avoid software with slow development

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

LifeBalance is a brilliant product at its core, the creators seem to be smart, creative people, and they have created a great tool.

That said, if you're considering LifeBalance then you also need to consider the lack of product updates. Consider the lack of desktop integration -- nearly every app for Mac these days offers iCal integration, Address Book lookups for contacts, .Mac syncing, etc. Consider the bulky, confusing UI that hasn't been updated in years. In fact the only thing that does get updated is the Palm client for this, which really is the target audience.

So, this may seem like whining about details, but I don't mean it that way. When a user changes his/her entire method of production around an application, that user expects the application to grow with the platform, to include new technologies, etc. LifeBalance doesn't, and it's very disappointing. Maybe people who only use Palm devices find it very useful. If you're using it on a desktop, it's just frustrating.
