myWeek brings you, in a single application, the possibilities to handle all your Birthdays (from Contacts App), all your Events (from the Calendar App) and ToDo’s with a nice week based Overview. In Portrait-Mode the week is displayed as 7-Day Overview, with a separate Area for the ToDo’s. In Landscape you see the same week with an hour-based overview. The Birthday-View shows all Events sorted by Month and Day – showing the Date, the Name and Age of the Person. The ToDo’s can be assigned to a specific Calendar – so you can distinguish them. Add the Name of a possible contact for the ToDo directly from within the Contacts-App. There are supplemental Views for the Year – sorted by Week. A Month- and a Day-View. A Search-View that shows the events from the selected Year and a Calendar-View allowing ‘to select’ which Events to show or not. All the settings can be reached directly from within the original Preferences Pane, it's important to properly close myWeek, otherwise the changes in the preferences will not be loaded. *** NOTE *** For all those Users experiencing troubles with the Birthday-View, please make sure that all Contacts are associated to a Group, with the next release this behavior will be addressed.
