3.0 out of 5 stars Almost a great app September 14, 2011

This is almost as good as the Iphone app. I've had PI since 2003. I love this product but its missing icons and a Widget. Apparently though, the Amazon app is missing the ability to sync with Google. I tried the Android Market version and you can with that one. Until you can sync with Google and get a Widget, it gets three stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars No good for Fire users December 7, 2011

When installed on the Kindle Fire, this app doesn't sync with Google Calendar - it only works as a standalone application. Without sync, this app is pretty useless.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost, but not quite... June 21, 2011

By jmagsho

I used this app for years with Windows Mobile, and it was my favorite killer app. I was excited to see the android port until I realized that it does not sync tasks with Outlook. As an avid GTD'er who relies heavily on my phone as a pda, and needs to sync all of it with a corporate exchange server, this simply won't work for me. It's a shame too, because PI is a great app.
