  1. 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.

  2. Print month view

    Could you include a print month view, and not just an agenda view for printing?

    Thank you for submitting your suggestion to help improve Informant. Our engineers are planning a feature that will allow for month view printing in a future release of Informant.

  3. 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,

  4. Wrap text of event descriptions in column week view

    Enable wrapping text of event descriptions in column week view to fit the space available (i.e., duration of the event). This allows the user to see more info about the event at a glance. See, e.g., FirstSeed Calendar or WeekCal for implementation comparison.

  5. In monthly Calendar view, please make the current date stand out. Not just a small orange dot. Highlight it or a bold box around date.

    I use the monthly view all the time. I haven’t been able to use informant exclusively because it’s hard to see where I am currently in monthly view when the previous and next months show before and after as well. Please highlight or bold box or something around the current date to stand out as soon as you launch. The orange dot just doesn’t cut it. Other apps do this better which is why I use them when quickly checking my calendar instead of informant 5.
    Thanks.
