Calvetica Calendar Completely Revamped, Now Universal

One of the top-selling iPhone/iPod touch calendar apps is now available for the iPad too. Calvetica Calendar was recently updated and is now a universal app, meaning it will run on any of your iDevices. Created by Mysterious Trousers, LLC, the app has been completely redone for its Version 4.0 release.   It now offers a month and day layout on one screen, plus an impressive portrait week agenda view. In addition, Calvetica Calendar now works with gestures. For example, you can flick the month up and out of the way to give you more space to view your day. Need to set a generic reminder that acts like an alarm? Simply hold in the plus button at the top of the screen and decide if the event is happening in 5 minutes, 1 day or anytime in between. The Calvetica Calendar has always provided a user with a comprehensive, yet simplistic calendar experience and that thinking is maintained in its latest version. Features of Version 4.0 include:
