Hands on: Any.do's Cal is a clever, sleek little calendar app
When it comes to third-party calendar and to-do apps, the App Store is flush with possibilities. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement or experimentation. Cal, Any.do’s new calendaring app, attempts to show you your schedule in a way that lets you maximize your free time during a day. I took the app for a brief spin on Wednesday; here are some of my initial impressions.
Easy setup
Cal is a pleasure to get started with; you just press a few buttons to import your calendar settings and grant access to your contacts and you’re ready to go. You can toggle which calendars you’d like visible, set your default calendar for new events and your default list for new reminders, and when the week should start (Sunday or Monday).
Pretty pictures, clean interface
Unsurprisingly, Cal takes design cues from both iOS 7 and minimalistic third-party apps in its default appearance: Your calendaring info is presented in red and grey on sleek white cards which hover atop photographs and illustrations. Like Fantastical, you can view your calendar by week or by month, with the highlighted day’s events shown in a list below that. You can scroll to go forward or backward by week or month, depending on your view.
