  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!

  10. redo/undo

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

  14. 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.

  15. Make GMT at the top of the list

    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,
