Aug 2, 2018 - Because of this, we've decided to round up the five best calendar apps for iOS to help you decide on whether or not to ditch the stock Apple. MacOS does come with a fully-featured calendar app, but it’s possible that you may not like it and are looking for a better alternative. If you’re one of those users who aren’t satisfied with the default Calendar app, here are some alternatives for you. These apps will help you keep your tasks and events organized, as that’s what they are for. Fantastical 2 Flexibits’ calendar app really lives up to its name, offering an experience that arguably beats out even Apple’s own Calendar app. It lets you connect all your accounts easily – iCloud, Google, Yahoo, obscure ones like CalDAV, you name it – then see them all elegantly organized into the stylish flat interface. It does a great job of putting all the info under one roof and has Google-like features, such as automatically slotting things into your calendar based on things you type (“Dentist appointment next Thursday at 2pm”, for example). It’s received some good updates over the years, too, such as an ‘at a glance’ daily view and toggling various calendars on and off. In many ways it’s like an independent version of the next app on this list. You can get Fantastical for $24.99. Google Calendar Perhaps the reason you want to leave Apple’s Calendar app is not to be tied into the big corporate machine, in which case Google Calendar might not be for you. But with one of the most user-friendly interfaces around and plenty of quality-of-life features, like the option to quickly type appointments and toggle calendars, Google’s free offering may tempt you. It’s easy to export data and collaborate on your Calendar with other people and is smooth to sync up with Apple’s iCloud services. There’s no actual desktop app for Google Calendar. It’s all browser-based and syncs up with the corresponding app on and, but it’s free, and there’s a good chance you don’t want any third-party software clogging up your system. That being the case, this one’s a winner for those with Google accounts. BusyCal If you’re looking for a professional calendar app that does it all for you, is something you should try. This app integrates all of the features that you expect from a calendar app. From the ability to add events using natural language to getting multiple calendars together, it can do everything for you. It is fully customizable and works the way you want it to. You can have it show only the things that you think are important and hide the unnecessary ones. The app costs $49.99 and you can download it from the Mac App Store. Blotter claims to be an unforgettable calendar, and it does live up to its hype. What Blotter does for you is convert your whole calendar into a wallpaper and lets you view it right on your desktop. It looks so beautiful that you will fall in love with it once you install it. The app lets you specify what tools you’d like to see and what tools to be hidden. This lets you keep your desktop clutter-free. 0:58 Editors' note, May 21, 2015: This post has been updated with more information. Some time ago, Google released its calendar app for iPhone, something Android users have been able to use for a long time. Loved by many, the app has undergone a few redesigns over its lifespan on Android, but the iOS version matches up almost exactly to the current experience on Android. It's true the calendar app that comes with your iPhone or Android phone will do you just fine if you need to know what's on your agenda, but they often don't do much more than that. The iOS calendar app, while simple and easy to use, doesn't give you many options to personalize it. And with most Androids, the preinstalled calendar is often a bland, unintuitive app built by your phone's manufacturer. Google Calendar on iOS is definitely good news, but both app stores give you plenty of options to replace your default calendar. I've rounded up some of the best of the bunch, focusing on calendars that pack a lot of style without sacrificing features to see how they measure up to Google Calendar. But let's start off with the newest addition first. Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET Google Calendar Free, and Google Calendar is old hat for many Android users, but not every Android smartphone comes with it. It was sorely missing for iOS for a long time, but now everyone can experience this well thought out time management app. One of the best things about it is that the layout and design is familiar if you already use Google Calendar on your computer and it has near feature parity on both smartphones.
