I like this app. It’s simple. It’s practical. It does one thing well. EventHorizon by Percula Software is well designed and functions reliably. It’s nice to have an app that just does what it’s supposed to do and doesn’t get in your way, or its way.
The concept is simple: you have a list of events and reminders that you want to be able to look at quickly. You don’t want to be surprised that you missed your Mother’s Birthday two days ago. EventHorizon takes that fear away by allowing you to put all of those important dates and reminders into the app and not worry about them. Better yet, if you have them stored in your Calendar (edit 3/16/09) Address Book app on your iPhone/Touch, it will pull them over for you. Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom! If you have pictures of your Mom in the Address book app, it’ll pull that over too. Lickety Split!
You pick the time frames for the notice periods: urgent, approaching, and normal. You can also add to the pre-set categories that come loaded with the app, customization at your fingertips.
This thing is flexible too. You can keep it light (Birthdays, Anniversaries, important events etc.) or you can go full bore and make it a mini-personal assistant, putting any and every reminder you want into it. Very nice.
In my opinion, this is what you wish the Calendar app would do for all of your reminders.
This review is short. Not for lack of words, but because the thing just works. It made my home page in my reference section. Good job Percula!

Got this from Percula Software:

Hi, thanks for your nice review of EventHorizon. One thing though, in your review you mention that EventHorizon can bring over events from the built-in calendar, but unfortunately this is not true. EventHorizon can only import dates from the address book, NOT the calendar.
This is because Apple do not provide any access at all to the built-in calendar, which I mention in the app description.
I’m a bit concerned that your review might annoy people by telling them it can do something that it can’t, would it be possible for you to take that line out?
Thanks,
Charles

That’s the reason for the strikeout text. Thanks for the correction Charles!

Hi Michael,
I got your email on EventHorizon. Ooops! I’m sorry about that. I meant to say Address Book app instead of Calendar app. I went back and made the correction keeping the strikethrough on the Calendar part. I also put an edit date on the correction. I hope that’s okay.

I’m considering getting the app, does it have the option of repeating events such as birthdays or weekly events?

Hi Chris,
Yes, the option of repeating events is built into the program.
If the event is pulled from the Address book (say a Birthday or Anniversary) it is auto repeating.
Entries that you put in your self can be entered daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
Wonderful app!

Hi Guys
I love this little app, but I have one problem. I purchased it to remind me of birthdays. If you leave it without loading it for a few weeks, it won’t add a count to the Home Screen if a birthday is due. I missed a friends Birthday recently. I have it ticked in the settings. The only way I can get it to count is to load the app, then it adds the count to the home screen. Might be doing something wrong?
