Tempo Smart Calendar Update Adds People Insights

The interesting smart calendar app Tempo has just been updated with a number of improvements.
Making its premiere in version 1.2 is a new feature called People Insights. Designed to give users a complete picture of the people that they are meeting with, the app now displays information like all mutual LinkedIn connections, Facebook friends, and even mutual Tempo contacts.
“We’re always working to connect the dots in your day by providing more contextual data in your calendar,” said Raj Singh, CEO of Tempo AI. “With the new Insights feature, we’ve really focused on people both at the micro level with personal tidbits and at the macro level by leveraging an entirely new Tempo graph. Knowing more about the people you meet helps you make a stronger connection and cement the best business outcomes. Tempo Insights makes getting to know someone, and staying up to date with your connections, that much easier and more enjoyable.”And with the new Smart and Morning Alerts, users can do a number of tasks without having to actually launch the app. Morning Alerts review the day ahead and remind users to wish friends a happy birthday. Smart Alerts include the ability to auto-dial a conference call and check a flight status. Here’s the complete list of other changes:
Before the most recent update, version 1.1 of the app landed back in October. That brought the Smart Address book made up of the most relevant contacts and their up-to-date details. Designed for the iPhone/iPod touch, Tempo can be downloaded now in the App Store for free. If you’re looking for a free and powerful alternative to other popular third-party calendar apps like Fantastical 2, I highly recommend Tempo. It is well thought out and provides a spectacular amount of information.
