I have some great news to share with our loyal Reminder Pro users.  If you have been following this blog for the last few months, you will know we have been close to releasing Never Forget which is like Reminder Pro but on steroids.

I am pleased to announce we have found a way to get Never Forget to read the Reminder Pro database at startup, and for that reason we are now going to release Never Forget as Reminder Pro 2.0.  This means it will be a free upgrade to all current Reminder Pro users.  It was submitted to Apple for approval yesterday and should be available to download within a couple of weeks.

Some Screenshots:

Here are some of the new features:

• Completely new UI with Retina Display support
• All data now stored in a dedicated database rather than Contacts
• Import contacts with birthdays and anniversaries from the Contacts application
• Import contacts with birthdays from Facebook
• Now supports User Icons for Contacts and Photos for Custom Events
• Receive reminders via Local Notifications (iOS 4.0+)
• Post Best Wishes to your Friends Facebook Wall
• Set a PIN Lock to prevent prying eyes from viewing or changing your important data
• Full In App Settings, Support and Help

Reminder Pro is now the most complete reminder application available on the App Store.  You can download 1.3 (and get the free upgrade to 2.0) from the following link:

I was recently made aware of a bug in Reminder Pro that was triggered when contact photos were synced with Facebook using the iPhone Facebook application.

For some reason Facebook adds photos to contacts that confuses the iPhone API. The bug would cause Reminder Pro / Free to crash at startup when loading these contacts.

Reminder Pro 1.3 was submitted today to fix this bug and should be available in around 7 days.

I’ve just submitted version 1.2 of Reminder Pro to Apple, and it should be available to download in a couple of weeks.

The new version adds over 150 categorized icons for the Custom Event type, so now you can be flexible on the type of events Reminder Pro can support.

I’ve tried to include every icon requested since release, plus a ton more.

Enjoy.

I submitted a new version of Reminder Pro and Reminder Free to the App Store last night.

The changes for Reminder Pro are:

• Added an option to show the Age of Standalone Events
• Added person icon for Standalone Events
• Added an Expired Events view showing past events
• Provided facility to delete past Standalone Events
• Fixed bug when adding Standalone Event that caused edits to be lost
• Events which have never occurred are reported as First Occurrence.

The Changes for Reminder Pro and Free are:

• Fixed an occassional crash on startup
• Updated icon design

Both versions should be available in about a weeks time based upon first time approval.
