But the paid options are a bit expensive
Love this for organising events and having it all on one format. An absolute revelation!
Excellent calendar and tasks app does everything to keep my life organised
My first review of Informant for iOS was written in 2011 (back when it was called Pocket Informant Pro). One thing that's always been clear is that the people behind the app are passionate about making it the best app possible. They are highly responsive (there's a feedback feature inside the app) and welcome discussion of new or changed features. The app is constantly being enhanced, and bugs are fixed quickly. Informant 5 is no small update, but I had no problem getting used to the changes. The new menu button is very clever, and I like the way it occupies minimal screen space unless you're actually using it (unless the previous tabs). That allows the menu-items to be larger for easy access. My favourite feature has always been templates. I had lots of templates for events and tasks, and this saved me a lot of time. My initial alarm at the loss of templates hasn't totally gone away. Their replacement - triggers - seems far more useful, but at the moment there's a bug that means you can't save some fields in the trigger. I'm sure this will be resolved soon (it has been Christmas after all). For those who haven't used an earlier version, why is Informant so good? It's well designed, with everything being presented clearly. The multiple views of the calendar are all useful. My favourite is the week view, but I actually do use all the views from the "agenda" or list-format, through to the year view. The most useful thing though is that Informant can be used as a simple meeting/task/diary/notes app, but as your needs grow you can make use of the power of Informant - using projects, for example. Tasks and sub-tasks. It's easy to outgrow the many productivity apps that look beautiful and are simple. I know - I've tried many! Informant is a very mature app and it shows. It's has an abundance of reliable features, and - for those who want to - extensive customisation is available. Highly recommended.
