I get an increasing number of action items via texting/messaging. But the basic texting apps (as well as other messaging apps e.g. FB Messenger and WhatsApp) do not have very good (fast / flexible) ways of managing them or distributing them.
The very minimum of features I am looking for are: 1) A way to flag a message or conversation so that I remember to follow up. There is a difference between "fluff" social conversations and an action item - something I need to revert on or respond to soon. It could be as simple as "starring" it like I do with Gmail messages I want to respond on soon - but not a big enough deal to make it an action item in MLO. (Or I want to flag it so that I DO remember to transfer it to MLO later). 2) An EASY way to forward a single message to MLO as an action item. Yes, I can select "forward to" and type in the email address but it is a bit tedious in the few apps I have seen. Also, the way my network provider handles it, I can't control the title of the mail and so on. Even worse when it is MMS length - they forward a link to some webpage where I can view the message. A really fast way to forward to a predefined or easily selected email address would be an improvement. But the best way I can think of, is an app that can SHARE a message to other apps on the phone. (To MLO directly - or I have a share-to app that can forward all shares to a pre-defined email address. The paid version lets me set up a list of these to choose from quickly. This fits other purposes than MLO also). I don't need a big, bloated app (on my crammed up phone) with animations, themes etc. etc. - just these basics. The various descriptions / reviews of the apps do not really emphasize this (they focus on the fancy stuff) so that's why I ask in here. I also believe that any input on this would benefit other "productivity people" in here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
