Summary: Make a version of this for Pocket PC...
Review: ...Not just being able to sync with whatever is on the PDA, but make a complete version of this for PocketPC. This is much superior to most of what is available in WinCE and Pocket PC 2002. Outlook is just too complicated for the non techie to use. Like most things Microsoft, it is a bloated WHALE of a product. Not smooth like this one. Keep up the good work. I have purchased every version since v.5. It is that good, to me and thousands of others I'd bet.

Summary: Great Networked Calendar
Review: Anytime Deluxe 9.0 sounds good for the money. Mine quit working on WinXP after 2 days, and tech support did not reply to my complaint for over a week, when I was given the address to their FAQ page. It contained no helpful information. After calling them, the tech support person admitted there was a problem, and had me modify my registry. The software ran for about 2-3 days, and then stopped working again. I have called and written emails and tech support has not responded in over a week. Even at its best, the software is mediocre - so save your money and buy some software that works and that the company will support.

Summary: Uncooperative and Annoying
Review: I bought Anytime because I already had version 2.0. I liked the earlier version, but many of the things the older version had were either missing or less user friendly in 8.0. I couldn't load the files from version 2.0 directly into the new, (fortunately the old computer is still running so I could manually copy one to the other.) The entry process had a lot of unecessary steps which slowed down the process. Version 2.0 reminds you of missed date entries, the new one doesn't. The version 8.0 has a lot of bells and whistles, like fax/cell/watts numbers, direct connection to e-mail, and a few others. The technical assist to Anytime is non-existant, either by 3 no-responce e-mails or 45 minutes on the phone. I'd stick with version 2.0 if you can load it into your computer, otherwise stick with Outlook.

Summary: Didn't Meet My Needs
Review: I bought AnyTime Deluxe 8.0 to meet two needs: To obtain printouts of address book and daily calender for my DayTimer planner and to synchronize this information with my Palm Pilot. It was little things that bothered me about the printout capability. Although the program added lines to cut paper for reduced size used in planners, the size for a standard planner is not 8½x5½ as it should be, but rather 8x5. Also, there is no easy way of making double sided printouts using the program - you need either a printer capable of double-sided printing or the patience to develop your own process. I was totally frustrated with the synchronization capabilities of AnyTime Deluxe. Not all contact fields (phone numbers, e-mail, fax, etc) in the Palm Pilot were transferred to AnyTime. This was totally confusing, since the mapping rules with the program showed them to be properly mapped. For contact information, the Palm has pull down lists for defining type of contact (home phone, business phone, etc.). This info is not transferred into AnyTime Deluxe. Rather, there are its own pull down menus. When you use these pull-down list and sync with the Palm, the description is added to the phone number. (Example, if phone number in Palm is "555-1234" and you add description "Business Fax" in AnyTime and resync, phone number in Palm is "Business Fax 555-1234", using up precious display space in Palm lists.) Most frustrating, on several occasions when I changed info in my Palm and resynced, the synchronization program tried to delete all records in my Palm. Because of the frustrations with syncing, I uninstalled AnyTime. The program removed cleanly, but the synchronization conduit did not. It left its conduit in Palm's HotSync manager and failed to reactivate the conduits to Palm's desktop program. I had to uninstall and reinstall the Palm software and all other conduits I use to get back to where I was before trying AnyTime. My advice: If you use a Palm PDA, don't use AnyTime Deluxe.

Summary: Over states what it can do!
Review: I bought this program hoping to print pages for my day timer. It has very few layouts, most of which are not designed for day timers! If you want a scheduling program, you can do better. If you want something that will print pages for your day timer, look elsewhere. I wish I knew where. I'm still using the Delrina Daily Planner that was designed 10 years ago, it at least prints double-sided pages that work in my daytimer!

Summary: This software is very good for the price
Review: I have looked all over for some good organizer software. Places like IBM want 80 bucks for lotus organizer. This software is only 30 bucks and does everything i need, sets alarms for appointments, keeps track of my to do list, and keeps addresses. If you want some good organizational software that wont break your piggybank but has a nice looking easy to use interface, this software is great.
