Recommendations for to replace the lame Task program? - Motorola Q Forum

MobileKid · 03-01-2007, 03:07 PM

I use tasks within Outllook quite a bit at work and arrange them by category and then turn on alarms for the most immediate ones. Obviously the program offered on the Q is useless for both of these functions. Is there a program available that offers these features and will sync with Outlook?

Thanks very much for the input!

I did but I was hoping for some recommendations from other users. I do appreciate the link though. I hadn't looked at that particulare program. Have you used it?

I've been using Oxios ToDo List and have been really pleased with all the features it has. Too many to adequately describe here. I'm an IT Project Manager and use it for tracking my projects/taskings in projects. I haven't been able to find a suitable Project Management app for the Smartphone yet but this provides all the functionality I need in a Smartphone!

Give it a try.

Powertasks is the best I've used. There is a review in the reviews section.

I use SBSH Papyrus. It handles calendar and tasks, adding functionality to the very basic stuff that comes with the Q. You can still sync up with Outlook tasks and calendar on your PC. You can even have it change the existing shortcuts on the Q so it calls Papyrus instead of the existing software.

Good software at a good price - you can get it here at the everythingQ store at a discount!

I have just downloaded Powertasks and it seems to do what I need it to do pretty much. I too use tasks alot in Outlook and sort by catagory. You can try it free for awhile to see if you like it.

Yah, there are alot of customisation options I like such as being able to see the categories as soon as app opens and one click to open one specific category. As opposed to pressing menu/filter/then choose category like the pre-packaged tasks. This is definitely one of my favorite apps.
