Agenda Calendar Updated To 3.0, Brings Faster Event Creation And More
Agenda Calendar, came out about a year ago (my original review can be found here), and has been my preferred calendar app for my iPhone and iPad ever since. To celebrate its first year in the App Store, it just got a version update to 3.0, making the app even better with more features.
I prefer Agenda over the native calendar and other options because of one main thing — it is extremely fast, and it focuses on the most important thing: the present. The past is hidden unless you scroll back to it for whatever reason, but the main focus is on the present and the future.
On launch, I can quickly see how my day is going to look with the day or week views. If I need more details on an event, a couple of swift swipes allows me to see the info I need, or a simple tap. I can swipe to change views to see the month, or even year. Agenda also has “smart features” such as making a call from the app or opening directions.
In previous versions, Agenda provided a way of creating events that was similar to the native Calendar. However, with version 3.0, adding a new event got a major facelift. The app now features even faster event creation with a more intuitive screen — picking the day and time has never been faster. There are also advanced custom repeat options, which is a bonus.
Additionally, other newly added major features include the ability to insert a contact into an event to use with status taps, new default settings, and the iPad version now allows users to swipe left or right to change views.
