  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. 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.

  4. 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,

  5. rescheduling recurring task by drag and drop in calendar view would affect all the upcoming tasks

    If I want to reschedule an occurrence of a recurring task to a new time in the day by drag and drop in calendar view, this would change the time for all the future occurrences. Please make drag and drop only affect the occurrence that changed and not all the future occurrneces of recurring tasks.

  6. Future occurrences of a recurrig task do not appear in calendar view.

    please make the future occurrences of a recurrig task to appear in the calendar view [by the way recurring events appear but tasks do not] so that if I want to schedule a new task or event in future I can know what is the free time to schedule it without conflict.

  7. Free days

    Would you please consider developing a feature that allows the user to run a quick search in the Calendar / Event section that would show free days? Ideally, a report could be generated that shows free days or months.

    I believe I had that functionality, when I used a Palm Pilot and purchased Datebook.

  8. Month View: scrolling shows "month title"

    Like apple calendar and busycal, it would be great if as we scroll up and down in the month view the name of the month temporarily appears in large capital letters so we know where we are as we scroll.
