Comparative Analysis - iCal

[back to Assignment 3]
  • Negatives:
    • A tool more helpful for individual event or meeting planning
    • Each event can only have small amount of description information
    • The calendar is all standard block style; there is no list view
    • It has Month, day, week view, but the week view doesn't tell you what month it is
    • It also has a smaller month calendar which you can use to look at other months without having to change you main view, but it's also confusing because it's not a navigational tool as one might expect
    • Adding an event seems easy at first; just double click. However, the process is not super intuitive, as after you click on the event, a side panel with the event info pops up - you just click on stuff to change it, but none of it looks changeable at first glance.
  • Positives
    • Can publish your calendar to share it as well as subscribe to other calendars
