscription!! I treat the desktop as the master of the two Outlook machines and do a 2 way sync between desktop and Google and just a one way sync FROM Google to laptop. No real reason why this couldn't be two way as well but after disaster with MobileMe I got everything working in this way and stuck with it. So I can create on either iPhone or Desktop and all 3 keep in sync. For tasks I use ToodleDo. Seems to work just great.
All I would need to make this all perfect for me is snoozing of reminders, some way of keeping reminder on screen after it's activated and the iPhone screen is locked. And for Google Cal to understand and store Outlook categories.
Hope this helps some folks.
Cheers
David
When you enter an event can you set an alert longer than 2 days prior to the event?
Are there any feedbacks for Calendars application (by Readdle)? The new version supports Google Tasks, still would like to get more comments before purchasing it.
This one Calendars app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calendars-google-c…
Please check out the new Extreme Agenda on iPhone 4. Calendar and Tasks with 4 powerful view, category filtering, expanded recurring events, professional icons and more…
How about a Calendar app that lets you set reminders with your voice? VoCal – The Voice Calendar App for the iPhone lets you do just that. http://bit.ly/dmsOgd
See it in action: [youtube HPmuQczkVpA&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPmuQczkVpA&feature=player_embedded youtube]
For those of you looking for a faster calendar that shares categories, check out Qwixt Calendar. You can tap and drag to set the times for a new event, and categories you share will be automatically updated.
Qwixt Calendar
I recently purchased Calendar At-A-Glance. It works with the existing Calendar database and as opposed to other, overcomplicated apps i really easy to use. The clock-like interface is a cool idea too. Check it out: http://itunes.com/apps/calendarataglance
Anyone synched Calvetica Calendar, CalenGoo, or Qwixt Calendar with Microsoft Exchange (our company exchange server runs on this to our Kerio server)? Any good?!!!
Cheers
Duncan
I just recently got an iphone and was diligently using their calendar to remind me of my kids' illnesses…couging, fevers, vomiting, etc when I decided to look back and see when the last time one of them was sick and….nothing! The calendar app deleted all those long months of logging them in.
Is there a calendar app that won't delete ANYTHING that I input? I don't care about any other perks or quirks, I just want to be able to go back and see the data I input in previous months.
Am I missing something. I'm using a Palm Centro. Old technology. The calender syncs perfectly with MS Outlook. I need color categoriezed entries. If I have an event that lasts more than one day, I need it to show up as a colored bar accross the calender days as it does in MS Outlook. Is there no ______ calender that will sync with MS Outlook and display it as well as my crappy old Palm Centro? I know I can sync to Google calender, then to a 3rd party Iphone app, but as far as I can see, Google calender stinks as well. It has no color coded categories, you have few preferences that you can control. Has anyone figured this out?
I'm sticking with my Palm. OK so the resolution is not so good but nothing I've read in the last 8 hours compares to Datebk.
I have the Palm Pre Plus. The resolution is awesome. If you buy a program called "Classic" you can run most of your old PalmOS programs on that. I still use my Datebk 5 & have never found anything that compares!
Bill Reminder
Bill Reminder for iPad: An easy-to-use, full featured bill reminder to help you pay bill in time and stay productive. Get instant alerts on your iPad, iPhone or iPod-Touch as a reminder when your bill is due.

WeCal is pretty good…..but think it could be better
I need to sync my yahoo calendar (all layers) with my iphone3g. Why can't I get a layered calendar? Any ideas?
Check out SwiftNote, I liked it more than pocket informant.
I'm currently looking for less detail calendar apps. I dont want to hit on a day and see the time limit from 7am to 7pm which is not needed. An ideal calendar i look for should be able to show all day in page so you'll be able to plan which weeks i will be going for vacation, holidays etc. Any suggestion or it's too weird… If there's no apps like that i'll desperately use the current embedded calendar in iphone =(
Hi,
I suggest you have a look at our Month Calendar: http://itunes.apple.com/app/id389957954
It supplies an excellent overview.
