Tasks+Cal+Sync App Reviews

I thought this would alow you to sync calendar but there is no path choice foe events. I also have not be abale to get it to work yet, but I am checking to see if the problem is from our end d

I give this 5 stars, not becaue it is perfect, but because it genuinely adds something sorely missing from the ipod touch / iphone. There are only 2 integrate off line calendar add-on apps that I know of, this and Smart Time. Todo+Cal gives an excellent day and month and list view, with colors that make it so much easier to see you tasks, to categorize them and prioritise them. The todo app has sub-tasks, but there are better. But for the calendar, there is no challenger. Still needs recurring tasks and events. Sometimes it crashes when I attempt to delete an event. But a great start and you just feel confident that the developers will keep on improving it. Now, they need to fulfill that promise. But if you want or need a sensible calendar then this is it.

I have been looking for a calendar/planner app since I got my iphone and this is seriously the best! It still needs some improvement such as recurring events, and reminders for todos. But great!

Ill give it 5 stars on the assurance that recurring events will soon be added as promised. Thats the only shortfall I see in an otherwise great app.

Apples refusal to allow other calendars to sync with the iPhone calendar application is a real disservice to loyal iPhone users. Thank you Synthesis for developing this option, which will have to do for now. Who knows, you may update and improve this application so that by the time Apple corrects its mistake, many of us may not even care. Thank you Lukas Zeller for this application and your responses to my questions. Please keep adding to the calendar documentation.

Awesome idea. Makes organizing very easy. A calendar and todo list together no need to switch apps. Everything Im looking for but needs work. No recurring events. Needs option to see to dos on calendar and to see calendar events on first page. Needs sub-tags for calendar. I would like to be able to see notes on the task or event instead of having to go into the edit menu. Again very great start. Hoping to see some updates. Ive tried several todo apps and this can be all I need. Great app

This thing needs an audible alarm. Once it has that, it will be an excellent app....

Perfect idea, poor execution. Calandar crashes frequently, that is coming from a very tolerant user. And when your adding a note to an appointment the note doesnt save. I like the concept of being able to tag calanders and to dos, but the frequent crashes make this a difficult app to keep. Oh well.... Back to the drawing board.

Cant even do anually repeating birthdays or the first of every month or the first friday of every month!

My employer uses Oracle Cal, and Ive been waiting for over-the-air sync capability using SyncML and without having to go through another conduit to sync my cal. While there are some quirks with the UI that I plan to post on the developers forum, the basic sync functionality has worked consistently for me in the week that Ive been using it.

This application is good overall but I would really like to have the re-occuring calendar event feature. It would also be great to be able to see the non-completed ToDo" list in the Calendar view.

UPDATED REVIEW... Please fix the notes not saving in the calendar. Otherwise...good app! Sync works well and nicely gets around Apples issues. Would like to see... * Recurring events. * Import from built in calendar.

Thanks for adding recurring option, however the "custom" recurring option is not working. Also, still waiting to have todo tasks show on the calendar, or calendar events shown in todo list. Otherwise great App. Many subtasks.

this is one of the best calendars Ive found for my iPod, but thats setting the bar low. my handspring visor Ive had since 2003 came with a similar calendar for free. this app might rival that one if only todos could be linked with the calendar. and srsly after paying $15 I really shouldnt even have to ask! obviously many other people have asked for it!

Updated 2/9/09: Just downloaded 1.6 and you can now enter recurring appointments/events. This application works beautifully. Only app other than "Smart Time" that I was able to find that could handle my to-dos AND appointments and scheduled events/holidays in one place with a very friendly and intuitive UI. Problem with Smart Time is that you have to page through one day at a time to see whats on your agenda! You cant view any week or month at a glance. Impossible for planning! Todo+Cal+Sync allows you to Left-Right swipe from a To-Do List screen (broken down in order of priority/date due), Monthly view, daily view, and a summary calendar view where you can see everything upcoming at a glance. All scheduled events can be color--coded and easily customized with whatever tags work for you. Break each tag down even further (such as family into kids, me, spouse). View all items on your calendar, or choose only the categories that you want to view by simply touching that category at the bottom of the screen. No problems at all syncing with scheduleworld.com. Another great feature: email complete to-do lists, not just one at a time!

So, after writing back and forth with the developer, I have to raise my opinion a bit and say that the support has been responsive. I think the instructions and the FAQ could stand a LOT of improvement, and there needs to be a LOT of clarification about how to sync-you have to join GooSync and use their path, and after you finally go through all of that, it only shows +30 days or -7days from sync date unless you sign up and pay for the Premium service. As for programs that sync with Google Calendar, Im still sold on Saisuki. Cheaper, easier to set up syncing, and clear, concise instructions. You just cant go wrong with that program. This one is very expensive, complicated and not as good as Saisuki.

Been waiting for an app that would sync to Oracle Calendar at work. Took me about half an hour to configure but it is working like a charm now. Hope updates to events will be forthcoming. Despite its steep price tag I am very happy with the app-- it is extremely useful.

No doubt there are some great ideas in this app and some of them are nicely implemented (for example, subtasking), however, the app is not ready for prime time ... not yet. What, Id like to see: - more pleasant GUI (larger buttons, custom font sizes, etc.) - less taps to accomplish simple data inputs - integrated to-do and calendar view when a to-do has a start or due date - resolve occasional crashes - while syncML is OK, most people never heard of it -- add a more popular solution like direct Google Cal sync and some of the more popular services such as Toodledo or RTM There are lots of positives in this app but looking at the combination of relatively high price and features offered, this app needs lots of work to justify the expense. On the other hand, this could be a to-do/Cal combo killer app once properly implemented.

In general I love this application. Its by far the best organizer for the Ipod/Iphone out there. I do wish it would show tasks from my todo list on my calendar page based on due dates Ive assigned or at least had a view that put the calendar and todo list side by side. It also has some kinks with placing starting and ending times to events in the calendar. Occasionally, when Im trying to change the start and end time on an event, the application will switch the opposite time. So for instance, if Im adjusting the start time, it will automatically change the end time, but when I go to fix the end time, it will then change the start time I just set. The application will also shut down spontaneously and has a tendency to delete events when I sync it with other calendars. The last one is a pretty serious issue that the creators of the application really need to work out. But Im still pretty happy overall because the application has so many features with so much flexibility. I havent been able to find anything like it elsewhere.

Ive been using this application since version 1.0. Other than my iPhones built-in mail app, this application is the single-most used app I have. I was reluctant at first to buy the app because of the price, but Ive never regretted my decision once I did. With this application, I stay on top of all my todos for work, home, and "play". I keep up to date on what tasks Ive assigned my employees by using sub-tasks (one top-level task for each employee and all their "todos" as sub-tasks). I even can email the employee their task list every week with just a couple clicks. Ive found the developers to be highly responsive to my suggestions and they have incorporated a number of my suggestions into version 1.6. Quite simply, its my favorite app.
