The Grid app review

The Grid

Price: Free

The Grid by Birdsoft LLC is an innovative calendar app for your iOS device.

It’s easy to use, beautiful to look at, and when you download it, you’ll spend less time checking and changing your schedule compared to other calendar apps.

The app imports all the events off your default calendar and shows text directly on the face of the calendar so you know when you have stuff planned. This means you don’t have to tap into each day to see what you have going on.

Editing and adding events is super easy; to edit an existing event, tap on the date, then tap on the event, then you can edit or delete it using the toolbar options.

If you have multiple calendars, you can look at individual calendars with one tap. If you need to reschedule an event, there’s no need to re-enter the info after deleting the current event; just drag and drop it to where you want it.

The template option allows you to create frequently-used events. Other features include the advanced 

repeating event options, the ability to share via text, email, tweet, or Facebook, and more.

The Grid was updated to Version 1.1 on March 6, 2013. The update added three font sizes, changed the icon, introduced landscape view for iPad, and more. The app has a total of 109 customer ratings with an average of 4.5 out of five stars.

I really like this app. I’m constantly searching for an efficient, easy-to-use, nice-to-look-at calendar because I use one all the time, and have several different calendars: mine, my husband’s, and my daughter’s. I also have a work calendar that I keep separate from social events. All in all, this is a great app that I’ll probably keep.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
