Version History • If you've enabled Differentiate Without Colour and you're showing gradients in widgets, you'll now see the countdown/up arrow instead of the previous shaded bar. This looks much better. Bugfixes: • If the setting to select archived events in widgets was disabled, and you archived an event that was being displayed in a widget, the widget lost its link to the event. Fixed. • Sometimes, tapping a complication would show the event in the Watch app but then close the event and say it couldn't be found. Fixed. 7.0.1 Jan 23 • Updated to support iOS 26 and the iPhone 17 series. • Works with iPadOS 26's new windowing systems. • Liquid Glass has been tastefully adopted across the app, and every part has been re-worked so accessibility settings such as Button Shapes/Show Borders and Bold Text are taken into account. • There's a new toolbar at the top of the screen, and it looks gorgeous! • If you have a large number of archived events wouldn't it be handy to hide them? Yes, so now you can! Just tap on the "Archived" bar in the events list. Tap again to show them. - This preference is stored and survives across launches of the app. - If your cover event is in the collapsed archived section, the bar will take on a different colour to give you a visual clue as to where it is. • When an event is shown full-screen, long-pressing the notes field used to show a darker background so you could read your notes a little better, but it was a bit uncomfortable when scrolling through a long note. Now, just tap once and the background will be toggled on or off. As above, this preference is saved. • The toolbar from previous versions now always floats over content at the bottom of the events list. It used to be stuck permanently below the cover event at the top, and would disappear when you scrolled, so this is much more useful. • In the Event Editor there's a new button on the map to show it full-screen, giving you more room to pinpoint a location, or just see where the location has been set. • If you use the Emoji Generator to create a fun background, there's now some controls to zoom the emojis in and out. Fun! - Special Days: • The bar for Special Days is optional, and remains at the top of the events list on both the iPhone and iPad. • It also appears at the bottom of the screen if you have no events and it's a special day. • Tapping to add an event for a special day always added it for the date of the event next year, even if it was different, like Easter Sunday, but the name would be this year's name, e,g, "Easter Sunday 2025" instead of "Easter Sunday 2026". - If the special day isn't happening next year this will add the event with today's date, at noon. - The Watch & Widgets: • Added a "Your cover event" complication for the Watch and as a small and medium widget for your iPhone, iPad and Mac, so you can always show your current cover event rather than having to edit complications and widgets when you change it. • Circular complications on the Watch, and Lock Screen widgets on the iPhone and iPad now show hours or minutes remaining if there's space. For example, if there's 6d 5h on the countdown they would show "6d", but they now show the "5h" too. • There's a new setting for Widgets: - Show just the red/green gradient; show just the image (new); show both. - The gradients now respect the "Differentiate Without Colour" accessibilty option. The red gradient becomes dark grey for a past event, and the green gradient becomes light grey for a future event. - If you're showing images & gradients in widgets, the DWC gradient doesn't look so obvious, so you'll see a bar down the side on the medium widget, a bar across the top for the small widget, and on the large widget the countdown timer has an appropriately-coloured background. - Bugfixes: • It wasn't possible to save an image to a new event on iOS/iPadOS 26. • On iPad, opening Search from the menu in the toolbar didn't open the Events List, so the search never appeared. • Special days in October 2025 & 2026 - in French - all got translated to "Halloween". Didn't mean to scare you! • The large widget showed preview data when it had fewer than four events. It should've shown a little bit of text suggesting you add more events. • It wasn't possible to tap to set manual coordinates in the event editor's map in iOS 26. • No more random notifications for deleted events! • LOTS of internal improvements and minor fixes. 