Looking for GTD/TODO app - General Questions and Answers

I'm looking for an app to making TODO lists compatible with quite famous David Allen's GTD system. Do you know any? Something like Things from iPhone would be great.
I checked MyLifeOrganized and Pocket Informant 9.1. The first one has old-fashioned(...WM 2k3?), not finger friendly interface. The second one is slow(on my Samsung i780) and also has a bit uncomfortable interface(too many features, and no possibility to switch them off).
I would like to apologize for my, probably poor, English, I hope you could understand it.
Thank you in advance.

monowalker,
Take a look in Task2Gather, by Vito Technology, at vitotechnology.com/windowsmobile-task2gather.html
"One place for all your to-do lists on your Windows Mobile! Task2Gather is your personal to-do list and your collaborative tool for your business. What is unique about Task2Gather? You can share your projects, distribute actions to employees or family members and keep track of their progress. You can manage tasks depending on scale of importance and deadlines. For a simpler use you can just remind yourself of your things to do for the day from buying bread to finish your big presentation at work.
Even if your family members, friends, or colleagues don't have Windows Mobile device, they can work with you from a desktop PC, Mac or even iPhone. The idea of updating your shopping list while you are in the shop will be to your wife's liking."​
It looks like a good solution for me.
It's finger-friendly and cheap: $ 0,99.

Multiple choice quizzes and maker for WM6/Desktop

Hey community
I'm Pete and although I've been registered for quite some time now this is my first post so: Hello everyone!
I've been searching my butt off in order to find a multiple choice quiz application for WM6. I've looked at a bunch of stuff and dug around in sourceforge too but no luck. As I use a lot of freeware apps I'm perfectly happy with on my PPC I wouldn't mind at all to use another one. But if there's a feature rich commercial version I wouldn't mind paying either.
So: I'm looking for a software which would allow me to take (multiple choice) quizzes. The possibility to make quizzes on my own (preferably on the desktop PC) is a must. Embedded pictures/sounds would be a big plus.
Does anyone know of such an application?
Have you looked at MondoPondo?
Am not sure if you can author your own quizzes but it may be possible...
Hey rjcb23
I've never heard of MondoPondo before and just had a look at it. As far as I can tell quizzes aren't editable which they should be. Besides, according to the faq it seems to be a complete multi player game and I intend to play alone to kill time when I'm on a train, plane etc.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for the reply.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Finger friendly "To do" and "Shopping List" apps?

Hi guys,
Can anyone recommend finger friendly "To do" or "Shopping List" apps for WinMo?
Cheers
Pete
here a shopping list program
quite good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506538
have fun
There's a great "to do" program here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596000
This really should be in HTC´s "To Do" list for Sense: a TASK/LIST TAB.
i am also looking for a similar program for shopping and checklists and have tried both programs. unfortuntely, (no offense to anyone, it's my personal opinion), both programs pale in comparsion to what is offered in the iphone platform. I look in envy everytime my friends wipe out their to-do list.
the search continues.

Have to agree with you here... they both suck in my opinion... It is a shame because even symbian s60 platform on my previous devices offered great software for shopping and checklists. Let me know if you find something worth looking at.

Yes I also agree too, I have been looking for a shopping App for a long time, I have tried them all and none are of much use on the HD2, the iPhones "Grocery Gadget" is the best shopping App I have seen and I have emailed the makers of Grocery Gadget a few times about a possible WM version, and they are ment to be working on one, but they have been saying that for over a year now. I have also written to Spb Software with the idea of a finger friendly shopping App and they replied saying, they like the idea and will look into it, and will get back to me if they decide to go ahead with it. So the motto is if you want something, then keep asking.
Listpro is a nice app, but its not that much finger friendly...
http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.php
I agree. Finger friendly WM apps are lacking.
For a shopping list app you might want to look into upvise.com
The WM app is not too bad, but the cool thing is, it also syncs online. Often my wife will do up a shopping list and I just load up the software in the grocery store and wallah. Quick and handy.
I'm also looking for this. Anyone?
I'm keeping my eyes for months now on this website: http://www.gekonewmobile.com/shop/gekotask Looks very promissing.
At the moment i'm using "agenda one" for my task-management. The big plus of this program is that you can modify many elements of the interface. Although it isn't really a finger-friendly program by default, through the use of some modifications you can make it at least finger-tolerant .
Mobile Shopping List v1.4
Mobile Shopping List is a simple "Finger Friendly" shopping list application skined w/ Sense Interface. Please try.

