Best electronic diary

[Lostand44]

I’m looking for something that I can ideally use across different devices (iPad, laptop and possibly phone). I need to be able to input important dates (bonus if I can highlight/ use different colours for different things) and add to do list - weekly?

It needs to easy to use as I’m an A5 paper diary type but it means carrying around everywhere then getting it out when I need to write something in it. It would be a lot easier to be able to add to diary as I’m working.

Can anyone recommend anything that may be suitable please?

What type of phone and laptop are you using?

I need it to be compatible with an iPhone and hp laptop.

We use google and have personal and family calendars and can add football fixtures too from club websites. It works within the iPhone calendar too.

As you're using two iOS products already, I would suggest using the Apple Calendar application, as it's included and will sync via iCloud. As it's the native application it integrates well with other applications, and can be used with Siri "make appointment 9:00 tomorrow", "what is in my diary today?" etc.

For the Windows PC you can either sync it with outlook (see how), or just access the calendar via your web browser at iCloud.com.

You can also share your calendar, or create a separate one and share that i.e. "Family". My wife and I share each others, and have a family one to share with the wider family.
