Horizon 3 – Calendar + Weather iPhone App Review
Horizon 3 – Calendar + Weather, as the title suggests, bundles your schedules with weather forecast into one application. With Horizon 3, you won’t be unprepared for bad weather conditions on an important event ever again. You can get Horizon 3 for free from iTunes App Store.
Features
Horizon 3 – Calendar + Weather app for iPhone has a decent and minimalistic design that falls in line with the present iOS aesthetics. When you fire up the app, you’ll have your schedule laid out neatly in front of you, with a heavy emphasis on today and the days ahead. Events are color-coded and laid out in an agenda list format, with a header bar that clearly tells you what your next appointment is. You can find the month at the bottom of the screen. Tapping on it brings up the month view. The app also has full support for event invitations. Typical of calendar apps, Horizon 3 also fetches data from the calendars that you’d already set up in iOS. You just got to give it permission to access other calendars. In the app, all events are listed in chronological order in an agenda list, with start and end times given to the left, and weather conditions on the right.
Horizon 3 for iPhone displays the overall temperatures for the day – high and low – as well as the temperature and condition that will happen during your individual meetings. This gives you a fair idea about how the weather will be like, and allows you to plan accordingly. While you can scroll down to view your schedule, if you have a specific date in mind that you want to quickly see, bring up the month calendar and click on the specific date and that day will jump to the top of the list. A simple tap on the iOS bar will take you back to today. Horizon 3 – Calendar + Weather app has a robust search feature with its own Smart Search engine with natural language input. It allows you to query the app like ‘next doctor appointment’ or ‘available for dinner’ and find the corresponding entries in the scheduler. Adding a new event is pretty straightforward. The app will automatically add the weather details at the event location. The text you enter is color coded: green for location and blue for time. Horizon 3 requires iOS 8.0 or later.
Conclusion
Horizon 3 – Calendar + Weather app for iPhone provides an entirely new way to plan, and enjoy your calendar. The interface of Horizon 3 is user friendly. Setting up your schedules and events is also easy. Since it is a free app, it is ad-supported. But the ads are not overtly intrusive. You can get rid of the ads, and avail more features such as weather change notifications, driving times display through an IAP for $4.99. Overall, a calendar app that comes handy in your day-to-day scheduling, and it takes care of the weather factor as well. Check it out if you’re looking for one for your iPhone.
