Our selection: the best calendar apps for Android

Do you urgently need to find out what day it is or just find out if you need to do something important and meaningful?! Then you should read today's review on the best calendar apps for Android.

So, today's review of the best calendar apps includes: Jorte, ACalendar - Android Calendar, CalenMob - Google Calendar, Business Calendar, UpTo - Calendar and Widget, Google Calendar, Sunrise Calendar And Cal:Any.do Calendar.

Jorte

• Category: Job
• Developer: Jorte Inc.
• Version: 1.7.23
• Price: Free - Google Play

Jorte– an application that has quite interesting functionality, a simple design and cloud synchronization.

After you launch the program, on the main screen you will find a calendar, which, if desired, can be scrolled using swipes to the right and left, and the main menu will be located at the bottom of the display. If you click on the calendar, you will see an additional window that allows you to add a new event or create your own calendar, which will be available only to you.

In addition, the program has a calendar of national holidays: as soon as you launch the application, data will be synchronized, and all holidays will be displayed in the calendar (about 44). To view all available holidays, you need to click on the “National Holidays” button and indicate your nationality, after which you will have access to a list of all the holidays that are specific to you.

I would like to note a very interesting feature in the program - its own cloud storage, which is great for synchronizing data and calendars. Here you can specify the interval between synchronization or select the automatic synchronization mode, which occurs in automatic mode (Auto Sync).

A few words can be said about the application interface, which we can change and customize to suit our needs. That is, we will be able to change not only the color scheme, but also add background images, as well as change fonts and change them for a specific date, thereby marking an important day.

The application can be downloaded from Google Play absolutely free, but at the same time you will receive additional features in the program that you can use only after purchasing them.

pros:

• User-friendly interface;
• Many functions;
• Convenient calendar display;
• Cloud synchronization and much more.

Minuses:

• Availability of paid functions;
• The complexity and overall clutter of the program.

ACalendar - Android Calendar

• Category: Job
• Developer: Tapir Apps GmbH
• Version: 1.0
• Price: Free - Google Play
• extended version 199.00 rub. - Google Play

ACalendar - Android Calendar– a calendar that has several significant advantages over the Jorte application. Firstly, it is made of much better quality, secondly, it is easier to use, and, thirdly, there is not so much unnecessary content.

In the main menu you will find a calendar that can be displayed in several views. The main one is the ability to display the calendar in the form of large tiles - 9 tiles, one of which is a mini-calendar. It looks very beautiful and practical. By swiping to the left or right, we get another type of display, where events are taken as a basis - that is, an hourly description of certain things that you must do during the current day.

In the application settings, you can change the theme, change the font, set reminders about any important dates, and much more. The program is distributed in two versions: the free version has less rich functionality, and if you purchase the full version of the application for 199.00 rubles, you will get more themes for design, holidays and many other functions.

pros:

• Nice design;
• Many useful functions;
• Convenient access to daytime events;
• Availability of an informative widget.

Minuses:

• There were no visible disadvantages.

CalenMob - Google Calendar

• Category: Business
• Developer:Appxy
• Version: 2.5
• Price: Free - Google Play
• extended version 199.99 rub. - Google Play

CalenMob - Google Calendar- is a very simple and quite functional calendar, which is very similar to the built-in Google Calendar. If you hold your finger on a tile for a long time, you can create a new event by specifying a time and selecting a notification.

In the application settings you can change the theme from light to dark and vice versa. If you were looking for an alternative to the standard calendar, then consider that you have already found it.

The application is distributed in two versions, one is naturally free, and for the second you will have to pay almost 200 rubles, although I didn’t really notice the differences between them.

pros:

• Simplicity and convenience;
• Seven display modes;
• Real-time synchronization;
• Work offline and much more.

Minuses:

• Overpriced full version.

Business Calendar

• Category: Business
• Developer: Appgenix Software
• Version: 1.4.8.1
• Price: Free - Google Play
• extended version 148.00 rub. - Google Play

Business Calendar- a calendar that rightfully lives up to its name: everything is very strict and without any designer tricks. On the main screen you will find the calendar itself, you can add reminders, as well as interesting features. At the top of the program you will find a special button that allows you to change the displayed appearance (text or rectangular marks of different colors). If you select a day on which a reminder is indicated, it will immediately appear in a small window that describes the selected date as informatively as possible.

pros:

• Simple design;
• No unnecessary functions;
• Ease of use.

Minuses:

• Advertising (free version).

