Gone are the days when, we used to think, a calendar is simply a calendar and nothing more than that. Most of us also have a presumption that all calendar apps work similarly and there is nothing outstanding about them. Hold it Sherlock, there is so much more that a calendar does and especially in today’s world where we live by deadlines and constant rush between one meeting and another. In such condition, what we all need is an efficient calendar app which sets everything straight for the day and makes it simple to carry out for you.
