Google's Calendar App Finally Arrives on the iPhone — wired.com

Google finally released a Google Calendar app for iPhone today.

Google’s iOS Calendar app takes its styling cues from its Android counterpart. The interface follows Google’s Material Design guidelines, opening into a simple, blocky list of your upcoming events. Each event is color-coded based on what calendar it belongs to, and events with additional information attached to them (a location, flight details, etc.) also show up in this view.
