Peek Calendar for the iPhone: Mental reminder

With all its range of App Store is not often pleased with something really interesting. The more pleasant to discover a program such as Peek Calendar. Despite its simplicity and clear orientation to the measured pace of life, this "reminder" has every chance of success.

Many would agree that at first glance at Peek Calendar captured a certain similarity with Clear Task Manager. But this is hardly a disadvantage - rather, it is the further development of the idea of ​​a self-contained concept design that can be said, it is not associated with the design of iOS 7, but it complements its cool "Plane".

Structurally Peek Calendar is designed so that it is most convenient to plan things for the next week, which available in the form of a simple list: Tap any day - and the list gracefully unfold from a folded accordion sheet. The days on which at least one scheduled event, marked by a dash, and its length depends on the number of tasks.

If you press a little "delay" - that is, hold your finger on the right bottom with half a second - team work to create a new event, tied to the selected date. Here originally implemented the time setting up the start and duration of the problem: it is necessary to clamp again the same time one of the strings - and the program will switch to the desired mode. The time is adjusted using two "sliders-indicators", and the duration of one event. In the latter case the main indicator - it is the length, but next to the finger also displays a time of the end.

The number of "nadoedalok" five - this is quite enough, not only to remind yourself of an upcoming event, but remember it is still before the iPhone once again rang. :) Options periodicity - four. Place a specified text - so do not fool you position the marker icon that is very similar to the reminder button. Located at the very bottom of the map, you can specify your time zone. So choose the calendar (if normal "calendar" they have several) program allows.

All that is outside of the current week, the program shows in the form of a traditional monthly grid, with each cell which works the same way: by clicking on the date, if it is tied at least one event takes place list.

In the list of tasks implemented is another interesting feature Peek Calendar. If you move one of the tasks to the right, you can "spy" the duration and location. Cool. :)

If you whisk your finger to the left, seem customization panel. In addition to tips on the basic commands, you can also select a different color scheme (one by default, I like more) and include "eclipse gesture» (shadow gesture). The essence of this is that if the cover, for example, palm light sensor ayfon located Near the front smartphone chamber, the upper part of the screen fills black gradient on which appear clock. Although this feature does not always work well (false positives can be in low light conditions), the very idea is excellent.

Separate paragraph to recall the function of creating a random event. If you shake the phone 4-5 times, Peek Calendar carefully offer someone laugh, do what he likes to call a dear person, and even remind to drink more water. Soulful such calendars. :)

In general, the program leaves a good impression. It is evident that the developers have a creative approach to rethink the program calendar. Application of this type in the App Store are many, and Peek Calendar stands out from this "crowd".

Of course, not without blemish. For example, it is not accurate localization into Russian: where ellipses hurt the eyes, and where - the phrase, translated from the English "on the forehead." Also I did not like too small buttons "yes" and "no" on the screen create / edit events. I would even get rid of them by entering any gestures. I added a few new gestures and to the main list calendar. Also there is an annoying glyuchok when removed regular event: calendar starts behaving inappropriately lead ...

However, given that the program very vigorously developing (version 1.0.4 is already available in the App Store), the remaining roughness certainly be quickly corrected. Well, set lotions, for which Peek Calendar and should fall in love with, hopefully, will be expanded. Personally, I wish the project a long and colorful life. :)
