The Omni Group

Nothing yet… :(

Silly apple store - don’t you know that the GTD horde is going to come for you?

Don’t you know they threatened to shoot puppies?

C’mon Apple store - make our day!

At the moment, my iteration of the Apple Store (U.S.) does NOT acknowledge the availability of the iPad app. The message is “Your request could not be completed. The item you’ve requested is not currently available in the US Store.”

Grrrr…

It is really hard to decide what to do first, rush to App Store or leave this post…

So exciting..

Somebody at Apple forgot to DL and install OF, I think.  Hopefully s/he’ll wake up soon!

OmniFocus for iPad now is marked as available, but it may take a few minutes for that change to propagate through the App Store servers.

We’re all waiting for it, people… the delay is probably that Apple’s servers only refresh the store at set intervals, so even though they’ve made it available, we have to hammer the snot out of the Apple servers until we see it :) Let’s bring that sucker to its knees!

Apple will learn how to handle OmniOutliner when it’s ready…

Hi, so it is not available for App Store China???? So disappointed? Can somebody tell me why when all other Omni products are well available?

People chill the hell out.  It’s not available in any country yet. Apples servers have to refresh.  Geeeeze.

I can’t believe that there are so many people that are that this obsessed with omnifocus for ipad. Oh Bugger!, I am one of them. Shouldn’t go by time zone, Australia first.

@Josh: “People chill the hell out.”

Why? ;-)

Some people need to relax and enjoy the irony of sitting at the computer or iPad, refreshing the iTunes store and waiting for… a productivity app to appear.

I love instant gratification too, but jeez louise, calm down a bit ;)

Refresh…refresh…

AAAAAAAAA I can’t take it anymore! *jumps out the window, screaming hysterically*

@Tom:

Funniest comment today.  Ha!  Now… something about work… interrupting my refreshing of the iTunes store…

That looks, beautiful. Just sadly, Omnifocus has never really been in my college kid price range :\

So excuse me while I drool.

Yes! Got it!

Just bought it! It is now in the US Store!

/vjl/

Not in the Spanish store… :-(((

Belgium before the UK?! What is the world coming to!

:)

What’s the price, people?

Just got it from the Swiss store, for 44 CHF.

39.99 us

Got it! Love it”!!!

Seems to be well worth the forty bucks!

Omni:

Very, very nice.  At first blush, well worth $40.  This seems to be the kind of functionality that I was hoping for with the iPhone (clearly you were limited by screen real estate).  This’ll become my primary OF platform. 

Thanks!

Absolutely awesome.

Fastest sync ever. Beautiful UI.

Thanks so much OmniFolks!

Tom knocked the cover off that ball, to be sure :-)

Ken, maybe next time you should push the button an hour before H-Hour!

@ WooHoo!

Awesome well worth the wait and the price. You guys have done it again!

As a stand-alone application, the $40 price tag seems reasonable.

As an extension of the desktop version, $40 seems a bit steep.

I’m sure you guys struggled with that, but for someone who already has $100 invested in OmniFocus, I’m finding it a bit hard to swallow.

Congrats on the launch! I know a lot of hard work went into it.

Now in the uk store I’m delighted to say.
many thanks the omni team

So far, it looks really good. The jump from item details to context or project is a great thing, if subtle. The cool, rather abstracted look is fine with me.

Awesome. Worth the wait.

I LOVE the forecast feature! When can we have that on the desktop version? (You had to know that question was inevitable.)

Wow, I wish the desktop app was this good. Please consider adopting this UI for the desktop as well.

On first blush…wow! It looks fantastic and I love some of the new features like forecast. As others have mentioned, this looks stronger than the desktop version (assume some of the features, like forecast, are on the agenda to be added to the DT version).

Great job Omni Group!

It is just awesome!!!

I got it all syncing wirelessly between my devices via Bluehost WebDisk - Mac, iPhone, iPad.

Great Job You Have Done, Omni Group!!!

$40.  so, $140 for a feature rich check list on all devices.  yikes.  I now wish I would have just waited for the ipad and skipped the rest. as much as i want it, not sure i can do it.  :-(

Yeah, seriously, good job on the app and all, I just don’t have that kind of money to throw around. :(

There are some ways to syn with Toodledo.
Thanks

Don’t forget Todo for iPad as well at $4.99… I have a colleague that uses it and loves it… I may look in to that app.

Great job guys.

