I have 3 or 4 great birthday reminder apps, some with widgets, that look into the Contacts app and notify you of events. But there are holidays, like Father's Day, that don't make it into these apps as they're not in Contacts. That's because it would mean entering into each Father's a custom event that approximates the date only, as none of the applications handle holidays that fall on a certain day of a month, like Father's Day which falls on the 3rd Sunday each June. Unlike something like Christmas that falls on the 25th of each December, Father's Day would require an app that handles perpetual dates, as it were.
I don't enter global events such as this in the calendar app itself, either, as I have to work with an empty calendar before every yesterday. That means that in order for me to work efficiently and that is successful to me, I'm constantly keeping my apps current and not leaving any from before yesterday. So everything before today is blank (something that wouldn't remain that way for long if I started adding holiday and observance events).
The 3 calendars I have that are for holidays such as this don't allow for editing (they're read-only). And they're missing Father's Day so this solution hasn't worked out, either.
Does anyone know of something like an offline calendar or offline holiday reminder app that will generally work with birthday reminder apps? I spent 2 hours on this earlier today and have tried looking for the past year, off and on, for a solution to this type of thing, but nothing so far. The 2 calendar extension apps I found do a great job of turning the stock calendar into something spectacular but they don't have the option of adding in holidays like Father's Day.
Thanks.
