Do you need a good calendar app? Do you need a good calendar app that's freakin' beautiful?
Then check out Any.DO's Cal, a top iOS iCal alternative that just made
the jump to Android. Cal features all the stuff you need in a typical
calendar app and then some, and wraps it all up in a functional,
minimal, readable interface that focuses on content. It's a free
download in the Play Store. We had a hands-on a with the app a few weeks
ago, which you can check out here.
The core of Cal is its sync feature with Any.DO,
a to-do list that we've written about before. To-do items are
automatically added to your calendar along with relevant contact and
location information, if you've added it in. Naturally it will also sync
with Google Calendar - you don't even need to sign in, it will import
events from calendars saved on your phone automatically - Exchange,
Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, and Apple's iCloud. Cal integrates with Facebook
and, strangely, the car rental service Uber in supported cities. Each
daily view is given its own photo background, sort of like the featured
photos on Bing, and you can select which general categories you want via
the settings menu.
In truth, Cal doesn't do that much more than Google Calendar and its
innumerable alternatives, it just does all the core stuff so well that
it's hard to resist. The interface is decidedly non-Holo, a sort of mix
between Windows 8-style flat icons and the general minimalism that's
getting popular all over the web and the Play Store. That being said,
after trying Cal I've haven't seen any action that isn't obvious in the
context of its screen, both on the tablet and smartphone interface.
That's more than I can say for other whiz-bang apps
that hype up their UI. It's also got an integrated calendar widget (a
must-have for some users), but unfortunately there's only one agenda
view available. Performance on my Nexus 5 is great, though some of the
early reviews are reporting that the fancy animations can be choppy even
on high-end hardware.
If you're looking for a calendar that's a treat for both your eyes
and your schedule, you should definitely check out Cal and the original
Any.DO app. You'll need an Android 4.0 phone or tablet to join in.
