The intergration with Activesync is great...but what does it intergrate with on the desktop?
Is there a desktop version to sync with?

Their website did not give more information on it.

Thanks

This verision is 1 month old now.

Version 3.0 is bulky and very unstable. I tried v3 in my h2210, at last I have to hard reset to get rid of it.

Bugme 3.0 want to fix the alarm problem too, but which is conflict with other patchs such as the german startup fix and pocket plus, finally you ppc will have the alarm problem back again. Even uninstall bugme won't work, I have to hard reset and reinstall the whole system.

one word...

OUCH

Am I missing something here, or is this application very much the same as the Notes app in Pocket Informant? Maybe the graphics ability makes it different, I don't know if graphics can be imported into PI.

Seems to me that PI at $24.99 is a better way to go than this program at $19.99 since you get a lot more for the money.

I wouldn't be without this app. Love it, but the new one doesn't seem to even launch on my Toshiba e755.

I bought this app for Palm years ago.... then when I went to PPC a few years ago - I bought the upgrade. The latest version is pretty unstable and causes goofy things to occur on my PPC ----

Plus, I bet most people out there are using either Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant and both of them have this basic functionality.

I put a shortcut on my Today screen for AF Alarm notes and I simply use that. It has the same basic functionality and is much less "buggy" (pun intended :wink: )

So if you are thinking about spending $19.99 for this program - just spend a few bucks more and get a similar program AND much more with either AF or PI. Seems like a no brainer..... :duh:

I had to hard reset my Pocket PC to escape this mess. Thank heavens for Pocket Backup!

I remember when this program first came out. MMM, yeah at the time I had a plam and it was just supposed to be a cool app to have. I never bought it because never needed it. If it is interfering with pocket plus than I for sure dont want it. I am trying out pocket plus and if it is everything that I need then I will purchase it.
Did any of you send an email to their customer service and tech support?

BugMe is one of very few programs that has more features on the Palm OS than on the PPC OS versions.

But, I don't rely on it and use it very little. It is just too buggy on my Palm OS Clie NR70V.

This developer has demonstrated they do not know how to write reliable PPC software.

BugMe for PPC has proven to be a dog of an app for PPC.

I've found the tech support to care less whether it works or not and am surprised they're still posting new versions.

I've had answers on support requests like "I think the latest version should work now."

I gave it up long ago.

Agenda Fusion and Pocket Informant have built-in Alarm Note functions which are totally reliable.

I have pocket plus and it does great on the alarms. Always goes off on time (which is a good thing)
Is there some other way everyone else is using their alarms that a simple program such as pocket plus cant handle???

I was going to try this, but you convinced me otherwise. Thank you for saving me the trouble. :)

I have contacted the BugMe! developers, and they have reissued v3 with the sync feature removed. This took care of the problem I was having with running this software on my hp 568. I am now using v3 with the same satisfaction I had experienced with v1 and v2.
