The best calendars for iPhone and iPad (review). App Store Deluxe Moon HD Pro

From time immemorial, the Sun and Moon were revered heavenly bodies and were identified with deities. Many people attributed supernatural powers to them. Those who believe only in science will not deny the change of day and night, the change of seasons, the ebb and flow of the tides. Women feel the lunar cycles in their own way. Eclipses of the Moon and the Sun are of a real nature.

The phases of the Moon and the Sun have well-described mathematics and have nothing to do with mysticism.

Developers from the company T.R.O.N created the iOS program Your Moon, which calculates the basic parameters of the orbits of the Moon and the Sun in real time.

What you will see in the program:

1. All calculations are performed on the device and do not require an Internet connection.
2. Calculation period (1900-2050)
3. Time, dates, geographical coordinates – local
4. Transitions for summer/winter time and changes in time zone shifts are correctly taken into account for the entire calculation period

Main design parameters (there are more than 40 in total):

• date according to the Julian calendar
• Moon phase
• visible surface of the Moon
• local sidereal time
• distance to the moon
• age of the moon
• lunar day (canonical)
• lunar House (Arabic)
• lunar zodiac sign
• right ascension
• declination
• elevation (height above the horizon)
• coming phases of the moon
• a clearer picture of the location of the Moon and Sun
• information about upcoming eclipses
• Moon and Sun rise/sunset

At any point in time, you can specify a specific date, time and place (after all, for an accurate calculation you need to know the geographical coordinates of the place for which the calculation is being made) for the calculation.

The program implements 3 additional calendars, which are calculated once a month:

• complete calendar of lunar events for the month
• apogee and perigee calendar
• calendar of solar and lunar eclipses

The program contains folk signs associated with the lunar cycle.

Now some information for those who doubt it. Why is all this needed:

1. It might just be interesting.
2. Experienced gardeners take into account the phase of the moon when planting/pruning plants.
3. Fishing fans know on which lunar day which fish are best caught.
4. Some people associate going to the hairdresser with the phase of the moon.
5. To shoot a sunrise or a lunar path on the surface of the water, you need to know the time and place of these events.

The application is available for iPhone and iPod touch priced at $0.99.

The developer provided us with 5 promotional codes to download the program for free. Codes will be drawn among visitors who left a comment on the article. Don't forget to fill out the E-mail form. We wish you good luck!

The competition was held, the winners were: Sa64ka, iSha, jigu3000rda, toha and Udjin. Thank you everyone for participating!

We bring to your attention best examples this category of applications for iPhone and iPad, characterized by high ratings.

Calvetica Calendar

An undoubted advantage, in addition to the laconic design, is that all dates are presented in a single field and you can switch to an arbitrary day of any year in a couple of clicks, without tedious rewinding. Also, unlike the standard calendar, there is a differentiated system of reminders about upcoming events. But, in general, Calvetica Calendar just a superstructure basic service in iOS, nice, useful in its own way, with an abundance of customizable parameters and a price of 99 rubles.

Fantastical 2

In April, after the release of the iPad version, the application quickly rose to the top of downloads, despite its considerable price by the standards of the iOS environment. Firstly, because of the beautiful and convenient interface, which allows you to turn days into months with short swipes, making far-reaching plans linked to the current day. Secondly, the reminder language is adaptive, you can write in a conversational style and Fantastical 2 will understand everything, translate it into digital format and check the boxes where necessary. True, the option is available only to English-speaking citizens.

The Homework App

A student’s hated homework turns into a student’s unfinished coursework—and this organizer application was created to help both. Obviously, the issue was taken up by someone who himself had recently graduated from a university, or perhaps had dropped out of it with a bang. Application The Homework App Although it is designed for the Western model of learning, it is suitable for all students. Color schemes to indicate specific events, deadline reminders, teacher guidance, links to semester structure, etc. And all this splendor is free, because where does the student get the money?

iCalendar

The basic calendar can easily be expanded to include a wide range of events, such as national holidays or the local polo league schedule. To do this, the application synchronizes with services like iCloud, Google, Exchange, Outlook and Yahoo. User privilege is a convenient mechanism for adding messages about various events. For example, templates for typical tasks or automatic generation of reminders about what is happening on schedule, such as going to the pool or showing the next part of a fashion series.