I have been watching the updates to the blog postings with amusement…

As for the pricing, I think it is spot on. The people who think you should give it away at half price are true cynics - they know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. We’d all like things to be free, but quality software takes time and care, and those hints take money…

Nice work and keep up the iPad development!

Thank you
It’s marvellous

Hi,

The £23.99 does seem a little steep and has put me off purchasing this app that I’d been waiting for. I’m probably going to stick with Taska and Toodledo or wait for the RTM iPad client to come out. 

Does OmniFocus for the iPad have a webbased task entry route as I’d like to be able to enter tasks quick from my work PC rather than trying to use my iPad keyboard.

Are there any bulk import options for tasks from other sites?

rgds/alex

Its very interesting to see the various viewpoints on pricing. OmniFocus is a different CLASS of task management app than Taska, Toodledo, etc. If those apps meet your needs, then they are clearly the right choice for you.

If, like so many others, you need a MUCH higher level of task management, then $40 is not a high price to pay for all that OmniGroup have packed into this next-level app. I hope I don’t come off as snobbish (I’m honestly not, really), but I value my time (and so does my employer) at much more than $40/hr. OF will save me countless hours (vs. other methods of task management), AND is my primary tool for keeping on track in my professional and personal life. If that isn’t worth $40 (or $140 for all platforms), then I don’t know what is.

I also appreciate the resources that have to be dedicated to customer support. OmniGroup have never disappointed in this area, and I’d much rather have a smaller user base (due to a higher price) that the OG Ninjas can support well, than a huge base of “casual” ($4.99) users clogging the support system.

And those folks saying “too expensive” AND asking for more features (web interface, RTM sync, etc)... classic. *rolls eyes*

Thanks OmniGroup! You’ve exceeded my expectations. Well done!

Personally, I like the new icon sooo much better.  So far so good.  Thanks!

It’s here, I have it, I love it.

So how about some updates on OmniOutliner and OmniPlan for iPad?

(What? Too soon?) ;)

Chad, if you bought the iPhone version between the introduction date of the iPad (April 3, 2010) and today, you can get a $25 iTunes Store gift card if you mail them a copy of your receipt.  See the details at http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnifocus-ipad/support/

Awesome product so far.
Fine price. I don’t really need the desktop version, and this is sooooo much better than the iphone version.

The interface is excellent. My only complaint is that I would prefer a + new action icon on the Project Headers. I only accidently figured out how to add an action directly to a project in multi project list by longpressing the header until the menu came up. That makes it take rather too long to add. Let’s just get a + icon already. My least favorite OF task is adding project and context item by item from the inbox.

Oh, the nested project multi list view UI is excellently designed. Folders look great, and the header scrolls elegantly to stay in view. Realky really nicely done there.

Downloaded and played around with the iPad app. Great interface. Seems very intuitive. With the credit for recent iPhone app buyers, the price point seems very reasonable.

@Renaud
Thanks for the link to Spootnik. I have seen that before. It’s a bit of a kludgy hack. I’d rather something with the elegance that Omni would do if they made a web interface.
There was a web interface in the pre-Alpha Mac version of OF once upon a time, but it got dropped. I wish they would bring that back.

Great Release!. easier on the eyes than even the desktop version. pricing is consistently high as expected for an omni product, but the value it provides does offset it.

Thanks for the work and the resultant great tool!

Guy’s $39 for someone who has already bought on Mac as well as your other apps is not really nice or reasonable.. Should be $19.99 for those of us who own it for MAC.

I think I might try something else for IPAD and maybe Mac Too

Bros,

Been an OF user since it was a set of scripts from Kinkless to now on the iPhone 4 and don’t know what to do with $39.99 for another app when I’ve got it already on the iPhone. Please consider some sort of bundle or deal. Sure, the store doesn’t support that or whatever, but I really don’t expect the Omnigroup to presumably come up with some new features to justify and entirely new app. This is nice, but not motivating enough

http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnifocus-ipad/support/

Thanks

@Steve no need to defend their choices in pricing (you can extend that all day into the cost the spend on hosting this blog), sure, but the problem is the version on the iPhone works damn well so what’s so compelling to buy another app that does the same thing, but whizzier? That’s the software path the Adobe et al do to get you to upgrade just not something I’d except from Omni and if they can get it great, make money on it. I just don’t see the value. Seriously the iPad’s visuals wear out after a while and you can expect that with flipboard, which is the most elegant content scraping social book marker ever made, but at the end of the day it’s still a content scraper.

