"iCal for mobile users"
5/5
What do you like best about iCal?

It is easy to access, even though it is primarily for iOS users it is a great application to handle calendarization, scheduling and programming. I love using it. Kudos!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

Even though I can easily make programming, scheduling and booking for me and other members of the organization is is quite difficult for non iOS users to get familiar with the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful Calendar App with Some Limits"
3.5/5
What do you like best about iCal?

It's convenient that the app comes standard with IOS and syncs pretty seamlessly across Apple products. It's most useful for keeping track of dates associated with your Contact Lists like birthdays and anniversaries. I also like the accuracy with which it maps your appointment locations. It then gives you updated reminders (including traffic alerts) so you can make it to your destination on time which is especially handy if you own Apple products like the iPhone or Apple Watch. This feature is one of the main advantages to using the app. However, I feel that features could be added to improve the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

Though the app is pretty functional, it isn't the most visually appealing and lacks customization features. The monthly, weekly, and daily views are a bit clunky on iPhone, especially in my opinion. Also, unlike other scheduling apps, you cannot generate a virtual meeting room as a location or invite others to the appointment as seamlessly. It is also not easy to sync iCal with other calendar applications like Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar. Because of this, I find myself, using the aforementioned applications (Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar) much more often than iCal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Invaluable Scheduling Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about iCal?

Apple's Calendar application is my go-to scheduling platform. It allows users to keep track of important life events with seamless integration between Mac computers and iPhones via iCloud. Various color schemes are available to differentiate types of events. Alerts are relatively customizable, as users can set up to two alerts per event. Perhaps best of all, in addition to adding a location for each event, there exists a large section for notes -- this works perfectly for storing Zoom links (and meeting IDs and passwords) or other small tidbits of information that would be useful to know prior to the event of interest. Users can choose between daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly views of their calendar, adding to the overall customization that Calendar offers. If you are a Mac user, there really isn't a better alternative than to dive deeper into the "Apple ecosystem." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

There really isn't much to dislike about Apple's Calendar application. One minor issue, however, exists in the weekly view. In general, this view is great because it features a red line that moves down the day (and week) with time throughout the day -- however, it is impossible to see the entire day (i.e., 7 am-7 pm) in one view, and zooming out isn't an option. Genuinely, this is a minor issue, but it exists nonetheless and is why I personally prefer the monthly view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent functionality but features could be improved"
3/5
What do you like best about iCal?

I like that I can quickly and easily check my upcoming meetings and appointments and search for them by title. I like that I get reminders for meetings (usually). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

I dislike that old meetings sometimes stay on my calendar even after they've been canceled and that their reminders continue to go off. I dislike that when you accept a meeting from your phone or propose a new time it screws up the meeting invite. I also dislike the interface with Zoom and WebEx is very poor. In our increasingly virtual world, this must be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
