   Hiya — just started using your App and I’ve added a future recur­ring event. The event spans over the end of Day­light Sav­ing Time. The first time it shows on the cal­en­dar after the end of DST, the appt time rolls back an hour. Instead of the appt start­ing at 8:30a, it starts at 7:30a. I’ve looked for a DST set­ting to see if I can over­ride what the cal­en­dar is doing, but don’t see one. The cal­en­dar knows that DST ends on Nov 3rd, because the appt time changed that week and the fol­low­ing 3 weeks I have scheduled.

   Thanks for look­ing in to this,
   Michele

     Hi Michele,

     Thank you for reach­ing out to us.

     We have fixed this issue in our 6.0.1 update which will be avail­able today from the Apple App Store. The fix will pre­vent this issue from hap­pen­ing again when cre­at­ing new repeat sched­ules. To cor­rect your prob­lem, since you have already cre­ated the sched­ule for your event, you can sim­ply open the sched­ule detail for that event and tap the “Save” but­ton (with­out chang­ing any­thing). This will recom­pute the the sched­ule and will fix your issue.

     We are sorry for any inconvenience.

     Best regards,
     Team LightArrow

   Hi,

   I see that when you cre­ate an event, you can “add item”. I was won­der­ing
   if it’s pos­si­ble to “add item” in reg­u­lar sched­ul­ing (eg. some­thing put into
   your sched­ule in Ical).

   Thanks for your time,
   Jeremy

     Hi Jeremy,

     You can add a task or an appoint­ment to your Life­Topix event and then set a repeat sched­ule to the task/appointment. The event and the repeat­ing tasks/appointments will show up in your iOS device Cal­en­dar app.

     Or are you ask­ing if you can use the “Add Item” fea­ture to a device event vis­i­ble in LifeTopix?

     Best regards,

   Can I copy or dupli­cate an event? My kids have sport­ing events weekly, but they don’t repeat con­sis­tently and it would be help­ful to be able to cre­ate an event, copy it, and just change the date and time.

     Hi Phillip,
     Thanks for the ques­tion. We do sup­port copy for tasks (fromt he detail view, action icon at bot­tom). We plan to add copy for projects, events, and appoint­ments in the near future.

   Life­topix imported mul­ti­ple cal­en­dars from my iPhone cal­en­dar app. When I am adding an event to the Life­topix cal­en­dar, how do I assign that event to par­tic­u­lar calendar?

     Hi Phillip,
     If you got to Set­tings in Life­Topix (gear icon acces­si­ble from bot­tom left arrow menu) and then go into My Set­tings, you’ll see an option for Default Device Cal­en­dar. From there, you can select the one you want Life­Topix to cre­ate items in.

       I use the dif­fer­ent cal­en­dars to sync to Google Cal­en­dar, which is our main “fam­ily” cal­en­dar. Dif­fer­ent cal­en­dars rep­re­sent dif­fer­ent sched­ules, such as “Maddie’s” events, “Jake’s” events, “Vaca­tion”, etc… So are you say­ing that each time I want to assign an event to a dif­fer­ent cal­en­dar I have to go to the setup menu and choose a dif­fer­ent default cal­en­dar? Is there no easy way to assign a cal­en­dar to an event as I am cre­at­ing the event?

         Hi Phillip,
         You are cor­rect — right now the tar­get cal­en­dar is set at a sys­tem level. We do plan to allow set­ting it by item as well as cat­e­gory in the future.
         We do allow for the device cal­en­dar event to be opened from Home (What’s Next), My Cal­en­dar, etc., so that you can change the cal­en­dar for the event as a short term fix.
         Best regards,

   I would love to see exam­ple posts on appoint­ments vs events and how ios cal­en­dar comes into play. I am get­ting con­fused on how the three work together. I had an appoint­ment and found myself want­ing to attach notes and real­ized attach­ments could only be done with events.

     Hi Betty,
     In the sim­plest terms, in Life­Topix, an appointent is some­thing like an eye exam or a lunch meet­ing with a client, whereas an event is more involved (host­ing or attend­ing), like a birth­day party, or an open house, etc, where within the event itself, things such as notes, tasks, reminders, check­lists, shop­ping, ser­vices etc. can be asso­ci­ated. Device cal­en­dar items can be seen in Life­Topix in the What’s Next, My Cal­en­dar, and Events views, and can be con­verted into Life­Topix items when you wish to man­age them more like a Life­Topix item (Trip, Visit, Event, Project, Task, etc.).
     We like your advice of mak­ing a blog post and/or video on this topic, and will do so in the near future.
     Best regards,
     Team LightArrow
