The app 'choical' is an easy tool to input your event to your calendar app. If you have ever suffered how the calendar app requires you too many taps, 'choical' willingly helps you! You can easily add your event with natural word such as 'meeting tomorrow morning' or 'day off on Wed'. 'choical' needs only 2 taps, in minimum. The prefix 'choi' stands for 'petit', 'a little', 'a bit' in Japanese. As this app requires you least effort, the suffix 'choi' is capped. Enjoy!

So many calendar applications try to do better than the stock calendar application by re-imagining each and every feature and THEN tacking on some gee-wiz crap that isn't very practical. This is not one of those apps. Rather than build another "me too" calendar application, the developer has instead created a better way to capture calendar entries. The first screen is a simple text box. Enter a title, time, duration and even notes and alarms... Yes, even notes... Which is something that even the oft praised Fantastical on OS X cannot do last I checked. All in natural language... Sort of. More on this, below. The second screen is the familiar IOS Calendar input screen where you can confirm and modify your entry. Hit done and that's it. Your entry is saved. Want to see your entry or edit it? Go to the stock calendar. This isn't a new calendar app. It's a calendar entry app. Regarding the natural language... It's a bit clunky and while you can train yourself to work within the limitations, there are just a few too many oddities that casual users will probably look elsewhere. But guys... Check back because this app could really become something great.
