Calendar

What is a Calendar?

A calendar is an app feature that organizes dates, events, appointments, schedules, or other time-based information. In a mobile app, a calendar can help users view upcoming events, select dates for bookings, manage appointments, or access scheduled content.

Why it matters

Calendar functionality is useful for mobile apps that involve bookings, appointments, events, classes, meetings, or other activities connected to specific dates and times. When combined with a booking system, it can allow users to view available dates and select a suitable time directly in the application.

Example

A service business adds a calendar to its mobile app so customers can view available dates and choose when they want to book an appointment.