Have a look it is free for now, but hurry 🙂
Calvetica has to be the best one on the list.
Considering its integration, price and functions – easy winner 😉
Does anyone need a multifunctional calendar with actions, (shopping) lists, tags, photo, projects, priority, progress status and more?
I need a calendar that will allow me to simply copy and paste an appointment from one date and time to another. My old palm does it easily. The iphone requires about 20 different strokes and moves to do a simple task. Anyone know which calendar apps might do this?
Try Calvetica, which allows you minimal key strokes to move events.
Try calendars, my favourite
Why can’t they make a calendar app like “groceryIQ” that instantly adds appointments I make to my wife’s calendar and vice/versa? It could even have those cool little numbers on the app icon to show how many appointments we each have that day or week. Is there anything out there like that?
http://itunes.apple.com/app/week-calendar/id38105…
I’m currently using a very archaic version of Palm Desktop by Access which no longer even synchs to my even older Palm Pilot. I like the interface and the fact that it’s not web-based but it keeps randomly deleting all or some of my 10 years worth of calendar history and I have to keep resorting to backups. So I’m ready to make a switch. 2 questions… 1) is there a way to import this data to another calendar program? and 2) is there another desktop based calendar program out there that I can then sync to an iPhone app (other than exchange). So far all I’ve seen is Google etc. which need connectivity.
Thank you for sharing the GoCal. I've been looking for a Google calendar app that will send SMS reminders. Downloading now…
I’m looking for a calendar like the one I had on the droid that showed up on my front screen with appointments listed daily. I’m brand new to the iPhone so I’m wondering if that’s even an option.
Hi…did you find one? I loved how the Droid had the agenda on the home screen and I could just see it.
Did you find a similar calendar for iPhone?
Mee too! I had that with my palm phone. Loved it. Has anyone found an app like that?
I’m looking for the same app! I missed a meeting last week because I wasn’t constantly opening my calendar! Someone create an app that will allow us to see our agenda at the top of our home screen!
Mee too! Someone found an app like that?
I use CodeTwo Exchange Sync to sync my iPhone with Outlook installed on Exchange Server. The way it works is illustrated on their website http://www.codetwo.com/exchange-folder-sync/synch…
There is one more tool I think would be good, but can't remember its name now.. – need to talk to my friend, who showed me it and I'll make another post later.
For great overview have a look at Month Calendar: http://itunes.apple.com/app/month-calendar/id3899…
Would you suggest Calengoo or Pocketinformant? $6 difference – which is better? I recently switched to the iphone and I miss my blackberry calendar – I need help deciding which to get…please let me know what you think!!
I personally use Pocket Informant. It was one of the first one that offer decent Outlook sync. The ipad version is a killer too.
Just bought an iphone3. Had a 7 year old nokia…… The nokia calendar allowed me to set alarms, repeat, copy, make several notes on the same day (nothing fancy). What I REALLY would like is the ability to vocally speak my calendar memo and have it land on my calendar/planner. And have the ability the Bokia had, as well.
Any ideas? I've been researching for several hours. ToDo Pro is supposed to do this – but i can't make the recorder appear, except haphazardly.And VoCal is for Iphone4
Thanks in advance.
something like this? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vocal-voice-remind…
Recently, SmartCalendar(Eng) released. It is also best, too. It's UI is good.
Have a look at Easy Calendar. Especially if you want a plain and simple week view.
As an example: add an appointment with just 3 taps. In all top-5 iPhone calendars you need to go through multiple screens with at least 6 taps. See the video(s).
[youtube BmnxqWfkyc8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmnxqWfkyc8 youtube]
Does anyone know of a calendar app that will let me not incite, but actually email the whole month to someone?

The 2.0 version of Extreme Agenda adds features that moves it into the elite calendars on the iPhone. Month View, Year View, Week View, Agenda List View. It actually goes beyond just calendaring to be a full Organizer with Contact Views, a Task View, and a Quick List View.
