The best systenm for managing your work
Best Meeting App
Second Chance, reminders, support
So it is fair to have high expectations of it.
Flaws
- reminders don’t sync
- notes can only be added to 50% of the meeting minutes on the dashboard
If a refund is viable 24 hours into establishing it has not moved far from 2 years ago, I would request a refund.
Great project management

Hello "CReynoso", Concerning the reminder issue, it's a bug from Apple's side. So far we can't do anything unfortunately. It is a bug about the Reminders Sync as you can read below. We use EventKit to create object into Calendar/Reminders 11.1: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/RN-iOS-11.1/index.html 11.2: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/RN-iOS-11.2/index.html We hope this issue will be fixed in the next OS update. Meanwhile, we have developed a new feature that synchronizes your actions with your calendar Follow the link below to get more information: https://www.beesapps.com/en/have-a-better-look-of-your-day/ Best Regards, BeesApps Support Team
Reminders?
I’d like to use the Livescribe pen but not until I get reminders going.
I like the idea but I really want it to work with reminders and calendar!?
And a bit worried the free version only allows 50 tasks?

Application Beesy
An Excellent Tool
This software has a significant learning curve (and a few bugs) but once you gain enlightenment on how it functions, it is the best note-taking, meeting-planning and project management software out there. You need enlightenment because Beesy is full of functionality but the value of those functions is not what makes it 5 stars.
The core is NOTES. These can be actual notes or, more often, MEETINGS. The meetings/notes can be easily generated by clicking on a calendar entry. Everything can be shared with others so that people can make inputs to the meeting/notes to add comments, agenda topics, things needed, etc.
During the meeting you can add notes on the addenda topics, tasks for yourself and others, drawings, ideas, etc. then Beesy will produce a comprehensive set of notes on the meeting.
If that were all Beesy did, it would still be worth the money but it does more. Each of those meeting tools can also be used alone. You can build and manage projects, assign tasks to yourself and others, add comments to people/projects/tasks. Beesy is a comprehensive tool for managing all your activities and information.
I doubt that tutorials can completely explain Beesy’s value. Understanding the functions then applying them to what you do brings the enlightenment as to Beesy’s value. I, for example, am now retired but do volunteer work with children that requires meticulous notes and careful follow up. I also need to report my activities regularly- Beesy fills the need. With the Livescribe pen, I can take notes in court or during visits, set actions for myself and others, record ideas, etc.
Invest the time in understanding Beesy. If you buy it for a stand-alone task manager or note-keeping-software or project manager, it will work well but there are better individual software programs out there for each of these functions. It’s when you use Beesy in your individual circumstances that the power of having all these in one piece of collaborative software.
Also, I might mention, the Livescribe link is better than others. The transcription is highly-accurate.

I am modifying my review to cover the new link with Livescribe.
Notes in Livescribe can be stored in any Beesy function using the three buttons on the top of the Livescribe 3 notebook page. So pressing button 1 stores a note, 2 a task and 3 and idea (for me, the assignments can be changed). Thats good but the handwriting recognition software used is beyond bad, it's useless! It would be quicker to read handwritten notes and type them into Beesy than to correct the constant errors from the recognition software. Even printing in block letters yields dozens of errors in a paragraph.
Also, I have been using Beesy for awhile and never had trouble mapping Beesy tasks to IOs reminders until this release; they no longer work. Plus, if I leave the web-based app linked, I now get constant errors from that.
Complete frustration. I hope these things will be fixed soon, especially the handwriting recognition, as the idea is great.

I have been using this for the last two weeks to plan and "note" meetings and to keep track of my business projects.
All in all, this is one of the more effective tools I have found. The only problem is that it crashes constantly. This normally occurs on the second or third attempt to select text... perhaps a text editor is crashing?
Anyway I am going to continue to use it. With Beesy for meetings and business projects and Pocket Informant for tasks and personal projects, I have finally found a working combination.
I use Beesy to build agendas and take notes and record actions for my meetings. Once the meeting is complete, I can save to Evernote (in Beesy) which then appears in my Pocket Informant notes. I have tried everything - Opus Domini, 2Do, Simpleology, SmartDay, Todoist, ChaosControl, Gneo, Organize-Pro, PlanAndNote, Things, and many others - and this combo is the only one that works for me.
