We are pleased to announce that SmartTime 4 has been accepted by Apple and is now on the App Store. SmartTime 4 takes full advantage of the latest features of the new iOS4 including multi-tasking and the use of local notifications. This video demonstrates how you can switch instantaneously between our different SmartApps and also other apps on your iPhone.
Note SmartTime 4 is optimized for iPhones with the new iOS4 installed. If you have not yet upgraded to iOS4, you will want to keep your existing version of SmartTime.
One of the other cool features is what Apple calls “Local Notification.” This means you can set alerts locally, on your iPhone, without having to depend upon external servers to “Push” an alert to you. This is a feature that we asked for many times over the past year and we are excited that it has been implemented.

Hello, good job but… I’ am on an iPhone 4 and I have problem for linking SmartTime calendars to Google’s ones. SmartTime quits when I tap on Save.It is systematic. I had to uninstall it many times, and still impossible to make the links. So almost unusable for me.
Hi bledu, It’s working fine on our iPhone4 test units and also on my iPhone4. May I suggest that you contact our help desk with specifics? Our engineers will then work directly with you to troubleshoot.
Ok Michael. Thanks.
I decided finally to hard reset my iPhone 4. Then everything is working nice now. By the way, my iTunes backup before sync function operates much quicker now too. So SmartTime was certainly not really involved and the problem was for sure a little more general.

We are waiting for the iPad apps from Leftcoast Logic.
Hello Bernard,
Glad to hear it is working well. By the way we already have one iPad app, SmartTunes! We are also working to create an iPad version of SmartNotes. And we are developing a completely new productivity app for iPad that will incorporate technology from SmartTime, SmartPlans and SmartList.
Question: Do you think SmartTime would be more popular in French-speaking countries if we offered a French version?
Yes, Michael, it is always better to have a French version to sell to French speaking people. Not only the app, but also the user guide. In fact you may keep the soft in English but should have the user guide in French language (with the menus, buttons, screenshots in English as that’s the users will see in the interface). The more complex and versatile is the application, the more we need to make the localization effort.
France has a quite large installed base of iPhone users, and the iPhone 4 is staring here a big career !
By the way, let me take the opportunity to tell you some thing about SmartTime that’s still disturb me after so many months of daily use.
It is about the Smart screen.
SmartTime is the only one software I know that presents the date “under” the events and task of the day. It is something vey unconventional and very, very disturbing. I can understand that it is your choice, but it is not a good justification. And I think you should think about again.
If a conventional board, the Smart screen should start with the today’s date followed by events and task for the day, then comes the next header with the date of tomorrow followed by events and tasks planned for tomorrow… then Smart screen should have a third header called something like “Later” or “In the next days” ou “Soon”… for every other events and tasks that are listed for after tomorrow and the date that has been determined by the user in preferences.
What do you think about that. I ‘am not a programmer but I imagine that is very simple to do and has no programming implication beyond the look of the Smart Screen.
Have a nice week Michael.
