PastaGrrrlGreat datebook app, but worth the money?

Thumbs Up

DateBook4 is a great datebook application. I bought it a while ago for the $24 something dollar fee. I usually do not like to pay more than $20 dollars for any Palm OS app, but I don't regret spending the money on this one. It keeps me amazingly organized, has a bit of a complex interface but that's because of how powerful this app is. If you are looking for a good datebook app, one that is truly comprehensive, this is the one.

Madkins007Great for power-users!

Datebk4 is definately for the person who needs more 'umph' than Datebk+ offers, but if you are one of these people, it is well worth it. You pretty much have to read the manual to get the full effect (anyone interested in writing a 'Datebk4 for dummies" edition?). I got great service via E-mail from Pimlico, and had no problems with it crashing my VDX.

Thumbs Down

DateBk 4 keeps crashing on my plam vx. I give up.

bookratsMy primary application

Thumbs Up

Does everything I want in a scheduler/datebook/appointment book. It's the app that makes my Visor truly useful. It IS complicated -- first time I've spent time reading the manual of a program in quite some time -- but if you don't need all this power, Datebk3 is still available and supported. A good rule of thumb is to use Datebook+ on your Visor, and then step up to Datebk3 and 4 incrementally, seeing how much you like each app. And only $25!! I'd pay twice that much EASILY for a product that does this much and works this well!!!

Thumbs Up

Color coding, custom views, and SO much more. It is especially useful on my Prism

Anonymouscomplete but complicated

Thumbs Up

worth the money if you need features unavailable in Datebk+. i have difficult scheduling/view requirements that datebk 4 meets---but, man, the manual

Thumbs Up

Richly featured and well designed. The simplest things in life are the better ones, and I find Datebk4 very simple and intuitive to use.

AnonymousGotta have it, duh!

Thumbs Up

Yeah, it's essential and packed with features...just go get it!

DaveNice but too complex

Thumbs Down

This program is feature-rich but also feature-heavy. The interface changes between DateBk3 and DateBk4 were excessive, and not necessarily worth the upgrade. For other reviewers who were concerned with stability, I've never had a problem with DateBk4. For me, Action Names has a better interface and is far simpler to use.

AnonymousDefinately an essential app.

Thumbs Up

I am an avid DB4 user. I tried Action Names and DB4 simultaneously for a month. In the beginning I was leaning toward action names but the more I used it, the clearer my choice bacame. The main things I like about DB$ are: Linking,templates and support. Sure its big, but it's replaced most of the apps I was using before anyway. Plus, with 8mb, 450K isn't really that bad.
