Tempo

A smarter calender

The Tempo calender app attempts to improve on the default calender program for the iPhone - and largely suceeds - by pulling information from multiple accounts, adding relevant information from multiple accounts, ading relevant information such as meeting locations from email accounts and letting users text or call contacts from within the app. Having all of that information centalized in one location is incredibly usefl, and the app is designed to pull in email attachments from your accounts to make items like meeting agendas or presentation materials easy to reach from your calender.

It remains, however a work in progress. Users can't, for example, add the names of attendees to events - one of many features developers promise are coming soon. Also, something the app does things like pull the wrong similarly named contact from your phone book into your calender. Still, the app gets better the more you use it and is an elegant alternative to Apple's baked-in offering. Free, for iOS devices.
