Giggity vs ICSx⁵
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Giggity
Giggity loads xcal/Pentabarf/frab XML files (that contain schedules of conferences/festivals/other events) and lets you browse them in various convenient formats. Preseeded with many events including FOSDEM, CCC, FrOSCon, etc. Giggity lets you organise your visit - select talks to be reminded of (with warnings in case of conflicts) or hide the topics you're less interested in. Schedules are shown in whatever format you like - block schedules, plain timetables, or a clear now-and-next screen on the day itself.
ICSx⁵
ICSx⁵ allows you to add/subscribe and manage external (Webcal) and local (i.e. Dropbox, adb push etc) iCalendar/.ics files on your Android device. Add high days and holidays, your sports teams events, time tables of your school/university or any other event files that come in ics/ical format. The app will import these events for you and displays it in your favorite calendar app on your Android – it integrates seamlessly into your device. * Subscribe to Webcal feeds (= synchronize at regular intervals) e.g. shared calendars from icloud.com * Subscribe to local .ics (iCalendar) calendar files * Allows to open webcal:// and webcals:// URLs, e.g. from your Web browser * Seamless integration to other calendar apps * Set a sync schedule * Intelligent update checker to save bandwidth * Authentication and HTTPS supported
