As a user I want to be able to receive a notification when I need to leave for an event.

What are our options for notifying the user when the app is in the background or not running? Via Pete, CloudKit might offer a basic push notification service for free. Are there alternatives to push similar to what alarms use?

UILocalNotification is all that's needed for alerting the user at a specific time with a specific message regardless of whether the app is running. Up to 64 can be queued at a time.

By default, a local notification does not appear when the app is running in the foreground but fires a method in the AppDelegate that will allow us to configure how we would like that notification presented, if at all.

Can we unregister a local notification?
