Whoa! What was I thinking spending 20 bucks!!!!

Ok, I’ve only owned the desktop version for a half hour and I can tell you, this calendar is almost useless unless you just like looking at its pretty colors and letting it pull items off your iCal. The lack of features is pretty much unacceptable. I’m absolutely positive that one or two of the recent 5 star ratings were written by the developers (see Lexushoops). I have the iPad version, and the desktop version simply doesn’t compare. Here’s just s few issues (too many to list)

Problems:

1. No iCloud synchronization (I STILL haven’t figures out how to sync to my iPad!)
2. Cannot add tasks from the “Task” tab. After opening a new task, entering data and clicking “Done”, nothing happens….no new item!!!
3. Tasks can only be added from the “Day” calender view
4. Sub tasks can ONLY be added AFTER you create a task, label it project, close it out, and then right click on it to select “create sub task”. (Whattttt??????)
5. Notes are tied to the date you create them. So, creat a note Monday, it doesn’t carry to Tuesday. In other applications, that’s called a “journal note” and would make sense. Here, is does not.
6. Notes cannot be opened by simply double-clicking on them. You have to right click and select “Get Info” as if you were in Finder!!!
7. No synching with Exchange or other calendars (huge issue)
8. No customizing how it syncs with iCalendar, or adding another iCalendar account (no “account” access in settings

I’m gonna stop here…it gets worse. Essentially, the more time you spend in the desktop version, the more limiting it becomes. For now, SAVE YOUR MONEY and wait. This product is not ready for prime time, and it is not worth the money!!! This should never have been posted for more than 3 or 4 bucks. Business users shouldn’t even think about this yet. If the developers can get these other features added and working, they may have a great product to sell. It’s interface says they’re on the right path. I hope they keep moving forward. But for now, it’s refund time!