Sunrise Calendar

The morning has come, the sun has risen - it’s time to check the news feed, look at Twitter, see what’s new on LinkedIn, Foursquare and other social services. Or, feeling like a seasoned but forgetful lone wolf, ignore society and place reminders about what to do and where to go for this. Linking an event to a point on the map is quite convenient by default, as is notification of expected precipitation, because the weather forecast is always useful. For all this functionality, wrapped in a nice shell, the developers do not ask for anything - the application is free.

Week Calendar

The program is compatible with any calendar for iOS and is an add-on with a very powerful task planning mechanism. Drag-and-drop technology, hyperlinks, color schemes – you can sketch out a detailed plan for a week for a large family or a medium-sized agency and not break a sweat. Most of the actions are automated, for example, sending out invitations to those who are supposed to come to a meeting on Thursday; the program is trained independently - you just need to indicate specific contacts in the event description.

Calendars 5

This “smart calendar” recognizes the Russian language, and in a conversational format, and for this alone you should love it. Or for the interface, which even on iPhone screen allows you to quickly glance at the entire month, at least a specific day - not to mention the spacious iPad display. The application is trained to synchronize data with iCloud and Google services– if someone reasonably prefers to use them instead of built-in iOS solutions. Another important feature is the SMS reminder mechanism, which is not very common in other calendar programs. Of course, this cannot be free; the official price is 229 rubles.

Daily Routine

Time management, strictly speaking, is a very useful science, but due to innate carelessness and laziness, few people are able to meticulously follow its principles. This application, in theory, can be a good help, at least within the framework of maintaining a daily routine. You can plan events, as they say, minute by minute, indicating to yourself the recommended duration of the same breakfast or an afternoon walk in the park accompanied by music from headphones. The price is so useful application is 66 rubles.

Hub Family Organizer

Children should be taught to work from a young age, and it would not hurt for the wife and husband to often remember the competent division of labor between adults and young members of the family. Who needs to walk on water, and who needs to get up before dawn today to milk a cow - if we consider a department in the office as an alternative, then the tasks are easily replaced by “refill the printer with toner” and “run for donuts for lunch.” For convenience, each working individual of a social cell has its own color, integration with Outlook, Gmail, iCal, Yahoo, Hotmail is provided, as well as real-time data synchronization. And, in order not to burden the family budget, the application Hub Family Organizer We decided to make it free.

Awesome Calendar

The name of the program, as well as the interface design, are clearly inspired by the product philosophy of Apple itself. But the approach to organizing work is our own, based on three pillars, the Task Sheet, the Diary and the Calendar. To make the entries more informative, they are supplied with pictures or photographs; at the same time, weather forecast data is pulled up. In general, the functionality repeats the best features of the analogues described above.

Pocket Informant

Perhaps one of the most famous organizers for iOS, the calendar in which is only a small fraction of the total functionality. But important, since for a business person it is vital to evaluate the whole picture of the coming day/week and spend their time rationally. The iPad version has its own advantages, and recently Pocket Informant, already rich in useful options, received a major update. Firstly, the TravelAssist package, which brings time zone reference and allows you to adjust your daily routine while traveling. Secondly, support for the iBeacon system - if a colleague on whose gadget the same application is installed is nearby, but out of sight, you will receive a notification and can quickly find each other.

We continue to tell you about the best alternatives for standard iOS applications 7. And today we will talk about the Calendar.

One of the most controversial design changes that came with iOS 7 was the redesign of the Calendar app. It can be called one of the most important applications, because almost everyone uses it. Not everyone likes the standard application. Therefore, we offer you 5 alternatives to the standard calendar.

