About Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM

Pimlical is an advanced successor to the very popular Palm Calendar application, DateBk, used by millions of Palm and Handspring users that now runs on Android Devices. Manages Events, Tasks, Memos and Contacts.

There is a matching desktop PIM application for Windows-based PC's and data can be synced back and forth with Pimlico's DirectSync, as well as through Google Calendar see Pimlico Website at www.PimlicoSoftware.com.

In addition to providing all the conventional calendar functionality, Pimlical has a wealth of features for the power user not present in any other calendar application on any platform. If you are looking for a "cute" and "pretty" calendar, you should look elsewhere, as this program is designed for users who need not only vastly more functionality in a calendar application, but also far more preference settings so it can be truly customized for their use. The relatively few negative reviews of this application are typically posted by users who were just looking for something that was pretty rather than super-functional (and of course it takes some study to even begin to learn all the things that it can do).

Features include

* Quick Entry Templates
* Down-counting Reminders
* Floating Events, as well as tasks
* Custom icons, fonts and colors
* Full repeat support including irregular repeats
* Filters to control all aspects of event display
* Multiple calendar, category and group support

* Voice entry of appts and optional, spoken alarms
* List of upcoming alarms shows all future alarms that are scheduled
* Daily Journal: automatic date/time stamping
* On-line manual
* Locates and Displays all separate instances of a repeat, including irregular repeats
* Snooze and Alarm management (snooze to start/end of appt as well as from now)
* Day, Day+, Week, Week+, Month, Month+ and List Views
* Dynamic resizing of font display with up/down strokes
* 450+ Preference Settings control all display aspects
* Fast entry of dates and times, 2 Date Pickers, 3 Time Pickers to choose from
* Full Timezone handling
* Advanced Find function
* iCalendar import and export
* Full local contacts support including vCard Import/Export
* Full local memo support using standard text files
* Events, tasks, contacts and memos all sync to matching Desktop application
* Separate widget available shows upcoming events, alarms, free time with a dynamic, resizable display and full control via P/A Filter to determine which events are shown in the widget.
* Supports both native Android calendar and secure (bypassing Cloud) local calendar on SD card that can sync to desktop version via DirectSync
* An active forum on Yahoo Groups populated with other Power Users interested in advancing the functionality of this application.

Pimlical/Android is definitely a PIM for power users and not for the occasional-use novice. The focus of the application is directed towards efficiency and functionality, and for the author, CESD, this is a continual work-in-progress as new functionality is added on a regular basis.

If you want a lot of control of your calendar app's behavior, this is a wonderful app. Can't recommend it highly enough. Developer is very responsive.

V70%
by V####:

The program is very good. A few more settings would be good, like those with colors and features for faster user experience (copy paste drag...) . But... Android is informing me under permissions, that program is created for older Android. It is not compatible with any other widget or anything else. Bravo! Two little stars!

(update - I had to email /ask a question/ how to do something, cause I was too lazy to read thru the directions, & I got my perfect answer THE SAME DAY! - Who does that!) Yes, I've been with this genius since Datebook 3 - and I'm STILL learning how to work it! - IF you took the time to LEARN it, you would be as thrilled as I am that he's still in the game! - Get off your butt and HELP A GORILLA! - btw, I just loaded a new address of a new calendar date in, & it instantly opened my Sygic to the location! - wow! - I sure love gorillas!

I tried a number of calendar/contacts/memos apps for Android and finally chose Pimlical. One reason is that I could import everything from my Palm DateBk, but the main reasons are that 1) Pimlical offers so many great features, 2) it allowed me to bypass the Google calendar if I wanted to, and 3) the tech support from both the developer and, especially, the active forum on Yahoo Groups is superb! Like many feature-rich apps, there's a learning curve, but the app is well worth the effort. I am happily using Pimlical on both Android 4 and Android 7. I love it!

After feeling that Google's own Calendar application was to simple, and looking at many of the alternatives, i am happily using Pimical for my Calendar and Memo. Has all the features i needed, and the customisability is amazing.

On the new HTC 530 it crashes on start up including alarms. 2 or 3 goes later it runs fine until next time.

