Structured review

Structured is not a classic calendar but a visual day planner, and it earns a place here because many iPhone users looking past Apple Calendar really want help planning the day. The app places tasks, events and routines on one timeline, so you can see how the hours fill up and drag blocks around. The free version includes the drag-and-drop timeline, an inbox for quick capture, sub-tasks with notes, a Pomodoro timer, Live Activities, widgets and sync across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Accessibility options include VoiceOver, Voice Control and a dyslexia-friendly font. The important catch for calendar shoppers is that connecting your existing calendars and Reminders is a Structured Pro feature, along with recurring tasks, AI day planning and Replan, which moves missed tasks. Pro is offered monthly, yearly or as a lifetime purchase, but the US App Store listing shows many different Pro prices, so we left the price as pending. The listing cites 1.5 million active users.
