Ok, I found a way to get it to do a daily appointment (at least I think it will work tomorrow), you just have to type it in rather than use the appointment app. I guess due to syntax some of the times it does not work. The appointments that I typed in are not on the calender, so is there a way to get Hal to list them so I know which ones worked and which ones did not?
If I type "what are my appointments" it opens the appointment calender which does not list these that have been put in by hand.
