Calendar app Sunrise released a major update today, completing two missing pieces of the complicated calendar puzzle — you can now use Sunrise on your iPad with a new design tailored for bigger screens, and there is a much-requested week view to get a better picture of what your schedule looks like. Finally, the company added background updates so that your calendar is always up to date when you open the app. “We realized that mobile is an even bigger paradigm shift than we originally thought,” co-founder and CEO Pierre Valade told me. “Every other day, I don’t even use a computer anymore — I consider the iPad as a mobile device. People want to feel productive anywhere, and work from their iPad. So that’s why we built Sunrise for the iPad.” The iPad app is what you would expect if you are an existing Sunrise user. You get a bigger perspective on your calendar with a more detailed month view — you can actually see your events from the month view. Events work exactly the same way, with information pulled from Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms. The infinite feed is slightly deemphasized with the full screen month view, but there is now this new week view. In fact, the week view makes more sense on the iPad than on the iPhone. Most of the time, when you open your calendar, you want the answer to a simple question — what’s next? That’s why Sunrise’s feed has always been one of its key features — you open the app and you get a scrollable list of all your next events. But sometimes, you want to schedule a call or a meeting and you need to see more easily when you are available. That’s where the week view kicks in. If you have a busy schedule with only a few empty zones, or want to see how your week looks at-a-glance, just press the new week view button at the top, and the screen will switch to a very readable week calendar. Like the month grid, it relies a lot on scrolling, not on tiny text. Sunrise remains clean yet easy to understand. With a finger swipe, you can move around your day feed, week view or month grid. The overall design is very fluid. When it comes to calendar apps, most of the time you have to fight with your

Sunrise Adds iPad App And Week View In Its Quest To Build The Best Calendar Platform
