4.0 out of 5 stars Good but poor customer service, July 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Personal Organizer 4.5 (CD-ROM)

Excellent software - did not need an update since installing it under OSX 10.0 or 10.1, now running under 10.3.4 - and it outperforms rival products. Many options, customizable, rich in features.
However, the company never responds to questions, does not provide holiday calendars (you can make them yourself, but that's not a strong point obviously), and it did not provide updates in the last two years. Forf example, the export / import facility is in need of improvement (Address Book...).

They have started to advertize their product aggressively - I hope, they will now also do something with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best PIM software for the Mac, December 31, 2004

This review is from: Personal Organizer 4.5 (CD-ROM)

Personal Organizer is by far the most powerful yet user friendly personal information manager that exists for the Mac platform. It runs flawlessly on OS9 through OS 10.3. Lets touch upon a few of this program's many strengths: ability to display multiple views (month, week, day, notes, custom lists) simultaneously; ability to assign multiple categories to names, appointments, to-dos and memos; ability to make individual entries private to avoid unintended viewing of sensitive data; ability to link calandar entries to individual contact entries; and reliable synchroniztion to Palm compatible organizers. It also has a daily journal feature. The main drawback is that the software has not been updated in two years, which makes one wonder if any future updates are forthcoming and how that might impact future software/hardware compatibility issues.

At first, I was overwhelmed by all this could do but quickly caught on and fell in love with it! Lots of helps to get the most out of this fully customizable organizer. A must for anyone who uses mac and who loves efficiency. Highly recommended software.
