Never miss a school event, practice, or game again β€” no more manual calendar updates for each family member! If your family juggles multiple sports schedules from apps like TeamSnap, SportsEngine, or LeagueApps, you know the frustration: β€’ Every season, every team, every family member has to manually add ICS links to their calendar. β€’ It’s slow, clunky, manual, and… it usually never gets done. GamePlan solves that. How it works: 1. Grab the ICS link for your team’s schedule from their website or sports app. 2. Paste it into GamePlan and choose the shared iCloud calendar you want to keep in sync. 3. Done!

Why you’ll love it: β€’ Hands-off syncing β€” updates appear without you reopening the app. β€’ Works with any ICS feed β€” sports, school, work, community, or personal. β€’ Organized by calendar β€” keep events sorted into the right shared iCloud calendar. β€’ One setup for everyone β€” no more duplicate work for each family member. β€’ Live updates β€” changes and cancellations show up automatically for the entire family. Perfect for: β€’ Families with kids in multiple sports. β€’ Busy parents tired of chasing team schedules. β€’ Anyone who wants their sports events to appear in their existing iCloud calendar. Stop copy-pasting ICS links. Start letting GamePlan handle it for you. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

ICS Toolkit

Features
Read full description

ICS Toolkit brings your events and calendars together on iPhone and iPad. Create and edit ICS files with dates, time zones, repeating rules, reminders, locations, notes and links. Add meeting organizers, attendees, photos and files. Review compatibility and the raw ICS before saving, sharing or adding supported details to Calendar. Import calendars with event selection, possible-duplicate checks, per-event results, retry and undo for unchanged imported events. Export one or more device calendars as separate or combined files, with all dates, the next 12 months or a custom date range. Save named drafts and reuse templates. Create ICS files and export calendars with Shortcuts. Server Mode connects compatible CalDAV clients, including Calendar on your Mac, to selected device calendars over a trusted local network. Keep the app open in the foreground; the server stops in the background. Digest authentication protects the password, while HTTP calendar traffic is not encrypted. Calendar export only includes events synced to this device. Calendar does not expose attachments or all deleted repeat exceptions; deleted occurrences may reappear after import. Share ICS files to preserve attendees and attachments that direct Calendar writes cannot include. Available in English, German, Polish, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French and Japanese.
