Re: Google Calendar for iPhone
#42I tried it and to me the main problem with going whole-hog to a Google Calendar app is that I don't think a platform-specific calendar app can ever be as effective as a platform-agnostic one like Sunrise.
All things social belong to Facebook, so using a calendar that isn't linked to Facebook events is a non-starter for me. Similarly, travel plans tend to belong to Google since I use Gmail, so one that isn't tied to Google accounts would never work for me either. Execution and visual design is fine, but I think to most people it's secondary to functionality. If the app is causing a large portion of my events to be disregarded, I'm not going to use it no matter how pretty it is to look at.

Can't you just sync your Facebook events to your Google Calendar?

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
I tried it on Android, but I have to scroll up-and-down to see all the 24 hours. I would love an overview where I see the full 24/7 in a glance.
If I pinch-to-zoom, I can get 23 hours on the screen at once. Not sure why it won't go for that last hour, but it should help.
That's Google's way of demanding you sleep at least one hour per day.

#45Looks pretty but it's going to take a lot to pull me away from Sunrise.
I love the design of Sunrise, but the slowness of the app and network refresh infuriates me. Been using the Google Calendar app this morning, and love the instantaneous sync. Sunrise was relegated to the fourth screen on my iPhone immediately.
Yeah. Calendars are something I only look at when I need to immediately do something. Any lag kills the uX.

#46Someday, maybe someday, we'll have a calendar app smart enough to show a month view and NOT anchor it to the first day of the month. Look at the calendar in the App Store screen shot. It's February 27th and 4/5 of the month view is showing days that have already passed. The week ahead is totally lost because the next week is in March. UX-wise is there something disorienting, taboo, or just plain illegal about centeri…
OS X Calendar can do exactly what you want. Just go to month view and then scroll.

This is actually why I use Google Calendar. The web version has a great 4 week view.
Are you using the same Calendar as I am? https://www.google.com/calendar/. I don't see this 4 week view you speak of!

BusyCal on OS X lets you scroll by week in the month view.

People think in months. Financials and billing cycles are per-month. Some people get paid monthly. I know in some european countries, this is less the case (current week#/year was almost as important). Personally I really like how Fantastical does it - portrait view is daily forecast (-1 to +5 days) listing up top with the list of events going down equally spaced, but if you rotate, it becomes the month view (which i…
The app does its best to generate one picture based on the event data and if it can't it will just use a smaller header.
In my experience, it works fairly well for non work events. It is a great way to add some personalization magic very simply.
