We have a lot going on in our lives beyond what our calendar tells us. There’s the Game Of Thrones season finale you want to take home, the corporate earnings call you’ve invested so much in and of course you need to go to the pub to see Manchester United lose again.
You plan lunches with clients, weekly meetings with your boss, and project submissions in your faithful calendar app. Then why would you leave the things listed above for other specific applications or worse, your memory? Why can’t you have a calendar app for everything that’s going on in your life? And of course, you’ll want it to be smart and automatic. You don’t want to manually enter the date of the Man Utd disaster do you?
No, you don’t. That’s why on your iPhone or Android, download either of these apps. In their own right they are great but what makes them so spectacular are the exceptional plugins and calendars.
Tip: Using calendar apps is a great way to increase both organization and productivity.

Sunrise is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac, and it’s by far the best calendar app you can buy for free.
But the app has two particularly interesting things. Once your account is created and linked to Google Calendar, you can integrate it with other services or add what the app calls “Interesting Calendars”.
Services you can integrate include Facebook for events and birthdays, Asana and Producteev for task management deadlines, and Foursquare and Twitter for Foursquare and Twitter assets. If you use Songkick to track concerts you plan to attend, Sunrise will enter these details directly.
The Interesting calendar integrated sports match times (even for India’s favorite sports cricket often overlooked in such apps), religious calendars, stock market updates for specific companies , etc. Sunrise is also fast with their calendar. For example, they had the 2014 World Cup calendar ready for the FIFA event.
To
Okay, so religious and sports calendars are certainly helpful but what if you want more? Something specific and niche? Well, you’ll most likely find it in the UpTo calendar app for iPhone and Android.
UpTo’s user interface features layers that you can separate using a two-finger pinch gesture to reveal more details about the day’s agenda. The app has a library of over 25,000 individual calendars organized by general categories that are searchable in seconds.
If you’re thinking 25,000 is just a number, think again. The amazing amount of specific calendars in this app is amazing. I’ve been playing with this app for a while, and I’ve subscribed to almost a dozen of them.
Favorite TV shows like Last Week Tonight, Game of Thrones, etc.? Check. Calendar for not only prime time sports but also local/national events like college football or Indian Premier League? Sure. Plus, add new releases for movies, books, and all types of media.
If you download this app, pay attention to search because it’s the only way to find what you’re looking for. With such a wide range, the categories won’t be very useful.
Remind me always
What’s the use of an events app without reminders? Like your calendar appointments, both of these apps are well-equipped to send reminders for any special calendar you choose.
