Description
miCal is THE calendar that you’ve always wished your iPhone or iPad had! miCal makes scheduling easier, clearer—and better looking—than ever before.
Quick Overview
The dashboard displays your current appointments and events, tasks and birthdays. You can also see the current weather and an overview of the current month at a glance.
Intuitive Controls
Intuitively navigate through your calendars and quickly, easily add events and tasks thanks to predefined settings and simple controls. Standard settings like repeating events and reminders/alarms are just a tap away. And powerful special settings are also available, without sacrificing comfort or control. Swipe through views and open events or days with just a tap.
miCal Understands You
Quickly create events with the new natural language input feature. Natural language input allows you to create events just by describing them. And if you have Siri enabled on your device, you can even dictate your event details instead of typing.
The Total Package
miCal provides complete, well-organized day, week and month views and displays the calendar week in all the important views.
Relax
You don’t need to contort yourself with miCal. miCal supports portrait as well as landscape formats in nearly every view. Use each view however it’s most comfortable for you.
Tasks/Reminders
miCal now supports iOS reminders. Create reminders for all the important tasks in your private and professional life right in the app.
Birthday Manager
Never again miss an important birthday. Get reminders at preset times featuring the music of your choice.
Nice Weather
Five-day weather forecasts plus the sunrise/sunset times, humidity and wind speed for the current day. The dashboard even features a quick summary of the current weather as well as a brief forecast of the coming days.
Comprehensive
miCal offers a unique range of features. Copy, move or send your events. Export your events in the date range of your choice as CSV (for Excel, etc.) or ICS (the calendar format). Set colors for your calendars and individual appointments or automatically add colors based on keywords in event titles.
Up to Date and Secure
miCal communicates with your device’s integrated calendar. miCal works with all the calendar services that your device currently supports (iCloud, Google Calendar, Outlook, Exchange, Facebook Events, subscriptions) without requiring additional configuration. That way, you can store your data locally or via the services you know and trust—it’s up to you. miCal itself does not transmit any data to external services or other servers. That allows us to ensure 100% data security.

Customer Reviews
This is One Sweet App
I was really liking the built-in calendar and didn't think I needed something different, but after a week of use I checked out the available apps. I choose this app for several reasons; 1) the least intrusive, 2) the smallest foot print for what it packages, 3) user customization and 4) the appearance and simplicity (meaning a very low learning curve). So after a month of use, I have opted to retain the app and use it multiple times daily. I really like all of the custom options that are easy to access and view.
In conclusion, if you like the calendar app that comes standard, but would like just a tad more horsepower, look no further than this app!
Update (2015): I'm still using this app on a daily basis for almost 2 years now. It is without a doubt the best replacement calendar out there. The only thing that could make this better is if Apple made this their default calendar program. Keep up the good work folks!
Update (2016): Still using the app daily! I use Outlook 365 at home and this app syncs with it (through the Apple default calendar app) without a hiccup. If I had but one wish, it would be for an update for a few more default calendar color choices. Other than that trivial thought, this app has everything else one would ever need or want. Plus, they are continually providing updates, which is a must to stay abreast of Apples iOS updates. Thanks MiCal 😊
Potential but bugs like failed alerts
Why are development skills mutually exclusive of design skills?
This app has good UI design but major bugs. Other comparable apps have ugly design but not nearly as buggy.
I want this app to work well. It's closest to what I loved in my old Palm Treo 600 "MyWeek" app. But this app has major bugs like alerts never firing and poor support for Natural Language Input.
Finding more bugs over time so dropping another star.
Natural language input in this product is very poor compared to competing products and buggy like wrong times (12:30am is NOT 30 minutes before 1pm) and inability to use a time at start of input (e.g. "1pm lunch".
ALERTS DO NOT WORK. MAJOR FAILURE FOR A CALENDAR APP. I almost missed an appointment because alerts for this app NEVER appear or sound, not on iOS 9 or 10. Yes, I have them configured correctly in app and system settings. I ended up paying $$$ for another app with good week agenda view and ALERTS THAT WORK and it was totally with it.
Developer has work to do to make fundamental calendar features work in this app.
Notifications don't work
For awhile I thought I didn't have my settings correct because I never get notifications, but from reading these reviews I guess it's not just me.
One of the reasons I like this app is that it allows for custom alerts, not just the limited, standard alerts most calendars offer. But I've switched to another app - also with custom alerts - because this has been a longstanding problem that is apparently never going to be fixed.
