One of my apps in the appstore is a reminders type app called Next Thing. Its designed for a slightly different purpose-- its meant to be left open next to your computer and keep you focused on one task at a time. You can see it here: http://pocketronic.com/ http://pocketronic.com/ With the keyboard up on the iPhone or iPod touch, there's not a lot of space for controls in the navigation bar. You often need a cancel button and a save button, and since the title traditionally goes in the middle, there are no more button spots on the bar. To solve this, we put the button in the view. Our view is of an index card given the nature of our app, and on it is a date field. But its a bit subtle, you can see it here: (not sure if this URL is stable or not.) http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/055/Purple/04/e5/da/mzl.afnjusdl.320x480-75.jpg http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/055/Purple/04/e5/da/mzl.afnj... However, since customers might not figure out that the date field can be tapped on to bring up the date picker, we also put a calendar button in the middle of the Navigation Bar. We did this by replacing the title with a custom view, in which we put the button. This is probably what Apple should do. FWIW, the hardest and most successful part of this app, in my thinking, is the date picker. You can see a screenshot of it here: http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/015/Purple/a3/6d/de/mzl.mkfrataa.320x480-75.jpg http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/015/Purple/a3/6d/de/mzl.mkfr... We haven't added iCloud to it yet because we expected reminders, being built into the OS would kill sales. But that hasn't happened, even with the advantage of being integrated into Siri. So, we'll be adding iCloud soon as I can get some spare time.
