Sunrise calendar app makes scheduling easier

Having pertinent information on hand is always useful. That’s why the latest update for Microsoft’s Sunrise calendar app is quite handy. The app has a new Meet feature that adds a tab to your keyboard. This button gives you quick access to your schedule and when you’ll be available for something. You don’t just get to see your availability; it also comes with options you can send to your contact about your next free time.

Once you decide what works, Sunrise will even schedule the event for you. And yes, it’ll even work for people who don’t use the app. The update is available for both iOS and Android versions of Sunrise.

Waze for Android and iOS gets calendar integration

Google’s “social GPS” app Waze has received an update to support for navigation to destinations indicated in calendar entries. The app will only show two events at a time though so you wouldn’t feel overwhelmed.

If you prefer not to activate the feature, you can disable it on your Android device from the app’s settings menu or from the phone settings on your iOS device. There is no word yet on when it’s coming to Windows Phone, though.

Record the good times with visual journal app LifeCrumbs

Indulge your inner Pollyanna or just put things in perspective with new journaling app, LifeCrumbs. The Tomofun-made iOS and Android app turns your good and meaningful memories into a visual calendar. The official account uploads daily inspirational quotes and photos to help create a positive, upbeat online community. According to Taipei-based Victor Chang, the idea came to him after spending the summer of 2012 in the Philippines volunteering for a homebuilding initiative.  

“I met a five-year-old girl who had just lost her dad in a typhoon. When I gave her a cookie, she took that cookie, ran back to her family and split it six ways with them. Then she ran back to me, split it in half again, smiled and said thank you,” said Chang. “That changed my life because it made me realize you don't need a lot in life to be happy. That notion was so inspiring that I wanted to share it with other people.”