7.0 11/30/2025 - New "Fetch weather for archived events" setting: • Off by default, it reduces the number of automatic requests made to the weather service. So, if the weather hasn't been updated in a while and the app updates it, it simply doesn't request weather for archived event locations. • It only affects the events list, meaning you can't refresh weather for archived events in the list but you can still view weather if it's present, such as when you have an archived event and a non-archived event that use the same location, the archived event will still show the weather (because hiding it when it already exists, is just mean). • The event editor is unaffected so you can still enable/disable weather when you create or edit an event; and you'll still see weather in the cover view and event list header. - Updated complications and Lock Screen widgets to show a nicer timer when the screen is dimmed. - Minor UI adjustments in the weather and settings screens. - Added some extra gradient images to the included images. Bugfixes: - Some of you couldn't dismiss the events list on the iPad. Sorry about that. - If there were zero days to an event, the counter in the list didn't show "0d". Highlights from version 6.5: - Vastly more accurate date calculations, so your widgets should now show the correct countdown timers. - Events no longer require a location. - You can create backgrounds made of emoji! - A new large widget showing the top four events in your list. - New options in the settings screen. 6.5.2 01/07/2025 - Minor change to Watch images. 6.5: - Rewrote date calculations so widgets are accurate now. - Updated icons and widgets for the new iOS 18 Home Screen customisations. - Added more accessibility labels to aid in VoiceOver. - More of the UI has been improved for the differentiate without colour accessibility option. Events: - Events no longer require a location: • With no location you can't get weather, and events can't be seen in the map view. • Content in widgets and Watch complications expands to fill the extra space. - You can tap the weather icon of an event in the list to see the weather screen. - New categories: Fishing Trip, Fitness, Flight, Golfing, Run, Toys, and Walk. Emoji backgrounds! - Tap to add or change your image, then choose the new emoji option at the bottom. - Enter up to 7 emoji and watch as they magically appear on the screen. You can also just enter text, but that's boring. - Choose a nice background colour to complement your emoji. Widgets: - Added a large widget that shows the four events at the top of your events list, along with their countdown timers. - Reduced the size of widget images. Existing events will be updated over time when you launch the app, but you can do so manually by changing an event's image. Settings: - Events List: • Event counter style: Lets you choose how the days remaining are displayed in the events list in both the app and on the Watch. • Show toolbar: Shows a small toolbar at the top of the list with buttons to sort, show the map view (if space allows), show the cover view, and add a new event. • Show bar for special days: If today's date is a known set of special dates this shows that day's information and a button to add the event to your list. For example, if today is 25th December you'll see some Christmas-themed emojis and can create a new Christmas event for next year. Handy, and can easily be turned off if you aren't interested. • When creating an event for a special day the emoji generator will automagically generate an image with those emojis. You don't have to use the image; you can use one of your own images, as normal. • These are worldwide or international events, not things like "National Cheese Day" in the UK; but if you want National Cheese Day or similar, let me know! - Widgets: • Show archived events in widget selection: Off by default. Archived events won't be available for widgets, reducing the number of events in the list. An existing widget for an archived event will work as normal, you just can't select it again. Watch App: - When viewing an event on the Watch you can tap the Notes field to cycle through some different font sizes, in case you find the one picked is too small. - The new settings from the main app are also in the Watch App's settings. - Reduced the amount of data sent to the Watch to only that which is strictly necessary. Weather: - I spent a week in 43ºC summer sun in Las Vegas, and - trust me - there was no way you should see blue in the temperature colour guage! - View changes you make here are now stored, so if you tap to change visibility from metres to km, the next time you view the weather screen for any event it'll start off in km. Also applies to temperature, wind, and pressure. - The Sunrise/Sunset block will now show the sunrise time prominently when the current time is closer to sunrise, and the sunset time when it's closer to sunset. Bugfixes: - If you had multiple events with the same name and one of them was the cover event, they would all show the green bar by the side in the events list. - When you searched and found no events, the 'no results' screen didn't respect your device's Dark Mode setting. - Deleting some events didn't remove their notification, so you might've received a notification for a deleted event. - Changing some settings in the main app that affected the Watch didn't always send those changes to the Watch. - Corrected a typo - "Longtitude", indeed. - Added a missing French translation. 