The user interface is free of clutter and full of white space. You can browse through events by scrolling down or tapping on a date at the top. Swipe your trackpad to the left and you'll see a detailed day view with your appointments marked neatly by hour.beautiful designThe addition of a small red arrow icon in the bottom corner allows you to flash straight back to the current date and time with a tap.Neat icons are used by Sunrise Calendar to mark special events such as birthdays, and the app retains label colors for items you've created in Google Calendar. Unfortunately, you can't apply colored labels to new entries created in Sunrise Calendar, so if you use them a lot you might be better sticking with Google Calendar.iconsAnother shortcoming of Sunrise Calendar is that there's no monthly calendar view within the app. This would save a lot of scrolling and make event a bit clearer to see at a glance.no monthly calendar viewA slick alternative to iCalSunrise is a slick and simple-to-use calendar app, which provides a good alternative to iCal on Mac.
