I don't know how I feel about this funkym guy/gal... he or she was pushing the first version of NextAction pretty hard too, all the while swearing up and down it wasn't vaporware and he wasn't affiliated with the vendor. I tried the first version, was not impressed at all. Not sure I like the new version either. Kind of clunky.

Yeah, after trying it I still like ToDo Matrix more. The huge plus for this one over ToDo Matrix is the fact that it works with Outlook. That I do like...a lot.

Hi!

I confess: I really don't know (even after trying) what this software is good for... Maybe I had too much expectations... But for (normally) 49,95$ I want a little more bang for the buck.

I didn't get the point...

Greetings

Well guys. Sorry...

Of course, NextAction! is not a program for common users. It is dedicated to those who implement GTD (Getting Things Done; developed by David Allen) on their BlackBerry.

Those of you who do not know what GTD is, don't need to try the demo version. It will not meet your needs as you don't know what it is about.

Simplicity.
Productivity.
Speed.

That's what it is about when you are handling tasks to get your things done. Therefor, there are no due dates and that other stuff you don't really need to handle 'next actions' in a fast and productive way.

Again, sorry for confusing those of you who do not know what I am talking about. The BlackBerry's built-in task application should also work for you. It can do a lot of things with tasks, that should be enough

The first post says exactly what the program does: it is a GTD program. If you don't know what that is, either look it up yourself using something called Google, or just leave it alone because it's obviously not meant for you. While the program is expensive, if you use the GTD methods, it is well worth the price; if you don't know what that is, don't complain about the price of software for which you have no use.

Ummm, I know what GTD is. Have the book, used the Outlook plug-in and I still think this software is a little pricey. Again, try ToDo matrix...then you will see what I mean. If they were able to have ToDo sync with Outlook then it would be a better choice but as I stated in a previous post, the Outlook sync puts this ahead. FYI, for the GTD fanpersons, I was very disorganized and GTD did prove effective for me but almost $50 for this app is a little overboard. Just my .02

I paid $29.95 for this and I'm happy. I wanted a simple task list application that allows different contexts/categories etc.
When I'm at the grocery store, I click next actiion, groceries and theirs my list. When I'm in Hom Depot, same thing.
I only use next action for my errands lists so for me I'm happy.

Um... why not just use a simple category filter (@errands, or even @errands_home depot & @errands_groceries) and save $30? This is way over priced for what it does (IMO) and this is coming from a hard-core GTD-er.

Ok, after using this for a couple weeks I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. $30 for fancy filters is really what you're getting. You can do the exact same thing with the built in task manager....just with more button pushes to do it. I'll push a few more buttons in lieu of paying $30 to not have to. I like the app, I like what it does, but if it was $5 I'd be willing to pay for it, just because of being lazy and saving button pushes. Lol.