Really enjoy that it becomes MY calendar for my needs. I can see it takes a bit of time but as each new situation arises for me, like being a trustee, etc., Pimlical allows me the freedom to create what helps me out.

M70%
by M####:

The customization available in Pimlical is great. Absolutely the best full featured calendar and task manager app. Exceptional features, options, customization, and responsive support assistance. Have used this calendar app for many years and would never want to be without it. Great app for power users, business, or personal use. PimlicoSoftware regularly improves, maintains, and updates the app; and quickly provides any needed bug fix and keeps the app up-to-date with Android version changes/updates. (I have also made additional donations to their wildlife/gorilla conservation.)

Have used software from when it was Palm Dayebook3. This app was what motivated me to buy an android phone rather than go with Apple. This app is the most complete and tweakable calendar (and more) app you might ever find. And can back it up with your computer several different ways. Kudos to the developer. (From a previous programmer)

If you are looking for the most functionally in a calendar app, look no further. Been using this since I had my Palm Centro.

Yes it takes some work from you to get the settings your way, but it's worth the effort for your use, Brilliant, support excellent, cannot understand why not millions of downloads. Unless folk just glance at it, and too complicated. It's Not, it's like Android, you can set it up your way, plus back up settings!

No smooth scrolling in Day+ view. Latest version crashes a lot. Had to reboot phone to get app to work again. I am slowly migrating away from this app. Edit program continously crashes now and no longer works.

I've been using Pimlical since my Palm days. Nothing compares to its versatility and ease of use (once you get past the learning curve). And the technical support, direct from CESD himself, is prompt and always helpful. Every update is just icing on the cake!

F70%
by F####:

I've been using Pimlical/Datebk since the Handspring Visor days (c. 1999) thru the death of Palm (c. 2009 for me), and thru Pimlical's early growing pains on Android/Google Calendar (c. 2009), and there is STILL nothing better for Android. It syncs well with Google Calendar (although some Pimlical features aren't supported, like Advance, but Google just ignores the data). After all these years, it's still an amazing piece of software!

Starting with week view for new users. all display items such as fonts are adjustable. the buttons at bottom are selectable. all calendar reminders can be set to remind you now, minutes before, hours before and etc. The reminder sounds are selectable and is a 'true' alarm (loud and lengthy). Swipe left and right on the upper half of screen to go to different views. Swipe left and right on the lower of screen to different dates. ... Don't forget to take advantage of the "float" features. Read DOC!!!

Just the best. Professional quality with loads of parameters you can tweak for your way of life. Sync with Outlook via My phone Explorer app. *** even better in 2016 ***

Been using Pimlical/predecessor for years ... since Palm days. It all but runs my life in a way that fits me like a glove. not because I made it or because it was made for me, but because it was made for anybody to adapt it to be a great fit. Amazing ... and support is terrific ... and it's minimal cost is for a good cause.

5 Stars for the ambition to create such a versatile calendar. I miss the simplicity, smooth interface and versatility of my old Palm organizer. This is the closest in appearance and function. It could be a little faster, smoother and more simple, but they give you about all the options you could possibly want and then some, if you are willing to invest the time to figure it all out. Great work!

This is not a gimmicky calendar app... this app is incredibly configurable to keep all your appointments and important events at your fingertips. Created by CESD who is a renowned calendar app writer from palm days and here continues with his outstanding work for Android

I've been using Pimlical since it was Datebk Pro back in the days of Palm devices. It's easily the best, most adaptable calendar software I've seen. Requires a bit of wading through preferences, but you will get a calendar that perfectly suits your needs, both in terms of usability and organization. It is VERY versatile and complete in its features. Highly recommend it to all.

Do you trust your data to the cloud? Or do you keep it private & back it up locally? With Pimlical you can have EITHER ... or BOTH ! ... and as for features... more than you can use... Really !!!! SEVEN STARS. DDA.

I started with Pimlical back on a Palm VII. When I moved to Android 6 years ago, I was very displeased with the limited Google calendar. Pimlical to the rescue!! CESD writes extremely clean code, provides every option to configure that I can ever think of, yet continues to add more features year after year.

CESD, you've made some wonderful changes to the latest version.... "You've come a long way, baby" since DateBK3! Do wish you'd come up with more HD icons.