So OF for the iPad is still just a GTD app based on another GTD app—it’s not an entirely new app that does some new magical and revolutionary thing we’ve never seen before.

I have friends in mind to show OFiPad to, and they’d freak out if I showed them the desktop version. Freak out in a bad way. It’s intimidating. They’ll see this and get it. The desktop is irrelevant to them and they don’t have iPhones.

Nice to see it but I’m a wee bit shocked by the $40 price. I’ve purchased Omni Focus for Mac ($80) and Omni Focus for iPhone ($20). I’ve even purchased Omni Outliner.

It’s hard to spend another $40 for the added iPad integration. I understand making profit and recouping development and other costs but I I’ve reached a personal limit here. It seems that there should be some option for loyal purchasers. Plus, without a trial option it’s hard to know if I’d really use the iPad version.

Just my 2 cents.

Kevin Monahan

@Kevin Monahan: Actually, the Omni Group does offer a trial version. You can get your money back within 30 days after purchase if you end up not liking it. And this is a seriously nice offer, since OG is not getting their money back from Apple, so this is pure customer service. Perhaps this helps with your decision.

@ Steve that’s correct and if Omni has a hit with this good for them. My opinion is about my concerns and choice and isn’t an attempt to persuade anyone else. I will say if Omni offered me an incentive, I’d do it. That’s also tied to how I use the iPad. It’s another device and not primary.

@DL Byron ... that’s a very good point as well, that I think might be the biggest stumbling block for people: “...the iPad. It’s another device and not primary…” That I think is the big issue. For those who use it as a secondary device, they may see OF-iPad as an “add-on” to OF-Desktop. For those who see OF-iPad as “primary product”... the price is more than reasonable.

Difficult, for OG, is this: If OF-iPad were the only version available (no iPhone vsn, no Desktop vsn), then I think many people might agree that $50 or maybe even $60 for the product would be quite fair. (Sure, Things is cheaper, but it’s a different app, and it’s a “to each his own” philosophy at that point, just like how MS Office is a different product from iWork, but it’s all in what you’re looking for and want). But as a “companion product” it seems that people see $20 or $30 as being more reasonable.

There’s the conundrum: It might be worth as much as $60, or more reasonably $50, as a standalone. As a companion, between $20 and $30 is reasonable. What’s the average? Between 20 and 60, or 30 and 50, the average is $40. Since the App Store doesn’t provide a model of “purchase as a complementary app” vs “purchase as a standalone” OG is left with the difficult choice of simply choosing the average price of $40. Some people think it’s a rip off, others think they’re getting a deal. For me, I am using my iPad more than my desktop now, except for software development and photoshop usage. Everything else I do on the iPad. It’s a lifestyle choice I’ve made. I’d rather invest in iPad software now than desktop software.

One way OG could get around this would be to offer two versions: OF-iPad-Desktop-Companion product for, say, $25, which would have required sync capabilities. In other words, you can’t use the product unless you sync the database with OF-Desktop. (Seems weird to suggest that a feature enhancement should create a lower price, but bear with me…). Then offer OF-iPad-Standalone for $50 which cannot sync. Sound crazy? Perhaps… but if you want OF-iPad, and don’t have the desktop version, you’re getting really good software for a price that you may or may not like, but again, to each his own. If you have OF-Desktop, then you benefit from having the same software, but must use the sync capabilities for it to work, thereby ensuring that OG is selling the discounted version to existing OF-Desktop users only. Might be a way around Apple’s uni-price model.

Heck, they could even offer an in-app purchase.. if you buy the Desktop-Companion version for $25, but choose not to sync, you can upgrade to the non-syncing one for $25 to avoid the required syncing. Then, if someone decides to buy OF-Desktop, and they already have OF-iPad (which they paid $50 for) then OG offers them OF-Desktop for $25 less, since OG has control over that pricing directly.

Just a thought?

“Quite simply if you priced it at $5, $10 or $15 you’d sell thousands more copies and make a lot more money, it’s as simple as that regardless of what your existing users say.”

How do you know this to be true?

>Omnifocus and can’t justify trying it on my iPad because of the $40 price tag.

They offer a money back guarantee for 30 days. 

I am amazed at how much I’ve resisted buying it even knowing that I can easily try it for 4 weeks to see if I like it - to see if I can justify it.

