Uniqlo Calendar iPad app




A follow-up to the Uniqlock, the Uniqlo Calendar iPad app (released on June 24th) retains much of the same quirkiness, and generous use of sound. While the imagery on the Uniqlock site may at times strike one as odd, the "movies" in the calendar are simply eye-catching and gorgeous with stunning color. The music is also an integral part of the experience, but there is an option to turn the sound off.








The default setting for the weather and time is Shibuya, Japan, but it was simple to change this to New York City. For iPad 3G there is GPS function to determine your location. There is also functionality to link to iCal and Google Calendar, though this seems to have a few kinks to still work out. It might be little more than a novelty app with pretty moving pictures, but when it's free who cares?



"The Uniqlo Calendar for iPad is a globally supported calendar that UNIQLO composed of images of the beauty of Japan's four seasons which capture the seasons from a unique perspective, as well as music. The calendar captures the Japanese culture and lifestyles hidden away in everyday life through an original perspective by photographing the images in a miniature style. The music is handled by FPM, which is well known from the UNIQLOCK. It employs an original sound achieved by inviting representative Japanese musicians each time around to cover famous songs from around the world." —descriptive text via the App Store

The Uniqlo Calendar was previously available as a web app and for the iPhone and iPod Touch
(link for iPhone download).