6.5.1 12/27/2024 - Rewrote the date calculations so everything is accurate now. As in, *accurate*. - Updated icons and widgets for the new iOS 18 Home Screen customisations. - Added more accessibility labels to aid in VoiceOver. - More of the UI has been improved for the differentiate without colour accessibility option. Events: - Events no longer require a location: • With no location you can't get weather, and events can't be seen in the map view. • Content in widgets and Watch complications expands to fill the extra space. - You can tap the weather icon of an event in the list to see the weather screen. - New categories: Fishing Trip, Fitness, Flight, Golfing, Run, Toys, and Walk.

Sorry about that. • Changing the number of events on the Watch App's settings didn't tell the main iOS app to update the Watch. 6.0.2 05/01/2024 6.0.1: • Fix for crash on launch for some users. 6.0: WHAT A TREAT! The main app has been rewritten from scratch - *absolutely everything* has been updated to have a more modern look, and there are many nice little features and designs. Take a look! Here's a sample of what's changed: • The event editor and settings screens are beautiful. They. Are. Gorgeous! • A much nicer map in the event editor, with a better way of setting manual coordinates; just enter a location and let the map load, then enable manual coords, move around the map, and tap somewhere to drop the pin. • A vastly improved look for the iPad: •• The app no longer requires the full screen, and works fully in Split View multitasking! •• Your cover event is shown as a background. To see your list of events just tap the button in the top left (or use the hamburger menu). You can search, sort, delete, edit, etc. as usual in here. • Weather is more reliable, and there's a much-improved weather screen: •• A new way of seeing wind direction. •• Tap the wind pane to switch between metres per second, kilometres per hour, and miles per hour. •• Tap the temperature pane to switch between 'feels like' and actual temperatures. •• Tap the pressure pane to switch between hPa, mbar, mmHg and inHg. •• Tap the visibility pane to switch between metres, kilometres and miles. •• Humidity now gives you a general idea of how it _might_ affect you. • You can have multiple events with the same name. • You can now duplicate an event, which should save you some time if you have similar events: •• Hold down on an event in the list and choose "Duplicate". You'll see the event editor with all the details from the selected event, but without the image and name; you'll need to set those yourself. • When you choose to add an event to your calendar it will have a link to open the event directly from the calendar entry. • If you search in Spotlight you can now continue the search in the app. • If you find your events aren't showing in Spotlight after installing the new version, there's a 'Rebuild' button in the Settings screen which will re-add indexable events. • Improvements to the passcode entry screen: •• It's now less confusing to update or remove authentication. •• Your passcode is securely stored in your Keychain. •• The time between entry attempts gets longer each time you fail, which should stop someone brute-forcing their way in to see how long you've had your cat :) • Some accessibility features added, including differentiating without colour. • More categories! Sailing, Cycling, Hiking, Studying, Gallery, Museum... • Watch: •• If you've added a complication to your Watch screen for a particular event and that event is later removed from the Watch - by changing the number of events sent, or archiving it and not sending archived events to the Watch, for example - you should still be able to tap it to view the event. It might take a few seconds to transfer the data, but it should then be displayed on your Watch. • Widgets & Complications: •• Widgets and compilcations should now be displayed correctly in the selection screens, rather than randomly showing the info for a different event. Note: • Sadly, it's highly likely that your Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets will be cleared. It wasn't possible to retain the link between a widget and its event. You just need to hold down on a widget and choose the right event again, and it'll work fine. They will work absolutely wonderfully going forward. If you have any requests for new features or improvements, or have found a bug - however small - please get in touch! 6.0.1 04/17/2024 WHAT A TREAT!

