For things that need an appointment (the chimney sweep, the garage, the eye doctor), TimeAcappella tells you early enough to get one in time: it allows for how long it takes to get an appointment.
When to call
The thing shows “To call”. Open it to see by when to call, and why: for example, “Call by Sun 25 Oct, in 5 days: it takes about 4 weeks to get an appointment.”
Noting the appointment
- Once you've booked the appointment, open the thing and tap “Note the appointment…”.
- Choose the date and time. The place is optional.
- Tap “Save”.
The appointment goes into your calendar, the thing waits for its day in “Upcoming”, and the app reminds you the day before.
Moving or cancelling it
Move the appointment in your usual calendar: TimeAcappella keeps up. If it's cancelled, press and hold the thing, then tap “Cancel the appointment”: the appointment leaves the calendar, and the thing goes back to “To fit in”.
After the appointment
There's nothing to confirm: the day after, the appointment counts as done on the day it was booked for, and the next time is worked out from there.
If it didn't happen (cancelled by the practice, or forgotten), press and hold the thing, then tap “Not done”: it goes back to “To fit in”, just as before the appointment.
