   I have to note that the developer seems to have a renewed committment to this product. As an organizer, I still find it a little clunky, but it is unsurpassed as a Journal.

   Reviewing 3.0.9 (Nov 26, 2007)

   If only developers hear the customers...
   It will be the best PIM if devcelopers do their work, otherwise the software seems discontinued as the other products from Gem-X.
   
   Forums closed after some customer complaints. I aslo made my complaints in their blog and some days later the blog was closed and dissapear from their website. They launch the 3.0.9 update but I can't see any change, always same stupid bugs, no improvements, no hearing customer...
   
   A great program without future, so that's my 1 point.
   
   If Gem-X can't afford the development of their products, it's better to sell the software to good programmers or make it open source so the people who paid for their software will be listen.

   Reviewing 3.0.8 (Sep 28, 2007)

   I can't bring myself to give this a one - it held great promise and would be a world beater if it was finished. However, as others have noted it is buggy and apparently no longer supported. The developers closed down the support forums in mid-August (right after I purchased a licence) to "migrate to a different server" and they have never reappeared. E-mails, DSM, and comments to their blog are met with absolute, deafening silence, no updates or news have been released since June and they are not even responding to refund requests. My advice to anyone considering ANY GemX product is BUYER BEWARE - you will be paying for unsupported software.

   This could be a nice product, pretty complete, if, yes if there were not those quite obvious bugs.
   And then one gets to know the really really horrible service, customer abusing included.
   I tried the evaluation version which, as they say, is the same as the licensed version.
   There is quite a number of very obvious bugs in the program which could have been eliminated during beta phase easily. This is simply negligent programming.
   Once you tell them and complain it won't be long until they insult you, start wasting your time and try letting you, the customer do their work.

   They claimed that v3.09 was going to be released over 2 months ago to fix the very annoying reminders bug (Where reminders popup repeatedly even after being dismissed, and also popping up PRIOR TO THE reminder setup in the event) yet this has not been the case. Their forums have been down "for a server move" for over 2 weeks now, they arent responding to email support or DSM support (their touted support mechanism), and phone calls to them are going unreturned after leaving messages during NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.
   
   They recently (about 3 months ago) added me to the beta test team, I guess as a way to silence me from posting such negative reviews, but there has been almost NO activity on that front as only 1 beta release has been posted since my being allowed access to it.
   
   The software is good, but I keep finding more bugs which get their standard "Maybe/Someday" tag on their forums meaning that they arent sure whether or not they will fix it.
   
   I am tempted to ask for a refund since the support I am "receiving" is far worse than any I've encountered thus far. The fact that it took me nearly 2 weeks to receive registration info after purchase was unacceptable, and the way I am being treated as a PAYING customer is preposterous.
