The family calendar on the fridge is a fixture in many households. When does Bobby need to be collected from piano lessons? And when is Mom coming back from her business trip? Because of their convenience, such calendars have become enormously popular.

Two years ago, akquinet had the idea to create a family calendar for tablets. Our application Ohana: The Family Calendar for the iPad has been available in the App Store since December.

We are continually working to improve the app. By now, you can personalize it with themes and custom photos, print the calendar out, and synchronize appointments with external calendars such as Google, iCloud and Exchange.

We are going to publish further blog posts based on this application, which will provide detailed information about several iOS related technical challenges.
