If you want to see and manage your calendar on a full-size screen using a desktop app or web app that has a similar experience to what you get on your mobile device, your options are slim. Second, too many calendar apps are mobile-only or not cross-platform. For that, you need an email service the same way you need a calendar service.
Email client apps give you an interface with added tools for accessing and managing an existing email account, but they don't give you a new email account. In this way, most calendar apps are like email client apps. The app is merely a window into that information, with added tools and features to let you manage them. In other words, the calendar you connect to stores your information, including all the appointments you create and details you add to them. They require that you connect to another calendar, such as Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, to use them. I find most of them to be disappointing for two very important reasons.įirst and most importantly, the majority of calendar apps are not true calendars.
Take a look in any app store, and you'll see that calendar apps are a dime a dozen. When your family agrees to go on a vacation, for example, you can lock the dates into your calendar, share the calendar entry with everyone who is going with you, and not worry that someone will accidentally show up a week early. Really good calendar apps also let you share either an entire calendar or select events with others. They can remind us of the right amount of time before we need to leave for a meeting, a haircut, or a concert. I wouldn't be able to make it through a trip to the grocery store without my to-do list, but calendars serve a different purpose.Ĭalendar apps keep appointments. Calendars help us stay organized in ways that are different from a to-do list. How much do you rely on your calendar? Without mine, I would never know what time I requested for appointments, when a visitor's plane will land, or what day to give my dogs their heartworm pills.
