The Sunrise Calendar 2.0 will change the way we remember dates, appointments, birthdays and social gatherings.
It works by connecting to Google, iCloud, Facebook, LinkedIn and your Foursquare accounts. Sunrise integrates your appointments, birthdays and more.
The device, once downloaded onto your iPad, will require you to connect your cloud accounts. This way it can integrate all your information and remind you of everything you need to know later on.
If it recognizes that your days have been very busy, the ‘week view’ will let you know when you can fit in some free time. Tapping on any given day will open up a pop-up tab where you can see all of your daily plans as well as the ability to add any plans.
Be more social and never forget about any appointments with the Sunrise Calendar 2.0 App available on iTunes now.
