  1. Please bring back the different color themes

    We are working on this for a future release. We want to make sure that the colored themes are not getting in the way of any other Informant functions and that the user interface will function the same regardless of the colors.

  3. Accepting invites from PI

    Currently, I have to use the standard Apple Calendar app to accept or reject meeting requests.
    I would like:
    * to be able to do so directly from PI (like the standard app does - and several competitors)
    * to see the unanswered requests highlighted on the calendar
    * possibly to see the number of unanswered requests on the badge

    With the current Apple engineering limitations this is presently not possible from an engineering standpoint. It is true that some competitors support this. However due to the fact that Pocket Informant is one of very small group that allows the use of iOS data AND local data it cannot support the Invites as the other applications that only do iOS events can. It’s an engineering tradeoff that has to be made to allow the two databases to be used together. If we limited the application to one or the other of the databases (iOS or local) this would not be an issue. We feel that a larger swath of our customers are better served by having both datasets available at the same time, its a standout feature of Pocket Informant though it does have tradeoffs. Now with all of this said if the Apple engineering, in the future, advances to a place where we can still provide side by side use of the local and iOS data and allow full invite management Pocket Informant will have that incorporated.

    Please add the ability when making triggers to pop up your existing tag fields not a blank field and then change it later to an existing tag field.

  6. Print weekly layout

    Have the option to print monthly or weekly view (vertical format). I'm the only one who uses a digital calendar, would be great to print and share with my family!

    A redo/undo function in the notes is important, because currently is it not possible to undo any modifications on notes.

  12. Jump to any date in Focus View

    Pressing the today button in Focus View jumps to the current date when viewing some other date. But it does nothing when already viewing the current date. Please make it display the date picker instead. There is no way to jump to a distant date in Focus View.

  14. I would like some kind of fanfare when completing a task.

    I would like some kind of fanfare when completing a task. In Dr BJ Fogg's book on Tiny Habits he talks about the importance of celebration when building a new habit, as the shot of dopamine strengthens the connections between the neurons responsible for the behaviour just performed. I believe this tiny amount of gamification in your app will be a very welcome addition. I have been using it to run my life for years, and I already get a kick out of completing the tasks, I am sure I am not alone, anything you could do to strengthen that feeling would make people enjoy using the app even more. Further examples of how products are sold through habit formation are also available in Charles Duhig's The Power of Habit, so from what I have learned, it would benefit your bottom line.

    Having a Smart Filter Property of "Location" would allow tasks to only be displayed when the device is physically at, or within a radius of, an actual GPS location

    In the country list, could you please add UTC? I have to make entries in GMT (=UTC). When I type GMT it will show the first country in the list (A....). I then have to scroll down 2/3 of the list to select GMT,

  17. Opening an existing alarm should show the originally set time, not the current time

    Let's say I have a task due today with an alarm set for 9 am, but it's now 11:32pm and I didn't complete my task. It's not a recurring task, I just missed it, so I want to move it to tomorrow, with the same 9am alarm. However, when I tap the 9am alarm to change it, it opens showing today at 11:32pm. When editing an existing task, it makes much more sense to stick with the original alarm time -- why would I want to set an alarm for the current time? (That would make sense for a new task, but not an existing one.) Not to mention that if I'm tapping on a 9 am alarm, it's logical that it would open showing 9 am. Thanks.
