GRYPHONENT  I’m disappointed with the forced move to upgrade to the Pro version of Timeline. Dropping support and future upgrades for the standard version, instead focusing on the overpriced pro version is not a strategy that will be appreciated by users.

F451  ¥¥¥ Licensed users should be aware that the standard version of 2.7.1 will be the last version of the standard versions. If you want any newer versions past 2.7.1 you must upgrade to the 3D version. ¥¥¥

SANS DIEU RIEN  They have recently updated their website--very professional. I don't know if they had a previous link for educators, but now they do! There is an educators' discount, that makes it even more tempting for any educator to get this stunning program. As I thumbed through the various tutorials, I'm finally realizing that this program is chalked full of potential. My lesson plans and class notes will never be the same.

SANS DIEU RIEN  As a teacher, it's too expensive for the couple of times I may use it. Perhaps adding a feature such as hyperlinks to each event would be cool: Quicktime, audio, etc. I would be hard pressed to spend $65 for shock and awe.

GROOVYDAVE  A nice little app that creates wonderful motion for presentation.

Would like to see:

A way to import other themes and templates.

Expandable windows on events. Would be a lot easier when adding tasks to events.

HERVé 5  - idea and realization both look great

- when I tried to import my iCal (intense, 5-users-based and extending 3 years in the past) the previous version just crashed :-(

Will try again with this one

I'd say: OK for small timelines of a couple of dozen items...

- lacks flexibility for defining time interval

JOHN2563  I sent email to the developer, and I am still waiting to hear back from him. It has been several days.

I like the concept but it still needs a lot of work.

Major problem with exporting a timeline, into a Tab- Delimited file, then reimporting the same file, and it loses information. Useless Feature, if it cannot work correctly.

ADAM BEHRINGER  John, I'm sorry you haven't been able to get through to me. I take pride in providing great service, so I'm disappointed that we weren't able to connect earlier. I searched my e-mails including those caught in my Spam filters and didn't find any e-mails from you...

Would you please try again? My e-mail is Adam at BeeDocuments dot com.

I did try an export to tab-delimited file and then re-imported it and it seems to work for me. Maybe if you send me your specific document I can work out what the problem is.

Thanks, Adam

ADAM BEHRINGER  Bee Docs' Timeline handles dates back to about 1,000,000 BC. I understand that some people would like an even larger range for geological timelines.

NERRADV  I just downloaded this app and found it very easy to use. I have been looking for something that would visually display the projects that we have in our office with meetings, deadlines, etc.

I am not a left brained project manager geek and the project management apps like OmniPlan, Merlin, etc are just too complicated and unattractive for what I was looking for.

Bee Docs makes it quick to set up a timeline that our designers and technicians can understand and is easy on the eyes. While it isn't as detailed as a PM app, it more quickly shows us what is overlapping and where the fires are. It does let you add pictures and notes to each event which is also very nice.

It is missing a few features that would be nice such as the ability to manipulate fonts and manual layout. Automatic layout works though so not too much of a complaint.

I don't know of anything that is perfect so I give it a 4. I tried a couple other "timeline" apps as well but I ended up buying Bee Docs Timeline.
