Your whole week in one place: your club's matches, what's on near you, your time off, your loved ones' birthdays and your everyday reminders. Keep everything in the app, or also add it to your iPhone Calendar: the choice is yours. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE Open FacilAbo and you instantly know what's ahead: * today, this week and the next 30 days, on one screen * the upcoming matches and latest results of your Ligue 1 or Top 14 club * your important reminders, even on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island * the nearest pharmacy, in one tap Keep only what you need: your screen stays as simple as you want. NOTHING FORGOTTEN ANYMORE FacilAbo reminds you at the right time: * before a free trial turns paid, or before a subscription renews * for a loved one's birthday, even if they are not in your contacts * for your workout or your health routine One reminder of each type is on us. Your birthdays can also appear in your iPhone Calendar. WHAT'S ON NEAR YOU Markets, fairs, festivals, cultural and free outings, heritage, sports: enter your town and see everything happening around you, right next door or all over France.
