Almost any calendar application works

Almost all applications work fine. In order to use WebCal.fi calendars, your calendar application must

  • support iCalendar (.ics) files
  • download them automatically

If you don't know if your app/device is supported just try to subscribe and see if it works.

The list below contains only applications which have been tested to work or not to work. There are lots of calendar applications outside the list which work just fine.

If you use an application not on the list, please send feedback to aapo.puskala@webcal.fi on whether or not it works with WebCal.
