Vantage Calendar for Pc

I have used iPhone native calendar, google calendar, and planner pro over the years. I found this, stumbled onto this app, and thought I would check it out. Frankly I liked the graphite clean look of the screen I found in the App Store and thought I would check it out. Wow what a neat app. Clever and stylish in looks but very capable in what it does = a great calendar AND Task manager in one fun little app. I don’t normally get impressed by iPhone apps, but this one surprised me. I almost didn’t download it because of the in app purchase price of $9.99, I was concerned that it might be some kind of silly monthly fee, but it was a one time purchase that opens up all the features. By the way they give you free access to begin with so you can try them all out, they call it points, when you get to zero points you have to make a decision as to whether you want to unlock all the features by paying the one time fee. Needless to say I paid one time fee and I am quite happy with what the app does. The only issue I am having, it is probably not the app, I am having a bit of a battery drain issue. It’s not a significant drain but it is a noticeable drain so I will continue to watch it. I am running an iPhone 6 with a replaced battery.

When I first downloaded this app a few months ago I was so excited to use it. The design is great and I love the integration of to do lists and calendar in one place. However I have noticed two major issues with the app which have occurred again and again. The first is that when you cross time zones the app will randomly change the time of events. I am a graduate student and frequently travel from one time zone to another to visit family and friends, and I began to notice that events in my this app were changing times. At first I thought I input them incorrectly; however, since my calendar syncs with my Apple calendar, I was able to confirm that I had not entered the events incorrectly as the correct times were noted in the Apple calendar. The second issue is that the app frequently loses to do items or events altogether. Again I was able to confirm that this was not my error since the numerous reminders and events which the app has lost are still in my Apple calendar and reminders apps. These issues are huge. I have almost missed multiple meetings and deadlines because I was relying on the accuracy of my calendar and almost missed a flight because of these issues. Honestly I was so excited about this app but now I wish I had not purchased it. Until they fix these issues I would say that you shouldn’t waste your money.

I don’t leave reviews, but had to for this app. It looks gorgeous. Navigation is intuitive. The color scheme can be customized. Adding events are easy. You can also see your week at a glance with the days broken out by hour, which is exactly what I was looking for. This novel way of scrolling through your days a la Star Wars, and expanding and collapsing your events from view is surprisingly useful. I had thought it would be more for show than function and I was wrong. You sync your calendar and reminders with this and it combines it into a powerful and beautiful productivity app. This is, at its core, a clinic in how design can be used to help improve people’s interface with tech. I can’t say enough good about it, especially after downloading and subsequently deleting other apps that look awful, are unnecessarily complex, or glitchy. There’s a one time fee of 9.99 to unlock all features, and for all the other developers carving off a part of your hard earned income with insane monthly subscriptions, is a complete steal. I’m so glad I found this app. Give it a download. It’s free to try. I know I’m done looking around. This is it.

So I've used Apple calendar for a long time, and switched back and forth with Google calendar and other apps. Until now. This thing is freaking awesome! Finally an app developer with some common sense. Let's put our reminders/to-do list items within the same application as our calendar... Sounds like a simple yet rational thought, right? Well until this app, I have yet to find another app that pulls everything together so seamlessly with a beautiful interface that's clean and stylish. You have this futuristic look, but not overstated scrolling star wars style calendar which is really cool. But if you don't like it, you can simply swipe to the left and all your calendar events show up in a regular scheduler style. Swipe to the right and all of your reminders are there and sorted into little booklets for you... And they show up in your calendar! There is a $10 one time charge to use the full functionality of the app, but come on?! Your calendar and reminders are your life! $10 is so worth the cost. Plus it saves the you the hassle of flipping between applications. Don't be a cheap skate and pay it! You'll be glad you did!
