This is a great looking app for breaking the mold of calendar design by turning it into a truly visual collection of all your appointments. Although this doesn't currently sync with your built in or cloud-based calendars, it's an interesting approach to the calendar and I'd love to see where it leads.
I think the advent of digital technology led to designers using metaphors familiar to everyone from the offline world. Sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't. The calendar metaphor is one that has maintained it's design integrity through the years and many digital calendars look and act very much like offline calendars and planners.
Is calendar design in the digital space taken for granted? Many digital calendars use the same type of interface and vary their utility with added features and information syncing capabilities. But, is there a better way to manage our calendar lives? I think this app has some great thought behind it, even if it never catches on.
