List and day. The List view is the one you want if you prefer seeing a lot of information in a single screen. Everything is color coded and easy to read. Day shows your events as a block on the timeline. Both of these views also inform you of the high and low temperature for the day.

Natural language input. BusyCal has support for natural language input for both event creation and new to-do items. Just type in what you want to add in plain English, and BusyCal will figure out the rest. But be warned — there is a bit of lag at the moment and no autocorrect can mean plenty of typos.

Week and month. BusyCal lets you easily check out the upcoming days in the week or you can see the full month with a single glance. Tap on days to view full details in the month view and enjoy the nice little popup animation.
