Organize:Pro - Project Manager 4+

I had purchased this so that I would have a pretty decent time management tool for tracking all of my various activities between customers, school, and my other activities. I would consider giving this product more than 3 stars if they customer support team actually responded to things. They encourage users to submit feedback for areas that require improvement, but over the last few months I haven't received anything from them. I've also not received answers to questions posed about the product.

At any rate, we shall see if these guys will improvde on things at all. The syncing between all of the devices is on target - which is a huge plus. I may transition back over to Pagico because those guys are EXCELLENT in their level of responsiveness and always rolling out updates to make the product better.

This application has a nice U.I., some unique and helpful features such as the project dashboard, and the developers keep adding features through frquent updates. I really want to like this app and make it my only organizer/project manager/to do list, but bugs and problems keep piling up. For example, one of the touted features of this version is that you can drop an email into the Organize and it will automatically convert into a task; I tried several times (including after quitting and restarting applications …) but I am unable to do that using Apple Mail. I tried to get some instructions for the help menu, but their online manuals do not include the current version of the software, and when I click on "Start Organizer Tutorial" in the "Welcome Assistant" nothing happens. Finally, after rebooting the computer, I could drag and drop some emails into the open application and the title/subject of the email was converted to a task (without any other text, so email body did not transfer as a note to the task), however flagged emails for some reason did not work. One other major issue for me is that the developer is following in the footsteps of OmniFocus and Things who use their own servers to sync with other Macs and iOS devices instead of iCloud, despite many users wanting to sync only via iCloud .

I have used Outlook for years and was looking for more organizational features. This program has all those organizing features that I was looking for but I cannot get it to work. They have a great idea but it isn’t well developed in its current state.

I love how projects and sub-projects can be set up and the contexts features. The incorporation of a mind map import is a great feature. However, I could not find any other files that it would import. I can not complete a repeating task without it saying that I completing all future tasks. There are so many ways of doing the same command that the graphics are cluttered. The calendar view doesn’t show just the tasks for the day. It has features to review the tasks but you aren’t able to change any of the settings to get a meaningful review (review the day, month or year). Customer support has never replied to my questions. I feel like I need to download the program and start over because there are so many errors, no one could be selling it and surviving. This is not worth the frustration of a free program no less an expensive app.
