9 Alternatives To The Sunrise Calendar App That Don't Suck
Get your life under control.

Sunrise, the best calendar app ever made, is sunsetting on August 31.
:cryingforever:
The app is being killed as a part of an acqui-hire by Microsoft, and folded into Outlook for mobile, which sounds like a deathbed but is actually my favorite email client for iOS. Here are some alternatives that aren't as good, but will be just fine until the next Sunrise comes along.

If you're a Sunrise purist, just download Outlook (free, iOS and Android).
The Good 🔥 – Outlook is an email, calendar, and cloud storage app in one. You can easily manage multiple accounts, which makes it great for merging your personal and work lives.
Best of all, Outlook's calendar already incorporates a lot of Sunrise features. The daily agenda and 3-day view look nearly identical. Email in the app is surprisingly good, too. Outlook sorts messages into two inboxes: Focused (for important stuff) and Other (for everything else).
The Bad 👎 – Because Outlook's email and calendar views are side-by-side, you might get caught in an email vortex when all you want to do is look up where you're supposed to be right now.
Also, activities on Outlook for mobile can't be synced with the Outlook web app, so you're shackled to your phone. Currently, there are no plans to revamp the web app or integrate the Sunrise experience. However, you *can* open the Outlook app and go to Settings > Help & Feedback > Suggest A Feature to give the team a lil' nudge in the right direction.
