Month Calendar is an amazing and simple way to manage your calendar. You get a brilliant overview at a glance when planning. Use decorations to add color and icons to your events. Month Calendar gives you powerful yet easy ways to browse, organize, edit, and share your calendars. Month Calendar has the overview you would expect from your large wall calendar, not a smartphone screen. SMART BROWSING • In Month Calendar you continuously scroll weeks or even months with a flick of your finger. • You are still able to zoom in (just double tap) and get detailed in-place overview of a week or day. • All accomplished in the same overview. • This makes the calendaring tasks you do much easier to achieve. • You don't need a lot of different views of your calendar to change between.

DAZZLING DECORATIONS • Use color and icons and other decorations to personalize your Month Calendar and get the best overview. • Decorations are matched to the event texts given your search terms. If a match is found the selected color and icon is shown with event. • This way for instance an event for a haircut can be shown as a scissor icon instead of text. • Also you could have your vacation calendar shown as just a vertical line to the right and left for the day, and hide the event completely. • This helps to organize your month overview because it ensures more room for other events. • It makes your Month Calendar visual and compelling, and gets you that convenient overview at a glance. • Decorations are configured once and after this it works with all your events, both new and old.
