2. Since iOS6 and above you must allow AutoSilent access to your calendars. Please open iPhone Settings->Privacy->Calendars and make sure that AutoSilent is checked ON.
*****
2. AutoSilent shows you in the first tab the next silent event that it finds in your iPhone calendars. This tab is not intended to be used to add or modify events. To add new event just open your Calendar application and add/modify your event. AutoSilent will automatically synchronize with your calendars.
3. When you first open AutoSilent please make sure to allow AutoSilent to get your current location.
Autosilent synchronizes with your calendars and automatically silents your iDevice during meetings. AutSilent automatically re-sets your iDevice back to Regular/Ring mode at the end of the meeting.
AutoSilent is a location based application. It can detect your current location and mute your iDevice automatically when you are at School or at the University.
AutoSilent will set your iDevice back to Regular/Ring mode when you leave those places.
Don’t miss an important call because you forget to un mute your phone.
Don’t be embarrassed by alerts that go on while you are in a meeting. Let Autosilent do the job for you.

Don't get unwanted sounds from calendar, text events during phone calls.
Location Services MUST be enabled.
* Mute When Locked - The device will be muted only when it is locked. In case AutoSilent needs to mute the device and this option is enabled, AutoSilent will mute the device only when the device is locked otherwise the deice stays un-muted.
Location Services MUST be enabled.
* Unmute on 3 repeated calls - When this option is enabled and the phone is muted by AutoSilent or by the hardware mute switch, 3 repeated calls from any number during a period of 2 minutes will un-mute the phone.
Location Services MUST be enabled.
