Handy Mayan date converter and educational tool with some UI and privacy quirks

Boris Weber

Maya Calendar by Edwin Barnhart is a compact, offline reference and converter that provides Maya-Gregorian date conversions, Long Count tools, birthday/horoscope features and historical tidbits, but suffers from a clumsy interface and confusing contact-permission behavior reported by users.
VERY GOOD User Rating

A great resource for those interested in comparing Maya and Christian calendar dates. The Maya Calendar app provides the ability to switch between Maya and Gregorian dates without requiring an internet connection, making it convenient for travelers exploring Maya ruins. Users can calculate Gregorian calendar dates from Maya long counts inscribed on monuments.

Maya Calendar presents the Maya calendar date for the current day or any historical date, enabling users to navigate between past, present, and future dates. The app facilitates date conversions between the Maya and Gregorian calendars, educates users about the different Maya time cycles, and explains the significance of December 21, 2012 A.D. in the Maya calendar system.

Moreover, this application can determine an individual's birthday according to the Maya sacred calendar and interpret its implications on personality traits and destiny.

Key features of Maya Calendar include:

  • The Home Page displaying the current day in hieroglyphs and modern text formats of the Maya Calendar.
  • "This Day in Maya History" segment highlighting significant events from Maya history correlating to various dates throughout the year.
  • Detailed explanations about major Maya calendrical cycles, the calendar correlation debate, and insights into the speculated end date of 2012 A.D. under the "Maya Calendars" section.
  • The Calculator function enabling the conversion of Gregorian dates to their corresponding Maya calendar dates.
  • The Long Count feature offering the conversion of Maya Long Count dates to Gregorian calendar dates.
  • The Birthdays feature allowing users to calculate and save individuals' birthdays in accordance with the Maya sacred calendar, providing details about personality traits, associated animals, colors, directions, and historical events on that birth date.
  • The Known Birthdays feature storing recorded Maya birthdays and sending reminders when these individuals' birthdays approach.
  • "What to Do Today" recommending activities suggested by modern Maya calendar priests based on a specific day.
