| I can't imagine not having Datebk4!
I use my Visor constantly all day for meetings, to do's, address lookups.... I never imagined how much Datebk4 was going to change how I use things. Having todos beeping when I've planned to do them -- it's wonderful! I've had NO problems with it. It's pretty neat when it cleans up all those duplicated shortcuts as well. Unqualifiedly, I'd say, get it. |

| I canīt Speak for Palm Userīs but on my Visor Deluxe I could produce a Fatal Error about every Minute just tapping various options. Pimlico known the Problem - but even after installing DatebkStub things didnīt get better. I would have loved to work with Datebook 4 but Iīm back to Action Names. By the way does anybody else have Probīs with IR comunication to a Mobile GSM Phone. The Tip in the Handspring FAQ didnīt work for me. Still love my Visor but it isnīt half as compatible as I thought |
| jeff coloma | Powerful and flexible |
| I just got this the other day and I love it already. I thought that DateBK+ was great... this one was just what I wanted/needed. |
| chevy | Works Great |
| I really like the fact that I can see my calendar at the same time as my to-do list. |
| nikNga | It's got great features....but....... |
| Less than 24 hours from the time I installed it I got more fatal errors and soft resets than I have ever had. I've only had my BVDx for about 3 weeks and I have not had any problems (knock on wood). But I downloaded and installed DateBk4 last night onto my BVDx and I finally deleted it this afternoon. I had to hard reset once and soft reset 4 times. I think it still has bugs it needs to work out. |
| Rocky Hurley | My brain should be this organised! |
| I downloaded Datebk4 just to have something to play with in the airport during the long waits. For me, the ADVANCE fuction is the most valuble. It allow me to finally remember friends and family birthdays and anniversaries!! Since I trave extensively, I can set advance notice by up to 99 days! This allows me to get cards or flowers on order for a perfect on time delievery. Response has been very favorable since I NEVER remember these dates. Linking is nice in that it inserts notes into the records too. The split screen is really nice along with templates! The templates have been set up for hotel, airline, car rental, and Doctor appointments in my Deluxe. Making entry input very easy.
Granted, there is a steep learning curve, but one cancelled airline flight should get you WELL up that curve 8-)I haven't found anything better to date and can't imagine finding one. |
| Eric | Excellent!!! |
| I thought that Datebk3 was good... This is an exceptional program. I can't imagine living w/o it now. I would recommend it to anyone running palm OS |
| Anonymous | good features and easy to use |
| Offers much more than Datebook+ but maintains the look and feel of the standard datebook that we're so used to using. |
| Jeff Meyer | One of the best apps, but not for everyone |
| I've been using Datebk4 for the last month, and I've found it absolutely invaluable. It's allowed me to set up and display my schedule, and the personal information I need to organize and access, just the way I want to.
HOWEVER, it took a fair amount of initial investigation to decide whether Datebk4 would be valuable enough, what features I wanted to use (and didn't want to use), and to figure out how to set up my data using these features. Anyone planning to use DateBk4 -- even with DateBk3/DateBook+ experience -- will need to spend some time perusing the (very good) on-line manual that comes with DateBk4. I think Datebk4's about the only app where I've read the manual before using the app in years -- and I needed to!
You don't have to configure Datebk4 completely the first time out -- I utilized various features as I went along -- but it's important to know what features are available, to decide what you need to do.
Other than that, great app, and at the price extremely good value for money. |
| Biggus | Interface too complex |
| I love DateBk3, but found myself wanting the 'contact' linking offered by Action Names and DateBk4. So I tried them both, for a month each, and I could not come to terms with the complexities of the DB4 interface. It's very feature rich, seems to do a lot, but it's like surfing those websites that take 6 'clicks' to get where you want to go - instead of the 3 it could take.
In the end AN won it, simply because of simplicity.
I still keep a 'weather eye' on DB4, but that's all. For now..