All of us with ipads can afford it - almost by definition of owning a luxury item tablet computer. 

I’ll get it tomorrow so I don’t keep myself up fiddling tonight. If it isn’t the shit, i’ll get my money back. Pretty risk free.

I’m more annoyed with the silly $5 loophole created today with the OF iPhone rebates than the $40.

Brandon, I’m really sorry that the reimbursements left you feeling like we didn’t care about you; we didn’t intend to make folks feel that way. Whenever possible, we want customers to feel good about us and the products they purchase from us. We know we’ll never reach 100% customer satisfaction, but we’re going to try to get as close to that mark as we possibly can.

I’m hoping it’ll help to clarify the reasoning behind the purchase reimbursements we’re doing. They aren’t meant as a sales gimmick or a “new customer discount”. In fact, it’s not a discount at all; we’re reimbursing the purchases a specific group of customers made. Customers with iPads but no iPhone. (Will some folks with both devices take advantage of this program? Probably. Don’t like it, wish they wouldn’t, but hey, them’s the breaks.)

Why? So they can buy the product they really wanted - OmniFocus for iPad - without paying the extra cost of the iPhone product they were using temporarily.

Ideally, all of our applications would have been available on iPad launch day, but our team is not big enough to do that. When we decided that OmniFocus for iPad wouldn’t be available at iPad launch day, part of the reason we did that was because the option of using the iPhone app on the device was there.

Now that the iPad application is ready, iPad-only customers can use either product. Customers with both devices can either buy both products, or use the iPhone application on both. And if someone wants to use the iPhone app on their iPad to save some money, they should have that option. That’s great.

What we didn’t want was to collect *extra* money from someone that was willing to wait for us to finish the iPad application and use the iPhone one in the meantime. We want those folks to spend the same amount as everyone else that chooses to buy OmniFocus for iPad.

Brian,

I sincerely would like to know why you chose not to offer an introductory price to reward those who have already spent so much on your products?

Frank, time-limited sales make one group of people - the ones that get the discount - happy. Unfortunately, there’s another group - the people that don’t - who end up unhappy that they missed out. The longer your application is around, the larger that second group gets: folks hear that there was a sale and someone else paid less than they did. (Brandon’s concerns today would be a slightly different example of this sort of situation.)

Worse, people don’t end up in either group on the basis of loyalty - folks who hear about the sale and buy get it. Folks on trips, without ‘net access, who were busy, or who just plain forgot are left out and feel bad.

We have some of the best customers anywhere and we really appreciate them - but we would prefer to earn our customers’ loyalty with great applications, fair treatment, and top-notch support. We feel those are far more valuable in the long run.

Brian,

I love omnigraffle and would purchase this too (even though I already have ToDo which is a pretty good app for my needs) if the app was universal for £24.

I can sort of see why this is difficult with the iPhone version already released and a bunch of customers that might then expect to get the iPhone version as a free upgrade.  I wish there was a way around this as I’ve read all the posts here and really want to purchase but I need both iphone and ipad to enable me to capture tasks conveniently and I don’t want to spend another £36 (£24 for iPad +£12 for iPhone) to switch. I would probably spend £30 if I had a universal option?

@Brian

Thanks for the explanation. Sorry to admonish you guys for trying to do the right thing. The money doesn’t really bother me.  I’m not sure why, but the day long $5 loophole bothered me. I couldn’t be bothered to jump through that hoop.

@Richie

Hmm. I can’t find that clause in the OmniFocus iPad app description either now that you mention it. You will see it mentioned in the OmniGraffle app description that Omni offers a 30 day money back guarantee on _all_ their apps, so it should apply to OF iPad too.

Maybe Omni can confirm here.

Got it yesterday afternoon. I can already tell that OF for my Mac and iPhone will see little use from here on out. Love the new Forecast feature.

I have no problem with the price or lack of introductory pricing. When I work hard, I am entitled to be paid for my efforts. When OmniGroup works hard, they are entitled to be paid for their efforts. We, on the other hand, are not *entitled* to any discounts. OmniGroup has to pay its employees, and the employees can’t buy groceries with our goodwill. :-)

Yep, guarantee applies to all our products. It’s not always possible to include that text in the App Store descriptions, but we will always honor it.

