Wow, that looks SLICK. Very cool!

[Jerry Raia]

Yeah this is a great application and a needed one. They did a great job. It was fun being part of the beta and watching it evolve. :)

[PPCMD]

I did some of the early beta's and its a great app indeed. It just does so much more than the stock app and I look forward to integrated Tasks in the next version 1.1

The additional views, icons and color coding make this a very visual app.

[spunkkat]

I love the way it shows U all the options that R on each event! Very handy!

[teschall]

I like that it replaces the built in calendar without the need for a plug-in.

[Jeff Song]

I really like a few aspects about this neato program:

I like the different colors :D With these 65k color and up phones, you need to take advantage. Also, I like the week view, makes it easy to see whats coming up in my week. Well, I guess I don't need to see...because my week view always says "WORK" even on the weekends! :lol:

[prismejon]

The list view is super sweet when you want to get an overview of your upcoming appointments :D

[sheltem]

I've been in the beta the entire process as well. Lovely program. I just bought it today. Finally someone made a month view... *ahem power calendar*

[gcherian]

I love the feature by which the date selected in the month view has a little band, which shows the times you have appointments. It is kind of a neat snapshot of the day and when you are busy and when you are free....

Yeah no kidding. Talk about dropping the ball. :roll:

[Jerry Raia]

I just bought my mine :)

[tedtwong]

My favorite feature? That it's much easier to read than the one my smt5600 comes with.

[ZooKeeper]

My favorite feature is the ability to see all the events during a selected day while in the month view.

[MR_E]

Best feature? Excellent use of screen 'real estate'. Amazing how it shows so much more information using the same number of pixels.

[leslietroyer]

Like the last poster I find the "progress bar" for appointment durring the day much easier to "read" than triangle this way, triangle that way or a box. I can quickly see at a glance how open a day is -- something you don't get with the default app.

This is slick... best feature is month view without a doubt.

Cool! A colour calendar finally.... Am gonna give it a try definitely... Let's see if I'm lucky enough to get a freebie one... ;)

[Qzic]

My favorite feature is the month view with the daily list on the bottom. Great way to search for upcoming items.

[Santa Fe]

My vote for the best feature is the willingness of the developers to "get it right" by involving all of us users. That means there will be more to come.

[Tiny56]

Superb Calendar replacement app. Typical of SBSH's great software (I love PocketBreeze and PocketWeather for my PPC).

If I have to pick a single favourite feature, it would have to be the use of colour. So obvious, so simple, yet so versatile and so useful in an app like this.

[kwues]

Greatly developed application....very intuitive and full of features....the feature I find most usefull is the "quick view list" at the bottom of the "Month View".....Simply Ingenious!....Thank You, SBSH!!!

Regards,
Keith.

[canux]

I love the easy interface to enter new appointments!

[nirav28]

Great app. Fast and responsive on my SMT5600,

I do like the different options icon display for each appointment. Also like the listview. Very well designed app and easy to use.

I might have to buy it now :)

[jychow]

Great software with different views. However, the entry of calendar needs work, at least for me. For whatever the reason, the input method is defaulted to "Multipress" instead of T9. Can anyone give me any pointers?

Thanks.

[iclark]

What rocks my world is the Monthly View what still shows a Quick view of the entries for the selected day.

Hi Eric :)

We've just released a new update that allows you to choose which default input mode to use (among other additions). You can read more about it on the following URL:
