"Using across all devices."

4.5/5

What do you like best about iCal?

iCal auto fetches any events, reminders or meetings from my gmail app to create reminders on the iCal and notifies me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

iCal sometime duplicates same events which are synced through other apps. This has to improve in detecting duplicates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love using iCal on a daily basis"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iCal?

I like the reminders the best. I am never late or miss meetings now. It is also nice to be able to share appointments with other people as long as you know their email address. Ical is nice to open up and see what is going on for the rest of the week also. You can look at the calendar as a whole or by the week or even by the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

I dislike the view of the calendar. I like when I can see the entire calendar at once. I wish you could set more than 2 reminders also. I know earlier I said you can view multiple ways but there is just something different when you can see the appointments on the calendar vs just a dot on the day. I actually use an ical widget so that I can see my appointments on the home screen of my phone directly. This helps for seeing future events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iCal:

I like how you can share meetings with other people and make sure that you husband doesn't miss appointments. Make sure the person accepts the invite also. It is nice to have as a record also of the person seeing the appointment, in case they don't show up. I also like using outlook calendar in addition to icloud. We also use outlook at my institution and I like how it is integrated with my email also. Emails are great ways to remind you of events, meetings, and appointments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I don't like when the meeting is in my calendar more than once instance. Benefits are the travel time option. This is nice when you have to be somewhere at a certain time but have to drive to get there. I also noticed that somehow facebook events are showing up on my ical which I don't like but it helps me to remember people's birthdays and also holidays. This helps when planning events for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super easy to use, great for organization"

4.5/5

What do you like best about iCal?

Very easy and clean user interface, and the multiple views and reminders are very helpful. I'd say it's one of the best calendars out there in that regard. The simplicity, customization, and auto-fill in particular are some of the best features. It'll definitely help you with organization and efficiency in terms of your schedule, especially if you're managing multiple appointments per day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

Can only be used with Apple products and devices unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iCal:

Use the color coding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The color-coding feature can be used for example for urgency or types of appointments, and that can help with clarity and ensuring the most important things aren't missed. I get easily overwhelmed and stressed when I have a lot in my daily schedule, and the ability to edit, personalize, and color-code appointments has actually been super beneficial in making my day more manageable.

"Terrible Application that Apple forces users to use..."

0/5

What do you like best about iCal?

Everything about the "ical" is absolutely terrible when compared to ANY other calendar platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCal?

When I attempt to add an event to my calendar from, e.g., an eventbrite confirmation email, it gives the options for Outlook, Google, and Apple. When I click Outlook, the Apple OS treats it like an Apple Calendar event, even though I already have Outlook downloaded (and have never used the ical in my life!). This is extremely frustrating, and honestly pathetic for a 2.2 TRILLION dollar computer company.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
