Energize Software iPhone and iPad Apps

I upgraded my device to iOS5 and now I have no alerts when not actively running the app.

Apple has a bug in iOS5 that when upgrading to iOS5 disables all notifications for apps that run in the background (except for push notification apps).

To correct this problem, go into your device's settings, notifications, and make sure the app is enabled for notification center. Make sure all the notification options are enabled.

I would like to be notified of upcoming events without going into the program - can I do this?

Yes you can on devices that support multitasking. Many options including what types of events to display as alerts, the alert sound, alert time, show tomorrows events, and show badge count.

What is the current version and what new features does it offer?

• The current version is V3.0
• Background notification event alerts for iOS4 devices that support multitasking. You must enable notifications in the options.
• New options screen with many choices for background alerts.
• Retina display support for the background image.
• Added recurring option of every 4 weeks.
• 50% more custom events for a total of 300.
• Multitasking support.
• App is now full screen.
• Enter custom dates through the year 2030.

What is the difference between importing birthdays with the option "Only add new" compared to "Overwrite existing"?

When importing birthdays from your contacts automatically, the first and last name of each of your contacts that have a birthday entry will be combined with the word "Bday" and this will form the name of the new custom event (Such as "John Smith Bday").

When selecting "Only add new" if a previous entry with the birthday name has already been created, it will not be touched in any way. If you select "Overwrite existing" then not only will it add new birthday events, but also update the dates of any existing events where the birthday or note has been changed in your contacts. You will receive a pop-up alert describing how many birthday events were added and updated.

The color of the imported birthdays is set to your default color. The icon used is the symbol of balloons. You can change the color or icon on an individual basis.

Is there integration with the device's built-in calendar?

This feature is planned for a future release.
