3 Windows Phone Calendar Apps

Posted on May 21, 2013January 3, 2019 by ben

Since the days of the Palm Pilot, we have used our mobile devices for productivity and specifically for keeping our calendars.  Today we have many options in Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows Phone calendar apps. There is no reason to settle for one…why not try them all and see which one you like best.

Today I’m looking at 3 Windows Phone Calendar Apps for you to try out.  They each have their strong and weak points to consider.

1. Calendar Pro

Calendar Pro is a Windows Phone Calendar app that features daily, weekly, and monthly views.  It also gives you the ability to pin appointments to the start screen.  Also has search and filter based grouping.

Features

  • Tap in month view to see appointments details below
  • Filter based Groups and Quick search with auto complete
  • Tap+Hold Reply/ReplyAll or forward an appointment from any screen.
  • Ease of use

  • Display week numbers on the calendar
  • Display Windows Live events by day tap

3. Week View 8

Week View 8 is a customized version of Week View for Windows Phone 8 and features a large live tile that shows the next 4 upcoming appointments.  Another nice feature is speech recognition.

Features

  • The appointments of the current week
  • Multiple, configurable Live Tiles
  • A detailed view of the events of a day
  • A month view with readable appointments
  • An annual overview
  • Native support for the HD resolution of your Windows Phone 8
  • Creating appointments is possible directly in Week View 8 in all your windows phone calendars

Of the three Windows Phone calendar apps here I have to say that I prefer Week View 8.  It appears to be a more complete app and more suitable for business use.

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
