Google Calendar
Google calendar app comes standard with the Android operating system. The mobile app is also compatible with Blackberry and iOS. On an Android device, an appointment updated on the desktop application will also be updated on the mobile device. Reminders may be set with the calendar application to avoid missed appointments.
Multiple calendars may be viewed at once and linked simultaneously. Both Blackberry and iOS require Google Sync to link multiple devices. A significant advantage of Google Sync is that it can synchronize up to 25 different calendars on a single device. Professionals who need to organize their personal lives along with a dynamic work schedule will benefit most from this feature. Furthermore, as professionals become increasingly likely to be taking online school courses along with having a job and busy personal life, there will be an increasing need for apps to be able to sync multiple calendars.
Some users have experienced duplicate calendar entries initially. Various discussion boards offer advice for the specific device. Even with this impediment, this is minor disadvantage compared to the advantages of the mobile apps. Most users find Google calendar to be effective in keeping events organized.

Smooth Calendar has the capability to automatically sync with built-in calendars such as Google Calendar. The interface is intuitive and can be customized to the users’ preferences. The size and color of the widget can be changed. Smooth Calendar is compatible with Android, but it is not yet compatible with iOS or phones without the Android operating system.
