Nice looking, but some fatal flaws, IMO. No import that I can find for
appointments. This seems to be a deal killer. Most of us have been
tracking our appointments with some PIM. To have to start all over
again seems a bit awkward.

While you can maximize the appointment window, you can't maximize the
contacts window. Very strange.

And the label generator -- a bit much for such a small product?

IMO, they could have focused on matters of usability and functionality.

Thanks for alerting us to this program.
