Using text to manage tasks
10/18/2012
I'm an inveterate user of the Logitech keyboard, too, having tried about four others. It's very, very nice, even though it holds the iPad at a fixed angle (definitely a weak point).
I have been readi...
Software Recommendation (Onenote vs. Others)
10/18/2012
Yes, I'd agree with that. We've moved over to PDF Xchange Viewer as our main in-house software - very powerful, loads of lovely features, and the Pro version is very cheap. Acrobat is well over-priced...

I do have this lovely little app on my Samsung Galaxy Note, and it is gorgeous. But after playing with it for a bit, in true CRIMPer tradition I hardly touch it now, simply because it doesn't interact...
FoldingText for Mac out

Hm - well, they may have dropped "support" for the iPad 2, but WriteRoom is certainly still running quite nicely on my iPad 2.
I still rate Hog Bay software quite highly (in particular, WriteRoom mus...
Using text to manage tasks

Sorry, Franz, only just seen this. Hm, I can't really advise, unfortunately, because I haven't used Notebooks for iPhone for a long time (I have a Galaxy Note!). It has to be said that Notebooks doesn...
Using text to manage tasks

In response to a query by Dr. Andus:
Well, I did play with text-based methods of task management (including e.g. TaskPaper for iPad), but didn't find anything that really pressed my buttons. But what...

I do agree with what you say about tagging - and also about cross-platform. There's a huge opportunity here for somebody to produce a really powerful cross-platform app that combines the strengths of ...
Priority Matrix - Q&A
10/11/2012
I've just been reminding myself of Priority Matrix - I installed the iPad version a long time ago, then uninstalled it. But it's made some impressive strides since then - looks really rather good. I d...

Another alternative you could consider is SilverNote, which is currently in beta but looking very promising. Nice support for images, tables, drawings etc. And a nice, responsive developer, too! And t...

In fact, tags do still exist in OneNote, although they appear to have been deprecated. I use them myself (you can customise the ribbon and insert various tag-related commands into any tab you like; yo...
I must confess I do like Inspiration. I didn't spot this update - thanks for the news!
Another one that looks rather good - and has had some very good reviews - is Multi Edit Contact Manager. But I can't say I have personal experience. I'm tempted, though, 'cos my contacts are in much t...
Knowsy Notes

That looks pretty cool, actually. I've just discovered something very similar on iOS, called Nota Plex. It also supports various kinds of notes, plus simple (or even quite complex) spreadsheets, but a...
Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2012
9/16/2012
You can do a bit better than that, in fact, by using OneNote, which has a pretty good client for the iPad (in fact it's got two: Microsoft's own, which is useful for e.g. checklists, and a much more a...

By the way, the nice developers of BusyMe did reply, and my CRIMPer's soul has been lifted by the news that they're just about to introduce synching to the app (in fact the latest version should be ou...
Do try Podio, too, for collaborative purposes. It's got a vast range of free apps available, and you can even create your own. It's one of the more impressive online collaborative efforts I've discove...

Yeah, you'd think after 30-odd years of CRIMPing I wouldn't fall for those long-limbed folds, those heavy-lidded hoists... but I did, and hey, inevitably it all looks a bit stale when you wake up in t...

I see in principle that edits online should be carried back into the app! Impressive - if it worked. But it doesn't (yet). In fact, I've had one crash where the note that I'd just uploaded to the web ...

Blimey! Cotton also allows you to collaborate on your notes through a web page, although it doesn't appear to sync back with the app (probably just as well!). Here's a note I posted (the content is to...

Actually, my CRIMPness has been further enhanced by the recent discovery of another little app - this time a dedicated task/calendar manager that also happens to be an outliner (with folding and hoist...

Whoa, dudes! My evening is complete! I am in CRIMP heaven! I've just discovered the most gorgeous little outliner for iPads (and iPhones, in fact). It's so professional it's ridiculous. And it's on sp...
Actually, I've just heard back from the (very amiable) developer. It's not really been released yet. He's going to sort out the search anomalies, and pointed out that scratchpad mode does work (i.e. y...
Hm - well spotted. I've just had a quick play. It's actually quite a nice little app, albeit with some flaws (search mode is inconsistent across text boxes, "scratchpads" aren't actually scratchpads a...
Cataloguing the Different Ways the Mind Associates Itself with the Outliner Presented Screen

Sorry, Foolness, I stopped reading after the third paragraph. But you hadn't even got started...
Cataloguing the Different Ways the Mind Associates Itself with the Outliner Presented Screen
9/12/2012
Okay. I for one have had enough. Foolness, you have a style that is consistently aggressive and confrontational. You immediately leap to hugely defensive positions using unacceptable language as soon ...
