The iOS version of a popular Mac OS Calendar alternative, Fantastical ($1.99), is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch. Similar to its Mac counterpart, Fantastical is designed to make the mobile calendar very user friendly, with features not available in Apple's iOS Calendar. The biggest differences between Fantastical and the iOS Calendar is that the former sports a DayTracker for viewing your scheduled events at a glance, and the ability to use finger swiping gestures to navigate calendar days and months.

A decent calendar service is indispensable. No matter what alternative I tried using - Windows Live, iCloud - I've always turned back to Google Calendar. It's easy to use, and widely supported. Even most (desktop and mobile) operating systems now provide out-of-the-box support. However, for some unknown reason, synchronising multiple calendars has always been at least a bit tricky to set up. It's no different for Windows 8.

Like your computer, your iPad comes packed with a number of day-to-day tools, so you can get engaged almost immediately after unboxing.

Both Google and Windows Live calendars can be synced with the other calendar service, allowing you to see your calendars in one place. This can be useful for effortless syncing – for example, if you add your Windows Live calendar to your Google Calendar account, it will appear in the Android calendar app with no additional account setup required. The same goes for Windows Live applications.

Another area where Evernote isn't as effective is if you're looking to keep a schedule. Natively, Evernote doesn't support any calendar integration or agenda features, so I'd recommend other software. The tool that I'm going to show you today, Notee, can't be put on the same elite pedestal as Evernote but it manages to pick up where Evernote falls a little short.

Often scheduling a meeting or event for a group of people to agree upon can be as frustrating and time consuming as finding your kids lost in a busy mall.

Most people do tend to backup important things such as their hard drive content or their phone’s SD card, but there’s one important thing most people don’t worry about: their calendar. Specifically, Google Calendar. If you delete an event on Google Calendar by accident, you have about 30 seconds to change your mind and hit “Undo”. After that, it’s gone forever. So what do you do?

Click one button in the tray and see what you need to do today. Calendar Indicator gives you quick access to your upcoming Google Calendar appointments, and doesn't rely on any other software to get that information. This means you don't need Evolution to see your appointments in the tray.

I love iPhone apps that solve little problems which can often be worrisome if not addressed. How many times have you needed to know when the warranty ends on a product you purchased, or when was the last time you visited the dentist? Usually we have to second guess this type of information, or locate receipts to find these dates. But now there are some handy iPhone countdown and reminder apps that can help you.

So many of us use Google Calendar every day without once thinking about all the extra useful things it's capable of doing for you. Every now and then you probably find yourself paying attention to a Google Calendar feature you hadn't really thought of or noticed before and thinking "Well, I should definitely set that up - That's SO USEFUL!". No doubt adding calendar entries by SMS will be another one of those things.

I usually just stick to using Google Calendar for my scheduling needs, and Workflowy as my online to-do list. It takes a lot to impress me about any calendar/scheduling system. So I was a little bit hesitant to try a new calendar system that I came across, and more than a little surprised to discover that I loved the new system. It's called Coolendar.

After trying so many organization systems, I noticed that I yearned for specific features in a not-too-complicated system, like for example, integration between a calendar app and the task app in question. In my search for alternative calendar/task list applications, I’ve found two, Coolendar and 1Calendar, that seem to focus a bit more on this integration.
