Due to the changes brought to us by the new iPhone X, we have a new release for Informant 5 for iOS.
As of November 20, 2017:
Updated for iPhone X! Due to the unique design changes of iPhone X, we had to rethink our view picker & toolbar. Now, if you’re on an iPhone X, the view picker, toolbar & Informant Home screen now live on a new “drawer” that can be slid up and down. In the most collapsed state, this gives you 1 touch access between all the major views…you can also move the drawer up 1 level to give you 1 touch access to all calendar views as well!
Other improvements in this release include:
– The trigger editor now supports multi-line notes for a trigger
– Resolved an issue where Informant would intermittently open to 2015 instead of the current date
– Improvements to subscribing to a calendar
– Fixed a crash when importing certain ICS files
– Include the event URL field when exporting / importing ICS files
– Improved time zone handling when importing and exporting ICS files
– Resolved issue where the dates in month view might be hard to read if you customized colors
– Event/Task notes should be easier to read in the “summary popover” when in dark mode
– Weather information should be easier to read in dark mode
– Updated localizations and specifically fixed an issue with Portuguese that was introduced in the last update
– Internal performance improvements
– Internal updates to improve iOS 11 compatibility
Are you using the new iPhone X? Let us know how you like the new menu. It just might make its way into Informant 5.
iPhone X user, the basic idea is good but the line with the plus, filter and printer icons are taking up too much of the new screen real-estate.
Alex,
Thanks for the feedback. We had to get a quick fix out for iPhone X because it was totally broken. It is causing us to re-think some of our menu components. I do expect some more changes will be coming soon.
I’m so free and just put my review in here. That should be a sufficient explanation.
Price-performance inadequate!
Almost, but only almost, I would have been persuaded to award a third star. Fanatic did it! The (allegedly) adapted to the iPhone X version caps in the weekly view I prefer half the Wednesday and practically the whole Sunday. Nothing works without scrolling! This is an absolutely unacceptable behavior for a rather expensive app!
The subscription model is still the greatest crap and the appointment by means of rolling wheel is a disaster!
Terminus,
We too are not 100% happy with the fixes for iPhone X. It was a bit of a hurried fix to solve bigger problems introduced with the new layouts of the iPhone X.
One good thing about the subscription model is that we WILL be providing a FREE fix for the iPhone X issues that came up. If you would have paid 1x for the product, you would be at risk of having to wait until the next full update. As it is, we will be providing additional fixes for the iPhone X in near future and they will be included with all subscribing users.
Hang in there. The good thing about this model is that we ARE here and we ARE working on it…
thanks for you support.
Hi Keith,
I have to say that Terminus has completely right. I have other payed apps and also subscriptions and Formthis apps there are updates and improvements every month. It told you and the support month ago that the focus view without the fixed day view on the left side (iPad) and slide in on iPhone was much better (like it was on informant). Also I told weeks ago that the date and time picker is absolutely not to use at all. Both no fix yet.
I think that for the price of the app you are very slow with improvements and updates.

Hi,
is finally a fix for the miserable picker/toolbar and week view on the iPhone X available? My Wednesday and Sunday are still only partially visible and the last update is 8 weeks old! My patience to continue working with expensive paid bug software is over!
Terminus,
If you contact support we can get you a beta version that has some fixes for the iPhone X. We are actively testing & developing the fixes.
A fix will be available for all very soon.
