After taking over Able Player, I received feedback from various sources about the kinds of problems people are having with the accessible media player. While there are miscellaneous observations of bugs and support gaps, the majority of comments were actually about using the player.

My Calendar v3.6.0 and My Calendar Pro v3.2.0
I’m a couple days late in getting this posted, but My Calendar 3.6.0 and My Calendar Pro 3.2.0 released on Wednesday, April 23rd! Woot!
