Evernote as a lifestyle service
4/19/2014
When I read some of the "lifestyle" type items on the Evernote blog, I am astonished with how silly many of them are. The silliest of all (at least in my view) is their new "Post-It Note" camera.
"M...
It definitely feels as if it is a tough row to hoe for the small developer, given the number of platforms that users demand these days. But I am encouraged by the success of Scrivener, started a few y...
Outlinely (for Mac)
3/30/2014
I wrote to the developer, who responded quickly and helped me resolve the problem. Turns out I had a corrupted database of associations on my computer. Now I don't and Outlinely opens its files fine. ...

Major update regarding Outlinely. I just discovered that it will not re-open its own files, so stay away for now!

I just published a quicky review of Outlinely if anyone is interested:

Outlinely (for Mac)

Thanks for pointing this out. I've been playing around with Outlinely for a half hour or so, and have come to the conclusion that this $5 app is better than 90% of the outliners available for Windows ...

3/18/2014
Ah, I knew there had to be a catch. I've been using OneNote 2010 on my Windows PC, which I paid for. I just downloaded the free 2013 edition, which was working just fine until I tried to create a new ...

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it really makes me see OneNote as a universal option. However, it causes me to worry that innovative apps like Outline and MagicalPad are just going to d...
DBMS for iPad

And just to be clear, my review of TapForms is for the Mac, not the iPad version.

DBMS for iPad
3/16/2014
My last article for Mac Appstorm was a comparison of TapForms with Bento (since Bento has been discontinued by Filemaker). It may be of interest for those looking for more information about TF:

I just noticed over on the App Store that MacJournal is on sale for half price through St. Patrick's Day. MJ is an excellent writing and journaling application. I use it for one-off articles or longer...
Writer's Blocks Essentials
3/14/2014
I have a little experience with WB. I liked the idea of the program, but it was always a bit quirky and not very user friendly, in my opinion. If these blocks intrigue you, you should check out Super ...

That is certainly good news for us Mac users. Thanks for the link!

I had an writing professor in college who taught us this lesson:
It's never the reader's fault if they don't understand you. It is the job of the author to write in such a way that the meaning of hi...
Looks interesting. Is there any reason you've come across to choose SilverNote over OneNote (other than price)?

TheBrain users may be interested in the new video about the iOS version:

Here's an interview with Keith Blount from Mac Appstorm:

I don't know how much he talks about the issues you...
I just heard from the developer that they are changing the name in the next version to Taskmator. Not as catchy, but there was probably a conflict with the other "Tasque" apps you mentioned, Bill.
St...
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Tasque for iOS is clearly a revised version of TaskPaper, which Hog Bay made open source. I wonder what the new developer of Tasque has in store for t...
I got a response regarding my inquiry about a Mac version (I didn't think to ask about a PC version):
Yes it is in the process. We will update you once we launch the Mac app. But currently we are giv...
I got a reply (that was pretty quick) from the developer re the Dropbox issue:
Thank you for contacting us and extremely sorry for the dropbox issue.
Currently this is an issue in 1.0 version of Ta...
One small glitch so far with Tasque. When I tried to set up Dropbox sync I got an error message indicating Tasque is still in "development mode." I sent an e-mail to the developer for clarification vi...
Never mind. I figured it out for myself (I can do that sometimes.)
I guess this developer took the open source code and massaged it into his own app. Looks good, and for $2.99 (it's an iOS app BTW) w...
Bill,
Is this for iOS? Thanks!