And its still half as cheap as anything that comes close.
Get Organized. Go Extreme.
I think this post have to be updated.
Recently many better calendar apps released.
WeekCalendar, MiCal, SmartCalendar(Eng)…
we are working on it
I have tried multiple calendars, and finally settled on Calvetica. The speed cant' be beat! I was so tired of launching previous calendar apps and waiting for them to sync (ugh). This one is super fast and has a nice, simple interface–this makes it easy to navigate and find appointments.
Hi:
I currently use a Palm OS calendar on a Treo. What I really like is the ability to search previous days, weeks and months for meetings and deadlines.
Is there an ap for the iphone that does this?
palm calender is awesome.. any similar calender in iphone4
regretting change to iphone cos of the lousy calender app
google calendar also syncs to Calengoo. I only type everything in ONCE. Great reminders too.
Lots of great reviews, thank you for this article! I did not however find if anyone has found that Calendar app that has the ability to instantly add appointments I make to my husband's calendar and vice/versa? Or invites can be sent, and accepted or anything along those lines. We rely heavily on our phone calendars for “outside of work” appointment and this would be ideal. Reminders up to a week out are important to us too. Any recommendations would be appreciated. The setting up a shared Gmail account with calendar is not something we are interested in doing.. Thanks in advance!
I am searching for the same, between IPhone + Blackberry, did you find an App for this??
Did you find anything? I have the same need and just can’t find an app, we can’t be the only ones!
I'm also looking for this.
Keep us updated if you find one.
A couple of folks have asked for specific calendars. We are searching and will add to the list
I think there is an app called Cozi which can do this. Infact, it puts all your family's schedule in one.
Interesting. Will test
I need to find an app to make employee work schedules with and be able to send it to them weekly.
I'd need this solution: I wish to sync my Outlook 2003 calendar to iPhone, with colors of the individual calendar entries preserved. Does anyone know if it can be done, in any way? As a possibility, I'm thinking can Outlook calendar be synced to some cloud service, which supports iPhone's colored calendar entries, so that the cloud service would do the "color conversion"? Thanks a lot, if there's someone who knows how to do this.
@Janne. I personally use WebIS kit by Pocket Informant. I am not sure it is exactly what you want but it syncs my Outlook to my iPhone calendar to Google Calendar.
I use yahoo calender but I’d really like to use something similar with SaiSuke calendar. Any one knows which calendar app I can use?
I don’t like the iPhone default calendar, so difficult to see all the event.
Extreme Calendar is now out and is Extreme Agenda's little brother with almost all of the powerful calendar features of the full Organizer, at a lower price. And then you can upgrade at any time…
It contains a new timeline day view which allows quickly editing events inline and moving/copying events and pasting them in the calendar or on time slots in the day.
Definitely worthy of Top 20….
Very cool. Thanks for the tip
Hi, im looking for a calendar with mobileme sync, fullscreen month view with the names of events (not just dots) and support of groups (work, home,.. etc) and of course a reliable one. Anyone knows? Till now it seems all developers focus on google and weekview:(
ondrej, you came to a right place 🙂 I'm using Plan app,this is exactly what you need. time management and calendar in one,brilliant! All events are in one view, move events drag&drop and fast navigate. Check this:

Is there a calendar app that would let me attach webpages and that I can open straight from my browser – sounds like Gocal or calenGoo might? Thanks
Great list! Thanks! I use miCal, the best App
I would like a calendar app that works like Kayak or TripIt. I would forward emails to my calendar and it would automatically create the events. Is there an app that can do this?
Hi I like "Plan" App, here is how it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRwjp7_KVl8, Simple
I have a I phone and a windows comp. How can I type my calendar on the computer and send it to my I phone? Will Google do this?
Create a google account and google calendar. Download a free app Google sync, install on the PC. This will sync your PC cal to Google calendar. Now you need to set up cal on iphone. If it's iphone 4, it should be easy. Go to settings>mail, calendars. Add a new calendar>select google, enter your login info for google account. Now you will be able to sync your outlook calendar to iphone. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!
