Brett Quam at MyTodayScreen has written a review about Task2Gather. He thoroughly describes the Task2Gather performance, all features and user interface. Here is what Brett likes about Task2Gather:

Task2Gather seems like a simple task/project management system, and it is. In adding the ability to create multiple levels of subtasks along with the collaboration abilities of the discussions, it really makes this a project manager’s dream. If you are a Franklin Covey type of task user, this may not be complicated enough for you, but I do believe that Task2Gather has changed the way I plan a lot of my tasks that I used to keep in simple lists. I may still use Pocket Informant for some recurring tasks, but Task2Gather will be my new daily applications that helps keep my life organized.

Here are some of my favorite things about Task2Gather:

The time tracking features (time spent vs. estimated time to complete) along with the changes history means that you will always be able to go back and see how much time you or another participant has spent on the project.

Simple to use without ever reading the user manual.

Great touch interface that navigates without hiccups.

Project sharing that is simple, yet powerful.

Sub-tasks give you flexibility to setup task lists and projects the way you want them to be, not the way a programmer thinks they should be.

The ability to keep your tasks synced up between your device, any participant’s device, and the web makes this a true project management solution that can be used on the go.

It goes without saying that experinced reviewers know for sure that there is always some room for improvement. So, Brett states some features he would like to see in Task2Gather:

Offline task storage.

This is the feature that all of our customers long for and we try our best to meet our users’ requirements therefore this will probably be added to the mobile clients of Task2Gather.

Auto-login.

Easier option to exit the application.

These features are going to be added in the next version of Task2Gather for WM devices.

Non-touch navigation.

At the moment we are not going to add non-touch navigation. Probably, we’ll do it some day in  the future.

Integrate with Windows Mobile reminder system.

Actually, you can do it through desktop version of Task2Gather. You should first subscribe your Outlook to Task2Gather iCalandar then sync your desktop with the device.

Tweak the date picker (lower sensitivity and add calendar).

Today screen plugin.

This  sounds reasonable, I’ve added this to the wish list.

Thank you very much for reviewing Task2Gather and making good suggestions about improving the application.
