Touch Calendar makes viewing your calendar as easy as using Google Maps! No more flipping between different calendar views. Touch Calendar does it all from one zoomable and scrollable view. Touch Calendar works with Google Calendar and any other calendars your phone supports. This is the full version including widgets to show your calendar directly on your phone’s home screen. Also features calendar search and custom repeating events (e.g. biweekly, bimonthly).

Price: Free, ~$2.34

Pros & Cons:

Pros

• An easy to manage graphical interface of all your calendars in one place
• Pinch-to-zoom functionality, as well as double-tap zoom in

Cons

• No Agenda view
• To add an event, you have to go into the Menu

Touch Calendar is a great calendar app that makes it easy to manage and view your calendars.

Features:

Touch Calendar is a basic calendar program that brings all your calendars together in a very easy to navigate and use graphical interface. My only real complaints is the lack of Agenda view, since this is my personal to-do list and the way I manage my time, as well as the lack of a way to add an event from the interface itself – you have to bring up the menu screen, select More, and then select Add an Event from there. The free version requires you to open the app to view the calendar, but the paid version does offer widgets for the home screen.

Tapping on an event brings up the same screen you get in other calendar apps for viewing and editing events, from the default calendar. I haven’t used a calendar app yet that doesn’t do this (they might be out there, I just haven’t used them yet – feel free to leave a note in the comments if you have one that does!) so it’s not really anything against it.

The Go To Date option in the menu us nice, since instead of just offering to bring you to “today” you can set it to jump you to whatever date you’d like, making it a quick way to navigate to a specific event, instead of having to scroll through the calendar to find it.

Usefulness:

Very, especially if you manage multiple calendars across several accounts linked to the phone.

Ease of Use:

Incredibly easy.

Frequently Used:

If you’re like me, pretty much all day every day.

Interface:

Again, very easy to use. The pinch-to-zoom is particularly great for quickly navigating and viewing events.
