ActionComplete

   For a while I was looking for an application to organize my projects and business tasks on the Android Market. Recently I have discovered the ActionComplete, a productivity software based on David Allen`s Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. This program has four modules: Actions, Waits, Projects and Ideas.
   Actions can be assigned to different projects, but you will need to define these projects first. All actions are shown in this tab and also there are the projects details in the description. I have to say that this is a great to-do list for short and long term, for personal and for business as you can set these tasks with a deadline and a reminder.
   In the Projects tab there is information related to these including how many tasks (actions) are assigned to each. Also the Ideas tab is great to note all your thoughts regarding any pending projects or tasks. What`s great on actions is the possibility to assign one to a contact from your smartphone agenda with the tag feature.
   The ActionComplete also has voice commands options and places (like Facebook places or Foursquare) just you can tag or assign a project or task to a certain place. There is the ActionComplete Pro (the paid version) which has assorted shortcuts, Due Today live folder and integration with the system wide-search - but I for me the free version is doing the job just great.
   In conclusion this is a very nice and useful application to organize your tasks and projects. The only thing I do not like is if I close the ActionComplete from the Android task manager the reminder will no longer work. But I hope they will fix this in the future versions or perhaps will work better with Gingerbread. There is the ActionComplete for web and you can use this from the computer. This will synchronize the information with the smartphone.
