In the summer of 2010, I started using Google Calendar but there were no good iPad clients. So I went ahead and created Cloud Calendar. One of the more time-consuming aspects was the creation of my own Google Calendar Objective-C SDK.
In addition, working on a calendar exposed me to the complexities of handling time correctly. Programmers that have never dealt with time in some depth tend to make several invalid assumptions (including myself until I stumbled upon some edge cases). For example, a calendar day is not always 24hrs — it can also be 23 or 25 hrs (on DST switchover days).
I am the sole developer of the app and the graphics were designed by Christopher Downer.
The interface is fairly standard, with a mode selector at the top and a day picker at the bottom.
