CalCube - Quick, Slick & Easy Calendar by Appsuperb ($1.99, 10.9 MB): Grab this simple and slick calendar app from the developers of Weathercube and manage your events with fun and efficiency. Just like the aforementioned utility, CalCube's user interface is a virtual cubic rectangle with different information printed on each side and settings cleverly tucked away inside, creating an origami-type feel. You'll begin in week view, then have the choice of tapping on a day to add an event, swiping horizontally to move forward and backward in weekly intervals, flicking downward to see the entire year and select a week that way, or flicking upward and search for an event. When inserting events, the process has been streamlined by presetting of some options. Namely, you decide beforehand what reminding times intervals are preferred as well as the typical, or at least baseline, duration of the activity. Obviously, these defaults may be adjusted at any time and the parameters modified during entry. As a few bonuses, the app offers convenient weather integration, stamping the forecasted sky condition and high temperature on upcoming days, and current date displaying icon badge, plus seven vibrant color themes. Calendar data syncs via Calendar/iCal/iCloud or Google Agenda.
