From their announcement of acqusition: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.sunrise.am&#x2F;post&#x2F;110577824529&#x2F;sunrise-microsoft" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.sunrise.am&#x2F;post&#x2F;110577824529&#x2F;sunrise-microsoft</a><p>&gt; Today, we’re excited to announce that Sunrise is joining Microsoft. For Sunrise, this is just the beginning.<p>&gt; Sunrise will remain free and available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Desktop – we’re not going anywhere.

Once a startup gets bought, I look for alternatives.<p>If they don&#x27;t shut down, I still learned something new! But usually they do.<p>In this case, I landed on Fantastical [1] — it&#x27;s a little pricy but completely worth it. (Mac&#x2F;iOS only.)<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;flexibits.com&#x2F;fantastical" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;flexibits.com&#x2F;fantastical</a>

The overarching lesson I&#x27;m slowly learning is to not get too comfy with any saas products. Who knows how long they&#x27;ll stick around, regardless of if they&#x27;re great &#x2F; popular &#x2F; profitable.

They must have had amazing self-control to restrain themselves from titling this &quot;Sunrise is sunsetting&quot;.

This is becoming a tiring pattern.<p>I&#x27;ve just gotten used to the UI.<p>Can anyone commit to building a proper business? Is Sustainability no longer a virtue of creating a service&#x2F;application?

Well, this is disappointing. I was late to the Sunrise party, so I&#x27;ve barely been able to use it. I&#x27;m not thrilled about heavily integrating Outlook into my future work, so I guess it&#x27;s off to find another solution.

The best part about Sunrise was Meet, its quick little method of booking meetings with someone: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sunrise.am&#x2F;meet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sunrise.am&#x2F;meet</a><p>You&#x27;d choose some available times, it gives you a link which you send to whoever you want to meet with, and the recipient books a time slot with a couple of clicks. It updates in real time so if you book something new, the slot disappears. It even has a little iOS keyboard to generate these links.<p>Does anyone know a similar replacement service? Nothing beats just pasting someone a link and letting them pick one of three times you chose.

&gt; On August 31st, we’ll officially shut down the app and it will stop working all together.<p>So based on this, I assume that all access to your calendar server (iCloud, Exchange, Google Apps, etc) was managed through a centralised server(s) that Sunrise used... for something.<p>Maybe the next time someone claims to be a funky new take on &lt;boring office task&gt; just do a little checking. We&#x27;ve had desktop and mobile device clients for mail, calendaring, contacts etc for literally decades. Why <i>now</i>, when we have more computing power available to us than ever before, do we need <i>another</i> server (operated by a company that&#x27;s more likely to disappear than not) between us and our mail&#x2F;calendar&#x2F;contacts?

That&#x27;s why paying for mail, calendar and contacts hosting is worth it in the long run.

Sunrise, sunset?

This is lame, Sunrise has been awesome for me over the years.

Will Wunderlist shut down too, I wonder?

This is getting ridiculous. We need like n founder manifesto canary before we start using the products of all these startups. The canary should contain:<p>1. Their business plan<p>2. Long term vision for the company<p>3. How they plan to sustain themselves in the short run (1-2 years with no&#x2F;little revenue).<p>4. What they would do if they get acquisition offers.<p>etc.<p>The startup can remove the canary once they decide to change their direction.

I&#x27;d like to say THANK YOU to the Sunrise team for the incredible work you&#x27;ve put into the app! You&#x27;ve made my calendar experience very enjoyable and I know that you got a proper reward for that as part of the acquisition. It&#x27;s great that there are people like you, working on software these days.

Sunrise is the only calendar app that has ever worked for me. I tried others like Google and the integrated outlook calendar, this is sad news.<p>Is it impossible to have apps that don&#x27;t go either Microsoft or google? I don&#x27;t want to be locked in an ecosystem.

Well this sucks. anyone found a good alternative?

Drat, the best calendar app I&#x27;ve used on Android (except for the 46 notifications it gave for Easter Monday, and 58 for the last English Bank Holiday).<p>I will miss it.
jakegarelick大约 9 年前
Just saw the notification on my app this morning. Very unfortunate - I&#x27;ve been using it for as long as I remember, it was my favorite calendar app.<p>Any alternatives?

I&#x27;m sure this has been asked and answered before, but why do companies acquire startups just to shut their product down within a year so often? Is this just an acquihire? Or do big tech companies just play whack-a-mole with startups, buying any out with interesting products just to make sure they don&#x27;t one day turn into competition?

Great time for competitors to get users me thinks. I&#x27;m ready to jump ship, where to?

As good as Outlook is on iOS, the calendar portion doesn&#x27;t work well. It constantly misses timezones.

Just when I finally was happy with calendaring and got organised. So annoying

Submitted this to Our Incredible Journey [1] which documents a long string of services shut down post-acquisition.<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com&#x2F;</a>
