Why do Apple limit iPad calendar alerts to 2 days max?

How long do you want?
I can't think of ever needing even two days notice of an upcoming event.

I have to write a one-hundred page report for Friday - I need more than two days to remind me to start on that....

That's why I use Pocket Informant HD - there's no such limit in that app..

Oh I agree, 2 days is never enough for me.......I use Smart Pad (Pocket Informant does a similar job) to manage my calendar now, loads of options for setting alerts as you want them.

BACS Banking transfers (which I do a lot) take 3-5 working days. So I need a weeks notice of a payment date. And no I can't use sanding orders or direct debits in this instance.

I don't think it would be beyond the bounds of possibility for Apple to add a 1 week, 2 week, and 1 month alert options.

Oh. I agree!

Yes, 2 days isn't enough. I'd like an option of 5 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks. If I need to snailmail something 5 days would come in very handy.

PITA, but you could always make multiple entries at different intervals. Or, make it a repeating entry at whatever interval and delete it when you're done.

Kludgy, but there ya are.

Is it possible to contact Apple and ask if extra alert timescales could be added in a future update? Or would I be wasting my time trying to contact them?
