An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A veteran on the market: one of the first organizers from the Palm Pilot era. Offers GTD tasks with multiple Google calendars in one view. But sync is unstable: tasks disappear after updates. Previously purchased features have been moved behind a new barrier.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I like seeing my calendar and tasks in one screen. The time-sensitive information on my calendar affects what tasks I can get done and when.

I am a big Franklin Covey user but my lifestyle is just not conducive to carrying around paper all the time and one of the cornerstones of FC system is always have it with you. My phone is always with me!
