I had to junk it

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

I was really hoping that I could use this for almost everything to plan, but have given up trying. Too much data lost (doesn't back up automatically like iCal and Address Book; I have to click on another category to remember), no consistency with the layout to the simple mac window, Could not get customise themes (virtually useless save the black one), and events too difficult to read or differentiate.

A real bummer. I hope it develops into a type of Entourage for Mac, without being so bloated, but keeping what we all use in one app (address, iCal, notes, simple project management) AND remember everything as you type just in case the computer trips up and freezes.

Could be so much leaner, stronger.