If you have any requests for new features or improvements, or have found a bug - however small - please get in touch! 6.0 04/16/2024 Widgets: • Widgets on your macOS Sonoma desktop! I didn't do it; it comes free with macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 :) • Improved the widgets and complications for the latest versions of Apple's operating systems. • Widgets should now correctly change when the event happens, so a Home Screen widget counting down will have a green tint and change to a red tint once the event time has passed. • The small widget is supported in StandBy mode on iOS 17 and the iPadOS 17 Lock Screen, so you can fall asleep knowing you've had your cat for 3 years, 9 weeks and 2 days. What a time to be alive! Complications: • Tapping a complication will now open that event on your Watch, just as tapping a widget on your iPhone/iPad opens the main app. • Complications on the Watch only allow you to select from 15 events, so you'll see the 15 at the top of your list from the main app and Watch app. You can add complications for those 15 events, then change the sort order to get a different 15. It's a limitation in watchOS, sorry. Other stuff: • You can now set an event to use specific latitude and longitude. Just enter a location as normal, say, "Paris, France", and enable "Use Manual Coordinates". Drag the map around to drop the pin. Weather will be given for those coordinates rather than the general location of Paris. Events still need a location; manual coordinates don't replace it. • Events using manual coordinates will show a little icon at the top left of the weather screen. • The sorting control in the top left of the app has been changed to a menu, allowing quick access to more functions. It's also easier now to see what the sort order is, as you get a little arrow :) • Previously, if you had granted location access to When's That, sorting by location was done by distance from your current location rather than by alphabetical location name. You can now choose to sort by either method. • You can also change sort order in the Settings screen of the Watch app. • When searching by category you no longer need to type the full name, e.g. "Birthday". You can type "b" and it will search all categories containing "b". • Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the cover view text might be black when opening the app by tapping on a widget. 5.2 11/01/2023 • You can now archive events: •• Edit an event and turn on the archive switch at the bottom, or long-press an event in the list and choose to archive/unarchive it from there. •• Archived items remain in the list but are moved into their own section at the bottom. •• In the Settings screen you can choose whether archived events are seen in the map screen, and sent to your Watch. •• In the map screen archived events have grey pins; unarchived events in the past are in red, and upcoming events are green. •• The same lists of events in the app are sent to the Watch, so you will also see a separate list of archived events there (unless you've chosen not to send them). •• The cover event (whether archived or not) is always sent to the Watch. • Each event can have its own countdown style: •• You can view really old events in years/weeks/days rather than days, for example. •• Upon installing the new version, existing events will use the original style you'd set in the Settings screen. •• You can choose a countdown style when editing an existing event or creating a new one. •• The Settings screen has an override switch so you can force all events to use the same countdown style (this is basically the original behaviour). •• Your choices are also seen in Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets, and on the Watch. • Timers on Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets sometimes get out of step, so there's a button in the Settings screen to refresh them. • There's also a button to force refresh the data on your Watch if you find the system hasn't transferred over your changes. (You'll rarely, if ever need this.) 5.1 07/30/2023 5.0.1: • Added link to Mastodon, and removed Twitter link. • Bugfix: If you chose a font and pressed Cancel, then tried to choose a font again, it wouldn't work. 5.0: • Due to a complete re-write of the Watch app, this version is now only compatible with iOS/iPadOS 16+ and watchOS 9+. Trust me, it's much better! • The Today View widget is no longer compatible so it's been removed - but... you can add multiple Home Screen widgets to the Today View instead! Better. • Your settings might've been altered by the upgrade. Just pop into the Settings screen and give 'em an update. • Re-architecting the app means you get all the spiffy new things from iOS 16 like Lock Screen widgets! Fill your boots. • Just to reiterate the point: the Watch app is so good that changes you make on your iPhone are almost instantly visible on your Watch. See, better! • You can now choose a colour for all parts of an event: the name, location, date, category, countdown timer, weather icon and description, even the little up/down arrow! •• You can also set all colours the same, making it easy to go back to a cleaner view. •• Colours will be seen everywhere: in the app, widgets, even on your Apple Watch. •• Alpha