Korean YunaSoft Releases AwesomeCalendar 4.0, iCloud Sync and Online Backup

Millions of users are using YunaSoft Inc. AwesomeCalendar, the calendar application for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

The team behind it has packed more features into this tool with the launch of version 4.0. The latest update is available on the App Store.

“We created AwesomeCalendar to be a virtual personal assistant, so when users are away from the office, they have a handy, powerful application for keeping track of what needs to be done,” explained YunaSoft founder Robert Kwon. “The newly designed user interface allows for limitless customization, with almost no learning curve for newcomers. Users can create custom alarms, change item color codes, set priorities and add sub-tasks. They can even design event templates, eliminating the annoyance of typing in the same information for often-repeated events.”

It brings together three productivity tools: calendar, to-do list and diary. The company is helping iDevice owners save storage space and avoid the hassle of switching between multiple apps to manage their schedule. The updated diary feature puts to the test the old adage, “a picture’s worth a thousand words.” Users can attach photos to notes, creating a visual reference. The practical applications of these multimedia notes are limitless: product photos for a sales meeting, images of a broken part for maintenance personnel, and so on.

The latest version is optimized for iOS 7. The app syncs reminders automatically between multiple devices. Not only that, diaries are synced with Apple’s iCloud, an online backup; with cloud backup, important information is not lost forever when a phone breaks or gets dropped in water.

The to-do list feature has undergone improvements as well. List items that are left incomplete will roll over to the next day. Users can set up a repeating to-do for tasks that take place every day. As with all three of features, the to-do list is useful for both business and personal needs.

The company welcomes feedback and constructive criticism from users; many of the app’s features, such as the iCloud backup functionality, originated as user suggestions. The app first hit the App Store in November 2011; Future plans include versions of the app for Mac and Android.
