- Create your own NOTES for each calendar custom event or task displayed in an animated pop-up details window.

- DATE ENTRY view shows the day of the week and number of days in real-time.

- Selectively ENABLE / DISABLE the display of individual holidays or custom calendar events.

- Choose your DEFAULT ICON and DEFAULT COLOR to be used to represent new custom events.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

Customized calendar events / tasks are great for keeping track of your busy schedule with repeating events such as a birthday, anniversary, or meeting as well as an appointment, wedding, vacation, dinner, sporting event, doctor visit, graduation, party, and more.

Use the program as a task manager for todo tasks such as going to the store, making a phone call, or doing an errand. Phone numbers entered in the event notes can be clicked on to dial on the iPhone.

The closest holiday or custom event is always displayed first in a scrolling sorted list. By default when the date of a custom event has passed, it will display "expired" on the selection screens and will no longer display on the main screen.

When importing birthdays from your contacts, choose to import only new entries or also update previously imported birthdays. If the birthday has a note, it will be imported as well.

Increase the size of pictures or text in the pop-up details window using pinch gestures.

Traditional Holidays include New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Lincolns Birthday, Valentines Day, Presidents Day, St Patricks Day, Easter, Mothers Day, Memorial Day, Fathers Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Included Jewish holidays: Purim, Pesach, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, and Hanukkah.

Special Events include Daylight Saving Time start and end dates and Flag Day.

NOTE: WHILE THE ABILITY TO BE NOTIFIED OF UPCOMING EVENTS WITHOUT THE PROGRAM RUNNING IS A REQUESTED FEATURE, THE DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT A PROGRAM TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND, SO THIS IS CURRENTLY NOT POSSIBLE.

Additional features will be added, so we welcome your suggestions as to future enhancements of Holiday Countdown. Check out our Web site at www.EnergizeSoftware.com to see a video demo of Holiday Countdown in action or to explore the other programs we offer.