I am looking for a calender ap that will retain calender entries indefinitely. I would like to be able to go back and see who I called last January, etc. My default calender dumps past entries after 30 days. Any suggestions?
For those looking for a beautiful yet simple iPhone calendar, I suggest you check out Agenda for iPhone – http://getappsavvy.com/agenda/ . It was recently released by Savvy Apps. The reviews on this application seem very strong as well.
@Tony. Will check it out. Thanks Tony
I work a week on week off roster rotating from days to nights and I’m after a calendar that will allow me to have a highlighted colour for my week of day shift and a different colour for my night shift. I want to be able to see at a quick glance what the months coming have with out having to count the weeks to know if it is days or nights. Does any one know what I could use? Thanks
Something like Free time? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-time/id429232…
I use pocket informant and have a calendar called Work-Day that is yellow then one called Work-Nights that is dark blue. Then I schedule seven all-day appointments on each calendar that are repeated every four weeks.
Is there a calander that you can set a reminder to do something and let you chose like done or something and it wont bug you again until the next programmed date. Example i want to put a reminder to put my request off at work and remind me up until a date but if completed early i can say done and it wont bug me until the next week.
All the comments say the same thing…. I want a BlackBerry calendar app on my iPhone. The fact is BB have nailed it and apple missed it (by a lot). I love my iPhone but I really really miss the BB calendar
I need help, I've been searching for this for a long time. IS there a calendar for those who use it often? that is fast using? like the palm did, I mean when you want to enter a data you don't have to touch the screen that many time? Thanks!
I am not sure what you mean. You need to be a bit more specific 🙂 There are a bunch of apps that are like that like a few on this list already
Right now, via email, I can add a calendar appointment to iPhone calendar app via email invite (from Outlook on a remote server). However, updates tova previous event does not update on IPhone
Any other calendar that does this?
Why is this hunting calendar crap in this 20 best? Such awful products should be banned, together with the people who use it.
Fair enough. We added it because it was requested. Can you tell me exactly why you hate it? I am interested to know what is wrong with the product.
How do you set 2012 dates in VoCal?
I’m looking for exactly the same as zo6…. All the info is great but has anyone found one that meets these needs.
I’m looking for q calendar that will be able to check the 1st and 3rd weekend a d not simPly every 2. Can anyone help me?
you should check out Scheduary for the iphone, it's simple to use but with a bit of set-up you can take down work schedules and appointments faster than other ones i've used. If anyone is interested here is the link. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scheduary/id423549…
I need a app that is compatible with my iPhone and iPad that I can book a appt with my iPhone and it will pull that info from the cloud and will also be stored in my iPad under the same app; and vice versa . I'm a independent hairstylist … I have found a lot of apps that have this capability but they require a monthly fee with online booking available for the clients . But I prefer my personal control with my scheduling so I don't need all that fancy pants stuff … Just more of a calander geared towards hairstylist bookings ,storing formulas , also to keep a daily track of the money made and spent each day!…. Does anyone know of something I'm describing ? Please help.
as for me the Pocket Calendar is the best
Very disappointed I can't invite appointments with bb users and get an indicator they accepted or acknowledged that it's ok on my 4s. They see the invite but I get no indicator in my iPhone 4s from them. Then if I want to delete something they invited ME to I have to go to iCal in apple.com to delete it, I can't delete iron my phone (or iPad). Seems it should be an easy thing for Apple to fix???
hey ruth
have you tried calprint app for ical
am using it at the moment sadly not listed here 🙁
Week Cal by UtiliTap is the best full featured iPhone/iPad calendar app with ability to
Copy, Duplicate and share events.
I love to use the feature of the Ghostwriter Notes where in you can schedule your day in a sheet. This app I bought at http://majorspot.com is very good for busy person.
It is just so cool!
I downloaded a free public holidays app from phit mobile technologies to my iPhone but, when I click on it, all I get is a logo. Where have I gone wrong?
