I have used Daylite since the days of version 1.
Back in April of 2006 I posted some comments about Daylite 3, but abstained from rating the software. Additionally, I would recommend Daylite to other Mac users, with the warning that some bugs were present and some features had not yet been implemented.

Unfortunately time has passed and basic features that users have requested are still not implemented. For example, having recurring tasks with assignable timeblocks is not an option.
And some bugs are still present. Setting a reminder for a recurring activity is not working for me, as the reminder is not saved and Daylite does not give me any notification. And for some reason, for another activity I got a reminder the day after the activity was scheduled.

Yesterday I moved back to Entourage. Daylite was -and perhaps still is- very promising. Entourage has been more reliable, more convenient, has more features that I need and use, and overall has proven to be a better tool for my needs.

I still hope to see Daylite improve. After all, I invested time and money in the program. But I can’t recommend the software anymore. I have even avoided purchasing Billings 2 in spite of their discount price during the beta or offers through MacUpdate and MacZOT.

And seeing all those 5-star ratings from people who have never reviewed anything else leaves a bad impression. Just look at davidmrees, versiontracker495, Ladymacbeth1, allanfm. Questionable, at the very least.

For now it’s back to Entourage, and I look forward to the new Office version later this year. Daylite could be an amazing application, and I do hope it eventually delivers on its promise.
