Sunrise App is yet another calendar app for your mobile device or computer. However Sunrise has a number of benefits that make it more than just your average calendar app.
- Pulls in all your calendars to one feed including websites like TripIt, Asana, Trello, Evernote, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Calendars, iCal and Microsoft Exchange.
- Has its own list of interesting calendars such as TV shows, holidays, sports, moon phases and more.
- It makes setting up a meeting with someone and find a common time as easy as sending a single email.
Concerns
It was recently bought by Microsoft. As we know, Microsoft often has less than the Midas touch. Will they let it succeed?
Sample Uses
- Sometimes students and teachers need to set up meeting times. This makes it so much easier!
- Integrate multiple calendars from multiple teacher calendar sites all into one place for students.
Do I Plan to Use It?
I use it everyday and just started using the meeting planner. This is really what motivated me to write and record this.
Commitment and Learning Curve
Low learning curve. Not as easy as pie, but integrating other calendars is not hard at all.
Best for ES MS or HS?
HS and adults will find use in this system. ES and MS are just not there yet and won’t really see the benefits of something like this.
