14 DAY TRIAL // Have you ever found yourself wondering what day it is and you didn't have anyone to ask to set you straight? Well, those days are over now because you can keep track of time and holidays by using a very simple and powerful application that guarantees you'll never forget any important event in your life.
For those of us that use a computer on a daily basis and the virtual environment has become our second home, a holiday calendar that can keep us up to date with the latest events is the perfect solution. You don't have to search online for important events when you can just check your calendar and prepare in advance for a certain event.
This simple application has a very useful startup wizard that allows you to customize your calendar by type, style, year and, most importantly, by language. Simply Calenders lets users customize their holidays by allowing them to choose from over 40 different language packs that contain specific holidays for a certain country. Besides the common holiday events, users also choose their national events (according to the country they live in) and even religious events (according to their religion).
While in the Calendar Creation Wizard, you have the ability to set an image for every month of the year, thus creating your own personalized monthly calendar. In case there are some important events occurring throughout the year, you can simply choose the targeted day from the calendar and set up a customized label so that you will not forget what you have to do.
Considering you have completed the wizard and configured the calendar successfully, you will now be able to view it according to the customized preferences. You can easily change the displayed month by accessing the menu from the top of the screen that allows you to view detailed information about a certain month.
The File menu of Simply Calenders has a very important feature: the ability to print out you calendar. This can be very useful in case you want to place it on your wall at work or at home. The Edit menu allows users to access the Preferences window of the application where they can easily set their time zone and change the language interface.
The application has many features that can be very useful when creating your own calendar but one stands out from the crowd and that is the ability to create html based calendars. This can be an important tool because if you can export a calendar to an html file format, then you can use the same calendar on your personal web page, thus you can check your calendar anywhere you are. This feature is great for those that have PDA or other portable devices compliant with the html technology because they can view their calendar wherever they go.
With Simply Calenders features such as moon phases, solstices and equinoxes can come in handy for those that need to be updated by such events. These features are something that you don't find in your everyday calendar and they are highly qualitative when it comes to choosing a complex and powerful calendar design and scheduling tool. Simply Calenders provides you with features that no other application in its class does along with the fact that you can fully customize the way your calendar looks, trace important events in both your personal and social life.
The Good
You can use this Simply Calenders to create your own personalized calendar, filled with the holidays that you are interested in and customized messages for each day. This application is fully customizable when it comes to calendar creation and comes with two major features: the ability to print you calendar and to export it to an html file format. Another good thing about this application is that it provides you with six other language interfaces besides English, so this can be considered a multilingual tool.
The Bad
There are some redundancies in the feature placement on the menu bar. For instance, you can change the same options from both the Preferences window and from other menus. Another downfall could be the user interface. The application can do so many things but the design is somewhat robust and simplistic. Some graphical enhancements would be appreciated.
The Truth
Simply Calenders is a very useful tool when it comes to calendar creation and holiday scheduling. Considering that it has features no other application in the same field enjoys, Simply Calenders is worth every penny.
