Eventacular 1.0.5.2
For Windows Phone users this app seems to be Eventacular, as it combines beautiful graphics with practical functions to make sure you will not be missing any major event in your life.
Beautiful look with eye-candy elements throughout the app
The attractive interface of this utility is very well designed, featuring animated timers and customizable backgrounds for each event you add to the list. The live tiles that you can pin to the Start screen are also eye-catching, allowing you to view at a glance the upcoming events.
Besides the fine-looking images that can be associated with the items you add to the main list, Eventacular can use your own photos or pictures from Flickr as backgrounds, but these features have to be purchased first.
Manage events and add reminders as well as voice memos to any of them
Adding a new event or editing an existing one is a breeze, as all the parameters are displayed inside the same screen, so you can take them one at a time and customize them accordingly. Besides the colors and backgrounds that can be assigned to each entry, the app supports the use of reminders, so a notification screen will appear some seconds before the event.
Another very useful feature is the ability to add voice memos for every event, as Eventacular supports up to 2 minutes of audio recording. Marking an item as "prime" puts it on top of the list, as the most important upcoming event to look for.

Bottom Line
Design / UI10
The application is quite impressive insofar as the visual aspect is concerned, thanks to the high quality of the backgrounds and other graphics. The tiles pinned to the Start menu also have a neat look and will adjust their content automatically with live data every half hour. |
Function9
There are plenty of customization options for each event hosted by Eventacular, as it offers reminders, voice memos and even a feature for securing the access to the app with a 4-digit PIN code. A better way of handling the expired events is needed, though, as they remain in the main list even if their time has passed. |
Security7
The application will require access to several sensitive areas of the phone, more precisely to the phone dialer, appointments and phone identity. |
Battery8
The power consumption for this app is low to moderate and it doesn't drain the battery even when used continuously for longer periods of time. |
Price9
Eventacular is a really valuable tool to have, as it provides many handy features and a beautiful GUI. Nonetheless, users will have to purchase the features for using personal photos or images from Flickr as backgrounds for the events. |
Compatibility8
The more recent devices that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and higher will have no problems in running this application, as long as they have a minimal screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. |
