Earlier this month Zoho Calendar stepped out of Beta adding several new features including Calendar subscription. This means you can now view your calendar events in native clients. 

We received several requests for viewing calendar events on iPhone. Zoho Calendar can be accessed through your mobile browser @ http://mobile.zoho.com (or m.zoho.com). But if you want to view your events on the native Calendar application, follow these instructions.

First, you need to enable Remote URL for the Calendar you want to access on you mobile device. To do this, go to your Calendar Settings > My Calendar, choose the Details option of the Calendar you want to view. Choose the ‘Sharing’ tab and check the option ’Enable private address for this calendar’.


Zoho Calendar Steps Out of Beta

At Zoho, we have several applications that need/have calendaring functionality. Some of these apps include Zoho Mail, CRM, Projects, Planner, Meeting etc. To consolidate all calendars, we launched Zoho Calendar in beta last year. The goal for this separate application was two fold. One, it has to be one of the best calendar applications in the market and Two, it has to integrate/replace other calendars apps within the Zoho suite.

Today, Zoho Calendar is stepping out of beta and we believe it is mature enough to be considered one of the best Calendaring apps in the market. Zoho Calendar’s latest update comes with an extensive set of features for business use. 



Let’s look at some of these new features.
