Comments from Users on various forums about Pimlical for Android: Just a quick line of thanks for turning my HTC Desire from a nice toy to a
useful tool. The calendar apps for android were unbelievably poor until
Pimlical was issued. I have just downloaded it and have been trying it out and
it's wonderful. I can stop mourning for my Palm Centro with DateBook6 now.
Your software is so much better than all the rest. I used to use Datebk6
on my Palm and am so much happier now!
I was so very excited this morning when I saw that Pimlical for Android was released. Last week I downloaded [Other Calendar Program] was less than impressed and promptly deleted it prior to the exciting discovery. Thank YOU CESD
The more I use the Android version, the more I like it. .....Again, thanks for a wonderful piece of software. Best calendar ever!
This has been mentioned in a couple of threads, but definitely deserves a thread of its own. Good news for anyone looking for a serious diary app.
This calendar program is already a big improvement over all of the other Android calendar programs I've tried
CESD beautiful job... at last I can leave the trusty treo.
The resulting Android Pimlical is running beautifully and is already vastly superior to the [Other Calendar] beta that I've been using as a stopgap.
