After introducing Reminders in version 1.4 of Organizer+ we decided to improve this functionality in order to save battery life. Initial task reminders that we’ve implemented were based on GPS running in the background. If accuracy is the key – GPS seems to be ideal solution for launching reminder close to address of your choice. In reality battery life was substantially reduced. In version 1.5 we are going to introduce region-based reminders that don’t use GPS but iOS capabilities of detecting user location.
FAQ:
Question: How can I change the default color (blue) of my calendar entries?
Answer: Tap on the gear icon (top left corner), select “Colors & Visibility” and choose your colors.
Question: I can’t edit my event, why?
Answer: Events that come from a server as an invitation cannot be edited. This behavior is consistent with iPhone default calendar, we’re not limiting your options here. What you can do is delete an event from view – to do that please open list view, swipe your event and press Delete.
Question: Why can’t I invite people to an existing event?
Answer: iOS has very limited capability when it comes to invitations. We’re struggling to find a consistent way of making invitations work, but be sure that we are working on this issue for future releases, indeed it’s on the top of our list of priorities.
Question: How can I hide some of my calendars from view?
Answer: Tap on the gear icon (top left corner), select “Colors & Visibility” and select / deselect your calendars

About Organizer+
When creating events, Organizer+ tries to recognize your activity (such as meeting, call, drive or flight) and presents it as an icon. Also, activities have a duration attribute. Duration for the predefined activities has been set and is used by default (but you can change any of them) ie telephone call ~ 15 minutes, meeting ~ 60 minutes, so there’s no need to set an end time.
Organizer+ is equipped with a predefined set of activities, but there is no limit to using activity icons. You can create new activities and attach your own icons. This can be done in preferences (accessible under “gear” icon).
Defined activities will be recognized during new event creation. For example: define soccer as an activity that lasts 90 mins. Next time you creat an event – write “tomorrow 10:00 AM soccer with Paul” – Organizer+ will instantly recognize and add the end time 90 mins later, 11:30 AM soccer with Paul”.
