I need a better Calendar App!

Hello  I'm a long time BB user - now with the Q10.  I find the built-in Calendar app fiddley & less than terrific.  Can someone recommend a Calendar app that I could download, even if not free, that is a better business application than the built-in Calendar app.  Many thx g

Hi  Mr.DJ
I have been trying to get accustomed to flipping between dayly/weekly view/monthly views and the Agenda.  You know that if you press the "a" key - it will give you the Agenda, if you press the "d" key you get the day view, press the "w" key, it gives you the week view, and "m" key & you get month view.   Hitting the 'p" key gives you the previous day/week/month  & hit the "n" key & you get the next day/week or month - which ever mode you are in.  Hit the "g" key - and it's GO TO.  By using those short cut keys I am starting to feel more comfortable with the built-in Calendar.  I still would welcome if someone makes a good suggestion for an outside app with better functionality.  Maybe it's just a matter of getting use to the Q10 (I was previously a "Torch" user - although - truth be told - I was not a huge fan of it.  I must say I really do like the Q10 otherwise.  The Calendar feels like a bit of a week link somehow. g

  • Is there a better calendar app for the iphone?

    I have the iphone. Love it! But, I am coming over from the blackberry and I am use to the calendar functionality like scheduling To-Do's,accept or decline meeting invites, set priorities to your meetings and setup a daily meeting that skips the weekends. What I'm looking for is either the ability to sync with all of my outlook features like To-do's or purchase a application that can will expand the current iPhone calendar function. I'm even willing to abandon outlook to get this working. I know this may sound ignorant to apple users but, does iCal work on windows vista or xp and is it a better replacement for outlooks?

    Wish I had better news, but there's really no way to sync Outlook To-Do's with the iPhone. iCal does not run on anything other than Mac OS X, but even so, the To-Do list in iCal does not sync with the iPhone either (if that's any consolation).
    There are a few task manager-type apps in the App Store, but the major limitation is that 3rd party apps do not run in the background, so to get task/event reminders, you'd have to have that app open all the time.

  • A better calendar App

    Well I have had my iPhone for a whole week now and one thing I miss from my Windows Moblie phone is the calendar. On my WM phone if I had any appointments coming up they would show up on the today screen. So whenever I would turn on my phone I would see my appointments right away. Is there an App that would show like a number in the corner of the icon like the e-mail app, that would let me know I have a appointment comming up soon? And just in case anyone is thinking about it. I researched the iPhone for 2 years and knew what I was getting. This is not a deal breaker, there is no way I would go back to a WM phone again!

    I don't believe so.
    There are various sound alert options for each event with a first and second alert option. Depending on the event, a may do an alert for 2 hours before with a 2nd alert 30 minutes before, and each morning I use the list view to look over all events I have scheduled that day.

  • Stock calendar app not showing GCalendar entries

    This is in regard to the stock calendar app' which comes with the Samsung Fascinate.  I have all calendars selected as viewable too.
    I do like I did on my old phone and also make entries into the phone local calendar "My calendar".  These events show in the time-grid-listing-location for their time of day.  I now also have combined those along with GCalendar entries.
    Googles' do show as a dog-ear on the by Month (for their day), and, also on the Week, but never in the time-grid-listing.  "My calendar" entries "DO" show in the time listings.
    How do I get the Google calendar (which, by the way, is synch'ed ... I know this also because the GCalendar entries show as a mass-listing at the top of a Day listing, but, not on the time-grid-listing, and, notifications via a GCal' entry work fine too) to show also?  Can they not, and/or, do I need to go to the market and get a better calendar app'?
    Thanks in advance!  Not adverse to abandoning the stock calendar in favor of a much better/robust market-app'.  Curious which of a potential multitude is a/thee pick-of-the-litter.

    I am almost positive the "MyCalendar" is local-only (only stored on the phone).  I have not looked for where it is stored on the phone (either internal mem' or the SD card).  I suspect you can find out there the naming convention of that file if you need to back it up.  I fear that hard-reset.
    I roll 3 GMAIL accts plus the 1 local calendar (for stupid little reminders only).  In the new 2.2 Android OS, there appears much better view-ing ability between them, or all, and turning certain ones on and off manually (open the stock calendar app', hit the menu button, hit settings, and then hit calendars (bunch of checkboxes for all of your calendars, even those subscribed to via google)).
    I don't know if you can pick a default calendar  -  mine always automatically chooses MyCalendar, and, once an event is created, you are stuck with that event in that calendar (little bogus).

  • Which calendar app has the ability to send out meeting invitations?

    I need a good calendar app which I can have on my iPhone and during meetings will allow me to send out invites, without waiting to go to my computer. The default calendar does not do that.

    The Calendar app sends invites just fine for me, when creating the meeting I simply add invitees and when the event is added, invites are sent.
    You must have a default mail account setup of course.
    It also sends updates and cancel emails if things change.

  • Need to develop a feature which is similar to calendar app (Repeat:Weekly, Monthly etc) type.

    How to develop a view mentioned in the above screen shots (I have got above screens from the calendar app)? Just like above I should show label on the right side and value will be left side. After selecting value, it should redirect to another view(with multiple options) upon selecting one option it should come back to previous screen automatically. Can some one provide me the solution, I need to develop same kind of feature in my project. My project is related to travelling, left side I have to show trip label, right side default value will be recent trip, after selecting this recent trip it should redict to other view, there we will have many past and present trips. Upon selecting one option, he should come back automatically. Thanks in advance.

    What problems are you having? That seems like basic table view programming.

  • Calendar app iOS7 needs updating

    The calendar app in iOS7 is terrible, you need the preview view like in iOS6. See what events you have on in the month ahead (I know in iOS7 you can click the search button but its not the same and not easy to view) Bring back the preview view ASAP apple.
    P.S. everything else so far is good.

    I just got the "Week Agenda" app now and it seems to be really good.  Its free today also

  • If I got Beta do I need to buy the App?

    I got the Beta when it first came out. Do I need to buy the app now? Will I get updates if they come out? Is the app store one a different version to the Beta I got?

    Nope. You probably don't have a FaceTime HD camera.

    Nope.

    It supports HD calling, which also requires a FaceTime HD camera.

  • Calendar app needed

    I need a calendar app that allows custom recurring appointments (e.g. 5, 6 week intervals) for the iPhone. Can anyone help?

    Same problem here (iPhone 4S with Exchange Server 2003). Did you find a solution or an app?
    One "solution" is, not to delete the calendar requests in Outlook on the PC side.  Kind of an annoying workaround and bears the risk that you reply twice to the same invitation request.
    Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT204032 Do the mail and calendar apps need to be launched when the mac goes to sleep for them to receive new messages in power nap?

  • Best calendar app? need repeating alert, not just once

    I'm looking for a calendar app that keeps notifying me repeatedly until I acknowledge it. From what I've seen, most calendar apps (along with the built-in one) only have a one-time alert, or the alert will alert you every other minute if you fail to acknowledge the notification. I like to keep my phone on vibrate so this is a problem. I'd like it to continuously vibrate as if I'm getting a phone call, until I acknowledge the alert. If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    You can configure a google calendar to sync any way you want (2way or 1way either way).  A gmail account is free - http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlecalendar/about.html
    I don't use any "app" to keep my calendars sync'd - I use iCal on my MBP, calendar on my iPhone and iPad, and Exchange on my windows machine.  All calendars either read/write to the google calendar or you can set them independently to only read from or only write to it.
    That is what I use to keep both my personal and my work calendars syncronized on my computers and my mobile devices.  So I cannot speak to any other options, sorry - I use google for all that.

  • Does calendar app need to be open for iCloud sync?

    Hi @all,
    I was just wondering the following about the sync function with iCloud: When I add a new calendar entry on my MacBook will it be pushed automatically to my iPhone from the cloud without having the actual calendar app open on the iPhone? I am asking because I am not frequently connected to a data network so what happens with this new entry in my calendar? Let's say I connect to a data network but don't open the calendar app. I leave the data network connection open for a while and then close it. After closing the data network connection I open the calendar app but the new entry does not appear. Will the new entry be synced to my iPhone only when I open the calendar app and only when I am connected to a data network at the same time?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Define background.  Do you mean the app open but minimized or app is actually not open.  I have photos in my dock for quick access.  It is closed and does not have the dot underneath showing it is open but minimized.  If the app is completely closed is iCloud working in the background upload/downloading photos?

    I have had my iPad2 for about ten days and have just two issues with it. I would like to use a larger font in Safari's bookmark menu because it is not detecting my touch easily especially around the left third of the menu bar. Secondly, I have my older Epson printer set up with my Airport Express for wireless printing and my iPad2 cannot find the printer. I saw that HP is the only manufacturer that is listed with compatible printers. Is anyone else using other printers for Airprint or will I need to buy an App for wireless printing through the iPad2?
    On the font size issue, I just pinch-zoom the text to make it larger.
    On the printer issue, you might try the following script to "jailbreak" non-HP printers so that they work with Airprint.

  • Calendar information missing, no I cloud backup, settings claims email calendar is still on, option not available in calendar app

    So this morning when I went to check my calendar for my schedule it was completely blank. I went to "calendars" at the bottom of the application & it obly had the "birthday" calendar to select, the other three were gone. I checked another way by going into settings and then email, and it claimed that the calendars were selected & up and running, but they are not available to check in the calendar app. I also do not use iCloud because I do not have the space for everything or even my calendar because my family has 8 different apple products so the free iCloud data was sucked up extremely fast. What can I do to fix this?! I'm kind of freaking out because the calendars app is pretty much my only way of knowing what time I need to be where & it's all gone!  
    Last night before I went to bed it was all there. I went on Facebook, candy crush, & the internet for an hour and a half & then preceded to go to sleep. I woke up this morning with my calendar missing.
    Someone please help?

    Hi pefd39,
