To start the new year right the two popular calendar apps miCal for the iPhone and miCal HD for the iPad will be reduced drastically in price. Till January 16th they are being offered at only $0.99, instead of $1.99 and $2.99. The reason? miCal HD is celebrating its first anniversary.

At the beginning of a new year old calendars are being replaced with a current model. In the digital world it may be beneficial to change to the modern calendar offered by miCal. It provides many important functions that are still missing in the pre-installed iOS. miCal is the version to use for the iPhone and iPod touch and for the iPad there is miCal HD.

Both versions of miCal may be synchronized smoothly with already existing calendars such as Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar, Exchange or Facebook Events. New appointments are easily added while on the go. All entries can be provided with a from-to-time and a description. Reminders may be presented repeatedly and even an alarm can be set. Appointments are displayed in five different layouts – plus three layouts in the landscape mode. A clearly arranged list as well as a daily and yearly overview are available to the user.

A very special feature is the dashboard. With a quick glance someone will be able to obtain information regarding upcoming appointments, birthdays and even the weather forecast for the next couple of days. The dashboard also displays the date, time and day of the week.

The module “task management” may be optionally upgraded through in-app purchase ($0.99). It lets the user set up appointment related tasks and record a description as well as a deadline and priority. Anything that has been completed can be checked off the list. Task management is able to keep a variety of lists for either private or business use.
