Hi, I agree with Keith on this one. I have purchased the app and am happy with my purchase. It's not an app you absolutely need, as the inbuilt calendar is fully accessible. However, the efficiency that this app provides is well worth it in my opinion. If you rely on the calendar a lot, as I do for work then this app is probably worth it. It's much faster to enter appointments and to get your weekly overview. The less time I spend fiddling with the phone, the more time I have to do what I am actually being paid for. :-)
