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.
