Testimonials
User from Alpharetta, GA, USA - posted at David Allen's GTD Forum:
"[...]I received my first BlackBerry last week and purchased / installed Next Action last evening. My first impressions are very, very positive. The lure of email, calendar, cell and most GTD functionality in one small device is for me compelling. I'll be working over the next couple of weeks to fully convert my paper-based (Levenger Circa) GTD implementation to the BlackBerry.[...]"
Dave from Toronto, Canada - posted at BlackBerryForums:
Basically, it does what is promised. Saves time and keystrokes which is valuable to me on a handheld device with a reduced keyboard (I have 7130e). I like the ability to hide categories that are not relevant to GTD tasks. The synching with Outlook task list works fine. The only shortcoming I see is that NextAction can't see the notes field in an outlook task while the Blackberry task list can. This is not a big deal fro me as I use the Outlook task list for next actions more than projects (both used in the GTD sense).[...]"
