About Events

An event is anything you want to schedule on your Calendar. An event can be a doctor's appointment, a birthday or anniversary, a tennis game with a friend, a dinner date, anything you want to schedule. If you want, your device can remind you of an event by vibrating, flashing, or playing a ringtone. You can also set an event to repeat automatically, like someone's birthday once a year.

To get going immediately, follow the instructions in Event Details Screen.
