What do you like best about iCal?

I love how iCal talks to Apple Maps; whenever you add to your calendar and add a location, calendar and maps automatically sync up. You can see your next destination on the map within the Calendar app. I love this, because I don't have to separately open Maps and plug in my destinations, because Calendar does it for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

Personally, there aren't too many downsides; it's simple and sleek. When I open the app on my phone, the appointments, destinations and notes are all laid out. I can see everything I had planned. I'd say the only downside is that you are you're supposed to put a start time and end time; I really do not like how the end time shifts when you change the start time. (I.e. If I have an appointment from 2pm-3pm and I change the start time to 2:15, iCal automatically shifts the end time to 3:15, which is not correct.) I wish they would just stay stagnant! It's so weird, I do not know how to fix it. Maybe in system settings? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work part time in property management as a tour guide, so I have a lot of appointments/houses I need to be at every hour. All of these places are all over LA: the valley, central LA, and East LA. iCal benefits me when I work this job because I can just input all of my appointments in iCal. When I work the job day of, I can open iCal and I see my day laid out; I can see my appointments, addresses, and notes in one go. I can tap on each individual appointment and see maps on that page, and all I have to do is click on the map and it will automatically open Apple Maps for me. I love how the two apps talk to each other! It makes my job so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iCal?

ICal syncs across devices and has a simple, fast interface to quickly add, update meeting days and times. The added feature of being able to send invitations to other attendees is seemless and allows for additional ease of use. The ability to color code work meetings from personal meetings is an excellent feature. The ability to set yearly and recurring reminders allows for longer term planning and organization. Multiple view options are also useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iCal?

I like that you can automatically add things to repeat as a reoccurring event and how accessible it is across all devices. I'm able to keep track of home life, business, leisure- everything in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

This is being picky, but knowing what day you created an event because sometimes you do things in a fast manor and you'll find things in there that you don't remember putting in or could have been scheduled on the wrong day. Maybe having a feature that tells you this note was created on this day and time just in case you need a reference point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCal solving and how is that benefiting you?

My organization has greatly improved and I have noticed less stress in my life as I can account for everything in one spot. As my business and professional needs have grown in various settings, so has my calendar so I'm thankful that it keeps me on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
