Thanks Bill,

SG Project looks very nice indeed. The App Store on iPad though is such a strange place. I’ve searched for PM tools on there many times and somehow I never came across this one when it fact it looks like the best one I’ve seen so far. I will hold off for now though, as I’m quite sedentary, tied to my PC (where Amode is serving me well). Over here SG Project costs GBP6.99 and SG Project Pro GBP34.99.
