Top 12 Calendar apps for Android & iOS device
Business Calendar 2 (Android)
Another popular app that you can try for free is Business Calendar 2. It may not have a design as SolCalendar (at least in my opinion), but it does have everything you are going to need to get your life organized.
If you tap on the hamburger icon on the top left-hand corner, you will gain access to all the options this calendar has to offer. You can see your appointments in different kinds of views. For example, you can choose between Year, Month, Week, or day.

Don’t forget to use its customizable notifications with directions, snooze reminder, show a map and write Email to attendees.

Google Calendar (Web, Android, iOS)
I couldn’t leave out one of the best calendars out there, even if it is from Google. Google Calendar has you covered if you want to get your things in order. I like that Google Calendar separates each month with an image according to that month. For example, if it’s November, it will show you a picture remembering Thanksgiving and if it’s the month when Summer start, it will show you people poolside.
By tapping on the hamburger icon, you can either see your plans in Today, 3-day, week or month view. You can also add goals, reminders and obviously events. Don’t forget that the goals feature is very useful if you want to find time to do certain things, but can’t seem to locate the time.
Google calendar will see what you have planned and will locate the time for you. For your events, you can add essential information such as if it’s an all day thing, location, reminder, invite people, colors, add a note and even add a Drive document.

Sorting through all these calendars is a real chore. All I want is something fairly simple. I have two jobs and personal events, so it needs color coding. I need event reminders. I am contract labor, so I need two week view. Month is OK, but week is pretty much worthless. Why? As the week goes on I am making apointments for NEXT week while meeting appointments for this week. I get very few appointments for two weeks out. So just this week and next week. I need it free. Here’s what I need:
