Saisuke (Calendar Replacement)

[MotionxxUSxx]

What a great app. Just purchased for 9.99 and it was well worth it. Syncs perfectly with google calendar in both directions. You can set it to sync on open and every time you make a edit to your calendar. It even syncs my subscribed calendars. You can set google notification from the app itself, so you can recieve a sms or email from google calendar when your appointment or meeting is due. You can also control when this message is sent. I definitely recommend this PIM app.

I saw that some time back and was dissuaded by the name of the app but it does look rather nice with the recent updates it has received. Why name it Saisuke though? Does that mean something relevant in Japanese or another language? It is just a tough sell for me to replace the default calendar app on my home screen with one named Saisuke, having said that though the icon does look rather nice...

I downloaded the free edition just for a trial, haven't had much of a chance to try it yet but it is annoying how a swipe to change screens is also interpreted as individual touches. I'm very tempted as I have my task management taken care of with Remember the Milk (am currently torn between Appigo's ToDo and RTM's own app), which integrates nicely with Gmail and would love to add Google Calendar into the mix but OTA syncing is a must for that as I simply don't sync my iPhone with my laptop enough to make anything else viable for me.

Seriously, go for it. The ota syncing with google calendar is flawless. I also thought the name of the app is real strange, but it is awesome. The free versions only allows syncing one way and only for a small specified time frame, guess thats why it is free. Purchased the paid version today and it is great.

Yep, I said goodbye to the Calendar app as soon as I bought this and I haven't looked back. Every update just makes it better too. My most used app by far.

Any "calendar" app without alerts for appointments is quite frankly useless. i know the apple sdk doesn't allow for alerts so it's not the dev's fault, and that the push alert system promised by apple is still not a reality, however i really don't understand why anyone would depend on a calendar app where the only way you know you have a meeting or appointment is by opening the app.

I set up a
SMS alerts or email through saisuke to be notified of appts. Works great.

Saisuke was great, it was my most useful app till SmartTime came along. Perhaps if one has a lot of Google calendars to keep track of, then perhaps Saisuke is the better app? Not sure on that.

I just prefer my events and tasks all in one place. SmartTime has Google sync and via google, pop up alerts for events in development now. The only thing I like more about Saisuke is it's month view, and I'll have to wait a few months before month view comes out on SmartTime.

Agree

Yea, Saisuke syncs calendars with Google but it doesn't have a task manager. The other 1,000 task managers on the app store don't have calendars. The only one that has both is SmartTime.
