Looks great. For me this is an absolute must program!

looks Awesome When will it be released?

You are killing me. I want it NOW! And yes I will pay again.

Very nice updates, I can't wait for this Way to go CRS

cool...can't wait.

When will you hook us up with a beta?

Hotness! I just installed the trial version of PocketDay and am loving it. I might wait for the new version 5 to come out prior to purchasing it. Still have 30 days in the trial. Great program.

This could be one of the best programs I've seen to bring it all together....back to the original question......how do we get it.....please??

It looks great! I just bought a license about a month ago. Will I be able to upgrade to the new version free, or would I have to pay again?

when is the eta for this product?? i really want to buy it!!

Version 5 will be release sometime in July. If you purchase now the upgrade will be free.

Suggestions, from using version 4.25 and seeing these screenshots:

1) Improve the battery level and signal level graphics/icons. They are not as crisp and smooth as the default BB icons on my 8800.
2) In addition to the above, perhaps increase some of the spacing between the icons, especially when charging. The little lightning icon overlaps items to the right of it when active. Perhaps, put the lightning icon overtop the battery and when it's fully charged it disappears.
3) Possibility of having a ledger view split with the other sections below (a la Agendus for Palm). This would be great for seeing the day at a glance with times versus just a listing of the day's events.

That's it for now...

Two things I've been looking for since moving from Windows Mobile to BB:

1. Ability to convert e-mails to tasks and / or appointments
2. Better task management (e.g. group tasks by Category).

Looks like number 1 is half way there!

Just curious...would you be able to add conversion to tasks? To me, that would be used much more often than convert to appt.

This is looking like a great app!

We've already added the ability to convert emails into tasks. We're looking into category support. BB OS 4.2.2 is required (Curve/8830 only for now)...

Is conversion to tasks in the current version or V5?

Maybe you guys will be the ones to incorporate the advanced task management I mentioned earlier in this thread ;)

I purchased April 7. How far are you going back for free upgrades? I'm hoping this version clears up the constant stalling that I see when trying to get to the main screen. It's a good application, but the delay does make it a tad frustrating sometimes.

Also, will this be integrated with Empower so that pulling up e-mails will show in HTML? Thanx.

- B.

I've been using the Dimension Today screen for over a year. I love the large clock vs. the zen theme. Is it not possible to have a large clock/date on Pocket Day?

OK...I've got a couple of questions...

First...what is the big difference between PDLists and Tasks? At first glance...I jsut downloaded the trial of lists.

Second....why is PDLists not integrated with the personal version? I really don't need Pro for the extra cost, but so far I like PDLists.

I had the PDpersonal verson on trial (just expired) and want to buy it...but...I'm curious about the list function first.

Thanks!

PDLists allows you to create many free form lists of information with custom fields, snoozable reminders, etc. PD Pro is designed for add-ons not personal. It's just the way it is. You still have to purchase PD Lists even if you have PD pro. It's an add-on.

In the next version we may allow PD Lists to integrate if you've purchased both.

Any update on when we might see a Beta of PD5?

Some questions on the integration of Contacts with Tasks and Calendar items.
> I would like to see a menu pop up if I click on a Calendar item or task that ask me if:
1-Open the Item
2-Call the Contact
3-e-mail the Contact
4-SMS the contact

If PD5-personal will allow integration with lists, then I'm clearly buying both. Otherwise I'm just going to stick to PD.

Kudos for. Writing one of the best apps on the market!

Here's a suggestion on PDList:

I know that you can insert a contact as part of a Task but it needs to be taken a step further and ask you to pick a phone # from the contact to call. This way, when you go to your PD List, you don't need to switch out to the address book, search for the person, pick the #, and dial the person. This would be the best enhancement for PDList that I can think of....unless you can already do this and I am a fool who could not figure this out.

Please tell me you were able to fix the glitch on the Pearl where when you tried to reply to an email within PD, the cursor starts on the bottom instead of the top!

One of my biggest heartaches with PD is that when I edit a task starting from the main view of PD and close it to save it takes me to a "white screen" with a title bar of "edit task" and I have to hit the return button one more time to get back to the main screen in PD.

Fixed.

Awesome - This will make doing my daily prioritization of tasks much quicker on the Blackberry.

One other feature request - let me know if it is possible. I had a small utility on my Palm Devices called ReDo. What it did was allow you to define a set of recurring tasks that would automatically be added to your task list at a user defined interval. The utility would power up your device every day at Midnight to add the tasks to the task list. You could set up daily, weekly, monthly, annual tasks and define the due date and when it would be added to your task list.

The reason that this was useful, and would be useful again on the Blackberry is that if I define a recurring task in Outlook and mark it complete on the Blackberry it does not recur properly.

SCOOORE!!

Love the improvements. Did I see somewhere that the home page will have the option of using custom themes as the background vs. the individual bars?

Which issue? The weird email reply thing?

I think he meant the task closing issue. But could CRS please clarify?

I hope he meant em both!

This is a nice program but I don't use it. How in hell do I delete it? Not in DM and not in my modules, under advanced options, apps. tia

When I deleted it, the first two letters in the app were pd. Did you reboot your device after the deletion?
