Big Calendar

A calendar for iPhone that shows your event titles in full.

Big Calendar shows the calendars already on your device — iCloud, Google, and anything else synced through iOS — in a clear week grid where long event titles wrap onto multiple lines instead of being cut off, so you can read your weeks at a glance.

Features

• Full, multi-line event titles — long titles wrap onto as many lines as they need instead of ending in “…”, so you see what each event actually is.
• Multi-day events as bars — trips and holidays stretch across the days they cover, and continue onto the next week’s row.
• Choose how many weeks to see — view 1–2 weeks for free, or up to 4 weeks and the whole month with a one-time Pro upgrade (Settings → Layout).
• Quick event details — tap an event to see its details below the calendar, without losing your place.
• Word replacements — shorten long words in event titles (e.g. birthday -> bday, movie -> 🍿, minho kim -> mk) so more fits on screen. Handy in the 3–4 week and month views, where long titles get cut off to keep things readable.
• Pick which calendars show — turn calendars on/off and reorder them so the ones you care about appear first each day.
• Australian holidays by state — if you subscribe to the Australian Holidays calendar, show only the states you care about.

How many lines a title gets

Layout	Top week row	Other rows
1–2 weeks	No limit	No limit
3–4 weeks	No limit	2 lines
Month	2 lines	2 lines

“No limit” still stops a single event from growing taller than its week row.

How events are ordered

Multi-day events always come first — they’re drawn as bars at the top of each day. Your calendar order from Settings → Calendars then applies to the remaining single-day events. So the calendar order isn’t followed 100%: multi-day events take priority over it.

Reminders

Reminders (from the iOS Reminders app) are not shown — Big Calendar displays calendar events only.

Pro

Big Calendar is free to use with a 1–2 week view. A single one-time purchase unlocks the multi-week (3–4 week) and month views, and any future Pro features. No subscriptions.

Using with Google Calendar

Big Calendar shows the calendars already on your iPhone, so add your Google account to iOS first:

1. Settings -> Apps -> Calendar -> Calendar Accounts -> Add Account -> Google, and sign in.
2. Turn on the Calendars toggle.

Then open Big Calendar — your events appear. If the grid is empty, no account has been added yet (step 1).

For timely updates: Google calendars only refresh on a schedule, so if new events are slow to show, set Settings -> Apps -> Calendar -> Calendar Accounts -> Fetch New Data -> Every 15 Minutes.
