Among those inexplicable absences from the App Store , one of the most notable was probably the lack of an iPad version of one of the most popular calendar apps, which isn't surprising given that it bears the Mountain View company's seal: Google Calendar . Well, we can finally deliver good news to its fans, or those who were simply curious to try it: we can finally install it on our tablets too.
Google Calendar is finally optimized for iPad
It's not that Google Calendar hadn't yet arrived on the App Store , but as you'll undoubtedly know if you're a regular user or have ever tried it, until now we only had an app available for iPhone . Of course, it could also be downloaded on our iPads , but what we found was a larger version than the one that runs on a smartphone, with a user experience that really left much to be desired.
It's true that there's no shortage of options, and those of you who like to organize your tasks with the convenience of a larger screen will surely already have a favorite app for doing so. As we mentioned at the beginning, even in this case, it's worth taking a look at the Google app , especially if you usually like the company's apps dedicated to other tasks. It's also worth noting that it's a free app with no in-app purchases, always an important factor when deciding to try a new app.
But the news is especially good for all those who normally used it on their iPhone and who found that when they wanted to check or modify something while using their iPad they suddenly had to work with an unoptimized interface that (at least for most) was frankly inconvenient.
The virtues of Google Calendar
Of course, synchronization with other apps and our Google account will be one of Google Calendar 's main attractions , but there are many other features we can enjoy that go beyond simply keeping our things organized and creating reminders for to-dos. For example, we can quickly create events, make reservations , or set goals and let the app itself find a slot in our schedule for those activities.
As with the rest of Google 's apps , we'll also find that its interface is very simple and its use very intuitive, so we won't have any difficulty mastering it, which is always appreciated. And as is usual in this type of application, we'll have no shortage of different views to choose from to display our content in the way that's most comfortable for us.
