SimpleCal vs HorseShowPrep

SimpleCal is the easiest calendar app on the App Store. Sync your schedule across platforms and devices through iCloud or Google calendar. - Sync All the events on your current calendar are transferable from another calendars via iCloud or Google calendar. (The connection uses the calendar account registered in the Settings app) - Widget Your recent events can be displayed on a widget to grasp what to do quickly. - Weather The weather forecast for the specified area is displayed on the calendar(up to one week ahead) - Reminders You won't miss your important events via SimpleCal's reminder. The reminders can be repeated daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. - Customizable interface Each event and calendar can have different colors, which makes you easily recognize your schedule. The color theme is also customizable. You can find your favorite theme for sure. - Simple design You can add or edit an event only with a few steps. Do you have some routine in your life? Then, try SimpleCal! You can create a new event just by dragging a past event. - Dark Mode Supports dark mode. - Data Backup Saves event data to an external server such as iCloud Calendar or Google Calendar. (The app does not have its own calendar and does not save to the device's local area.) In the unlikely event that your iPhone is damaged, you can simply log in to your original calendar account to load your previous event data.

You know your ride time. Everything else follows from it — and that is exactly what HorseShowPrep works out for you. Enter the time you enter the arena. The app counts backwards: when the trailer has to roll, when to load, tack up, groom and feed. What comes out is the one number that matters on the morning of a show — your departure time. YOUR ROUTINE, NOT OURS The dressage show day template that ships with the app is a suggestion, not a rule. Change durations, remove tasks, add your own. That is why the app is worth more at your second show than at your first. Editing a template only affects new shows — a show coming up on Saturday never shifts underneath you. TRAVEL TIME YOU CAN TRUST The app gets the driving time from your yard to the venue via Apple Maps and shows you the route on a map, plus a buffer for the trailer — it is slower than a car. You can override any number yourself, and everything keeps working without a signal. CHANGE ONE THING, EVERYTHING FOLLOWS Start lists get reshuffled, classes run late. Change the start time and the whole plan moves with it — timeline, reminders and, if you want, the calendar entry. ONE CALENDAR ENTRY, NOT TWENTY-FIVE If you like, the app adds your show to your calendar as a single entry: from departure until you are back, with the schedule in the notes. No cluttered calendar. Individual tasks can be added as well if that is what you want. NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD No login, no sign-up, no server. Your data stays on your iPhone. No tracking, no ads. The app never asks for your location, and it may only write to your calendar — never read it. WHO IT IS FOR Riders competing in dressage and show jumping who travel with a trailer and would rather not leave the morning of a show to chance.
