Organize yourselves for your classes, projects, or company with HiCal, the collaborative calendar! Create or join your class’ or club’s group, and get your shared timetable in your pocket. You can be part of multiple groups. You will receive Push notifications each time that a group’s event is modified, or an event is commented. Event repetition is supported (including “once every two weeks”). HiCal helps you to organize yourself and to collaborate with your friends and colleagues in different situations: - Students and pupils: Add comments to a lesson at a given day, to indicate homework and exams for example, and they will instantly be synced across smartphones and tablets, and shared with your class. You will not ever ask yourself again what is left to do: the answer will be in your pocket, up-to-date, at any moment. Even if only one person indicates the exams to come, everyone will be aware: one for all, and all for one! - Projects: Determine deadlines with your teammates, and discuss them in the comments! Your project is a secret? Then create a secret group, which will be hidden from the group search results. Only the people you add will be able to join the group. - Companies, clubs and organizations: Write down meetings’ or activities’ dates and locations, suggest or edit in real time, and instantly update all your fellows of a schedule change, thanks to push notifications. - Organize public events: Create a group, open to everyone, to let people stay tuned about your upcoming events! In this kind of group, only the group’s administrators can create or edit events. Thus, you can share your events, your live sessions for example if you’re a band, while keeping control. And if something unexpected happens, you can inform group’s members thanks to comments and push notifications! - Education: If you are an educational institution (school, college, university...), you can also use HiCal, by creating a group for each class or course, and inviting your students in them. Simplify your teachers’ and students’ life with HiCal!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HiCal at none against Week Calendar's 16. HiCal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Week Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 23) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Week Calendar sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. HiCal asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HiCal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Week Calendar has 10K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Week Calendar's written reviews are positive against 55% of HiCal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Week Calendar ships an update fortnightly, HiCal every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
