Not the upgrade I was hoping for – Horizon 3 - Calendar + Weather Review

I used Horizon for a year before switching to the official Google Calendar app, and I loved it. It had a nice condensed view of your appointments, and the natural language input was convenient and reliable. And my main complaint about it wasn't necessarily their fault - adding and deleting appointments on desktop would be slow to update on the app. This seemed more like a problem with how Apple handled its calendar data than something wrong with Horizon. So after I switched to Google Calendar (which has a condensed view of your appointments, natural language input AND updates appointments immediately), I heard there was an overhaul to Horizon being released soon and I was eager to see what they had come up with. Well, the nice condensed view of your appointments is gone. You end up seeing every empty day in a list like I hate about every other app. The visuals are different, but I wouldn't say they've improved, and those are the biggest change that I could find. It's a little harder to open an appointment now that it takes 2 taps instead of 1. And it still takes forever to update the calendar if you change something on another device, which is still a huge frustration. I don't know if it's an option, but if Horizon had Google login built in instead of pulling data from the iPhone calendar it would probably fix this. The official Google Calendar app has Google login, and it's still the best calendar I've used. But the original Horizon is a close second. I was really hoping for something special here in this update, but after a look around, it's somewhat worse and ad supported now. Sorry guys.
