ANNUAL EVENTS (new in 4.0)

To add one or more annual events, tap on the “hand and pen” symbol at the bottom of the Monthly View. In the new view, provide a month, a day, and a description. Then tap on the save button to save the information. You may enter as many events as you wish before closing this view. The days corresponding to these events are displayed in red in the Monthly View. If the selected day is beyond the number of days in that month, the event will be shown in the last day of that month.

To view the annual events associated with the red text, tap on the red text. All the events on that day will be displayed in a new view. The list can be scrolled in case all the events cannot fit in the view. You may delete an event by tapping on the event in the list and then on the “Delete Selected” button.
