But not via local sync, and, as I remember my testing, switching profiles is painful. Which is to say, using multiple lists or switching lists is not as simple or as easy as on the desktop, let alone (in essence) simultaneous use. - sync is to the currently open list on the desktop, only. Not all lists all of the time. Perhaps achievable by multiple instances on Android? If such were even possible to program. Not that I'm entirely certain this is a deal breaker / how much this matters, it was more of an observation of a welcome desktop element that didn't carry through. Or at least not intuitively. I suspect this is more of a use / learning curve issue - since a task can be blessed as a project, and zoomed to a view wherein that project task looks like the root task (for the moment). > > Regarding discussion of competitors...I think the tradeoff is worth it. > You have enough happy users here that the number that would go investigate > and tell you either why MLO is better or how similar features could be > added to MLO (both of which can be useful to the dev team), is much higher > than the number that go switch.

I think you misunderstand (or I'm misunderstanding you, it feels like you are making both positive and negative points to such discussion): (a) this public group is the first point of presence for further info / help with mlo. It is where someone looking for a solution is going to come, first. Looking over the fence and asking the neighbour what they might know or have experienced. (b) It is this very user base that you talk about, which is to say, those that ultimately chose MLO over TDL, that know the answer, and the good solid reasons for making the choice they did. And that is what my question was: Why did you choose MLO over TDL? (i.e. Help me choose it too, or figure out why to choose it, or what solutions it brings to my party that the other does not.) [All such software is way too intensive to properly evaluate for oneself quickly - it means pouring one's life into it, and migration is always a headache, and using it for some months. 'Failed' trials are too painful and time expensive.It's prudent to ask such questions in order to keep the number of forays down. ] Which is all I have done. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
