Hotly Anticipated OmniFocus for iPad Released! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Ok, so maybe hotly anticipated is a little overstated for most people. But very understated for task management nerds like myself. OmniFocus for the iPad has finally made it’s way into the App Store and I couldn’t be happier! This amazingly detailed task management application has been my most anticipated iPad application since the announcement of the iPad.

OmniFocus is a powerhouse of a task manager. Providing great organization tools if you have lots of things going all the time like I seem to. The ability to quickly capture thoughts, ideas, and tasks and then organize them, track them, and now review them while on the go is invaluable.

This release of OmniFocus is a hybrid of sorts. Bringing more of the features of the desktop to the app than what we have with the iPhone version, while still focusing on what you need to help you get things done while mobile. The iPad version is focused on helping you capture information with it’s quick entry system, define that information once you have it, and then, of course, get it done.

Two big additions to the iPad version are the Forecast and Review features. Forecast lets you see, with a quick touch, exactly what you need to be doing and where you need to be today. You can also take a look ahead and see what’s coming later in the week. The Review feature is great for being able to do a quick check-in on all of your projects, figure out where they are going, and then update their status. Think of it as a quick-fire rapid card deck of your projects with you tapping yes or no on each one as they flip into view.

One of the things that sets OmniFocus apart from it’s competitors is the rock-solid syncing. Now with the addition of the iPad version you have three-way sync from your desktop, to your mobile phone, and to your iPad. You can keep all three in sync all the time, even when traveling.

OmniFocus for the iPad is available now, in the App Store, for $39.99. Some will consider this expensive, I consider it a huge value for all of the time it saves me.

Sneak Peek: OmniFocus for iPad

Sneak Peek: OmniFocus for iPad is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

OmniFocus is a Getting Things Done style organization tool created by The Omni Group and one of the first applications reviewed here on 148Apps. Their iPad version is my single most anticipated iPad application. I use the iPhone version extensively and when it arrives on the iPad, I see myself using the iPad even more than I already do. The iPad will finally become the perfect travel computer for me.

Ken Case, the head honcho of The Omni Group, developers of OmniFocus release a quick four second sneak peek movie of OmniFocus for the iPad this morning. So far it’s looking pretty good. Though with a four second video it’s hard to tell for sure. Here are a couple stills from the video to give you an idea of what’s to come:


According to Ken, they will be submitting OmniFocus to Apple for approval sometime the week after WWDC. So, we could be less than 3 weeks from release. We’ll hold judgement on the app until we get a good chance to take a look at it ourselves. There are already lots of users concerned that the UI doesn’t look finished, but it’s kind of hard to tell from a four second video.

We’re going to try to track down Ken Case next week at WWDC and pry some more details out of him. We’ll let you know how that goes!
