  • Poor Application - Even Poorer Customer Support

    Informant for the Mac v2 is a terrible deal. There are parts of it that simply would not work. Examples are the intergation with Apple Calendar did not work. The Quick Entry shortcuts would not work. I submitted a customer service request and a followed up with them three times in 9 days and I received no response from this developer. Maybe my issues were a glitch that could have breen easily fixed, but the fact that they did nothing is inexcusable. I do not recommend this application to anyone.
  • Looks good on paper - not so in reality

    The app looks really good in theory. There's a lot too like here (simple but powerful UI, notes included by default, calendar intergration, etc.) but the app is horrible when it comes to syncing with other devices. It just does not work and is a complete mess. Deleted tags come back, contexts don't get created on other devices or linger around, the iOS app requires logins constantly after _every_ button press. Backups are infrequent (only one per day? What is this 2010?) and make the app untrustworthy. I do not trust my data will survive a sync. No way to clean sync server (erase and restart). No way to tell if there is an error in their sync service. Everything also has lag between input, edit, sync, etc. Just a horrible app and all around experience. I wanted to like it but I cannot trust it and it is a disaster to use.

    I like the app, but why can't I select today's date for the badge on my MacBook Pro?
  • Payment Issue

    Paid for renewal on 1/1/21 and account is telling me I must renew my subscription on 1/2/21. Apple info shows account was paid for Year and my Chase card was bill the amount. The fun part is trying to contact Informant. The one site that you are to use keeps failing whan I put in the required info. Not good app support. Great app when it works but this billing issue is crap.
  • Gone to garbage

    I've been with this app since the beginning and it's always been great. I've had to pay several times during changes when I already owned it....irritating... just like this last time... I had a Mac version I bought NOT from the store...and worked until it didn't... so I uninstall and go to the App store and download again and pay 50 bucks and it is STILL NOT SYNCHING correctly. About to 5h1tc@n all versions on all platforms... tired of missing information and almost missing meetings... can't trust....
  • Remove the constant App Store logins!

    Every time the computer restarts, you have to provide your app store credentials for the app to load. No other app requires this, and it's ridiculous!
  • Great app - working now

    Developer support helped me fix the issues with my app opening properly. Best comprehensive task, calendar, and project manager I have found. Strongly recommended.

    Buggy, inconsistent and awkward. Nice concept, lots of stability improvments needed

  • Update: DO NOT BUY THIS APP

    The developer responded to my previous review, asking me to contact them directly on their website for support. So I did. Twice. There has been exactly ZERO response. I tried starting all over, creating a new account and paying for a sync subscription ($24.99). That didn't work either. This company is not trustworthy. Unless you really want to throw away money for one of the most expensive apps on the App Store, and then not get any support whatsoever, DO NOT BUY THIS APP.
