Thanks, Hugh. I had some doubts whether I was being too hasty, so I re-installed it - and then unistalled it again… The problem is that the software is not idiot-proof enough, even though it is positioning itself as the simplest project management software. However, there are no warning messages e.g. if you accidentally set the due date earlier than the start date, or if you only set a start date but not a due date. These then don’t even show up on the Gantt chart. It took me a while to figure out why some of the tasks were not displayed, and then I realised what I had done with the dates. In contrast, if you do that in Amode, it will give you a warning message.

Otherwise Pagico looks very nice, and I do like the whole concept and the way it’s been executed, but these finer details haven’t been ironed out and these are the sort of things that would trip up a less sophisticated computer user. I also like the integration with iPad, the iCal feed etc. Lots of things to like, but for now I’ll stick with Amode.
