Fortunately, the developers of the app appear to be working on it for a future update.Įven with that in mind, it's easy to consider Sunrise one of the best cross-platform calendar apps. With the multiple calendar services Sunrise expects people to use in the app, the lack of search features is a big issue. Sunrise Calendar is a great app, but the omission of search from the app is a head-scratcher. Through past discussions I've had with the Sunrise team, and seeing Twitter interactions from the Sunrise Twitter account, I know it's a feature the team is aware of and working on for future updates.

With Sunrise, however, you're going to have to scroll through your agenda until you find the entry.įor those who have a full calendar like me, this is a disappointing omission from the app. With most other calendar apps, including Apple's iOS calendar app, a quick search makes finding the forgotten entry possible. I think we can all relate to adding an appointment three months in the future and then forgetting the exact day it's scheduled. My only problem with Sunrise Calendar is the inability to search for a specific entry in my agenda. While I see a lot of value in having the ability to add (what I consider) informational calendars, adding too many can quickly clutter up your agenda, so it's best not to get too overzealous with it. I added the Colorado Avalanche schedule and US holidays to my Sunrise account, but quickly realized I shouldn't add too many more. This means you can add the schedule of your favorite sports teams, a national holiday calendar, moon phases, or any out of 25,000 available interesting calendars to your Sunrise account. In addition to popular Web services, Sunrise recently made it possible for users to add "Interesting Calendars" to the app. The same can be said for all calendars you add to the app. With Sunrise, once you've connected your TripIt account to the service, anytime you log into Sunrise on another device, your TripIt calendar will be available. Again, by allowing users to view important agendas within the same app, Sunrise improves upon Apple's Calendar app, which requires you to subscribe to calendars on a device-by-device basis.įor example, TripIt allows you to import a calendar into the iPhone Calendar app, but viewing the calendar isn't possible on, say, your iPad unless you repeat the TripIt setup process. Calendars you care about on all your devicesīeyond being able to view and manage your agenda, Sunrise also features the ability to import calendars from popular web services such as TripIt, Evernote, Asana, Github, and LinkedIn just to name a few. I find myself only looking at the icons when scrolling through my agenda, and knowing exactly what the entry was without having to read the title. The icons are a small feature but make it very easy to identify what each entry is. Sunrise will automatically pick a unique icon to represent what each event is for (a phone call has a phone icon, for example). One annoyance here, however, is that even though you can see your reminders, you can't create or mark a Reminder as complete within Sunrise Calendar. I understand why some users would want them separated, but it makes more sense to me using Sunrise Calendar where I can have upcoming meetings and reminders listed in one easy-to-read interface. Personally, I gave up on using iCloud Reminders due to the segregation of Apple's Calendar and Reminders apps. IOS users who take advantage of both iCloud Calendar and Reminders will appreciate the fact that Sunrise imports both services, allowing you to view reminders and calendar entries on the same screen. After the initial account creation, you can then add iCloud, Google, or Exchange calendars to the app. If you use Facebook or Google to create your account, the respective calendar will be imported into your account automatically. After installing the app, you'll need to create a Sunrise account, which can be done using an email address or by connecting to your Google or Facebook account.
The initial setup process for Sunrise Calendar is simple.
