An introduction to VantagePoint
VantagePoint is not your average calendar app. VantagePoint combines classic concepts and new ideas in a
quite unique way. As we're sure you'll agree, it's never been more important to know exactly what the road ahead brings, thankfully
with VantagePoint in your pocket, the journey is just that little bit clearer
As you may have already guessed, the main concept behind
VantagePoint is to give users a more powerful
alternative to those applications already available. You may draw one or two small similarities with
another, more basic calendar app since this is not our first foray into the market.
From the feedback we gathered on a previous project co-developed by ourselves we now know the needs of our customers and
have taken steps to ensure those needs are met with
VantagePoint.
Powerful Calendar System
VantagePoint supports several invaluable ways of viewing
your calendar data. It's possible to view your data
in a Daily, Weekly, Monthly and also a Quarterly
(3 Month) view, each view has been designed
to be clear and easy to read at-a-glance.
All of these different views on your calendar are
available via a clean and simple main menu
which serves as a central hub for all your data.
Flexible Event Tracking
Plan weeks, months and even years in advance with
VantagePoint's powerful event creation & management system!
Support for many types of events is built-in to VanatagePoint,
from appointments to work shifts!
A number of additional fields you can track all kinds of extra
data such as the event location, priority and also add text notes
to remind you of any additional details you may not be able
to
input elsewhere.
Always Find Your Way
When you specify a location for an event (either entered manually or pulled
from one of your contacts), VantagePoint is able to use this information to
display the location on a map and also pass the required
information along to Google Maps to plot a route from
your current location (via the iPhone's built-in GPS) to
the location at which your event takes place!
An innovative feature that we expect other calendar
applications will soon replicate - you saw it here first!
Repeat Events Made Easy
VantagePoint allows for simple and quick creation of
events that are repeated! Simply set the duration of the
event using one of the four types of event format and then
set the event to repeat as required using the
comprehensive controls provided!
Simply set the repeat interval period and the number of
times you need the event repeated and your're done!
Repeated events form a chain which can be extended
or reduced if needed.
Filter Events by Priority
If like many people, your life is filled with a seemingly never ending list
of things to do or places to be then we're sure you'll agree that
sometimes it's hard to prioritise. Well you no longer need to worry!
Every event in VantagePoint is given a priority, either Low, Medium or
High. These events can then be filtered on any of the calendar views
so that
you only see the top priority events, or for that matter only the
normal or low priority events on their own. This feature is handled by
a simple overlay which gives you the control that you need.
Find What you Need, Quickly
Another useful feature of VantagePoint is the ability to quickly jump to a
particular date of your choosing, this removes the need to browse through
a potenially endless amount of information.
The process is handled via a very simple picker and is available on
every screen within the calendar. This system maintains the view which
you are currently using, so if you're viewing your calendar by the month
once you use the feature the date you picked will be displayed in
that same month view.
Holiday Definition Updates
VantagePoint affords you an at-a-glance view
of all the public holidays you that you have due.
Grouped by month, holidays are clearly
displayed along with details such as the name
and date of the holiday plus the number of
events you have planned on that given day.
VantagePoint clearly and concisely displays
all the information that you'll need to make the
most of those days that we all look forward to!
Holidays definition updates are periodically
released by ourselves and are available
totally
free of charge.

user experience with VantagePoint and to that end we're

Never Miss Another Birthday!
We've all done it - missed a loved one's big day, but never again!
VantagePoint, syncronises with all of your contacts and displays those
with a date of birth in a simple and easy to read list with all the info that
you need to ensure you never miss them again!
For each contact their age at their next birthday is displayed along with
the date of their birthday and a countdown to the big day! If you do
manage to miss their birthday, you can view a list of recent birthdays
and call them directly from VantagePoint too!
