Extreme Agenda – Calendar and Todo is a new calendar / tasks combo app for the iPhone. A version of the app was popular on the Windows Mobile platform, and the developers have big plans for the iOS version it seems. Here’s more on the app from its App Store page:
Extreme Agenda is a premier Calendar Planner for your iDevice. Organize your busy life with great timesaving features in a hot new interface.
Features Include:
♦ Retina Display Support.
♦ Uses and expands on your Native Calendar Data(requires iOS 4).
♦ Date Items – Pulls Birthdays and Anniversaries from your contacts with pictures.
♦ Awesome landscape interface with background and color theme choices.
♦ Powerful month view with time bars and icon display.
♦ Option to show selected day and next month preview on calendar.
♦ Full 7 day week view with 2 formats.
♦ Full Task/Todo list with multiple sorting options.
♦ 150 professional icons built in to easily identify your events.
♦ Add categories to events for filtering and icon support.
♦ Quickly filter events to hide private events.
♦ Military time and week start options.
I hope the app has a few theme options, as the dark one shown in its screencaps and icon is too dark for my tastes – then again, it may be perfect for others.
Here’s more from the App Store page on the approach to updates and adding features:
How we’re going to do this…
We have extensive experience in mobile organizers as we have already made a hugely popular version of Extreme Agenda on another platform. And we want to bring a lot of those same features to you. And more.
So our plan is to bring the features incrementally, but as we bring the quick updates, we also plan on bringing a price increase to approach the pricing of other organizers, and yet pass their Apps by in functionality.
And we will tell you ahead of time…
So In the next updates look for:
♦ Portrait Support
♦ Integrated Tasks
♦ And look for the price to go from its current US price of $1.99 to $2.99 (or equivalent in your market).So get Extreme Agenda now to help support its future.
We can tell you we already have built-in a lot of the under the hood pieces for big features like templates, linking, projects, locations, and a few others we won’t name as well as are ready to add integration to some of the most popular web based services…
So there are clearly some lofty ambitions for the app. Although I think the incremental price increases as features are added is all well and good (in-app purchase of feature packs might also be an option) but I always feel a bit uneasy when app descriptions seem to come close to saying ‘if enough of you pay we’ll build better features’.
Perhaps I’m reading this one wrong, but it feels a little like “If you come, we’ll build it.” I’d rather see apps that have a homerun of a feature list right from the off, not an awesome one that may come along if enough people like the app.
You can find Extreme Agenda in the App Store now, priced at $1.99.
