How good is the calendar app? Can anyone comment on the Calendar application?

The Calendar function that comes with the iPod Touch is pretty basic: You add appointments by clicking on the "+" sign up in the upper right hand corner and you can add "title," "location," "start & end" times (though you can only go in 5-minute increments i.e. 1:00, 1:05, 1:10....etc.); set event to "Repeat"--daily, weekly, every 2-weeks, monthly, yearly; set an audible "Alert"--5, 15, 30-minutes before or 1,2-hours before or 1,2-days before, or on the date of event. And you can add detailed "Notes" on the event as well. You can view "list"--which lists all of your appointments; "day"--that lists the current day or the day you select by the hour and shows any appointments that you've added; "month"--shows you the monthly view, the current day is selected but you may choose any day and that will highlight so there's a viewable difference, and any appointments that you've added will have a "dot" on them. When you highlight that date a brief description will show up on the bottom of the screen. It's pretty decent though I still use my cell phone to put in appointments because I don't always have my Ipod around. There's also a "contact" app on the ipod where you can store name, addresses, phone numbers, email address and website URL's, a photo for the person, and an open field to add whatever. this is my first iPod and I love it. As long as you have a wifi connection you can really take advantage of the many apps that are available--most for free or a one time fee of .99-2.99--you don't need a wifi to use the "calendar" or "contacts" app--so you can skip the high fees from cell phones and data plans! There might be a fancier calendar app available for download but I haven't looked into that. Sorry if you get two posts from me, but my first response didn't show all of the details so I had to edit it!

If you are talking about event entries for 2015, the answer is yes. I already have many appointments for 2015 entered. There are other issues with it and they are posted in an earlier comment. I still use it, however.

There were various calendars in the software but they seem to all be templates - none of which I could work with. I was looking to make a customized 11X17 calendar which I could fold and staple. I saw no way this program could even come close to fitting my needs. I'm not the brightest guy in the world - but I'm no dummy either. This limited software did not even meet my minimal expectations.

I have been using it with android devices (both tablet and phone). The first versions were really bad, the latest is very good. Also, any new update is first released for IOS and months (!) later to Android

No, it does not include monthly calendars for each month. That is the one downside to this calendar, and the reason I will be more careful when ordering calendars in the future.

I am sorry I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean in the printed calendars or within the software screen representation of the events?

There ia a weather app, clock, browser for Internet, calendar, camera, calculator, gmail ( or access your own on Internet), file browser to manage files and apps (I use the already installed OfficeSuite like Word. Prude this browser to install apps and to backup to your SD card. Also you can play and manage audio files from the "my music app, and there is a video app, my photo,gallery,task manager,settings. I hope this is helpful.

Hello, We have checked and the calendars are now 2015. You should receive the 2015 when you place the new order. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

For ever thing I need it for it works fine I can get on the net with it work on office documents using Microsoft Office and it has outlook which i use for mail and calendar. You are right about it not running any application that are not in the store. If it had Access Database that would even be better.

I think it only has eight events. On and off, 8 times in 24 hours. If I understand your question the answer would be no because you have to put a "time into it... "3:oopm. You need something that "cycles"

Depends on what you want, of course. It's more useful and functional than a keypad-only phone. Calendar is fine, I had no trouble with alarms etc. I used it as my mp3 player for a while, so that works well too. But it is NOT a smart/android phone -- just looks like one. Ultimately, it works fine for calling, keeping appts, playing music and maybe texting -- though I didn't like the virtual keyboard very much.

Karin, I've used this a couple times and it depends what APP you use with it. The best APP I've seen is Tourque Lite. It has a lot of real-time features. Tourque Pro costs about $5, but gives you more features. Good luck!

I use it as a one year "rolling" calendar. Months are pre-written, just add appropriate year to see out one year from current month.

Wilbur...I am not familiar with the fact that a calendar & contact list are "required". I didn't have this issue as well as having to enter e-mail address and password to access the software. If you think you are having issues with the software try uninstalling and then install again. Otherwise, you may have bad software and will need to contact Amazon or Individual Software. I have found 'AnyTime' to be glitchy and fraught with problems, so no surprises when I read others having issues. Poor quality product. Good luck!

Not exactly in the sense you mean. It has a fairly extensive budgeting function but I've never used it so I can't vouch for it. All I can say from experience is that the program has worked very well for my needs except for a couple of minor nagging issues that I really should contact the vendor about as there is probably a solution already out there.

My wife uses it for scrap booking. Which utilizes lots of large applications. It will be a good system for you.

Not sure,but on a different note,many numbers were missing from my calendar.A calendar clearly does not work with missing numbers.If you read the reviews,others had similar problems.All the same,it is very cute,so I ended up donating it to a preschool class and the teacher just bought cardstock from our local Staples Store,and made up her own numbers.The kids do really love it!
