I love this app. The UI is so beautiful. I like the way it combines Tasks together with Events. I can quickly arrange my Tasks in Smart View and my Events in Calendar View by moving them using finger. How easy it is!

To me, Week View and Month View is useful for overall view. I rarely use them to input data because ‘quick add’ just provides limited fields for quick entry.

I’ve actually sent 2 emails to Saisuke for different issues. One time I got an email back right away and one time I didn’t. Other than the slowness of Saisuke at times it still serves my needs.

SmartTime’s last update added a lot of great features, but it isn’t easychecking dates and adding new appointments quickly.

So I’ve got to teach lessons on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Thursdays of the month? What are those dates (turn to landscape, wait for weekview to pop up, and then tap on monthview), alright, but I can’t add the proper duration of the events with SmartTime’s quick add in monthview, so back to Smartview I go, wait a few seconds, then I can properly add them.

Pocket Informant is much faster, cause I don’t have to change view everytime, and I can add my events within monthview.

The timebars are great as well, I can see what I have happening from monthview quickly, and it’s also great for checking quickly whether I remembered to add some events.

I also sent an email to Saisuke, but never got anything back. The developers are Japanese I believe, and most Japanese wouldn’t be able to understand an email written in natural native English.

Time Bars = Gannt Chart

Time Bars? If you go to the daily view appointments are blocked out by time. Is that what you’re talking about?
Personally I’m not looking for a Gannt Chart.

And what I do not like in Saisuke is the lack of Time Bars to show you at a glance when your appointments are scheduled.

Saisuke support is also poor. I sent them an e-mail and never received reply. The best support I experienced until now is Pocket Informant from WebIs. I prefer Pocket Informant Week view and Month view over SmartTime ones, but this is very subjective.

And which other app do you think is better? Personally I use Saisuke and see no reason to change at this point.

The app is OK but the support is poor. I had a bug in version 3.0 which prevented me to sync 2-ways to Google Cal and did not received any support from Left Coast Logic.
I finally stop to use Smart Time and switch to another app which is as good as Smart Time but has much better support.

Hi – I’ve got SmartTime and actually you can sync two-way. But the first time you do a sync, they advise you to do it one-way After that, two-way works fine.
