ESPIRIDION Its great to have another software alternative for incorporating GTD. I have nothing but praise for the author. He is very responsive and is providing this useful application for Mac users, and not charging a dime. I think that eventually people will be able to donate. Regarding the software itself, its NOT a good GTD implementation IMO, and heres why: 1. The interface is not fool-proof It allows many mistakes. For example, I placed 2 tasks in my Inbox. Both are emails I need to write. I have to select my @Email context, but pressing the Up or Down Arrow processes and closes the task without warning and without allowing me to enter any other information, such as Priority (which by the way I seldom use). While this was only a brief test, Im not comfortable with using the program when Im dealing with dozens of tasks, dozens of contexts, and a handful of projects. A slip of the finger and its time to go and look for the task. Not to mention that accidentally hitting Delete will remove the item without any confirmation. 2. Entering information is time consuming. I would prefer a drop-down list with my contexts and projects. Instead, I have to navigate through all my projects and contexts in order to choose the appropriate one. Again, this is not a big deal with just a few projects and contexts, but for me its very inconvenient. 3. No option regarding Delegated items. 4. No option for Waiting For items 5. No reporting options. Lets say that I want to see all the tasks I delegated to Joe Schmoe, related to project X. Or that I want a printout of all the items I have pending with my boss. I downloaded the first version of this program and before I got to try it 3 new versions had come out. I think that labeling the software as beta or release candidate would be a better option. In GTD it is imperative that you have a system you can trust. This is NOT such a system. At least not yet. I waited until now to try 1.1.3 and based on the previous review I expected to be impressed. Im not. Perhaps this will eventually be a great application, and I wish the author all the luck in the world. Ill keep on using ThinkingRock, which is what I always do after trying GTD software. That one has been the only one Ive used that truly follows Allens approach and enables me to actually Get Things Done.