Fantastical 2 (Review)

One of the most functional and popular calendar applications. Integrates not only with the calendar, but also with Reminders, which allows you to manage not only your events, but also your tasks. Excellent design, high speed, smart mode for entering event information - Fantastical 2 is one of the clear favorites of our selection.

Sunrise Calendar (Review)

Perhaps the best free alternative calendar for iOS. It has many good features: a design in keeping with the spirit of iOS 7, an interesting implementation of the events list in which the application automatically selects icons for upcoming events, support for standard Maps and Google Calendar, and much more. However, it only works with Google Calendar, please note.

Week Agenda

Let's go back to the good old notepad. Week Agenda is just the kind of notebook that turns the pages pleasantly. This allows you to quickly assess your workload for the entire week. Week Agenda doesn't have all the features that Fantastical 2 or Calendars 5 have, but despite this, it may be to the taste of many.

Calendars 5 (Review)

The most serious competitor to Fantastical 2 in terms of functionality is Calendars 5 from the well-known Readdle, creators of Documents, Scanner Pro and a number of other applications. The main feature of this calendar is the ability to enter events by voice. Now there is no need to press buttons - just say a reminder by voice. A huge plus of Calendars 5 is that the application understands Russian.

Any.Do Cal()

A simple and beautiful calendar from the creators of the Any.Do task list. Naturally, the application works great in conjunction with this device. Add to this a sleek design that looks great on iOS and you get great app. Especially recommended for those who actively use Any.Do.

Which calendar app for iOS do you think is the best? What would you add to our list and what would you take away? What application do you use yourself? Are the capabilities of the standard calendar enough for you? Leave your answers in the comments.

Deluxe Moon or Luna Lux in the Russian version, this is the most extensive collection of information about the Earth’s satellite available for iOS. A comprehensive set of information, as well as the capabilities of a full-fledged lunar calendar and horoscope, are combined in this stylish and very beautiful application, which we will consider in this review.

Having launched the application, we are taken to the main screen of Luna Lux, which immediately literally immerses the user in an abundance of various lunar information. Here you can find, in addition to the current date and time, the coordinates of your current location, the countdown to sunrise and sunset, the age of the Moon and the zodiac sign in which it is located at a given time.

A three-dimensional model of the Moon is also available, which can be rotated, observing in real time the growth phases of the Moon by date. There is a calendar in the very center of the screen. With a simple swipe, it changes to the zodiac calendar or compass. The application works great in both portrait and landscape mode. A separate part of the screen is reserved for various relevant lunar information, which changes quite detailed settings the program itself.

On the main screen there are four links leading to other sections of the program. The first of them contains a lunar horoscope, detailed information about the current zodiac sign through which the Moon passes, as well as recommendations for gardeners. The adjacent Deluxe Moon section contains an extensive selection reference information on the Moon in the form of links to third-party resources on the Internet. The selection of information can safely be called exhaustive.

On the other side of the screen there are transitions to the remaining two subsections of the application. They contain an annual calendar of moon phases, sunrise and sunset times, and a schedule of past and future lunar eclipses. The final section of Deluxe Moon contains a detailed calendar of moon phases and zodiac signs, taking into account the length of the day and some other indicators. It can be called a detailed add-on for the main screen of the application.

Visually, Deluxe Moon looks great. The background of the application is animated space, and any user action is accompanied by some effect. While working with the application, unobtrusive background music plays. It is worth noting that running application Deluxe Moon does not allow the device to go into standby mode, so be careful and turn it off manually.

Luna Lux HD Pro or Deluxe Moon can rightfully be called the best lunar application for iOS. From the selection and presentation of information to the visual design of the interface - everything is done perfectly. Almost everyone can find something useful for themselves in the application, because the amount of information is very large. Even gardeners will have at their disposal powerful tool for orienting on the Moon, what can we say about horoscope lovers. True, for all this pleasure you will have to pay 99 rubles, but if you are really interested in the theme of the Moon, then you will not regret the purchase.
