And as my wife likes to rebuild and redecorate one room in our flat every half a year, some glitch in my thinking makes me to feel the same need in regards to my organizing system, though I'm usually way less radical then wife is with the room changes. Thanks to MLO for allowing that.
Back to specifics, what I like most (that comes to mind right now):
I like outline vs. todo view, having complex outline view and simple to-do view.
Custom formatting came to my saving with latest version. And visual progress indicator.
Zoom-in. Flags. Auto-archiving.
Rapid tasks entry is so handy sometimes.
Adding tasks through command line.
Columns I wish and where I wish them.
Recurrence, just great and so well thought out.
Search. So obvious and ubiquitous feature, I like how it's done in MLO.
Again, nowadays I'm in as-simple-as-possible and don't play in the most-
complex-setup league anymore, still MLO caters my needs best out of all the
alternatives, because it allows me to simplify as I wish, and configure
pretty much everything.
Cheers,
Tom
I'm a Mac user running Windows (via Parallels) all day one for just
one app - MLO.
1) Very easy to use - with a very clean interface
2) I can organise my next actions underneath projects (and sub-
projects)
3) The Rapid Input panel is a lifesaver - note it down and forget
4) Outlook Sync has been useful (although looking forward to the over-
the-air sync so I don't need to use Outlook as a 'middle-man')
and finally...
5) It just works. I don't need to think about using it.
Thank you Andrey - looking forward to the iPhone version so I can make
my lists properly portable ;)

I've used several programs for organizing project tasks along several
years, but I usually left using them because they were toooo
complicated and boring to use...
With MLO it's all simple, current tasks, groups, order... sync with my
pda...
I hope it will maintain its simplicity in the future.
In addition, many of the features which have already been mentioned
here
make MLO just an excellent product: simplicity, task notes, back-up,
USB
capability and the aspect I particularly like is the keyboard
shortcuts which
make it so easy to input and manage.
I can't think of any new features I would like to request : ) Though
if it becomes
available on the iPhone I shall probably buy an iPhone! That's how
much
I like it! : )
Best regards,
Dirk Weirowski

I just wanted to chime in on this thread after spending hours
fighting with buggy overpriced software... I LOVE that MLO is so
dependable. I think it's one of the least buggy, most reliable
software I have ever seen (and I was a software developer - I seem to
find bugs that no-one else can - maybe it's my special talent
:). I really love the complex, well designed features, but if it
didn't work as well as it does, that wouldn't matter nearly as
much. I know we don't mention it much, so I just had to comment.
But man, I would jump through hoops to get my hands on an Android
version right now!!!

Hi everyone~!
I started using MLO about 1 month ago. As a trial user, I am looking
for a tree-like list manager to implement GTD. Previously, I am using
another freeware which serves me good but then, I needed more and
decided to give MLO a try.
This is not the first time i stumble upon MLO. I've seen and tried
MLO about 1 year + ago when I started GTD. at first, I find MLO to be
complicated, with too many options and functions. It is confusing to
me and I uninstalled it and move on to something else.
During that period of time, I went through various GTD practise
methods and read whatever I can find regarding GTD to improve myself.
And on and on, I keep on seeing people highly recommended MLO as a GTD
tool. Until recently, I decided to check MLO out again. Seeing there's
a 45 days trail, I jump ship and install both Windows Mobile version
on my IPAQ 210 and Windows desktop version on my Laptop. To my
surprise, MLO syncs perfectly, instead of file sync, MLO is actually
item sync. This is a pleasant surprise! Now I need not to worry about
accidentally replacing new file with old file. :)
Another thing I like about MLO is the TO-DO view where I can
customise and see my next actions based on contexts or any other
category i specified. :)
There are alot more features of MLO that I haven't realy explored
yet. As I explained above, MLO is a "complicated" software which
delivers more than you ever need for GTD and life implimentation. I
truely believe that in the future, there will be more users and there
will be better MLO versions, to serve us all!
1 suggestions/question, nowadays mobile devices seem to move towards
the stylus-less captivative screen direction. Any plans to develop a
stylus-less finger friendly version of MLO, anytime soon? I asked
because I am eyeing on HTC HD2 windows phone. I wish MLO can be as
useful without stylus if I migrate to another phone. :)
That's all for now. Thanks for reading! :)
I just wanted to send a few words of well-deserved praise regarding
your work.
After exploring several other task management programs, I settled upon
My Life Organized over a year ago, and it remains one of my most
useful tools. I’ve even recommended it to some of my strategic life
coaching clients who wish to organize their time and improve life
balance. I especially appreciate the text parsing feature—a great time
saver!
Many thanks, and keep up the excellent work.

