Calendar repeat

When it's a repeat that the iPad doesn't offer your way of doing it is to make that appointment in another program and then get it onto your iPad. So, if you sync with outlook on your computer, make that appointment on your computer then sync it to your iPad. the iPad calendar will honor repeats even if they can't make them.

It is UNBELIEVABLE that iCal can only support custom calendar from iMac or other program's - HOW HARD is it to offer the identical option from iPad or iPhone - for those who don't have their own PC or iMac ?

And I wish stupid spell check would nor keep correcting my plurals into genitive !!!!! Programs. Not program's .

You can direct your ire to apple, they make the decisions.

Thanks - sorry for the rant - New to this discussions thing... I actually did send major feedback to apple - after hours of messing around with yahoo calendar which has the custom week repeats , but then it wouldn't sync properly to iCal ... Not sure why ... Anyway apparently there are several apps which are compatible with iCal on iPad and iPhone, so I'll just have to experiment with which works best for me...

Cheers

There are lots of calendar apps in the App Store. Many of them offer different features than the built in apps. They all pull from the same database as the built in app.

This wouldn't work if you had a lof of appointments, but I know I can 'save as' and mail an appointment to myself. Haven't tried it to see what types are compatible with the iPad app but for random appointments you can make it on something else and mail it to yourself.

FOr example, when I make an appointment to donate blood, the blood bank will mail me an appointment to put on my calendar.

May not work for everyone but it is another way to share the info.
