Improvements to GuideConnect in May 2024
Calendar Repeat Events
There are even more options now to set repeating calendar events and reminders. So, if you have a regular activity, appointment, meeting or event to attend, you can set them to appear in your calendar at the appropriate intervals.
This is handy for birthday reminders, repeat events, work meetings or regular get-togethers with friends. Whether you meet annually, monthly, weekly, or would like to customise for your own needs - such as fortnightly or every second Tuesday of the month!
You can also set daily reminders, to help you complete those regular tasks on your to-do list.