I couldn't be happier with my HD2, having replaced my iphone with it a
couple of months ago. I couldn't get on with the limitations of the
iphone's OS and the fact that there was no MLO app! or anything that
came close.
As you've no doubt seen in numerous reviews, HTC have done away with
the fiddliness of Windows Mobile by skinning it beyond recognition,
and that combined with the larger screen means that MLO for PPC works
on it very nicely thank you. Starring tasks and the like can still be
a bit fiddly but viewing the program and/or entering tasks via the
ppc's own rapid entry link is perfectly acceptable for me.
The only downside with the HD2 for me is that the keyboard takes
rather more getting used to than HTC may care to admit. Unless it's
me.
Hope this helps,
Ian

In April I will become a 5-year user of MLO. ... That's what I love
about MLO, 12,000 tasks in a 1 MB data file and MLO
is still lightning quick!

I didn't think it was possible to improve such a good software, but
with every new version, I have a good surprise!

Thanks for a great product!

"Just wanted to say that your addition of manual sorting has made a
world of difference to me. I now am one step closer to "using" this
tool in the same way I "think". I spent an inordinate amount of time
trying to defeat the automatic sorting. thank you for this simple
little addition!"
Please post here a few lines about what you really LIKE about
MyLifeOrganized application.
The happy users are usually quiet and enjoying the software. The
unhappy are posting new feature requests :-)
So let’s keep the balance here – say us what you are using in MLO and
what we did right. Your posts in this thread will help us to
understand what features are frequently used and implemented the right
way.
Newbie may get new information from real users about MLO from this

I want to kiss whoever came up with the idea to have the starred list be an ordered list on both android and desktop - and have that order sync!!!! It's absolutely brilliant, and I can't thank you enough! :)
Hi, Wolfgang. There are probably better ways of finding the name and address of the MLO developer but if you look at
you will see
“Andrey Tkachuk, Ukraine”

Subject: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!
I've discovered MLO a few days ago and use it on Windows and Android. This is the first GTD software that satisfies all my requirements (have tried paper, Outlook activity lists, Outlook add-in, ThinkingRock)!
- Syncs with Outlook and Android (over WiFi)
- Allows GTD + Covey setup
- Is flexible enough to support my personal style of doing things (structure and process)
- Superb recurrence feature
- Customizable (filters, formatting)
- Easy and motivating to use (and yes, if all else fails, reading the manual helps)
- and many more things I don't even use yet
At the moment, I can't think of any features I'm missing (and that says something...). Maybe some more information about your company (I haven't been able to find any name or address, which happens to be illegal in some countries - if you're based there - and doesn't inspire confidence).

I’m using the trial version until my time is up (might as well milk the free time while I can), but I wanted to thank you for making such great software available to PC users. I never thought I’d find something as good as OmniFocus, and it turns out I was right: I found something much, much better!

Hi, Joel. Believe me, I am not trying to disparage Windows Phone or anyone else’s choice of platform, but a recent study (http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp) showed worldwide 2014q2 market share for Windows Phone to be 2.5%, down from year-ago 3.4%. If your ability to feed your children hinged on how many licenses you could sell, these figures would give you pause. On the other hand, Trish’s suggestion of a web version promises to provide less-than-perfect but fully usable access to MLO for Windows phone and many other less-popular platforms.
On yet another hand, please note that there’s a recurring discussion about the need to protect the privacy of any user’s task lists. This discussion is pointing towards end-to-end encryption of customer data in the cloud. Anyone using this sort of encryption would in all probability preclude use of a web interface to display and manage cloud data about tasks. I think it should be a choice: you can have encrypted cloud data, or you can have web access to view and manage cloud data, but not both, Pick one.
