Many people have lots of things to keep track of, which they don’t necessarily want cluttering up their day-to-day calendar. EventHorizon is great for those:
* Birthdays, anniversaries from your address book.
* Expiry dates for documents, etc (do you know when your passport or driving licence expires?)
* Regular payment reminders, etc
* Deadlines

How is this helpful if we can’t import into the calendar app?

Version 1.1.0 of EventHorizon now allows you to choose between 12 and 24-hour time for your events.

Charles,
Of course, the flip side of that would be to start with a calendar item, then attach information drawn from my contacts list.

I’m puzzled as to why this isn’t a native capability of the iPhone and me.com’s calendar and contacts lists. It’d seem to be a no-brainer, akin to the seamless integrations with the mapping software and contacts.

I’m sure they’d like you to do their heavy lifting.

Go for it, please

Hi Ben,

EventHorizon doesn’t currently do that, but it sounds interesting so I will look into it.

One thing the iPhone’s native apps won’t do is create calendar events using contacts. For instance, I would like to go to my contacts list, find my dentist, then create a calendar event from that point. The calendar then would display the event plus it would prefill it with any relevant contact info.

Does Event Horizon exploit this potential? I haven’t yet downloaded this new app.

I am the author of EventHorizon, thanks for the review and feedback. I will add an option for 12/24hr times in a future update, for people who don’t like “army time”

Also, if you want to track birthdays for people who are *not* in your address book, you can always just create a new category called Birthdays and put them in there, same goes for anniversaries.
