You can share your Schedulista calendar with Apple Calendar or iCloud using the iCalendar (iCal) feed for your account. You can also share your calendar directly with an iPhone or iPad.
What is iCalendar and what is an iCalendar (iCal) feed
iCalendar is a open standard for sharing calendar information between users and software and applications on their devices. iCalendar (iCal) can be shared as an active feed or as a single computer file format.
iCalendar is supported by Apple for Calendar on Mac and various devices, and for iCloud Calendar with shared Apple devices. (Apple previously licensed the iCalendar/iCal name to use for their calendar app/software.)
An iCal feed is read only, sharing information one way. Schedulista appointments are shared with Apple Calendar but not the other way around.
Refresh/Update Rate
The Schedulista iCal feed updates as soon as you make changes to your calendar. Apple Calendar must ask for an update from the iCal feed to refresh or update the Schedulista appointments on Apple. The refresh/frequency rate -- how often it updates -- is controlled by Apple Calendar.
