We mentioned to Sunrise on another opportunity , but we put it in the list of the best iPhone calendar applications given its proposal interesting and creative.This is the first social calendar for iPhone, combining life not only professionally but also personal life have fundamentally on platforms like Facebook, where events and birthdays are the main attractions. With an interface and powerful reminder system, Sunrise is an excellent choice for those who take Facebook as a guide of things to do. Come with its main benefits.

Fantastical

Fantastical was long considered the best calendar to iPhone, and while there have been other alternatives, remains one of the best options. In the same way that Horizon allows us to incorporate the natural language in order to increase our productivity when creating events. It's a good way to replace the alternative we found natively on the phone, and it may not be the best choice for all who use it. It has an interesting collection of functionalities, which do not take away the minimalist approach found in the application. Its main benefits are:

• Fantastical The idea is that we save the maximum amount of time as we build our events. We can write or else use the dictation feature to save time.
• We have many ways to exploit Fantastical through an interface based on gestures to increase our productivity. It has an expansive list of events that let us see our agenda in different ways. To edit an event or see the details, we just have to touch it with your finger. Holding your finger on the event, we can move the date or duplicated. Through a search functionality, if you have a hectic schedule, we can find the event you're looking for. In iOS6, we can also handle your Facebook events .
• Fantastical is postulated as a good alternative to the services we have available native calendar application. This means that shares many of its features: integration with iCloud with Google Calendar, Exchange , and more.
• We talked also of dictation functionality : Fantastical recognizes five languages. We speak English, French, German, Italian and, yes, Spanish, to enter these events automatically without us having to insert us through writing.

With dictation functionality as small star, Fantastical is a great alternative for those who are not looking for a radical change, but they do want something different to what the iPhone offers by default. It is powerful, yet simple. It costs € 4.49 . Download

WeekCal

We'll get now with some more traditional alternatives to the iPhone calendar.WeekCal gives us a significant amount of functionality that you will not find in the previous applications, accompanied with an attractive price and accessible.If what you want is a calendar application on steroids, this is the alternative we want. It is ideal for people who have to handle a large number of events , so if you tend to be heavy users of the Calendar, then it is not for us. It has many benefits, but we decided to highlight these:

• WeekCal also emphasizes the speed with which we manage our events.So, has facilities to add, repeat and move appointments we have in the calendar. It also presents a gestural interface to make these changes, intuitively.
• For those people who are always busy, this calendar provides several views . For example, we have a daily view a weekly, monthly and yearly to know how come and how we can organize. We can see, for example, about all our events for the next week, so we know if we can add more citations or, conversely, leave them for another week.
• This application also gives us some details gestures that are not present in the rest of the supply. We can move our events by dragging them with your finger, as well as duplicate. It handles color coded, for example, distinguish personal events professionals.
• Finally, one of the differential values ​​offered WeekCal is the ability to subscribe to certain events that are repeated or have a significance that transcends the personal. We subscribe to sports events, national fairs, and more. This allows, for example, agendemos not something to do on a nonworking day.

These are not the only features that gives us WeekCal. It also allows us to associate events with certain phone contacts, customize our events and appointments, change the time zone in the world depending on where we are, and TextExpander support if we do not want to waste time writing all the text. It costs € 1.79 . Download

Organizer

We close our list of calendar applications for iPhone with Organizer , which as its name suggests, is ideal for those seeking an extreme organization of your schedule . However, it is certainly the most expensive app in the list, but this is because it is not just a calendar. It is practically an organizer of our personal and professional life on several levels. It has several benefits, which include:

• It has an important synchronization with various applications, but is itsfunctionality in the cloud that makes it so practical. If we use Organizer on other devices, then the changes we make in one application will be reflected in the rest.
• Also has an important timing with many applications previously present in the iPhone and which are related to productivity. Thus, we can link to the calendar , with reminders , as well as with Google Calendar.
• Not only is a calendar, it also allows us to manage tasks , natively from within the application or integration with Google Tasks.
• Finally, we can include much more in our events that will help us have a more complete description. For example, we can insert handwritten text, drawings, and even tweets directly from Twitter. You can also access the camera and take a picture (or enter the reel) to insert a photo within an event.

In Organizer, we will meet with more functionality, such as insert contacts from the directory, add voice memos, recorded from the phone, vector drawings, weekly and monthly calendar view, make backups of calendar with our PC or Mac, and protect with a password. It is one of the most expensive calendars at a cost of € 6.99 .Download
