by | Jun 17, 2021 | Blog | 9 comments

iOS 5.70 release notes:

  • Some much-requested widget updates have been released
    • All-day events will now display – if more than 3 all-day events it will display 4+ all-day events as a placeholder so that timed events get precedence
    • Language localization fixes – date header will now accommodate all Informant languages
    • Other localization options such as weather in Celcius, and 24-hour time format
    • Calendar filter view will now match current view of Focus/Today view
  • Stability improvements

macOS 1.1.23 release notes:

  • Child task terminology changed to subtask
  • Stability improvements

Important macOS note – Because of this release macOS 10.13 is no longer supported. You will need to upgrade your device to at least 10.14 in order to continue to receive updates for Informant. For more information regarding device requirements and upgrading from 10.13 go here.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the updated widgets, as it will help us as we begin to plan for the iOS 15 widget designs and features.

    Widgets – Please give user option to show location for events & increase font size

      Thanks for the feedback, Greg! We currently have an option for an increased font size if you go to your device Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text > turn option on and slide scroller. The iOS 14 widgets accommodate one large font size but we will be discussing more font size options with the iOS 15 widgets.

    Is there a known bug with the Apple Watch app? Since the update I can’t get it to open, it just crashes.

    I’d love to help Beta test this version of Informant as I did with the Mac version. I submitted my request, how do I access Informant for Web? Thanks.