The Best for me on my HTC HD2 is Handy shopper.
It's a free software very friendly.
Try it

Personally I have been using MiCarrito for shopping, its very finger friendly, easy to use and free.

For tasks, I have been using SenseTasks which has the identical feel of HTC Sense and works absolutely perfect for my tasks. After adding it to my phone, I finally started to use tasks and with the CHT addin, it makes the whole thing seamless like it was part of the original design of the phone.

[Q] App for lists, outliner, and organisation. (Like Kylom - Projekt on S60)

Hi all, I'm preparing to get my first Andoid phone hopefully next week -- the HTC Desire, and was wondering if there's an app already out there that is similar in functionality as Kylom - Projekt. Developers App is at kylom. com
I have used Projekt on Symbian (S60) on my Nokia E52. It's great! And since, i've now finally decided to switch from Symbian to Android, after many years.
The developers are not planning a port, so my quest is to find a solution for Android. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
The app essentially is a highly versatile outliner that will helps me organise anything, at work and at home. I use it alot for my work. You can jot it down notes, ideas etc,... you can creat lists, and add in new entries. You can link it to a Contact, or to a to-do task. You can organise stuff into hierarchical lists of all sorts ... Value boxes can be displayed, where you can enter a cost etc.. and the hierarchical parent will total is children threads.
If anyone knows an app that will perform this sort of thing, i'd appreciate the info. It will help me a lot making my transition over to Android.
Thanks,
Darren.
a very good candidate is Note Everything by SoftExperience (check it on the android market).
and there are many others on the android market
Yes Derren.. I am also a big fan of Kylom.
Yes Derren...
I am also a big fan of Kylom. I also used it in my Nokia device. But unfortunately, I could not find any app that can replace it in Android till today. The tragedy part is that where the developers on Kylom also could not continue on Android. Otherwise they would have got many fans here in Android also. I think no other app can replace the Projekt of Kylom in Android. For a nearer replacement, I am finding the app called "MyLifeOrganized.apk" is some what close to it. Try for it. If you could find any other replacement, please let me know.

Diary App for Tab

Has anyone started to use a Daily Dairy on their Tab?
As a professional I make a lot of hourly/daily notes, take photo's and voice notes. As such now I have a Tab I would like to utilize the hardware and use it's multimedia tools to help run my daily dairy.
I have tried doing this using a calendar but it interferes with my day-to-day running and items such as photo's and voice notes is basically a non-starter.
Any recommendations guys?

Have you looked at UM Diary? Not tried it in anger, but it looks pretty good on the Tab.
Regards,
Dave
"Note Everything" by SoftXPerience may be an alternative, depending on how you like your interface. The free version only gets you text, voice, and fingerpainting notes, but the full version also gets you photo notes, checklists, and encryption.
I've also heard good things about Evernote.
There seems to be a lot of option with that one...
Thanks Guys... Couldn't reply earlier, xda-devs was running at overcapacity.
I tried UM Diary last week but had issues with the widgets.
I did like the way it showed the diary in a calendar but it felt disjointed.
Note Everything seems to have things happening all over the place but I'll look into it.
Evernote is a tool that looks like it has too much to offer in what I am looking for but appreciate as above the ideas.
I liked the simplicity of Diary on the SGS but sadly it did not save the notes for backup, did not allow voice notes nor did it offer photo additions.
I suppose what I am seeking is something simple to load, look at and use like the SGS's Diary which can take my notes and thoughts be that written spoken or photographed and have them displayed in a date fashion with a good search tool.
Then again... maybe I have taken away any form of simplicity.
I'm a huge fan of Evernote, I typically use it just to jot down random thoughts or grocery lists, but the tagging feature makes all the difference in the world. It's free, give it a couple days and see if it grows on you. I spent a good month testing note/diary programs and couldn't find anything else even close (with a professional looking interface and such). I doubt I'll ever try anything else.
You are the second user to recommend Evernote.
Can't help but feel it's overkill in what I am looking for.
I don't need any of the tools it offers.
I've come across 'Diaro - diary writing' which is straight to the point, allows unlimited photo's (unlike UM Diary which only allows 2), has an excellent search and you can add all manner of notes ~ be that written, photos, videos, sound, etc.
I'm not totally sold on it though, hence my continued search.
I'll have another look at Evernote.