values are also respected, so you can hide elements by making them transparent. Don't like the arrow? Set it to 0% and you never have to see it again. Don't go hiding the countdown timer - for giggles - though. • Fonts can be changed, too! •• These will be seen in the app and in Home Screen widgets. •• Apple recommends using certain fonts for displaying content on the Watch so text is readable and glorious, so the Watch app won't use your chosen fonts. • Weather icons used to be dull and grey, but they're all lovely and colourful now, everywhere! •• You can either stick with the lovely colourful icons, or override the colour when editing/creating an event. Just set a colour for the weather icon and enable "Apply Colour to Weather Icons". • The Watch app has a new Settings screen where you can change all the settings you currently can in the main app (except authentication): •• Make your changes, then scroll down and tap "Save". •• Changes are made instantly. •• If the Settings screen is open on your iPhone and you make changes on the Watch, the screen on the iPhone is updated; and vice versa. Neat! • Added a map to the event create/edit screen so you can see where your chosen location actually is. •• If you type "Venice" you'll likely get Venice in Florida but you couldn't see that before. If you type "Venice, IT" you'll get the lovely Italian city and you'll see a pin on the map so you know you're in the right place. •• If you move around the map too much there's a button to return to your pinned location. Moving around the map doesn't change the location you've chosen. • The map view (globe icon) now has a button that lists your events so you can zoom straight to any of them. • Home Screen widgets and Watch complications respect your privacy settings. •• If the system wants to hide your data, like when your phone is locked and you swipe left on the Lock Screen, it will. You can override this by enabling "Show information when device is locked/inactive" in the Settings screen. There's a setting for Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and one for the Watch app and complications. • Complications can now show any of your events rather than just the cover event. • Circular complications and Lock Screen widgets switch to a gauge when the event is coming up within a day or occurred in the last day. • Some complications also show a different view when you're within an hour of the event. • Updates to complications are controlled by the Watch so they may not happen exactly when you expect them. • If your cover event has 0 days left, the app now just shows the hours/minutes/seconds countdown timer. 5.0.1 11/14/2022 • Due to a complete re-write of the Watch app, this version is now only compatible with iOS/iPadOS 16+ and watchOS 9+. Trust me, it's much better! • The Today View widget is no longer compatible so it's been removed - but... you can add multiple Home Screen widgets to the Today View instead!

There's a setting for Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and one for the Watch app and complications. • Complications can now show any of your events rather than just the cover event. • Circular complications and Lock Screen widgets switch to a gauge when the event is coming up within a day or occurred in the last day. • Some complications also show a different view when you're within an hour of the event. • Updates to complications are controlled by the Watch so they may not happen exactly when you expect them. • If your cover event has 0 days left, the app now just shows the hours/minutes/seconds countdown timer. Bugfixes: • The weather screen no longer clips text. • The headers in the weather screen are now translated into French. • It wasn't possible to edit an event from the cover view on an iPad. • Tapping a widget if the app had been killed in the background didn't work. 5.0 11/12/2022 • Long-pressing on an event in your list of events and choosing "Show Details" presents a much nicer view than before when it was a simple heads up display that disappeared after a few seconds. • The full-screen weather view has been improved a little. • You can now add your When's That events to your calendar! There's a new switch at the bottom of the new/edit event screen: •• Adding a new calendar entry: Turn on the "Add Calendar Entry" switch when creating a new event, and you're asked to confirm the details before saving the new entry in your calendar. •• Editing: Update the event and turn on the switch. As long as you haven't deleted the calendar entry since adding the event, it'll be updated with your changes. •• Deleting: Edit the event and turn on the switch, then press the "Delete Event" button. You'll be asked to confirm before the event is deleted in both the app and your calendar. •• You can delete an event in the app without deleting its corresponding calendar entry; just don't turn on the switch before you delete the event. Notes