The statement about the company methods and purposes on the Omni website speaks of good character.  The number of emails posted by its employees at four in the morning give witness to energy and dedication.  The excellence of the program demonstrates skill.  The success of Omni group seems no accident, nor undeserved.  One hopes they have more.  LA

i cant sync via wifi!!! still on searching… and dropbox option is welcome… i’m disappointed.

I’ll just add that the UI design, attention to detail, and usability for both OmniFocus and OmniGraffle are far ahead of most other iPad apps.  I think OmniGroup’s prices reflect their emerging role as a premiere iPad software developer.  Serious apps I think for getting serious work done :)

First off let me say that I like the result of your work and that I consider the wait worth it. Good integration, fast sync, overall very useful, the forecast/week-view is brilliant and very useful, means I save time by not having to check my calendar when planing meetings etc for the week and want to know what all I have on my plate. Takes about 15 minutes to learn it to a point where it can integrate into your daily workflow, everything well there. If I could snap my fingers and add one feature I would ask for an integrated calendar so you only need one app/do not have to switch.

About the price. It costs 40 Euros and for that you get a piece of software that, as far as I can tell after a day of using it, is properly coded, did not crash yet, does exactly what I want it to do, syncs with the desktop and iphone version. It can add due dates into your calendar so you have reminders with audio and everything. It saves me time and makes my life a lot easier (I am an attorney in a large law firm and the time that we charge our clients is not exactly cheap).

And that gets me to the point. People here who say that there are other GTD apps are of course correct. They are even cheaper. Things for example. If you are a student or want to manage your family, it will do a good job for you. Its more simplistic and does not have features that you, as a non-professional user, might not want to pay for. Nothing wrong in giving that a try.

I bought things. I used it for a little time. I uninstalled it. It does not sync via cloud/internet. It lacks essential features for people who use this as a business tool. Yes, I do have music on my iPad. But its mainly a tool to do my work more efficiently. And this software actually saves me time, it already did even though its saturday and I had to set it up. I would say I make decent money in my profession. If I save one hour of time, OF for iPad is absolutely free and I even make money from that. If you are in a profession that pays well or if your working hours are charged to your customer, this software is not at all expensive. If you are a poor student (don’t get me wrong, I once was a student too, obviously) then you might consider something else if the money is too much for you. But then again…properly planing your learning and research for just 40 bucks? I would invest that. I actually just did.

Ken (and everybody), good job. I like it. I think I invested my money well.

Now I am trying the OmniSync. Can any of you OF guys give me a bit of insight (can be via Email or such) into how it is compared to Mobile.Me, feature wise? Thank you.

Chris

Thanks, Bill. If I have Mobile.Me right now (which I am also using for to sync contacts and calendars between mac, iphone and ipad), are there additional features/benefits from using OmniSync to sync OF?

I see. I signed up for it, lets see how it works out, thanks :)

To the OmniCrew, if I may ask, in your last dispatch about that you said that outliner would come this summer, project this fall. Is that still the timeline?

Thanks,

Chris

Kristoffer, a password could protect your data from prying eyes and little fingers doing things in OmniFocus, but I don’t think there is anything Omni can do to prevent your kids from erasing OmniFocus (and all of its data) from your iPad.  Make sure you sync every time you make some changes so that they’ll be backed up on your sync server!

I really like it.  One thing that I cannot figure out.  Can I forward email from the iPad directly into omnifocus?

Since it’s been confirmed that Omni Group offers a 30 day money back guarantee on all versions including iPad, the price is no longer such a big deal and there’s no excuse for not trying it which I most certainly will do. I’ve never used Omnifocus before, I hope I like it as much as everyone here does!

Dear David, you can create tasks from the iPad Safari browser by installing a simple plugin that is provided from within the iPad-OmniFocus app. It works like a bookmark and if you click it while visiting any website it will open OF and prompt you with the mask to enter a new task. In the notes field of this new task it will automatically enter a link to the site you were browsing. So essentially you can do this, create the task “update company website” and when you go back to the task it lets you click the link so you get where you felt the need to create the task.

As for Emails I am not sure. I did not find any such function yet and I guess it would mean to manipulate apple’s mail app which you will not be allowed to do. Maybe they found a way though, thats a question for somebody from the Omni staff.

I am using OF on my iPad since it came out. I own both the mac and iPhone version and I have to say that, even if you do not own any of those additional ones, the iPad version alone lets you organize and plan your tasks pretty well. I can recommend using it if you need a task solution.

