Two apps that got my attention greatly improve the built-in calendar app are Week Cal from Utilitap, and Calvetica from Mysterious Trousers. Both integrate with iCal and the iPhone’s built-in calendar, as well as sync with Google Calendar for those that prefer to go that route.
Week Cal for iPhone offers landscape calendar view as well as a week view
Week Cal brings a decidedly iCal-like interface to your iPhone and boasts numerous features. Perhaps one of the top features is the ability to rotate the screen for a landscape view of your calendar, and great list, day, week and month views. Week Cal costs $1.99
Calvetica for iPhone offers a simplistic interface offering quick access to everything
Calvetica goes in the opposite direction, opting to offer a simple interface that requires as few taps as possible to view and set calendar items. Calvetica is fast, syncs with iCal, and offers snoozable event alarms. There is a free version that allows you to try the basic functionality, and the pro version costs only $2.99.
I’ve been using the free version of Calvetica for a few days and really like it, but both apps appear to be quite impressive. If you’re looking for something a little different to keep track of your day, I think you may find at least one of them to be to your liking.
I’m with you. None of the available calendar apps fill all my needs, but Calvetica is easy to use… so points for that.
Hmm… Calvetica looks like it does what I’ve been looking for in regards to having more than TWO FREAKING ALARMS for events. It still doesn’t seem to offer the level of control that iCal and all my crappy (FREE!) pre-iPhone phones had, but I’ll compromise here.
Thanks!
