Yes, I try to restrain my presence to the IQ forum.

You’re not the only one in this situation !

It really is as stable as it gets, at least as far as your data is concerned. Being JET based, every change is saved immediately, so even if the app does crash, occasionally, your data is safe. In the 4 years that IQ has been available on the Net (yup, that’s a hell of a long time to be in beta, I know…), there has been 2 or 3 reports of data loss, and the causes have been fixed (all linked to advanced features, not normally used by users)

That said, the current effort is towards mobile device sync. We’ve got working prototype synching calendar, tasks and contacts with the corresponding Google services, as a bridge to your mobile devices.

There is still a lot of changes I’d like to do, but v1.0 release is likely once this sync effort is complete.

HTH !
