About this app

Dementia Diary/Clock provides a highly configurable clock display with events that are remotely configurable using any shared calendar configured onto the phone/tablet.
A new feature allows the screen to be fully configured by the user.

"Long press" in the top left corner of the screen to open up a wealth of options.
The application uses the devices full screen. To access the navigation bar just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
Full details of all options are available on the website, fashmel.com

Inspired by my experiences caring for my mother and father in law, both of whom have suffered from dementia / alzheimers, the Dementia Diary was written to help improve both their lives and the lives of their carers.

Photos installed on the device can be displayed or played and associated with calendar events. (Google Drive is not now available)

Dementia Diary has minimal language support (Time/Date) for all android supported languages, and full translations for the following;
English, Czech, Danish, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Hebrew*, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak and Swedish.

Please let me know if you have any ideas for more options that will help you.

A Note of Warning: This application is designed to be "always on". Please ensure the device is mains powered as it will drain the battery life.

I have an 8" Tablet that I no longer use and instead of purchasing a 'dementia clock' for my mother, I can use this, which has an identical display. The calendar sync makes it superior to those clocks - I purchased a 'data reward' SIM from Three, which automatically adds 200mb free each month, to sync with Google Calendar. Also, the Tablet can't be updated beyond 4.2, yet the app supports it. Top marks to the developer.

Used to help my Dad with dementia to know what day it is and who is visiting from calendar event display. I use it myself on my own display to remind me of appointments as well. Though I have not been able to get the images to work with the calendar events as the coding is a bit cryptic. I still rate it 5 stars for all other features, all free with no ads.

Thank you for the positive review. Hopefully the new menu options will help new and existing users understand the features better.

This app has totally stuffed up repeat calendar events. All details in the description area have been replaced with a date! Information which I needed in my calendar has now been lost & will probably never get it back. Instructions on how to use all functions should be easier to find. Information on the impact of each change should be highlighted. Not at all happy!!!

I am really sorry this has happened. I will modify the description of the option to make it clear that the option you set overwrites the existing calendar event description with the time the event was acknowledged. I will try to append this information if possible in a future update.
