Hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive YouTube channel on today's feature guys
we are looking at calendars 5 which is an iOS application that you can use for managing calendar events and
Tasks, so we're gonna be diving into it today. So let's jump
So guys naturally I have the iOS version in front of me and want to give you a bit of a tour of it today
Some of the things I'll mention is I'm going to break this into two parts
We're gonna do a quick review of some of the brand new features which are a minor sort of navigational features
and a few sort of
additions that I know a lot of calendars fine people will love and then I'm gonna dive into the resource as a whole because I
Know a lot of people considering calendar applications like this
so we're gonna be diving in and
talking about nap now at the end just before we dive in a big THANK YOU to missive for sponsoring this
month here on the key productive YouTube channel missive is team collaboration tool included inscription as long with along with my review and
Also, I will talk about it a little later in this video
So guys here we are with calendars 5 this had an iOS update. I believe the other day
So if you're looking for it, you probably have to go to the App Store, press the Update button and everything will go change
So the first thing you'll notice is it now has a fixed bar at the top
so instead of before having to tap something and then go up to the the actual views option of
Tasks list day in week months you can now just have it all fixed, which is great
So if you want to switch between the day view and the week view, it's perfect
so if I want to go ahead and down to entry I just have to drag my thumb down and I can use the
Language input to add anything. So for example, like, you know, hello to know Henchy film YouTube video and you
Can see that it obviously adds that there and of course cuz I've added a date. I'll go ahead and save it
It'll be added to my calendar
So nothing's changed in terms of design of the day view
But you can switch between stuff really easily now and that's one of the great things
Of course, you still have the tasks area, which is a good experience
But on this left hand side
You have a new navigation area which allows you to switch between your different calendars which some of them off-switch some of them on
Which is so much easier in the last time you can go ahead and edit them at the bottom
So for example, if I wanted to edit the calendars I had or add an additional one
I can easily do so
Now a new area at the top is called search you can now go ahead and search a specific keyword
so for example
If I search I mean like haircut, I'll you see all of the last haircuts that I've had over the last couple of months
so it's quite a useful way in being able to search for pieces that you've added meetings that you've got coming up and
Even family events that you want to plan. So all of these are needs new additions the ability to see the new pinned
The actual ability to change of views faster the new navigation on the left hand side
Combined with the search makes it so much easier to be able to manage calendars five
So let's dive into calendars five as a whole. So this is calendars five in front of me. It's available on iOS
It's not available on web or it's not available and Android neither it is available on Mac
but it makes a really strong calendar experience and the reasons why is because it's got a really
robust experience
This is created by reader
Which is a company that develops spark really strong PDF application
And so much more and they're a great company for that so you can see here that you've got task
list day week and month view and people love having the all of these options and
What I particularly like is the day view as well as the scheduled agenda view
It seems to work really well
If you already have tasks associated for example to your Google Tasks, and you've connected up with your Google Calendar
Then they will be imported automatically and the great thing is if I go to tasks I can actually see them in there too. So
For example if I want to have a little task manager in there
Although I don't recommend it if you wanted to you could have a little task or to-do list application in there
You can even go ahead and create new lists, but it will link up with your Google Tasks
Which is a good experience now
One of my favorite features is ability to as I showed you a moment ago be able to push on
the day view and actually set a
Short meeting or anything and that's quite useful
but the one of the things that I know a lot of people love is going to a top right hand corner and be able
To use the natural language into it. So for example say plan my day tomorrow at
For example 3 p.m. It will automatically detect all that stuff throw it in and then I can add all of the relevant stuff
I can have location whether it's a repeat any notes as well
And as you can see here
It's gone straight in what I love as well is when you tap it it doesn't bring up a whole page
You've got this lovely
Preview window and if I wanted to go ahead and delete it I could do that from not even moving out of that page
So it's a lovely almost desktop-like experience
So a couple of other things that I really love about this application is that you can scroll between the weeks at the bottom
If I want to go far ahead I can easily do that with a quick swipe and it's a great addition to that
Now one of the things I'd say is it's perfect for iOS users
Those who use Google Calendar, but you're really going to struggle if you want to access it on other devices at the moment
I currently use an application called time page which in my opinion has gotten so much better
And as you can see here, it's got a bunch of gestures
I can pop in to the day views and I could go into all of my
Layouts and what I quite like has been enough to actually add stuff. I'm gonna do a full feature on time page
I've done a review of it, but I'll do an updated feature soon
So guys calendars 5 is great for if you want a reliable Google Tasks Google Calendar
application for iOS that has a robust list viewing option and is reliable
I highly recommend this application if you're looking for that, but before we go guys I wanted to mention missive missive is March
