I’ve received a few questions lately on how to do this. You can easily add multiple days off at the same time by specifying it in the add a day off screen. If you are set to “Days” then you can enter the number of days you want to take off. If you are set [...]

The iPad version will be very similar to the iPhone/iPod version but larger.

At any rate, here is a sneak peek at [...]

Bug found in 1.6, 1.6.1 pushed to Apple

When adding time, you may get double references in the table under the calendar. This is just a display bug and closing the app and re-opening will set the tables up properly. If you try to delete a doubled row, the application will crash. A fix in a new version 1.6.1 has been sent for [...]
