That’s why Sunrise was so great, it was a well-designed and full-feature app that all of their competitors, aside from Apple Calendar, are charging upwards of $40 for. As you will see, my next two recommendations are are a bit pricey. It’s easy to setup, easy to use and, perhaps the most compelling reason to give it a shot… it’s free. It’s free, it’s already on your Mac and if you havn’t opened it in a while you may be surprised that it has improved quite a bit over the years. Yep, the good ‘ole native Apple Calendar. Instead of complaining about how much this sucks, I’m gonna share with you my top 2 replacements to consider. This is bad news for all us Sunrise users, it really is/was the best free desktop and mobile Google Calendar app out there right now. A few months ago, they asked us to join them in making Outlook for iOS and Android the best productivity apps out there. Since we joined Microsoft at the beginning of the year, we’ve been working increasingly closer with the Outlook team and in particular with the Outlook Mobile team. While it’s not going to be pulled from the App Stores, the Sunrise team won’t be updating the standalone apps anymore. It’s official, Microsoft is shutting down the Sunrise calendar app.
