Wow, I wonder how you did that? I wonder how you got one month on the top half and another on the bottom half. I have had zero problems with the pass through gesture when I placed my finger on the day ticker. Sometimes I don’t do it just right but I get it the second time. :) I also could not “see” a red title but I knew the title had to be up at the top and so I got it to work. Funny thing is that I don’t remember what that was for, maybe it was to look up a specific day. I am on an iPhone 5S and maybe the pass through gesture is more responsive?
I hope you can find the app helpful. :) On Oct 31, 2013, at 7:38 PM, Richard Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, Christina, you must be a pass-through gesture wizard.
