One point - when compressing the view I care for rare events (e.g. deadlines, conferences) not things like gym. So I would do the opposite of adding counts. (The same, when I do something daily and I compress days to a single line, I DO NOT want to see it.)

Hi everone, Thanks for all the great feedback. Anyone applying for Beta-testing will have to wait a few hours. Got my hand full :) Feel free to use the contact form for any questions or if you just want the IPhone version. Cheers, Peter

Hi Peter,

iPhone is written with lowercase "i", not uppercase. It is very worrying that wrong spelling is used on the site as well. I hope that application is much better than the spelling on the site.

Thanks.

Looks pretty nice. Some criticisms: * I dislike how the website hijacks scrolling, the phone doesn't fit on a Macbook 13" screen so I tried to scroll down, but that just scrolled in the app * When scrolling out to a view where I see many months at once it can only show a few events, in the demo it only shows Gym, and when I zoom in a bit more it also shows Hockey with kids. I feel these recurring events should have t…

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Sorry for hijacking the scroll, but it just had to be done :) Your second point on recurring events is good, I will look at that. Even more so the last point, that one is really important, but I haven't found a good way to solve it yet. Thanks /Peter

I agree with the parent on the scrolling issue, it's quite confusing and unusable to me.

If the worst thing about this product is that it doesn't follow Apple's brand guidelines, then it will be an excellent app. I agree that it's a bug but it's hardly "very worrying". The demo is excellent.

Hi all. Just wanted to show you my latest side project (been working on it for a couple of years now). It's a calendar app with a twist. It's developed as a web app, thats wy it could be integrated directly on the landing page. It can also be run on any device directly from http://app.oneviewcalendar.com Instead of the traditional monthview and day view I have used a timeline that is zoomable and scrollable. Give it…

I like the idea but semantically, this is confusing. If I want to scroll, it zooms in/out. Even that, it doesn't keep the focus making me wanting to really scroll. Now I'm really confused how to scroll. (I know how but I'm giving you the cognitive load that's necessary here). What would be cool is to use zoom gestures to ....zoom . That is completely intuitive. Aside from that, vertical bars take too much screen spac…

It’s scroll-jacking to let users without a touchpad to zoom in and out. I expect the mobile/touch version to be way more sensible.

Unusable? Really?

It's an excellent idea to have a calendar that can be zoomed without steps. You just got to think of a way to make it easier for user to know how to scroll and zoom. Maybe two finger swipe should be scrolling and one finger swipe zoom? I don't know, but please keep up the good work.
