"The golden age of iPhone calendar apps kicked off a little more than a year ago. \nIn the span of a few months in late 2012 and early 2013, Fantastical, Tempo and Sunrise all launched smart calendar tools that rethought the traditional design and functionality of calendar apps. Apple later appeared to borrow some of this design with the iOS 7 update to the default calendar app. Now, what is arguably the best of these calendar apps is coming to the iPad. \nSee also: The Next Generation of iPhone Productivity Apps is Here\nSunrise, an app developed by two former Foursquare designers, launched for iPad on Thursday with all the perks of the iPhone version and some new options. You can scroll through a list of the day's scheduled events, as you would with the iPhone version, or take advantage of a new weekly and monthly viewing mode, which offers a clearer picture of how much free time you have. The iPhone version has also been updated to offer a three-day work week view.\nBoth versions of the app also make it easy to enter in scheduled items on the go. The app offers a quick pull-down list of generic events \u2014 call, coffee, meeting, etc \u2014 which you can tap to add to the calendar. You can then add a map of the location, select other contacts attending the event and add additional notes.\nSunrise pulls in relevant information from social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, directions from Google Maps and weather reports. The app supports Google and iCloud calendars. \n\nImage: Mashable composite. iStock, franckreporter"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
