Summary: I like AnyTime Deluxe
Review: I like AnyTime Deluxe. I tried a bunch of other programs - different daily planners - and this one just seemed to be better. AnyTime has a feature that sends out reminders at different times, like every 3 or 4 days, or the last Friday of the month. The other calendar systems I've tried didn't have that many variables in the reminders. I've been using AnyTime for over 3 years, and would recommend it to anyone interested in staying organized!

Summary: Not worth the hassles
Review: I stumbled into purchasing Anytime Deluxe when the contact manager software I had intended to buy (ACT!) was not available at my local retailer.

After a challenging experience converting my existing records to Anytime, I discovered that I liked the programs interface, and the ability to control many of the views that I had not been able to control previously.

Then I bought my PDA, to carry all this great information around with me. Unfortunately, the documentation in the manual for syncing this data to my PDA consisted of ONE PAGE -- the title page. The "help" function was not full-featured, either.

So I decided to call Tech Support. BIG MISTAKE. Two weeks later, my emails have referred me back to the (less than helpful) web site and help functions. TWO messages left with supervisors have gone unanswered. When you call Tech Support, the queue is so full that you cannot even hold, and are told to call back later. The story from Individual Software is that:
1. All their tech support staff are in training, and only one person is available to answer the phones.
2. All their tech support staff is in training, and only two people are available to answer the phones.
3. The training is over, but all the staff is returning old calls while new ones continued to be answered by one person.

Today I asked to speak to a manager, only to be told that none of them show up for work until after 10:00 am. I tried to leave a voice mail message, but the receptionist accused me of being snotty. (I wasn't snotty, but I was certainly frustrated, and very assertive about wanting to speak to someone in charge.)

I guess this is truly a case of getting what you paid for. Unfortunately, I'll have to junk the software and go buy a reputable program with real tech support. Sigh....

Summary: ...
Review: The truth is that this program, has been, and continues to be a bestseller. It does this year after year because it is very full featured, easy to use, cheap, and intuitive...

There are those who need the robustness of MS Outlook, but Anytime offers many of it's features at a fraction of the cost. In addition, you will not find ANY organizer program with more layouts or printout options. Also, Anytime stores all of it's information in one file. Backing up is easy. Outlook spread's it's fragments all over your computer, including the Registry. Backing it up is a nightmare (even with Windows XP).

At work I use Outlook, but at home I use and trust Anytime. I have used Anytime since the DOS days. It continues to get better and better and has proved itself to be reliable. Give it a fair try, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Great Networked Calendar
Review: We have owned this product in Versions 7 and 9 for our law office for several years. If you need for more than one user to access the program simultaneously, as we do in the office, the program networks seamlessly. You could pay a fortune for a multi-user calendar like this from other vendors. If you have more than two users needing access, you can buy a license. I have seen many complaints in these reviews about technical support; I have e-mailed a couple of times and received a thorough response within 24 hours. The interface for the calendar and address book is easy to use. I highly recommend the program because of features, ease of use, and price.