UpTo - Calendar and Widget

• Category: Job
• Developer:UpTo
• Version: 3.2.0.2
• Price: Free - Google Play

UpTo - Calendar and Widget is probably one of the most stylish calendar applications that can be found on Google Play. But besides the interesting design, the program has several interesting features. For example, displaying the calendar in the form of a list that we can scroll up, thereby viewing days and possible reminders. If you love stylish apps, then this calendar will be a godsend for you. As a plus, there is a built-in widget.

pros:

• Stylish design;
• Unusual calendar display;
• Set reminders.

Minuses:

• Few functions;
• There is no Russian language.

Google Calendar

• Category: Job
• Developer: Google Inc.
• Version: Depends on device
• Price: Free - Google Play

Google Calendar is an application that can be compared in functionality to UpTo, but it is impossible to say which calendar is better. If you prefer the way iOS apps are designed, then UpTo will probably be your preferred choice, but if Material Design bothers you, Google's calendar is the perfect solution.

As for the functions, everything is extremely simple and clear. A similar calendar to UpTo, designed as a scrollable list with reminders. At the bottom there is a button that allows you to create an event. The program is completely free and does not contain advertising, which is what you would expect from a good corporation.

pros:

• Design in Material Design style;
• Quick: creating, editing and managing events;
• Simultaneous work with several calendars;
• Sound and visual notifications.

Minuses:

• No cons were noticed.

Sunrise Calendar

• Category: Job
• Developer: Sunrise Atelier, Inc
• Version: 1.3.0
• Price: For free - Google Play

Sunrise Calendar– a functional calendar that has a stylish interface and some interesting features. Of course, the functionality of the program is almost the same as in the above applications, but with its own “tricks” that the developers added. Firstly, there is a special arrow located in the lower corner, which indicates the current date - this was done to simplify working with the calendar, because sometimes you “lose” today’s day when scrolling through the calendar; secondly, if you click on this very arrow, you will instantly be transported to today, conveniently; Well, and thirdly, displaying the weather for the next couple of days.

The calendar can be downloaded from Google Play absolutely free of charge, and you will not receive an advertising banner or in-app purchases, for which many thanks to the developers.

pros:

• Great design;
• Ease of use;
• Integration with social networks;
• Weather for the coming days;
• Widget and much more.

Minuses:

• No cons were noticed.

Cal:Any.do Calendar

• Category: Job
• Developer: Any.do
• Version: 1.1.5
• Price: Free - Google Play

Cal:Any.do Calendar- probably one of the best calendars for Android devices, which combines its own style combined with Material Design. The application turned out to be many times more beautiful than the others presented in this review, but moreover, it is very smooth.

All dates in the application are presented in the form of separate pages that fill the entire screen. On the page you can create reminders, and if you already had reminders, but their time has expired, then you can visually notice the difference between those that will come soon. The animation of the background looks beautiful, which is filled with beautiful photographs, which can be viewed in full size simply by clicking on an empty space.

The application is distributed free of charge and has no advertising or additional purchases. Overall, this is a calendar that you must try.

pros:

• Stylish interface;
• Simplicity and ease of use;
• Synchronization with third-party calendars;
• Interactive notifications;
• Quick creation and editing of events;
• Beautiful widget and much more.

Minuses:

• No cons were noticed.

Bottom line.

All applications presented in today's review have a place on your smartphone and are actively used. Yes, some calendars have interesting features, others have stylish designs, but they all do their job well. I liked the calendar the most Cal:Any.do Calendar.

Today's guide will focus on calendars. If you remember the Google Calendar online service, its main function is to plan tasks. In addition, the calendar allows you to synchronize events across devices, set reminders, share your schedule with other users, etc.

When selecting the appropriate applications, it was important that synchronization with Google Calendar was available. Among the main participants:

In addition, the review mentions other calendars for Android that you can also pay attention to:

Google Calendar is an official client for synchronization with the service of the same name. Almost all of its most important functions are available in the application. In some cases, the application is already installed by default on Android smartphones.

The Google application pleased us with its high-quality, updated design: pleasant colors, various covers for each month, etc. What is important is that the calendar has become more user-friendly in comparison with previous versions.

Google Calendar offers three display options: schedule, day, and 5 days. By scrolling the calendar vertically in schedule mode (analogous to a summary or agenda), you can familiarize yourself with the events. Summary allows you to quickly view current and past events. Days that do not have any events are not displayed in the schedule.

In 5-day mode, the days of the week are displayed, starting with the current one. This option is convenient for viewing all scheduled events for each day. The last mode - day mode - will be convenient when following a schedule in the most detailed view.

