FedEX Schedule to ICAL

Does anyone know how to get your monthly schedule onto ICAL or what to copy and paste into Logten Pro for keeping track of flights? I couldnt find any tutorials or previous help.

Monitoring...I can't get BidX Mobile to copy into iCal either. There's an option to do that, but when I click it, it just shuts off BidX Mobile and I have to restart it.

Does FxCal copy the schedule into iCal?

Yes, you can export to iCal from FxCal.

Alright, figured out that my phone hadn't updated to the new BidX Mobile from the App Store... when I deleted the old one, restarted the phone, then got the newest version on there, looks like it is exporting to iCal.

Still trying to figure out the whether I'm going to stick with FxCal or BidX Mobile...I hear that most people like FxCal better, but I also see that it's cheaper, so that makes sense. But I seem to like the BidX Mobile interface better.

Any old vets have a minute to school me on the advantages/disadvantages between them other than figuring out the interface differences?

Thanks in advance.

Also, if you tend to check open time often, the auto polling feature of FxCal is key. I'm a commuter so I don't tend to hawk open time.

I know several pilots that use both. Cost is minimal in the long run.

Everyone has a budget, but both the software creators are FDX pilots and have done a great job making products that help us out. I have both and find each has its own advantages. Nice to have smart guys making the process easier. I recommend getting both if you can...
