ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

• Customized events / tasks are great for tracking a repeating event such as a birthday, anniversary, or meeting as well as an appointment, wedding, vacation, dinner, sporting event, doctor’s visit, graduation, party and more.
• Use the program as a task manager for “to do” tasks such as going to the store, making a phone call, or doing an errand. Phone numbers entered in the event notes can be clicked on to dial on the iPhone.
• The closest holiday or custom event is always displayed first in a scrolling sorted list. By default when the date of a custom event has passed, it will display "expired" on the selection screens and will no longer display on the main screen.
• When importing birthdays from your contacts, choose to import only new entries or also update previously imported birthdays. If the birthday has a note, it will be imported as well.
• Increase the size of pictures or text in the pop-up details window using pinch gestures.
• Traditional Holidays include New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Lincoln's Birthday, Valentine's Day, Presidents Day, St Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Included Jewish holidays: Purim, Pesach, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, and Hanukkah.
• Special Events include Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Daylight Saving Time start and end dates and Flag Day.

Note: While the ability to be notified of upcoming events without the program running is a requested feature, Apple does not allow a program to run in the background, so this is currently not possible.

Look for an update by the end of September 2010 (V3.0) to provide alerts even when the app is not running on iOS 4 devices that support multitasking.
