So, what Calendar program do you use?

**GoodGets** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-02-2009, 03:53 AM

Just wondering what's the best/most popular calendar that everybody uses. Although I feel that most people are gonna say PocketInformant, just wondered if anybody uses anything different. Any good free alternatives to it besides TodayAgenda?

I have the calendar tab installed on my TF3D, however its not really functional. Like you can't actually select a day and add a task.

I use to use thumbcal, and I'll probably just end up making a second today, and keep on using that.

Also, saw GekoNewCal found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434760
Haven't tried it out yet.

So, what calendar program do you use?

Yup, that's what I use (awesome program)

I have it set so it opens from the calendar shortcut on the TF3D home screen.

I also have the calendar tab in TF3D for when I just want a quick glance at a date etc

I'll second Pocket Informant. Great program.

About the only thing I would like to see from PI is allowing for more finger friendly gestures, like swiping to move to another day and so on(Thumbcal has it right with this).

I use Thumbcal and have it mapped off TF3D rather than the default MW calendar.

I use the stock calendar as I do not add appointments via the TP - Exchange backend and I use Outlook to add appointments.

Do thumbcal and PocketInformant display the upcoming calendar appointments on the home screen? I don't particularly care for the stock program but wouldn't want to lose the home screen view.

PI does (as long as it's mapped to the shortcut), although it doesn't show any MORE than the WM default calendar.

Thumbcal has my vote.
