Gemini Calendar - my vision of calendar software

[Polish Prince]

Thanks Powelll. I would still love to see a video of the voice widget in action.

Bump. Does the voice widget have any real functionality? I keep messing around with it, but can't seem to see any benefit in this.

O.K., here is the idea of the Voice Widget.

First, steps to create a widget:


1. You create a voice widget, that will act as a shortcut, with predefined parameters, like the time of saving voice event. You can select the desired, general time determiners, like "today, tomorrow" etc. and the hour and minute of the future voice events.
2. Then you can use a predefined widget to add a voice events by just saying something. The event will be stored in the calendar at the selected time. No need to enter/dictate the time and other parameters.

In other words, widget will spare you entering (or dictating by voice) the complicated parameters like hour, minute, date - instead, you use a predefined, general time determiners.

What is the benefit of such widget ? Well, think that you drive a car every day. When you commute, you can save new events for future reference (memos), these events can be reviewed after you are back home.

Hope it explains the matter. I will make a video presentation describing the Voice Widget in the near future.

Cool great app.

The voice widget is awesome. Now that you've explained it, I've used it twice today while on the road. I've got a business & personal one that syncs with my various calendars.

One business event was prompted by a customer call I received while driving & the personal one was an email I received (again while driving) regarding a website I maintain for the Elks.

Both issues didn't need to be entered in my calendar immediately, but the voice widget puts them on the appropriate calendar to remind me when I get home tonight.

Thanks!

Update: I used my voice widgets a total of 4 times today. Nice

I am glad you like it.
There will be a new release soon, keep in touch and post your ideas.
You may do it also on the UserVoice forum

Hi Powell,

Being able to change the calendar associated with an appointment is still a very desirable feature. I don't believe that any other calendar in the android market can do this. And it is clear (because of the appointment cut and paste capabilities) that you have already written most of the necessary code for moving appointments to a different calendar.

You could make this feature only for paid users

@mobilepaprika: Next releaase of Gemini Calendar probably is scheduled for the end of this week Stay tuned.

I can't even imagine what you might improve but I am really looking forward to finding out. I just love this calendar. Anyone who says another one is better hasn't given this one a real try.

Version 1.0.21 ready in the Google Play.

• Search function was added. Gemini Calendar now searches in the Title, Description and Location fields.
• Fixed Force Close while deleting/editing one event in series. This FC appeared in the Android ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)
• Some remaining strings were translated into the non-English languages.

 

[Polish Prince]

Woohoo! Search function works! Works EXTREMELY FAST! Wasn't expecting that in this update! Nice! Thanks!

 

[kokiangel]

Still loving this calendar but wondering if you are considering an option to adjust the widget transparency to suit the individual.

Looks great

love the calendar by far the best on i've tried so far. would it be possible to add icons to the days or change and add dots (like the red dot above the date) i would like to be able to see at a glance that all the days with a green dot, i did this, ones with a red dot, i did this. that would make it easier looking back and not having to go day by day. to see what i did. if you look at jorte it allows you to add icons to the day, so if i have practice, i could put a football/baseball icon ect... if i drove a truck at work i could put a truck icon. on paydays i could put a dollar sign or a pic of money. i know your space is limited so might be hard but that would make it perfect for me. also is it possible to have a list view of only the days that have something and an export option to print.

 

[Polish Prince]

Last Rites.. Powell has a separate forum for ideas.. suggestions.. etc.. See link a few posts above.

 

[Polish Prince]

Update is out! Love it. Thanks - You can change the calendar after the event is made now!

For anyone reading the latest reviews on the Play Store, you DO NOT have to purchase this again. Simply update the app, click menu..more...etc...

The unlocker app in the Play Store is ONLY for new customers.

 

[powell]

As Polish Prince already noticed, there is a new version available in the Google Play

Version 1.1.00.
Main changes include:

• Registration system has changed. If you have had Gemini Calendar registered before, you will still have it. Just register from the application.
• Unlock application is available in Google Play, (yes, Google added my country to the Merchants Lists, at last... no more PayPal),
  
• Existing events can be fully modified, that includes recurrence, calendar, date and time,
• Moving event to another calendar is possible, just edit event and select a new calendar from the list,
• Some changes in Add Event window design,
• Brand new launcher icon
  
• Other fixes

You can read more about new registration system here: Unlock key and other things

As a side note:
Right now, I am receiving a tons of emails from users, who think that sending registration request is enough to obtain a free application (they never paid for Gemini, they just want to check if I notice this). This slows everything down a little, but hey, I am not complaining.

Keep in touch, as always.

Please take no offense Powell, but I'm posting this screenshot for anyone who wants the old icon back. They can crop this screenshot & suck out the original icon with their favorite photo editor to get the original Gemini logo back.

 

[powell]

No offense at all. I am surprised that users liked the old icon so much, I will probably change the the current icon to something else when the new skin for Gemini is ready.

Here is the old icon, you may use it if you want (and know how to):

when the new skin for Gemini is ready.

"the" new skin, or "a" new skin to choose from if you wish? Hopefully the latter.

I love the original darker theme. That's going to be hard to beat.

Gosh do I love the ability to edit the Calendar associated with an event. So handy when I need to move an event from my personal calendar to one I share with my wife ... or vice versa.

Thanks again for adding this feature, Powell.

 

[powell]

I am glad you like it, jae_63
I hopeyou will like the coming new features as well. I hope new release will be ready soon.

Whats up with the new update?

It looks HORRIBLE - the colors looks "messed" up!!!

 

[Polish Prince]

Looks like Powell has temporarily yanked it from the Play Store.
