Memento can be translated as an object that keep reminder or souvenir of an event or something that was given by someone or some party and hold some memories .
Memento in this tutorial is an app that keep its user for several kind of event, and give them a reminder before the event happen.
Installation
To install the app, go to play store and search for memento calendar. Click on install button. In my case, I have already installed it, so the button already written differently
Once the app is installed, click on the icon of the app on your device. It will ask whether you will allow the app to access your contact. Later on you will see why it needs to access them. Click on grant permission to continue the process.
Setting and Configuration
In the setting section, you are allow to change couple of things there. If you look closer, the first line is about donation. Means that, anyone who want to contribute for the app development can send their donation. This also will help to remove the ads that (maybe) keep appearing while using the app
You can set daily reminders, adding the day on the app, and change the theme of the app. They have really cute theme tho, you should check it out
How to use the app
- Initial View of the app
If you open the main page of the app, you will be presented with an empty page as you have not insert any events into your memento-calendar. It will looks like something below :
- Adding event
To add an event or more, click on "+" sign at the bottom of the app. It will direct user to a new page where you can add all information related to the app. Take a look at the image below.
I choose to add someone name Ben on my contact list, including her birthday. As soon as I type Ben, it will select from my contact list, including the picture that user Ben use. Then, choose which event should be added to the app. It can be birthday, anniversary or anything else.
At the picture of the contact list, there is camera icon which allow user to change the picture, if they wish to.
If you finished this step, it means that you have successfully added new event into your memento-calendar. To see all event on your calendar, go to the main page of the app. IN the right corner, there is icon for calendar. Click on it, then you will see list of event you have added.
I have added number of events in the name of Ben, that is why it looks like something in the image above.
How do you know if the event is happening?
I was wondering how will the app remind me of the upcoming event. Actually, it will appear in notification bar just like any other reminder.
Overall review
It is a sweet and cute app, I personally love this app. you do not need much time to learn how to use it, the app is there and once you install it you directly can maximize the use of it.
Looking forward for a better development of the app
