I'm a heavy user of MLO so for me, both Pro and cloud are important. I no longer remember which features are Pro and haven't found a list, anyone know?

I love the cloud sync. It also lets you email-task-to-cloud which is quite useful though there is no parsing so everything by mail goes to the inbox. (My workaround is to put Goal=Week on inbox so it shows up in my views).

I believe you can use one Pro license on both an Android phone and a Kindle but I've not tried it, and I think you would need to buy your Pro license through the website, not the Play store because I don't think Play is on Kindle. 

I have heard (but not seen as I don't use WiFi sync) that WiFi sync is a PITA with multiple devices, it requires unpairing one and pairing the other. 

Cloud sync is more automatic though not fully, on the Android side. I have a phone and share a tablet with my family and it's a bit of a pain that changes on one are not downloaded straight to the other, though much better than it used to be since changes are at least automatically send up to the cloud. In reality I usually don't use both in the same day.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of wifi sync vs cloud sync?
For the wifi to work, you gotta pay for mobile pro, which is $9.95, but cloud sync is expensive as well.
I guess over the long term, the $9,95 rate would be less.
 
So, does this mean that without the Pro version (using cloud sync) that I will miss important features on my Android?
 
Anyone who has thoughts on this issue, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Will this sync to Kindle as well?

Hi,


About differences, here is link, may be it can help http://www.mylifeorganized.net/products/my-life-organized/features.htm

About WiFi/cloud - I use wifi sync for android and google drive cloud for PC sync. Realy, it's not fully ok for me, because I can sync with android only at home or I need unpair twice in the day

so i really think about cloud sync, but not sure yet :)

Hi Lisa,

I have seen you make a similar comment to this on a number of posts ".... goes to the inbox. (My workaround is to put Goal=Week on inbox so it shows up in my views)."

Everything that is in my Inbox I also see in the various views (both standard and my own), so I am wondering what's different?

What views are you using? I'm guessing that you're using something that shows all of your active actions?

I have way too many active actions :-) so I narrow down what I look at with two properties: goal and star. The views I work out of most often are the active goals view, and the active starred view, or a custom view that shows only weekly and monthly active tasks that aren't starred ( goal = week OR goal = month AND starred = true) .

The active starred view only shows things I have added the star to manually (not my inbox items). The active goals view, though, will have all of my inbox items in it if I have a goal set to weekly on my inbox, because they inherit it. Once I move the task to the proper branch of the tree, the setting for goal is only chosen based on what the task itself has set manually, unless the new parent has a goal setting, of course.

Sorry I'm not explaining this very well this morning. Let me know if that helps.

Lisa, sorry my mistake. I took your comment as you fundamentally could not see items in your inbox in other views, not that it was a function of how you use MLO...

Ah, gotcha. I just use this scheme to force me to move them out of my inbox so it doesn't get too big.