[app requests]

I've seen a few App Requests posted as threads here, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to act as a catchall for App Requests. I gather that we have Dev Dudes from major tech corps roaming around these halls, so why not have a list of apps we want as consumers easily available to them!
I'll kick things off with these requests:
-A good, integrated guitar/bass tuner with metronome and practice timer(s)
-Adobe Camera RAW interface
-Adobe Bridge for tablets
-VLC Player for tablets
-DJ mixing software that can use headphone output and HDMI [audio] separately for cue/mix output
Feel free to point us to apps that fill requests as they are developed or if they have existed before the request
Way to develop/compile your own android programs.... (or at least just do the developping/autocomplete, etc would be AWESOME!) and well. an app that could launch a ubuntu distro

I'd like an app that you can instantly take a snapshot of the screen or take a camera snapshot and start to annotate on it right away, e.g you were browsing and came across something of interest and you want to add your own comments and underline or mark a specific area.
I know this can be done using repligo or ezpdf however it will involve a few steps to achieve using the Asus's in built snapshot feature and then converting the document to pdf in order to annotate but I want something instant without having to convert the file first, similar to htc flyers note taking app.
Can't you do this with Evernote? I just downloaded this last night but it seems really slick.

Unfortunately, you cannot annotate using evernote although it is fantastic for taking notes, i use it at work at meetings. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the meeting agenda which is usually printed and then start to add notes against agenda items.
I'm just going to make a list of the things I think will make this brilliant - I'm a very small time developer, and don't have the skills to do these, unfortunately:
Something similar to Microsoft Onenote - Drawing/notes/annotations all in one
"Phone Sync" where you pick up your tablet, and it also becomes your phone for SMS, MMS, Calls, and you can share clipboards between the two - This would be brilliant!
Decent Twitter and Facebook widgets
Modified Launcher with resizable widgets, folders - ideally, LauncherPro optimised for Honeycomb.
I'd like to see the Monkey Island games and some of the old Cinemaware titles such as Defender Of The Crown on Android.

I designed an Android app for tablet which I think would be pretty easy to make, UI, name, logo and all, but... I'm not a programmer. Also I believe this will be an app which would be handy for a lot of people.
Since I designed, thought of and branded the app I really don't just want to give the idea away to anyone, but if any app developer is interested feel free to contact me and I could explain the concept to them.
PS: I don't want a share of the profits or to get paid for it or anything like that, all I would want is to find a developer who could do justice to not only the concept but also to the design since there are so many well functioning but terrible looking android apps.
Excellent posts!
Thanks for the interest and the activity on the thread!
I'm watching a thread where a couple Asus dev dudes have actually weighed in on an issue users are having, so I'm gonna see if I can't point them to this one so we'll have some ears that can make a difference. Hopefully some [all?] of the ideas here will filter thru and become reality!
Kudos to everyone!
I'd like an app that can sync via bluetooth (not via the web/cloud), incoming sms messages/caller id/missed call info, from an android phone directly to the transformer with notifications.
I know there are lots which do it via the web, but this isn't an option for me (pre-pay sim not contract).
EDIT:
Another idea for an app, don't know if possible to implement or not. When browsing google search results it would be nice to have an app that lets you see how many kilobytes or megabytes a website requires you to download, before you accessed the page. So that mobile users can see how much data is required and can manage their free allowance better, or not be charged a fortune.
A media player app that can
1. have gesture controls like moboplayer
2. have good codec support like moboplayer
3. can stream from server
4. and can hide the honeycomb taskbar!!!!
Settlers of Catan map generator
Would be cool to see a Settlers of Catan map generator with support for Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Harbours and a roll counter.
did it ever occur to anyone that now that there is a keyboard and mouse capabilities that someone should port an fps to the transformer?
I would love an app/widget that monitored the battery of both the Transformer and the keyboard dock. It's almost impossible to tell how much juice is left in the keyboard. If someone knows of an app/widget or a built-in way to do that, please let me know.
Edit: I would also love to see a folder app that integrates data from the Market, so if I download a game, it automatically adds it to the Games folder, etc.

Eye-Fi for Android
I'd like to see a version of the EyeFi manager/control center for Android
still hunting for the torrent app to work with private torrents
alternate keyboard
since the dock is still in short supply it would be nice to have the ability to use my android phone as a keyboard/trackpad for my transformer through bluetooth or something. the entire screen could be a landscape keyboard that you could swipe down to access trackpad.
