1 Fantastical 2
For anyone who is busy all the time, Fantastical 2 ($3) is the only app you should consider. In addition to seeing your calendar, you'll also see a list of reminders and events for the day. The app also integrates with your iPhone calendar and reminders apps, so no need to worry about forgetting anything. You can also type in something like a reminder, to do, or event, and the app will automatically schedule it on your calendar.
Available for iOS
2 Microsoft Outlook
If you're someone who is really going to miss Sunrise, then switch over to Microsoft Outlook (free). It ingrates many of Sunrise's best features, like icons that specify a certain event. You can connect your email to it as well to make scheduling easier and attach files from there, or from other products like Dropbox and Box. It's simple, pretty to look at, and does the job right.
Available on iOS
3 Google Calendar
The best part about Google Calendar (free) is the new "goals" feature. You can add a personal goal and the app will schedule it on your calendar. Other great aspects of the app include seeing your calendar in different ways like by the day, three-day chunks, a week, and a month. The app also creates fun and cute designs for certain events or includes a map of where an event is.
Available on iOS and Android
4 Calendars 5
Unlike Fantastical 2, Calendars 5 ($7) focuses on the calendar view and is less about your daily events. Like Fantastical 2, you can also type in a reminder or meeting and the app will create the event for you. If you need to move an event, no need to hit the edit button — just drag it to the new date.
Available on iOS
5 Timepage by Moleskine
Into sleek and minimal design? Then Timepage by Moleskine ($5) is for you. The design is simple and easy on the eyes, but still shows you your calendar and events of the day. If you're one to plan ahead, the app also provides "temperature and rainfall forecasts" that should make it easy to figure out outfits and appropriate footwear.
Available on iOS
6 Rolo
Take a new approach to your life with Rolo (free). Unlike other calendar apps, this one uses a circle to show you how your time is "divided" into activities like meetings, dinner, and so on. It's a great tool for someone trying to better their work-life balance.
Available on iOS
7 Raft
Say goodbye to trying to plan something in a never-ending group message with Raft (free). It's a calendar app made for friends and couples who want to plan activities together. You can comment on and like your friends' plans and make your events cute and unique with GIFs and emoji.
