Desktop calendar feel on iPhone

BusyCal, more than other calendar apps, lets me feel like I can see at a glance, what’s coming up in the next days and weeks. I really like month view and how tapping on a date expands it to see details - while still staying in month view. It’s clever. It has a ‘big desk calendar’ feel - even on a small screen. Nothing is hidden or out of sight - which gives me confidence that I am not missing something. (especially great if you have a very irregular schedule). Entering dates has become easier recently in BusyCal, too - though I still prefer entering events in another calendar app (which I use just for that purpose). But when I want to see what’s on for a particular date nothing beats month view in BusyCal. I also really like how graphics pasted into BusyCal on Mac show up in BusyCal on iOS - and they are not just a limited selection of clip art - you can put any graphics in. When I’m consulting at a company on a date, for example, I put their company logo on the date as a ‘sticker’ which makes it easy to see an important event at a glance when scrolling through the calendar.

Developer Response ,

iPhone X support has been added to v3.3.2, coming in a day or so. We'd appreciate an updated review.

Behind functionally…

Update to initial review:

The developers have obviously been hard at work over the last few months, as the updates that have come through are really useful. Some real thought is going into making workflows easier without just copying functionality from the built-in iOS apps (long press of the today icon to bring up a date selector is brilliant, as is the long press to bring up an event type selector and drag for time period).

Great work guys - keep it coming!

Initial review:

I started to write this review over a year ago - that BusyCal for iOS feels quite antiquated in terms of functionality and when compared with other modern calendar apps’ interfaces. Over a year later and no update to bring the app at the very least in line with other apps regarding features and functionality. It is slipping further behind. I adore the desktop app and am frustrated with the iOS version in comparison. Can we at least have the ability to create an event by long pressing a time in the calendar? Keyboard shortcuts for navigating / functionality / switching views? Long pressing the Home Screen icon to quickly add an event / task? Command T to go to Today for heaven’s sake!
