Available In: Cydia

Price: Free Trial then $9.95

Many of you may remember RemindYou, a lock screen calendar app, from firmware 1.1.4 and below. It seems the app has made it’s way to the 2.x firmware. However, this time I can actually get it to work which is nice because with firmware 1.1.4 and below we could never get this application to work for us. When you open the application, you will get a list of Settings. Here you are able to change things like; font, font size, font color, 24 hour time, dim wallpaper…etc. However, I can’t seem to get a few of the settings to work. Any setting with an arrow next to it will not launch. This includes; Font, Font Color and Registration. All of the other Settings work just fine.

Once you select your settings and enable the application, it will display your upcoming calendar events on your lock screen. It also allows you to sync with iCal, Outlook or Entourage. I actually do not use any of those (Google all the way) so, you will have to let me know in the comments how well the syncing works! It comes with a seven day trial and you can purchase the full application for $9.95.

RemindYou 1.2-1

Well guys, I don’t know what you tell you about this application…I seriously cannot get it to work on my iPhone. Doug used to be able to get it to work but, now it just makes his lock screen go black. There are do not appear to be any visual changes on the Settings menu of the application, with the update to version 1.2-1. You will have to let me know in the comment if this application works for you. RemindYou is available through the BigBoss source.

RemindYou 1.1

There are no visual changes to version 1.1 of RemindYou. The update did contain some bug fixes however, we continue to have issues with this application. I personally have never been able to get RemindYou to work on my iPhone. It does work on Doug’s iPhone but, it has random glitches. One example is that it made the lock screen go black with nothing on it. Let us know if you use this app and how it works for you. RemindYou is available through the BigBoss source.

RemindYou 1.0.2

RemindYou is another lockscreen app that displays your upcoming events on your wallpaper. This app is a great concept but still has some work to do. Right now it actually writes the events on the .png file for your wallpaper. This means that if your wallpaper is landscape instead of portrait it doesn’t fit. Also, if you’re using SummerBoard and have wallpaper on your springboard the text shows there too. The app updates the info every 15 minutes. If you change your wallpaper you have to open the app and hit “Apply Changes” for it to appear again, otherwise it’s blank until it updates at the 15 minute mark.

The kewl thing about this app is it’s all customizable. You can adjust the font, font size, font color, bold, 24 hr time, dim the wallpaper and adjust dim level. You can install RemindYou from the BigBoss source in Installer. It comes with a 14 day trial and then costs $19.95 USD. This seems very high in comparison to others with more features and the current bugs. I like the simplicity but I will be sticking with IntelliScreen for personal use.
