Hi,

I am the Pure calendar developer.

If you have any problem or request, please, post here.
I'll be happy to help !

Summary

Pure calendar widget can show on your home screen all your Google calendar informations and even tasks from Astrid or gTasks.
From the widget, you can open official applications (Google calendar, Moto Corporate calendar, Astrid, gTasks), add events or tasks.
You have a lot of widget sizes available from 2x2 to 4x4.
It is fully skinnable to fit your Home screen design.

Nota 1 : tasks are synced RTM (Astrid) or Google tasks (gTasks)

hi - i find it confusing that the time line marks are above the numbers rather than below. is that a Euro convention? in the US we normally have the date in the top of a calendar box.

i have alarms etc set thru the Google calendar i use, so i don't see a need to repeat that via the widget, altho i imagine that many users would enjoy it.

For timelines, it 'Pure GRID calendar' (I'll create another topic later since they are completly separated apps). But I agree with your remark, and I'll make it optionnal soon.

Thanks for your answer about reminder management.

Hello "Pure Calendar" Developer! PLEASE PLEASEadd a feature, if it isn't already on Pure Calendar (haven't purchased yet because haven't heard that it is), that allows me to easily enter events that have odd repetition, such as every two weeks or every three days, etc... PLEASE! I will pay (almost) ANYTHING for a calendar app that does this! Of course, without deleting any of the other features you already have, start time, end time, etc etc...

Sync directly to RTM Android app without using Astrid as a mediator.

If I do that, people will ask an interface to fill information, and I don't want to redevelope everything Astrid as already done.
So ... I don't think that' it will be a good idea. If I well remember Astrid took many month to be developed.

I know, many people ask for this.
I tried ... and I failed.
May I'll give another chance to this feature during next weeks.

I agree with nertzie on the time interval thing. Hopefully you can get it to work.

Can you make it on Calendar Grid to scroll through the 30 day calendar without opening the calendar app, like on the Hero?

Good work, thanks!

For Pure grid scrolling, it already works !
Just tap the first or last cell...

But swipe control is impossible in stock Home.

just want to say this is one of my favorite apps! good work!

thanks !

Great app iam only having one problem which i think is a "lockbot" issue but not sure when i wake up every morning i get a force close for pure calendar if i click wait and unlock the device the date automatically changes right away and everything is fine.

try few days without 'lockbot', you'll get the answer :p

It would be great to have the grid calendar (and/or the list calendar) able to open to a full screen when a single icon is pressed. I have a lot of icons on my Hero's various screens and, whilst I really like both calendar apps (grid widget is much better than the stock app), I sometimes wish I didn't have to fill a whole screen with the grid widget. I know that seems counterintuitive, as the widget is supposed to save you opening an app, but it functions better than the stock app and I'd like to keep it as an app, rather than a widget.

Does that make sense!?

Yes, I understand.
But I don't have time or envy to realize full apps (instead of widgets).
And I already know that if I start that kind of dev, people will ask for lot of more features (week view ... day view ...).

I'm a new Android user and a new Sprint HTC Hero owner...

...I like the style and functionality of your widget. I downloaded it to my Hero but I have not been able to launch the application.

Can you please help me out?

How do I launch it and how do I set it as the default calendar?

It says download was a success and that it is done. It shows the app (widget, shortcut) but every time and press on it to launch it takes me to the download screen info.

Also it is able to sync with the Google calendar?

Thanks for the help