on calendar entries: • It's important to note that if you cancel the calendar entry screen, your new app event is still created or updated, but the calendar entry is not. • If there are no changes in the event when you've turned on the switch, the calendar entry won't be changed. • If you delete an event from the list in the main screen, this will also delete the calendar entry. The popup will inform you of this. •• If you want to keep your calendar entry, edit the event first, leave the switch turned off, and delete it from there. • If you edit your calendar entry in the Calendar app, and alter its notes, the event in the app doesn't know about those updates, so you'll be asked if you want to replace your app's notes with those from the calendar entry. This is to stop you losing your changes. •• If you later clear the notes in the event, and update the calendar entry at the same time, the calendar entry's notes will be removed, too. •• If you clear the notes from the calendar entry, then edit the event and turn on the switch, regardless of what is in the event's notes, they will be saved to the calendar entry (including empty notes). • Calendar entries have an id stored in the URL field. This is how the app knows which calendar event is which. You're free to delete that url, but that'll break the link between the app event and the calendar entry. •• If you tap the URL in a calendar entry, it will open that event in When's That. • If you use When's That on multiple devices and share a calendar, entries added to the calendar show on the other devices, so if you have the same event name on both devices When's That will find that one entry. It's unlikely you will have two events with the same name on the same day and at the same time, but created on two different devices, so this should be fine. I know it's a lot to take in, but I don't want you losing important information. Bugfixes: • Re-jigged the medium widget. The time was sometimes displayed underneath the weather, so this stops that from happening. • The red alert date banner in the edit event screen wasn't hidden if you changed the alert to something in the past, then back to "At time of event". • When creating/editing an event and after picking an image, the 'alert before' pickers would sometimes be empty, and the image would sometimes be lost. Someone was emptying an array too early... Someone. • Searching for events with a specific category didn't work. • The "My Location" button in the Map view didn't work unless you had "Precise Location" enabled. 4.1 09/23/2021 This is a much, much better app, and there are so many new things. Here we go! • Added new Home Screen Widgets for iOS 14 to show off your events: •• Small widgets show the event's name, countdown timer, and current weather at the location. Medium widgets also show the location. •• There's a new setting in the app to show event images in the Home Screen widgets and Today View. They look great with the images on! •• You can add as many widgets as you like, so you can keep track of all your important events right on your Home Screen. •• Tapping a widget will launch the app and show that event full-screen. •• Note: Weather will clear after four hours as it's no longer relevant. Launch the app again to show updated weather. • Added an events map so you can see where your events are all over the world! •• You can access it via the little globe icon. • If you agree to let the app use your location (only while you're using the app, because privacy), sorting by location will sort events by their distance from your current location. Sweet, huh? (If you don't grant permission, sorting by location is done alphabetically by location name.) • The app is now localised into French, because I've been learning French. German next! If you spot an error, please get in touch via Twitter: @WhensThatApp • Dates, times, temperatures etc. all now use your device's region settings. • Weather details are now in your preferred language. Tu vas avoir très froid dans cette robe! (That's your actual French.) • You're now asked if you want to lose any changes you've made to an event. • New button in the top-right to edit an event when it's displayed full-screen. • In the events list the cover event now has a swipe option to show it as the cover, as if you'd tapped the button at the top of the list. • Complete rewrite of the way data is stored and retrieved. • Multiple little issues in the background have been fixed. Some of your settings might have been reset to their defaults, like showing temperatures in Fahrenheit rather than Celsius. Sorry about that; just pop into the Settings screen and change them. Some bugfixes: • Fixed: When you get a notification that it's time for an event, tapping it shows you that event full-screen. • Fixed: When you deleted all events from your iPhone, the Watch would say it was loading events. It now says there aren't any, which is a