Google Calendar comes to iPhone, 'Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath' hits Mac

Two significant apps hit Apple's mobile and desktop operating systems today, as the long-awaited Google Calendar debuted for iPhone and console classic Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath landed on Mac.

Google Calendar for iPhone

On the iPhone Google Calendar carries over many features from its Android counterpart, including suggestions when entering event details, and the ability to spawn new events based on the content of Gmail messages.

The centerpiece of the app is the Schedule view, which organizes events into a single timeline with graphics matched to keywords, locations, and seasons.

Full-day and three-day views are also available; users can jump to a particular day of the month by tapping a drop-down menu at the top of the screen. One feature missing on iOS is a Week view. The app does, however, support Exchange and iCloud calendars in addition to any created with Google.

The app is a free download for iPhones and iPods running iOS 7.0 or later, but no native iPad support exists.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath makes jump to Mac

Originally released for consoles in 2005, and ported to iOS in 2014, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is now available for Macs via the Mac App Store. Players assume the role of Stranger, a bounty hunter in an alien version of the Wild West that finds himself fighting outlaws preying on innocent townspeople.

An unusual addition is cross-platform iCloud integration, allowing people who own the Mac game to resume saved progress on iOS, and vice versa. It also supports Retina displays through to the 5K iMac, and preset gamepad configurations based on consoles like the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 4.

Stranger's Wrath costs $10 and requires OS X 10.8 or better.
