If there is an event pending, then it will be displayed just above the icons at the
bottom of the screen. You CAN suppress this display on the 'Preferences>Clock' tab.

The next event is 'Alarm 1' in Bob's Alarm. As shown, it will happen on
Monday at 7:00am in the Home zone.

If you tap the right side of event display you can toggle between
displaying the time OF the event and displaying the time TO the
event.

If no events are pending, then BA will say so.

An option on the 'Preferences>Misc' screen will allow you to display events from
other applications, in addition to Bob's Alarm, if they will be the next
alarm on the device. Remember that
the event must have an alarm set to show up, so the mere existence of a
Datebook event, for instance, will not cause that event to display as
a 'next event' unless an alarm is set for that event in the Datebook application.
Bob's Alarm will display event times for the following applications:
Agendus, Audacity, BigClock, Bob's Alarm, Calendar, Datebook, DateBk5, DateMate, DiddleBug,
IOUMate, MegaClock, NotePad, Task, ToDo, WorldClock, and WorldMate.