little less 'fake news'. • Fixed: Authentication, if enabled, is now performed before the main events screen is displayed, so you shouldn't see a flicker of the events before it appears. • Fixed: The app icon shortcuts weren't working, so you couldn't create a new event or view the cover event by holding down on the icon. For shame! • Fixed: The file sizes for images sent to the Watch were waaaayyyy too large for my liking: Squished! Should be about 10x quicker to transfer now: Bonza! • It wouldn't be an update if there weren't weather fixes!: •• Fixed: Sunrise & sunset times in the weather screen didn't take account of your current timezone, so sunrise could maddeningly be at 11pm. It now correctly shows the times at the event's location. •• Fixed: The wind direction is meteorological - 315º is a NW wind gusting towards SE - so the arrow should point where it's going to, not where it's coming from. •• Fixed: When enabling weather on an event for a new location you would get an error message while it was in the process of being retrieved. This was absurd, and the error has been banished. 4.0 10/25/2020 • Expanded weather details! You can now see extra information such as humidity, air pressure, wind speed & direction etc. You can access it in a few simple ways: •• iPhone: Long-press on the weather icon in the cover event at the top of the event list. •• iPad: Long-press on the weather icon in the cover event details - shown to the right of the event list when in landscape, or in full-screen when in portrait. •• All devices: Long-press on an event in the list to show the contextual menu, and select "Show Weather". •• Or, if you're showing the cover event full-screen, just swipe the screen and the weather details will be there! • You can close the weather view like you close the cover view, with a tap of the button at the top, or with a two-finger swipe down. • You can now choose whether your font applies to just the event's name or all text, such as the date, location, weather, etc. There's a new switch in the edit/create event screen. •• Note: I will not - and I'll repeat that - *not* be held responsible for the monstrosities that some of the more flamboyant fonts can produce. I'm looking at you, Zapfino. • The cover event shown at the top of the events list on the iPhone has been completely re-written so it better handles different device sizes. • Complications on the Watch now show the time remaining, too, if possible. Some bugfixes: • Fixed: We were unnecessarily sending all event data to the Watch after you'd edited an event, even if your changes didn't affect the display of the event on the Watch. • Fixed: The contextual menu that appears when you long press on an event would sometimes not show an option for showing weather & notes. It now has an option to "Show Details" (quick weather and notes), and the new one to "Show Weather". • Fixed: Due to a tiny bug one of the complications on the Watch didn't work. At all. • Fixed: On the Watch, the cover event and complications now properly show your chosen format, i.e. "3 days", "9w 4d", or "1y 3w 6d". • Fixed: If you deleted and re-installed the Watch app, the cover event's image at the top of the list wouldn't show for ages. • Fixed: If you deleted all events, it wasn't possible to add any new ones. • Fixed: Installing the app on the iPad for the first time would show the wrong text when you rotated the device. • Fixed: One of the authentication code options in the Settings screen sometimes didn't display the keyboard. 3.2 05/08/2020 • The search bar was using up a little too much space, so there's now a button to start searching. On the iPhone it's in the top left corner. On the iPad it's by the Settings button. • Those swanky new contextual menus from iOS 13 are now available in the event list and on events in your search results. They replace the long press gesture on events that showed weather and notes. The contextual menu now has an option for that. • You can now delete an existing event whilst editing it. There's a button at the bottom of the edit screen. • Fixed a bug on the iPad where the app may crash if the iPad is in portrait orientation. • In events on the Watch app, notes are now displayed below the event image, as they were being cut off. • Due to various changes and improvements, the minimum supported versions are now iOS 13 and watchOS 4. 3.1 04/13/2020 • Added categories: Cruise and Day Trip. • Updated icons for some categories. • On some Apple Watch complications, the time is now displayed when there are 0 days remaining. 