As for the monthly view with a grid of events, which is available in the online version, there is none. However, a combined mode is possible: by clicking on the month title in the top panel, a calendar is displayed where you can select a specific day, and a list of events can be viewed at the bottom of the window.

In the left sliding panel, calendars are available that are synchronized with Google Calendar online; you can include or exclude unnecessary ones from the list. Events for each calendar are displayed in a specific color, which allows you to separate events by type and better navigate your schedule. It's easy to add birthdays from Google contacts and public holidays to your calendar, and they will appear in the calendar along with other events.

When you create a new event, you can set a reminder, repeat, create a tag, and add a note—all functions similar to the online version of Google Calendar. You can “link” an event to a photo and Google Maps, indicating the meeting location. Calendar also synchronizes events from Gmail without any problems. When creating an event, you can send invitations to other users.

Notifications are available for reminders - both sound and in the system panel. You can add a small widget to your home screen with an agenda and upcoming events.

Summary. Google Calendar does not support third-party services and is simple in functionality in general. At the same time, it is convenient and familiar to use: you can quickly create events, reminders, there are three (in fact, four) display modes. The only missing point is the lack of todo lists, which are often useful for planning.

SolCalendar combines the functions of a calendar and planner. In addition to events, you can create todo lists and synchronize data not only with Google Calendar, but also tasks from Tasks.

By default, the calendar displays events for the selected month. An alternative mode is the agenda, in which events are displayed in one list. However, in this case it is impossible to scroll through events throughout the year by month, as in Google Calendar. SolCalendar allows you to scroll through the schedule up to a certain limit, after which you need to click on a button.

By going to the SolCalendar settings, it’s easy to connect a calendar account from Google, Yahoo, iCloud, Exchange, Daum or add a link for synchronization. After which, you can configure the visibility of certain calendars directly in the application.

When creating an event, standard data is specified - name, interval, event calendar, reminder, repeat, note. Additionally, the location of the event, a point on the map (the address is entered manually or added via Google Maps) and a contact for the invitation, selected from the account addresses, can be indicated. A special feature of SolCalendar is that it is possible to assign stickers that, in addition to the color of the calendar, highlight the event in the agenda or other modes.

An additional feature when planning a schedule is the creation of tasks. For a task, you can set the execution time, repetition interval, and, similar to events, assign a sticker. List management is simplified: there are not even categories. However, working with tasks is convenient: new entries are quickly created, and completion is marked with one touch. The only thing missing is support for a few familiar gestures (for example, crossing out an entry).

As for widget support, SolCalendar provides more choice than Google Calendar: the calendar itself, agenda, week, etc. Additionally, the widget displays weather information.

Summary. SolCalendar is useful for those users who use a Google, Yahoo, iCloud or Exchange account on a mobile device. The calendar functions are fully implemented here. In addition, there is a simple todo manager that will complement the events. However, the lack of categories makes managing large lists problematic. There are few viewing modes; SolCalendar is inferior to Google's online calendar.

DigiCal Calendar offers a wide choice - 6 display modes: day, week, week agenda (agenda), month, month (text) and agenda. It should be noted here that these modes differ from similar ones in other calendars. Specifically, the week display will show the entire 7-day schedule, and the month (text) displays a list of events as a summary.

In the schedule, events are displayed in the color set in Google Calendar. In addition, in the settings you can change the color of the calendars displayed in the schedule. The application can synchronize with the calendars of the online services Google Calendar, Outlook.com and Exchange; it is possible to add a local calendar.

The developers detailed the weather forecast, including information on temperature, precipitation, wind speed and pressure. It is displayed everywhere and in every viewing mode. In the paid version of DigiCal, a forecast 15 days in advance is possible.

There are a few notable things to note when creating an event. You can specify a point on the map via Google Maps, as well as set status and privacy. Otherwise, the settings are all traditional. According to the developers, DigiCal's calendar functions are complemented by integration with Google Now: for example, you can create a reminder to create a route. In fact, there is nothing significant in this function.

To remind you of events, you can set a sound or vibration alarm or a pop-up window. You can set multiple reminders for each event. To display the calendar on the home screen, DigiCal Calendar offers a set of widgets - a total of 20 variations, sizes from 5x4 to 1x1. You can configure the display as a list, grid, day, list of days, month and calendar by month. Lock screens are also available. Detailed weather forecast is available for all widgets.

