YearView is as simple as its name: A pocket year-at-a-glance calendar with no settings and no way to quickly scroll through the years. It does magnify using the pinch function, and you can view it in landscape mode, but that’s it. I might not deleted this app if I could use a scroll wheel to view other years, but progressing one year at a time? Really?!
I’d just as soon use Date Calc Free instead. It has more than one function (always a plus in my book), and does provide a scroll wheel for quickly jumping to a date 50 years in the past. Plus, Date Calc Free also tells you how many days and how many business days are between any two days. How long until your birthday? How many days until Christmas? How many business days between now and your project’s due date? Date Calc quickly figures all these things for you, and the controls are easy to figure out.
If you don’t like one-purpose apps, don’t get this YearView.
YearView: Thumbs down.
Date Calc Free: Thumbs up!
