Allcal – Social Planning iPhone App Review
You can find lots of calendar app is iTunes. But the one we’re reviewing here – Allcal – Social Planning app for iPhone – is not just another standard calendar app. Called social planning app, it allows you to set up calendars to share with others. Allcal iPhone app can be downloaded for free from iTunes App Store.
Features
Allcal – Social Planning app for iPhone let you create public and private calendars. The public calendars are the one where you can invite others to. Those who have been invited will then get updates for the events included on them. They’re also updated on changes made in the calendar. You can use pictures, chat messages, and real-time updates to keep your group informed and engaged. The calendar’s attendance feature uses your GPS to automatically show when you and friends arrived at the event. The main USP of Allcal for iPhone is that you get to choose from a variety of public calendars. Each calendar features an event chat box at the bottom of the screen, where you can chat about the events with others involved.
Setting up calendars is easy. But formatting options are sadly limited. You have options to add cover images or change event colors. However, you have no option whatsoever to customize the calendar template color or font. You got a search feature at the top to selectively search for events. Again, to our dismay, there aren’t any backward/forward buttons to navigate through the calendars. But you can do that by swiping across the screen. Otherwise, the UI layout and design are decent. It is very easy to use the app. First time users, if required, can refer to the user guide given on its website. Allcal app requires iOS versions 8.0 or higher.
Conclusion
Allcal app for iPhone takes social planning to a new level altogether. Using the app, you can create an interactive, real-time schedule that can be shared with anyone. Just like social media updates, our social planning tool sends notifications for new events, chat messages, and last-minute changes. The search feature comes handy to quickly search scheduled events. Only apparent downside is the relative lack of formatting options. Otherwise, the app is well designed and easy to use. It has no in-app purchase requirements either. Overall, a calendar (social planning) app that provides a new way to make plans, share schedules and organize your life quickly and easily. Check it out if you find this concept interesting.
