Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. There are just a few points I would like to add to Steph's words.
We are receiving quite a lot messages from our users and appreciate all of them! Most of the suggestions are the same, so we are aware of the need for calendar integration and we do agree that MLO has quite a learning curve due to its numerous possibilities, therefore more tutorials are necessary. There are also many feature requests for other things. Striving to keep the balance between powerful app and uncontrollable monster, we are constantly working on adding new features and implementing users' suggestions. We are also working on the tutorials and hope to please you with them soon. As for the platforms supported, we are equally developing all of them. Here <https://www.mylifeorganized.net/#comparison-table> you can compare the features. If you need any help, just let us know. Steph, thank you for the great answer. We are proud of our strong user community helping others discover all tricks in MLO. On Monday, October 23, 2017 at 12:32:01 PM UTC+3, Doug Linder wrote: > > I am a new user of MLO.