Thanks for the follow up Brian.  I think I’ll wait to see how the product matures on the iPad before I jump in.  Based on the feedback I’ve seen, people are definitely passionate about the product and I’m anxious to try it myself.

I was initially enthused to hear about the release, but upon checking the iPad store, I see the decision has been made to price gouge us again with a AUD$48 application.

Given that I’ve already invested fairly heavily into OmniFocus with the iPhone and Desktop versions, a AUD$48 dig at my wallet feels extremely unreasonable just to get yet another copy of an application I already use so I don’t have to run it rescaled (or with massive black borders) on my iPad.

Whilst some people may be happy to empty their wallets into your pockets for a piece of software that can’t be trialled or refunded without insane amounts of drama, I simply will not.

Hi,

In your blog, you asked for feedback.  I was looking forward to my iPad so that I could use Omnifocus and Stanza for reading books.

I am a bit suprised that the iPad version costs twice as much as the iphone version.  I was suprised that it was not a free upgrade from an iphone version to a “universal version”.  However I can reason out that people took the time to adapt it to the iPad.  So it should cost money.  However, I definitely do not think it is worth $39.99 since I already bought Omnifocus for my Mac (Now listed at $80 US) and my iPhone ($19.99 Australian ).

Maybe I don’t take full advantage of it.

I think I will try and use iPhone version even though iphone versions look bad on the iPad(IMHO).  They seem to render in iphone dimensions then scale up to iPad screen dimensions.  I guess this is why fonts look really bad around the edges (ie pixelated).

I hate to sound negative.  I like your software generally.

Regards,

Ben

PS How can I judge how good the app is on iPad?  Maybe it is so much better but I cannot tell because I have to pay upfront.  Anyway I am likely to fall into camp #2 from Bill’s post: those who think they’ve paid enough already, no matter how extensive the feature list.

@Bill:

I do think that there is another category of people.  People who don’t think adding features will make them buy the software.  They will look like #2 but because adding features will not bring them to purchase but really they want to pay money proportional to what features they use not how many features are in the product.  I guess the recourse for those people is to buy a different product.  I do not buy the argument that one should never reduce the price of a product, instead increase the value (ie add features).  I know other people feel the same way.  I find lots of non-techy people cannot understand the need to keep paying for new software with new versions with new features that they will never use.

The reason I brought this up is that it is the camp that I fit into.

Also,  I think the perception is that, since omnifocus iPhone just runs on the iPad adapting the already existing code to work on the iPad should be trivial.  I would never say that because I work in software development.  Some things that look trivial somehow are not.

Regards,

Ben

I’ve run all three versions through their paces for a few days now. This is industrial strength stuff and is not for everyone, but I think I’m using many of the features and discovering more every day. I have tried so many of the task/list/project tools on the market, but all seem to fall short at some point. I swallowed hard at the cost, but in the end, I felt it was going to be worth it over the long haul. Great! Thanks.

This was the longest I have ever waited, in anticipation, for an app. OF team, it is a triumph! You have surpassed my expectations. I managed to get the app downloaded and synced minutes before going on leave for a week. I have been offline now for over a week on a narrowboat on the Ashby canal learning the app, so this is my first chance for feedback. It is truly brilliant. The best feature? A hard one, but I think the review function is what I would have to choose. It makes the weekly review so easy, and for the hardest part, and most important, part of the GTD process, you have removed further friction and created an amazing thing. 

Thanks!

Please autorise me in beta server sync. Me very need))

I’m exceptionally pleased with the iPad version of OmniFocus and, I have to say, walking through its functionality has helped me learn to use the desktop version of OF far more effectively.  Before this, it was mostly a way for me to replicate a grouped task list between my desktop and my iPhone.  Now I am doing a much better job reviewing my tasks and forecasting my work.

I’ve found a few bugs (small things like the occasional use of the wrong font color until you collapse a group and then re-expand it), but nothing major.  And I must agree with some posters that the layout is more compelling to me than the desktop, though the desktop has some additional features.

I’m happy with your products and, as their cost (even taken together) is less than most of the other software I use for my business, I have no complaints about pricing either.  Good job—please keep up the good work.

Kurt, in Japan

Loving OF on iPad, but I strongly agree with Mike Bennewitz, above. Adding tasks takes way too long. If you’re in a project, you should be able to quickly add new items, just like the desktop (or even iPhone) versions. That’s my biggest gripe so far. Otherwise, I’m very happy with the product. Well done!
