Disappearing Calendar notifications
I use the Calendar app to remind me of things in addition to appointments. I suppose I could use the Reminders app, but it appears to me to be reduntant to what Calendar can do, but if someone reads this and says something to the contrary, I'd be interested.
My problem is this. All events (with alarms) in my Calendar will appear in the notifications on the upper right. Now, I don't sit at my computer all day long, so when I get back to my computer, I like seeing what notifications (alarms) from Calendar I missed. Unfortunately, it appears that some (but not all) of my calendar alarms disappear after what I think is an hour. And they don't show up in the notifications column that I can make appear with the two-finger swipe. So, I've been missing reminders to make phone calls, or to buy a gift or whatever. But, it doesn't happen all the time. Some appointments stick on the upper right for hours. Some don't. I can't figure out what I'm doing right or wrong. But whatever I'm doing, how do I make the notifications (just for Calendar) stick until I close?
By the way, Reminders does it all the time, but again, it seems like a redundant app. I have Calendar set for "Alerts" in the notification center which clearly states that "Alerts stay on screen until dismissed." This is frustrating.
