I found the calendar app which came with iOS 9 a bit unintuitive to use and the GUI is not so cute nor colorful. Is there a better calendar app that is better than the stock one?
Got a tip for us?

"Best" is incredibly subjective.
I've been using Fantastical since it came out. Now Fantastical 2 is even better. IMO, it's the best. But, because it's subjective, YMMV.
If it's basically an iCloud calendar, then most of those apps support iCloud calendars (along with various other ones like Google Calendar, etc.).
My favorite is definitely Informant. It syncs with everything and has all the options anyone would want.
There's an iPad version of Fantastical 2... and you can also run the iPhone version in 2x mode.
For me Week Calendar (WeekCal BV). Very nice interface, has a lot of functionality and has many views. Also very customizable.
But as has been said, this is subjective

Some ideas from another similar thread from not too long ago: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/which-is-the-best-calendar-app-for-iphone-6s.1948973/
I use Fantastical and the stock calendar interchangeably. I've also purchased it for my Mac computers. But realistically, I could get away with only the stock app if I had to. Calendars 5, which I also own, is a good runner up.
Can you run Fantastical iPhone app on iPad?
It's a good app, but $15 for both versions is a lot for a calendar app and the Mac version is ~$40, that's ujust too much.

How? You just sync iPhone app to iPad? In iTunes when I connect iPhone, it doesn't even show iPad apps to sync.. haven't tried it the other way. and does it work for any other app?
Just download it from the App Store on your iPad. To go App Store > Purchased (tab) > Not On This iPad (tab) and change the selection from iPad Apps to iPhone Apps. Scroll down to find it, install it and Bob's your uncle.
Or use something like Informant, which has a universal binary. Optimized for both iPhone and iPad.
Can you do t he other way around - install iPad app on iPhone? ... there are some nice sketching, painting and musical instrument apps only on iPad.
