reQall goes Android and gets a facelift

reQall has always been a favorite of mine when it comes to managing a to-do list, so much so that it is one of the few programs I’ve paid the upgrade on.

What’s not to like, you can dictate your items to the service, they transcribe them and it can be configured to communicate with your Google or Outlook calendar (a Pro feature). Where it fell down is that it did not have an Android based client – that is until yesterday. On May 13, reQall released the beta version of its Android client. Unfortunately I do not have an Android based phone but I did get a peak at it over the shoulder of another and it looks nice, it’s responsive and functions as expected.

The release of the Android application was nice but they also updated their web interface and it is a huge improvement over the previous version. Along with cleaning up the user interface they have also introduced a number of features including categories and a much requested feature by those that follow the “getting things done” or GTD teachings of David Allen, tagging. For those not familiar with the GTD the system relies heavily on using contexts to group your tasks and up until now reQall has not been able to to that as you were limited to work arounds – now you can tag a item, with more than one tag if need be, and afterwards use those tags for search criteria.

All in all a nice application and a nice upgrade – if you don’t use reQall now’s a good time to check it out.
