Looks pretty but it's going to take a lot to pull me away from Sunrise.

Loving the calendar+tasks hybrid view. It even resizes as you interact with either so you can fully make use of the available the screen estate. One can say it's "Touch-Responsive Design".

Doesn't it seem like they realized they also have another product to maintain? This version seems more of a 1.0 with just extra eye candy.

i am still waiting for the version that has innovation baked in ... e.g. something new and profound.

Could we get a mac app too. I'm tired of Sunrise.

I just wish they fixed their Gmail app for iOS.

Fixed in what way? I prefer Apple's Mail app, but I use the Gmail app when I want to look at a label or something, and it seems to work fine.

Almost without fail, switching between my personal and work email accounts causes the app to hang and I have to force-quit it. A fix for that would be nice.

White text on intensely saturated blocks just isn't very legible to me. Same goes for Windows 8.

FluidApp works great for this.

First impression: Good Heavens, this is ugly.

Second impression: What? You can't even rotate the screen to get a wider view? Are you kidding?

Sayonara, Google Calendar App.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can tap the blue text on the left that reads "10 Tue" (date, day) and it will switch from List view to Day view. Then you can swipe left and right to move between days. You can also hit the vertical "..." in the top right to get a 3-day view.

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.

I can't work with a 'list' view like they introduce here. It sure is pretty, but my brain needs a visual week with 7 columns to process the information of 'how busy am I on ... ' efficiently. Maybe some of you would like to share what calendar app you are using on either Android or iOS?

Fantastical on iOS.
