iPhone app PrintMyDays

This little Gregorian-based calendar app promises to bring all your far-flung Calendars (Cloud, local, subscribed) together in the form of a color-coded, printed-page monthly calendar.

`Before we start, a word about those first nine ScreenShots in the Preview section above.
Well, theyre not ScreenShots, but rather PrinterShots - images of of a calendar (a printed page of paper) scrunched down to the size requirement of a ScreenShot so as to be depicted here on the App Store.
Yes, they look somewhat out-of-sorts here, but when printed on your printer or sent as a PDF, they will look fabulous.` +

So, now lets get started.

Meet the Anderson family (and their Calendar colors) - Mom (orange), Dad (green), son Blu (blue) and daughter Vi (violet).
Mom, the calendar master, prints (or previews) her Calendar and Dads Calendar together (#1, above).
No problems, all Events fit nicely on one page.
Then Mom adds in Calendars for Blu and Vi (#2, above).
Tight, but everything fits.

Wait, what? Grandma, who lives in Fresno, is coming for a visit? Probably to keep an eye on grandson Blu while Mom and Dad are busy recreating.
Mom adds Grandmas Calendar to the mix.
And the Calendar is busted (#3, above) as evidenced by several ellipsis () symbols and Truncated List indicating truncation of data - either horizontal (Event title) or vertical (entire Event(s)).
Or BOTH!

So what can be done?

Mom knows what to do.
Mom will bifurcate the calendar.

Wait, what?

bifurcate - to cause to divide into two branches or parts - Merriam-Webster

Mom uses the Date Range feature of the app to print days 1-15 (#4, above), then flips the paper over and prints days 16-30 on the back (#5, above).
Mission accomplished.

If more calendar space is needed, Mom could further narrow the DateRange to, say, a single week (#6, above).

Event locations are available in the calendar (#7, above).

Also, weekdays only with a 1-line event description (#8, above).

Also, smaller font size, alternative day numbering and Mondays excluded (#9, above).

ScreenShot #10, above, is the primary screen depiction from the app.

Three printer font sizes are available when printing your calendar event titles.
A customized calendar title and a note field are available.

What paper sizes are supported, you might ask? USLetter? Of course.
A4? Yes.
Legal? That too.
Basically, whatever your printer supports.
The iOS interrogates your printer seeking, among other things, its paper handling capabilities - size, type, tray.
From this, the iOS reports the available page sizes - both physical dimensions and imageable area to the app.
In the case of PDF output, you select the size (USLetter, A4, Legal) with the full dimensions becoming the imageable area.
If the PDF meets-up with a printer somewhere down the line, just use fit-to-page or scale to avoid clipping on the margins.

So, what this app did for the Andersons it can do for you.
Its free to try - your Calendars, your events, your printer.
And the app can produce a PDF that you can AirDrop, Email, etc.
If it looks good, a nominal IAP (Tier One) will get you on your way.,
