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”.

About Organizer+
Organizer+ automatically synchronizes with all defined calendars on your iPhone and therefore events in Organizer+ are all your calendar entries, but enhanced with underlying links to your iPhone resources (such as people in your Address Book, co~ordinates from GoogleMaps etc). When you receive an event from an outside source, say Exchange Server, Organizer+ will display it ‘as it is’ and will not force any icons or such. But such events can be edited and while doing so – Organizer+ will try to resolve, from the event name – associated people from your Address Book and from its location attribute – an address that will be linked to GoogleMaps.
You can change an event date by tapping its date icon (or changing it’s description and allowing Organizer+ to resolve the start and end time from the description).
Events can have alerts, that will inform you in advance about it’s occurrence – but since the majority of your events will come from iPhone calendars – alert may link to it instead of to Organizer+. For all events created in Organizer+ the alert window will link to event details in Organizer+.