3.0.4 02/16/2020 - If your cover event's image is quite bright you may not easily see the notes, so hold your finger down on the notes field and its background will dim. - Changed the way you edit an event. Some people would accidentally edit an event whilst scrolling, because it just needed a tap. Now, just swipe the event to the right and tap the new edit button, or keep swiping to start editing. - There's also a new preview button when you swipe. Tap it to see that event as though it's the cover event. It doesn't change which event is the cover event, but it allows you to see all the info about that event without changing it to the cover event, or editing it. - Fixed: The number of days shown in the list of events wasn't updated when you added a new event, so it showed as "0d". 3.0.3 02/06/2020 - Another fix for the time displayed for really, really old events, and really, really far in the future events. Recent updates: - Supports Dark Mode! - You can now set an authentication code to lock your events. If your device has biometric security that will be used instead. You still need to set a code in case biometrics fail. - More improvements to retrieving and displaying the weather. - New icons for the weather and categories if you're on iOS 13. - Performing a long press (not a force touch) on an event in the list will show you the weather for that location, any notes for that event, and the time remaining. - New categories: Appointment, Business, Celebration, Ceremony, Computing, DIY, Entertainment, Gaming, Home, Music, Personal, Religion, Shopping, and Vacation. - Added the cover event's date to the display at the top of the list. - Lots of behind-the-scenes enhancements. - Bumped the minimum versions of iOS and watchOS to 12.0 and 4.0 respectively. 3.0.2 11/18/2019 - Fix for the time displayed for really, really old events, and really, really far in the future events. - Fixed a crash when taking a photo for an event. New in version 3.0: - Supports Dark Mode! - You can now set an authentication code to lock your events. If your device has biometric security that will be used instead. You still need to set a code in case biometrics fail. - More improvements to retrieving and displaying the weather. - New icons for the weather and categories if you're on iOS 13. - Performing a long press (not a force touch) on an event in the list will show you the weather for that location, any notes for that event, and the time remaining. - New categories: Appointment, Business, Celebration, Ceremony, Computing, DIY, Entertainment, Gaming, Home, Music, Personal, Religion, Shopping, and Vacation. - Added the cover event's date to the display at the top of the list. - Lots of behind-the-scenes enhancements. - Bumped the minimum versions of iOS and watchOS to 12.0 and 4.0 respectively. 3.0.1 10/23/2019 - Supports Dark Mode! - You can now set an authentication code to lock your events. If your device has biometric security that will be used instead. You still need to set a code in case biometrics fail. - More improvements to retrieving and displaying the weather. - New icons for the weather and categories if you're on iOS 13. - Performing a long press (not a force touch) on an event in the list will show you the weather description for that location, any notes for that event, and the time remaining. - New categories: Appointment, Business, Celebration, Ceremony, Computing, DIY, Entertainment, Gaming, Home, Music, Personal, Religion, Shopping, and Vacation. - Added the cover event's date to the display at the top of the list. - Lots of behind-the-scenes enhancements. - Bumped the minimum versions of iOS and watchOS to 12.0 and 4.0 respectively. 3.0 10/14/2019 The blurred visual effect underneath the countdown timer obscured your background image, so you can now choose whether the banner is displayed by editing your event. There's a new switch at the bottom. The default is off. 2.1.1 05/28/2019 - Lots of improvements for the Watch app: • The Watch app now shows the most up-to-date event information, and you shouldn't see the "No events" screen again (unless you actually do have no events, of course). • It now shows countdown timers according to your preferences from the iPhone app, e.g. "3w 4d". • Making changes on your Watch will be reflected in the iPhone app, even if it's in the background. • You can force touch any of the Watch screens to refresh your events, if you need to. • You can see when the Watch is applying changes, and there's a last updated date at the bottom of the events list. - Added a privacy switch in Settings so Watch complications can show or hide your cover event when the Watch is locked. - A few internal optimisations that vastly speed up entering the iOS app. 2.1 11/15/2018 - Added lots of different complications for your Apple Watch! - Timers no longer show zero years or weeks if it's not necessary to do so. - Added an edit button on the cover view above the list, so you can edit the cover event quickly, instead of scrolling through the list to find it. - Removed support for watchOS 2 and 3. watchOS4 and above are so much faster and better! 2.0.6 10/16/2018 - Updated for new screen sizes. - Redesigned the list of events on the iPhone. - Fixed a small bug when editing an event and cancelling. 2.0.5 09/17/2018
