This is great. Keep it up, it can only serve to improve the overall
performance of the BN/VN.

I would have sometimes three to four appointments per day, as I run a small
business. At the moment, the planner is nowhere near up to the job, so
therefore, I don't have a planner which I could send you, since I use
currently more capable devices.

Usually, I retain it, but I would like to see a user-definable amount of
time by which past appointments could be deleted automatically as an option.

Absolutely.

Recurring appointments for a start. But not just the obvious ones, daily,
monthly, yearly etc, I would like to see every number of days, for example
28 days, every 3rd Wednesday etc. There is a heck of a lot more you could
do with the planner. I would also like to see an option for example,
whereby, if you had anniversary type appointments, such as birthdays, you
could have a user-definable number of days' warning before the
appointment. Another type of recurring appoingment I would like to see is
working days, with an option to specify your starting and ending working
day. Finally, I would like to see a last day of the month appointment,
regardless as to which the last day is. For example, February can have 28
or 29 days, October has 31. I would like the BN to work out the last day
of each month, regardless of the day number.
OK, a lot of things, but I am not asking the impossible, since I already
have a planner that does all this <Smile..

As I said earlier, I can't do this unfortunately, since the planner is not
yet capable enough for my busy life <Smile>. But I really do hope these
comments do go some way to help us improve it.
Again Jonathan, thank you very much for asking us these questions, and
listening to all the feedback, it certainly is appreciated.
All the best
