iCal dump...what is that?
Photo editor would more suit the young crew showing off their cars on the social media sites than old duffers like you and me....Rag_it already did a pic from the app and added to FB....he must be young and cool haha

Indeed I'm an old duffer...

iCal is Apples calendar system. It would allow your events to show up on the devices calendar, possibly. I simplifying I expect.

As aside, iCalendar is a platform agnostic calendar import export format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar

The app pushes the data to iPhone calendar but must be updated in app....calendar on phone pings the reminders when due. Is that the same thing

[Ferg]

sounds good

Does the app work on a Macbook Air Andy?

Update....(this is my first app so bear with me!)....looks like I can gift some apps and have codes!
If you want a free copy of the app then pm me and it will be on a first come basis! In return can you please promote it to friends etc? There is no such thing as a free lunch

I will be a pikey and send a PM for the freebie version.

[andyc]

Jim...I'm almost offended by this since you have a Ferrari in your fleet and a micro light....but £1.49 is too much to part with.....pikey bugger lol. Once you have played with your free version I will be expecting great reviews in all those other car forums you trawl around

I need to look at the voucher thing tonight as not sure it is obvious when trying to buy....I'll get back about that later

I have coughed up the £1.49 fir it, so will have a look! Initial impressions are that it is a really good idea. Does it share via cloud the info to the same app in iphone/ipad/mac? If so that would be a great benefit.

I definitely think you want to offer a try before you buy route, Andy. Even at "just" £1.49, people will be suspicious, and it's more the principle.

If you have confidence in the app, offer a cut down version to let people assess for free. If they like, they will pay to upgrade to the multi-car version or whatever

Just my 2p as a relatively new apps user / buyer...

I agree with Campbell. I don't even mind if the free app is almost useless in real terms (eg only holds one car for 2months) as it just to get a feel for it, see how it works and that it doesn't annoy the hell out of me.
Must be an oldie thing as £1.49 is really an irrelevant small amount to spend on anything these days but for some reason it still matters. Our kids don't though, they buy songs off iTunes then realise it isn't even the version they wanted

Edited : But because it is you, I'll buy it anyway as it is a good idea.

£1.49 one off payment for app v's £1.50 one off payment for mot text only.....

Tut....sorry....ask the kids for an iPhone for Xmas

I am going to test icloud calendar more. I'm sure it will update to other devices like normal calendar entries but can't say for sure without a test. I will set a car up and see if my iPad calendar updates....then I will modify the dates and see if it updates. Apps on different drives isn't gonna work I don't think but not tried that yet so you never know haha

Quite difficult doing all this typing on iPhone whilst jumping out to patents evenings, Brownies then bath time and bed time for kids.....rock n roll

I am working on the code entry part got my newest SE downloader on the case hopefully

[tut]

I have a £7.50/month contract with T-Mobile Andy, so that will indicate how much I need an iPhone 5.

[andyc]

You just keep it old skool mate.....
But get young Tut to buy the app and can tell you when things are due

[andyc]

iCloud test....
Added date to app on iphone and after refresh of iPad calendar the entry was in there too...



Then updated within app on iPhone and refreshed iPad calendar...,hey presto



I guess iCloud takes care of things...Apple rocks lol

[andyc]
