Suggestions: Build in the best features from Evernote and Remember the Milk
I'm currently deciding whether to renew a Pro membership with Reqall. Perhaps a Reqall person could shed some light on the roadmap for new features in the near future, as well as my suggestions below?
In addition to reQall, I've dabbled with Evernote and Remember the Milk. I think there is so much overlap among the three; I'd like to see reQall take some of the best features from Evernote and RTM and build them in. Then reQall can be my all-in-one Tasks/Notes dashboard application, and I wouldn't have to shell out for Pro accounts for Evernote and Remember the Milk. My suggestions:
- Evernote's OCR of pictures uploaded would be a great complement to reQall's voice-to-text capability. When you're on-the-go, you could either record voice notes to be transcribed for reminders or upload pictures that would be scanned for text.
- Tags and lists would be welcome for reQall to-do lists and notes, both for searching/browsing notes and for integrating good GTD practices.
- I think reQall more closely aligns with Outlook TASKS than Outlook CALENDARS. I've used Outlook Tasks for years to keep track of notes and to-do's and set reminders for them - It's what I'd now like to centralize with reQall. For instance, if I want to set a reminder for "Call Mom on Mothers Day," I'd like a reminder to do it but it's not really appropriate for a "calendar appointment." Therefore, I'd love to see two-way synchronization of reQall lists with Outlook Tasks.
- reQall's Firefox extension leaves much to be desired. I have to log in every time I start the browser. Can't it be "remember me for two weeks" or something? It would be nice if it worked more like Evernote's extension, adding selected text to a new note in a javascript window.
- The best part about centralizing to-do's with Outlook and Windows Mobile was the ability to have reminders pop up in the native Tasks application on my device. It wasn't dependent on text messages or e-mails to deliver the reminder, so I'd see them even if in airplane mode or out of a service area. Now that I'm on the iPhone, it's tougher to always rely on getting reminders at the right time. When the iPhone OS 3.0 is out and allows push notification, will reQall support native reminders even when the app isn't open?

I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Hi Chris, I apologize about the delay in my response! I'm going to try to address everything from this post but please let me know if I miss something. We don't really provide any type of road map for our users for a couple of reasons, the main 2 being that it is SO long and the 2nd being that is always changing. reQall is always evolving to give you a better user experience. So we update often based on necessity and user feedback.
We did at one point offer a photographic memory function and we plan to offer that again, however the one we were supporting gave us a bit of a headache. We are looking to replace this and be able to provide our users with a quality product.
Adding tags is currently on our list of user requested features, I have added your vote in addition to the 3 others here to our list.
Also, having our Outlook integration be a 2 way sync is on our list and gaining popularity. I have added these votes to that as well.
Do you have your reQall account set up to remember you? I am set up to have my account remember me and as long as my reQall account is up and going, I have no issues from my add-on. If this is something that is continuing to give you troubles, can you send an email to support@reqall.com so that we can address this?
As you already know by now, with reQall's update to version 3.0 we do now support push notifications.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I missed something!
