• Import from URL: Open iCalImporter and tap on the "From URL" button on the top-right of the screen. If you have previously imported a URL, it should be listed here already.

Note that if this is the first time using iCalImporter, you may need to go into the and enable the calendar for the iCalImporter account, otherwise the entry will be added to an "" account.  If you then want to add this entry to your default calendar account instead of the iCalImporter account, you can open up that calendar entry and  just .
