Agendus for iPhone dedicated forum

adriano · #1 July 26th, 2008, 10:58 PM

Hi,

seen the requests and numerous suggestions received so far for a possible version of Agendus for iPhone, we decided to create a forum dedicated just to that.

Questions, suggestions, feedback, are welcome. Agendus for iPhone is something in our road map, and therefore the more we know what your expectations are, and the better we'll be able to fulfill them.

Want to be kept in the loop but too busy to actively interact? No problem, here are a couple of no-effort alternatives:

- sign up to the iPhone beta and release announcement mailing list at:
http://www.iambic.com/iphone/

- subscribe to this forum by clicking here to receive updates of new threads.

When posting in this forum, if you don't have feedback specific to an existing thread please refrain from "chiming in" -- create a new thread instead. That will make our life much easier

Thanks and looking forward to see you around.

- Adriano

So the other day I was sick, had to cancel an entire day of patients. Was so disoriented, had a terrible time on the Iphone, Changing from calendar to contacts, call, back to calendar, reschedule. Again and again, two full days, a big fat pain. The whole time, missing Agendus. Yes I love my Iphone, the classic 80% solution without Agendus. It would have saved me more than half, two thirds of the time.
And then there's the "to do" lists, don't get me started on the useless apps I've bought.
I miss you guys terribly. The best app on my treo was Agendus, had it the entire three years of treo. The most missing on my Iphone is Agendus.
It's not about the copy I buy, it's about the hundreds of referrals I make to the product. Miss you guys, daily

I have heard you guys talking about this for about 3 months now. When are you going to release IPhone Agendus?

while waiting for Agendus, we got something for you coming up in the App Store in the next few days

I am a long time palm/agendus user. I've had the iphone now for 3 months. The integration of calendar/contacts is so lame compared to the agendus platform for the palm. I miss my calendar/contacts/memos/todos/icons/seemless integration! I understand there is an apple issue with developing for the iphone, but others seem to do it. PLEASE PLEASE work on this. I would be willing to pay a premium price for this app.

Thanks

we hear you -- and we are working on it. At this time we rather not commit with availability estimates quite yet, mostly because of a few challenges and unknowns have been stumbling into.

Nothing terribly major, just things that required us to spend time trying out different routes.

I have Verizon and a Treo 755p with Agendus; I've been using Agendus for years and it's my main reason for using the Palm OS, which I find is getting tired and sad. But Blackberry is so...clunky. My husband, who is also on Verizon, is devoted to his iPod so I got him a Touch for Xmas. WELL, my goodness, what a wonderful device! I want one! But wait: That is the LAMEST calendar I've ever seen! Yes, there are lots of other calendars out there for the iPhone/Touch: Menstrual calendars, Hebrew calendars, etc...Somehow they don't meet my job-juggling needs. PUH-LEEEZE, if you make Agendus for iPhone, I'll switch to horrible AT&T just to get us a couple of iPhones! Hahaha....Happy 2009, and may it exceed all our expectations in a POSITIVE WAY!

Don't forget that Palm is about to release a new device with an updated (finally!) operating system in just a few days at CES. It could (hopefully) mean that everyone gets the good Palm simplicity and apps that we know and love, with some of the beauty of the iPhone. Fingers crossed!

Nurseferatu · #9 January 5th, 2009, 09:19 AM

Hi,
Yes, I would like Palm's new OS to be Killer...but I'm not optimistic. Their most recent innovations have been too little too late. The iPhone, despite its obvious shortcomings, raised the bar. And it seems to me both Apple and RIM generate way more buzz than Palm, which makes them cooler *sigh*. The stock prices for the three of them say it all. However, as I said, I would like to see the underdog make a comeback. Agendus's calendar icons are so wonderful on the Palm OS! I'm totally ADDICTED to the month view with icons, and NO ONE has anything like it. --Nurseferatu

Please, please, please, I need Agendus for my iPod Touch.
I have used Agendus for my Sony Clie for many years and terribly miss its functionality on the iPod Touch. As a health professional, I needs to be able to quickly fill in patients names when scheduling appointments in the Calendar or be able to change already made appointments as well as have easy access to their tel. numbers and other contact information. I also need to compatibility with iCal for desktop sync. I have spent a whole day in the iTunes store trying to find some similar application that integrates Contact, Calendar, and ToDo lists and none do what Agendus is capable on the OS platform.
Please give us some regular update of your progress in making Agendus compatible with the iPodTouch/iPhone platform.
Thanks

Was it a dream or did Iambic offer 4/15 as release date for Agendus for the Iphone. I can't wait. I wonder if Iphone 3.0, which was announced after the 4/15 announcement changes anything? In other words will Iambic wait until 3.0 to take advantage of its new features or still try to release under 2.2. Thanks

Palm will never come back! You where very reluctant to do anything with mac or Iphone. Many of us told you and Iambic that this will be the future. I could bet very much that Palm market share will continue to decline and become niche product. Do you remember Psion? Palm will have the same future and blackberry, Windows and Iphone will be the devices onward.

Allibama · #13 April 11th, 2009, 06:53 AM

We could go round and round with this. Do you remember the first "smart phone?" It was a little device from your friends at Apple called the Newton. It was the future. Ok, so maybe not. The truth is, any company can come back and be on top. The iPhone was not Apple's first "at bat." They weren't expected to succeed quite like they did based on the history of the Newton. Don't count Palm out just yet.

As for being reluctant to do anything for the iPhone...the first year you could not develop applications for it beyond web games. That does not indicate reluctance. If you had any inkling of the difficulty of getting non games or farting apps to the platform this 2nd year (and yes, it's still within the 2nd year), you still wouldn't make that comment. No disrespect intended, but the people who talk about how easy it is to get an app coded and into the Apple store are the same ones who talk about how easy it is to end the conflict in Iraq, and how simple it would be to end today's global financial crisis.

Apple has been a royal pain about their app process. They have changed the rules and been capricious about what they will and will not approve. Deevlopers have to take the risk of developing first and then seeing if apple will approve. They have rejected apps before that they felt were competitive with one of their own and then reversed themselves. This makes it very hard on developers of complex apps like agendus. I love my Iphone and have had both the original and 3G models. But I am tired of Apple's arrogance. If the PRE is what it has been billed to be, I would seriously consider switching. Cut and paste two years after Iphone intro. Give me a break!

TechWriter · #15 April 11th, 2009, 02:15 PM

Patrik, I couldn't agree more! When I'm in my calendar, I need to pull up an address or phone number, and on my iPod Touch, that means so many steps of saving the item in the calendar, leaving that, going to my contacts. I, too, have wasted HOURS looking for an app that would do this for the Touch, but there is no such critter. For the Palm, besides Agendus, Datebook also had this functionality, and it was great. You had to buy it from Pimlico (approx. $29), but hey, I'd pay more than that. So does anyone know anything more about when Agendus for the iPhone/Touch really is coming out? I feel as desperate as you sound.
