LOVE Business Calendar for one simple reason - the ability to create an event with the "share via" menu.
I'm CONSTANTLY amazed at how many calendar apps don't appear in the "share via" menu when trying to create an event/pass info from another app. Google Calendar doesn't even appear - to date I've only ever found… Read more
