Wish ALL E Calendars Were This Great, June 23, 2011
This review is from: Calendar (Kindle Edition)
Along with the other comments in regards to ease of navigation I absolutely LOVE that this app #1 Gives me so many options to repeat an event. Not only weekly or monthly but every 4th Wed or whatever it even allows you to repeat an event for the exact number of days you need it to (make sure to set start date and end date in the middle of the event entry screen). #2 Uses a ballon to show birthdays a mark to show events and a star to show favorites (like vacation time).#3 Already has all holidays built into it. #4 Allows you to see all the events you have easily for the month. #5 Lets you see whats going on during a particular day just by highlighting the day no need to click on the day shows in bottom 1/3 of screen. #6Lets you choose your background. Not much excitement to it but I still love that it allows you to personalize it a bit.
This really is a great app I highly reccomend this along with sticky notes and you wont need anything else to organize yourself.

Balloons for Birthdays!, June 26, 2011
This review is from: Calendar (Kindle Edition)
This is a very clever app and is useful for many day to day activities, especially if you don't otherwise keep a digital calendar. The things I like:
1) Recurring events. This limits the number of times you have to make entries. For example, if you have to pick up a friend at the same time every Tuesday, you can just enter the event once, and tell it to repeat weekly. (There are options to repeat yearly on a date, etc. I'm excited that there's a "first [e.g., Wednesday] option!)
2) "To Do" lists. These can repeat also (e.g., "check air conditioning filter" monthly, etc.)
3) US holidays are already marked.
4) List view for events and "to do."
5) This app gets more into the month view than many I've seen for other devices, there's:
- an "H" for holidays
- a balloon for birthdays
- a check mark for a "to do" item
- a bar that shows if there's a scheduled event (the location of the bar gives you an approximation of the time).
6) Last but not least - ease of use. I have now read the instructions, but actually did not get around to doing so until after I'd made most of my entries. I could have saved myself a bit of time if I'd read the directions first, but most things are pretty intuitive.
Things that limit usefulness:
No sync with Google calendar, etc. No points off for this as I suspect that it may not be possible with the current Kindle set-up. The absence of a sync doesn't hurt if you do not otherwise use a digital calendar. However, I'm already keeping an office calendar, and entering work events yet another time is not going to happen. I'm limiting the Kindle's calendar to personal stuff.

Very easy to navigate, June 23, 2011
This review is from: Calendar (Kindle Edition)
I'm ditching my version of Calendar Pro (sorry, Jujuba Software) for this version by 7 Dragons. LOVE it~ Much easier to navigate and much more user-friendly. I also like how it's easier to see the "big picture"... the calendar will show in the top half of the Kindle screen, with the events listed at the bottom. No need to click on a specific day to see what the events are. I also like how you can choose different backgrounds, even though I'm sticking with the pre-set spiral pad. Thanks 7 Dragons!
