Hey Brian: I know zero about iPhone or about MLO on iPhone. But I do know that there's a team working on an iPhone app that's a clean design from the ground up, and I have the impression (remember, I don't actually know anything) that when the next iPhone app comes out it will be the best MLO app on any mobile platform. I can tell you that no dates are announced and there are no guesses available as to when any dates will be announced, and nothing at all like a features list. I can also tell you that there's a procedure for applying if you think you would be a valuable addition to the beta team, and that the iPhone beta team has not been formed yet. If you have a unique vision of how this app could be really spectacular, and you are willing to spend chunks of focused time testing and clearly documenting your results, and then being one of those people on the forum helping others use the app, then you might want to consider applying. I would guess that you start with an email to [email protected] asking how to apply for the iPhone Beta. If that's wrong I'm confident somebody will be along soon to correct it.

I always wanted more the what Omnifocus gave, and while Perspectives were great, I still felt I wanted more "tweak-ability" for I wanted my system to work. Somehow came across MLO recently even though it's Windows, and decided to try the Professional trial (I'm on day 4 now I think). WOW. I mean, this thing is unbelievably configurable! That fact that it's on Windows is not bugging me too much, since I already run Parallels 8 on my Macbook Air for other work-related things. I am totally (so far) blown away by the functionality, and how smooth it runs. I'm getting the Outline/To-do list split w/o much issue, and setting up my views, filters, etc. REALLY seeing the power of the outline mode(s), and the task dependencies are much more adavanced then Omnifocus. My only hold-back (slightly) is that right now, I feel the iOS iPhone app (I use an iPhone and iPad) is not somewhat not up to snuff. The fact that it's not iPhone 5 screen optimized is annoying for sure, and also that custom views don't come over, and general navigation is...ehh..right now. ALthough I saw in the forum here that a new iPhone app is soon to be released (any confirmation of that, and changes/release notes so we know generally what's coming), which is giving me hope, because I am ALWAYS on my iPhone. I shelled out the $10 for the iPhone app, and am waiting a little bit to try the iPad all ($20). This is very important for me, because I am on my iPhone ALL the time, and need a better experience. Sounds like the recent hires of iOS development is a statement of it's forthcoming releases and changes. That being said, my Windows trial is going very well, and I am very happy so far, I can't believe it's taken me this long to find MLO (probably 'cuz I focused only on Mac apps), it's by far the most configurable system I have experienced, feature rich, and even in a VM, runs like "butter" on my system. I also am impressed with the community (I've browsed the forum and even posted a question with lightning quick responses). Also the longevity of this app gives me confidence this could be my new trusted system (especially if a new iPhone app is on it's way :-) ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