I’m looking for a calendar to note what I have been doing during the day. Normal calendars are too advanced, I need this one to be easy. I don’t need to set the exact time. What I’m searching for I guess, is a note pad with dates. If you know what I mean please mail me:)
I think I am looking for the same type of thing. Have you found any good solutions yet?
Is there an app for ipad and ipod touch similar to toodledo but as a calendar? I want to use it as a calendar on my laptop, but to sync with my ipad and ipod
Is there a calendar I can a find for my iPhone that will store the data forever? Currently my iPhone only stores the data for a month then it’s deleted. I need a calendar that I can that keeps information. Help!!
Hi -Did you ever find a calendar that doesn’t delete events? I am sick of this feature. Do you think I have to use Google for main calendar to preserve events?
Thanks.
I personally use Google to manage events. But if I find a calendar like that, I will share or include in the update of this post
It’s in the sync options in iTunes. Disable the setting “sync only the past xx days”.
Is it just me or is there anyone else out there missing the Nokia calendar interface?
Is there a calendar for iPhone that resembles Nokia's capabilities, as user friendly and fully configurable as that? Please let me know, I'm missing my Nokia calendar very much…
Thank you!
Need your help… I need a two-way sync calendar application for multiple users on mobile devices (freelance therapists). With one central calendar view, that can see all appointments of all therapists, and where each therapist has his own calendar on a smartphone that is synchronized 2-way with the central calendar, showing his available timeslots. What calendar APP and what (simple) smartphone could do the job? Note: I understand Google Calendar can only sync up to 5 users.
I get lots of Txt Msgs with requests for meetings. I'd like to be able to easily post them to my Calendar on my iphone. I don't really want to use Google Calendar. Any advice?
I have been using the My Book calendar for scheduling therapy appointments… it's made for salons but can be modified for anything. It's allows you to use contacts to make appts (recurring or one time), note if they showed/canceled, add services provided, reminders, notes, prices and more. Very easy to use and perfect for what I was looking for! Only downside is that it does not sync with google or any other calendar.
(This app also works as a regular calendar that adds all day events, birthdays, etc.)
This looks really cool…thanks for the post!
I ma using Future Scheduler App for iPhone, this not only helps us in scheduling text messages but also emails, status update and phone calls.
Hallo, actually I m using a nokia n8 where I can see all app. and todos of the day. They appear on the homescreen without need of using any button or action before, just one look on the homescreen is enough. Is there anyone who can help me – I need this urgently for my iphone. Thank you.

Anyone know a way to move exchange emails to calendar events much like I would on PC but on iPhone 4s
CalPrint is pretty good and i sync it will all my google calendars
Just updated the list with Fantastical and removed a bunch of old calendars that were not working properly. Any suggestions? Please add them
Kind of. So you go and write event X every third Tuesday. It basically repeats it every 3 weeks. I am sure if you play around with it a bit, you can make it work. I'll do another video on this soon. The one we did was just basic stuff
Looking for a calendar that I can use on my iPhone that will sys with my outlook 365 with out using iTunes
Hey,
I’d like to point out an app that might be interesting.
For making appointments based on any of your calendars – Calex (http://calexapp.com) is a great app. It lets you send a simple extract of your calendars by email. You can even provide a text list with your free times.
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calex/id615068482
I am looking for a calender app that allows me to view and edit a joint/shared exchange calender. Any suggestions?
iOS has natively supports exchange calendar. As far as I know exchange 2003 or later. So I am wonder if the default calendar app does not support it?
I like using the default calendar, I just wish it had on option to import holiday calendars. You can however manually sync different calendars like the holiday calendar from Apple. Go to the calendars page on the Apple site. Here’s a guide if u need it: http://appducate.com/2013/09/add-holidays-to-calendar-iphone-ipad-os-x/
I have been encouraged by friends to look at PocketLife Calendar by Ovalkey Ltd.
Any comments please?
Nothing beats Logacal when it comes to calendars apps.
