Enter New Events
You enter new events by tapping on the New button in the top right of the screen. A form will be presented and you can begin to edit the information for this new event. Tap on the Save button when you're done editing.
The only required information is the Month and Day, as this is used to determine when this event happens. Of course, you probably want to enter a Person's information into the First Name and Last Name fields. If this isn't really for a person, or you just want a completely custom title, you can enter the complete Title into the Title field.
Automatic Title or Custom Title
If you enter a person's first (and optionally last) name, then Next Balloon will automatically choose the title that sounds right. For example, if you enter Bill as the First Name, and Smith as the Last Name, and the event type is chosen as Birthday, then the automatic title will be: Bill Smith's Birthday
This is probably what you want, but if you do need to completely override the title, to something like Family Reunion, then you can enter this in the Title field at the bottom of the form. In this case, the title you enter will be the entire title, and the app won't automatically generate the title.

Year is Optional
The only portion of the date that is required is the Month and Day, so that we can determine what day each year this event occurs. If you want to enter a year, you can, but it won't change how the app displays the event. In the future, we may use the year, to show you something like Sally's 5th Birthday. But for now, the year is unused.