In addition to the standard version, a version of DigiCal+ is available on the developer's page, which is slightly more functional than the free one. List of main differences:

• no advertising
• additional lock screens
• selecting a calendar to display the widget
• additional display settings (fonts, backgrounds, transparency, etc.) for widgets

Summary. To briefly describe DigiCal Calendar & Widgets, these are informative modes and customizable widgets. The user can change the appearance of the calendar, size, and display of information. In addition, DigiCal Calendar synchronizes with both online services (Google Calendar, Outlook.com and Exchange) and local calendars.

To synchronize data, aCalendar uses the standard Android calendar, and does not involve connecting other online services.

The calendar has 3 standard display modes: day, week and month. At the bottom of the window for the “Day” and “Week” modes, a monthly calendar is displayed.

The main convenience when working with calendars is the ability to scroll horizontally and vertically. Horizontal scrolling is used to switch between display modes, vertical scrolling is used to move to the next interval (month, week or day). The creation of events (long and simple tap), jump to the date and other aspects related to navigation are conveniently implemented.

ACalendar is characterized by the fact that up to 48 colors can be assigned to each calendar, and 12 colors for events. Color settings are relevant only for Android 4.1+ and Google calendars. In addition to events, the calendar can also show moon phases and birthdays. The list of birthdays is taken from the address book, the data can be edited independently.

When creating an event, you can flexibly set up repetitions (every two weeks or 3 days, by days, weeks and intervals) and reminders - one or several for one event. Sound can be configured for reminders in aCalendar; for some reason, the remaining options are only available in the paid version.

Full-screen calendar widgets come in two sizes - 1x1 and 4x4 (with navigation support).

aCalendar+, the paid version of the application, offers additional display modes, settings, tasks, color themes and other options.

Summary. aCalendar is a popular application with standard Google Calendar features, thoughtful navigation and convenient gestures. Three display modes and widgets are enough for information content, and at the same time, weather forecast and synchronization with third-party calendars in aCalendar would be appropriate.

Pivot table

Worthy of attention

A production calendar with working days and weekends in the Russian Federation provides information about weekends and shortened days during the selected year. In addition to the information part, there is a built-in working day calculator - it is convenient for calculating standard hours.

Essentially, “Your Calendar” has two display modes - monthly and annual calendar. When you select a day, upcoming events are displayed at the bottom. As for holiday dates, clicking on the corresponding item opens a Wikipedia page with information about the date.

In “Your Calendar” you can leave notes, for which, in turn, you can set reminders. It's easy to sync your contacts' birthdays from your address book and include them in your event list. There is no link to Google Calendar or synchronization with other online services.

In principle, “Your Calendar” is completely independent and easy to use without online integration. There is only one complaint - scanning the address book when moving to the next year takes a lot of time.

Month is a set of customizable calendar widgets for Android. Regarding the visual part, there are about 70 design themes to choose from to suit every taste; you can also purchase premium themes in the store.

In terms of functionality. First of all, Month requires synchronization with Google Calendar. In addition to this, you can add lunar phases and birthdays of contacts to the calendar. In the widget window you can also view the agenda or open a list of tasks. However, this will require an external application. Therefore, Month is recommended only for working in “reading mode” - namely, viewing events.

Agendary is a social calendar designed for scheduling meetings. Thanks to integration with Google, you can create events, send invitations, accept or decline requests. The Agendary toolkit also allows you to share calendars with other contacts.

All events are divided into several categories - Organized, Accepted, Declined, Maybe and Unreplied.

Agendary does not have calendar display modes other than a list. You can quickly jump to today, view Google Calendar events, and create a reminder, but you cannot edit or comment on entries. This can only be done with events created directly in Agendary. When creating a record, the location, start and end date, participants, and description of the event are indicated.

Overall, Agendary is a very simple scheduler in terms of functionality. It would benefit from integration with other services (Google Maps), the ability to edit events and alternative viewing modes (by day, week and month).

Sunrise Calendar does not contain any unique features. However, this application has taken root well among Android users, as evidenced by about 1 million downloads on Google Play. Sunrise replicates the functionality of Google Calendar, but the interface has been redesigned. Here you can quickly switch between events, dates, and go to the current day. When creating an event, you specify the location, contact (participant), reminder, and repeat of the event. You can also set up notifications directly for Sunrise.

As for online synchronization, Sunrise Calendar supports adding calendars from Google Calendar, Exchange and iCloud. In the settings or when you first launch the application, it is easy to connect accounts of popular social networks and services (Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, Github, etc.).
