Question

Any alternative of Nozbe

Aug 11, 2017 11:35PM PDT

Hi all

I am really upset about this tool.
I find quite a lot of discrepancies between the present interface and contents and the procedure manual of Nozbe.

Nozbe never changed the contents of procedure manual for a long while. I am afraid Nozbe has been doing it intentionally.
That means they persuade a user to pay.

If this one is true, very terrible.

For example, the below is the reply from Nozbe
https://gyazo.com/49b6a74d4e2472558565a3cfbb223165
When are the contents of help page?

No point if the contents of help page had changed then.

Under the said circumstances, I would like to discard Nozbe.

I am now thinking tool without Asana, Toodledo.

The important thing is no discrepancies between the present interface and contents and the procedure manual of my desired tool.I would not ask the help center often.

My purpose is that I intend to use my personal to-do management. As group GTD, I will use Trello.

Looking forward to having your advice.

Here's what I'm seeing on many apps.

The documentation is lagging or is out of date.

This is especially true for low cost or free apps. There's no money or time to put into the documentation and it may lag, or rather take time to get that fixed.

Some clients or users will consider this a bad thing while others use the app but never read the documentation so why create or maintain documentation that only a few will read?

You have your reasons to switch but if the app works, that could be good enough for many.

Whichever I take, the same?

@R. Proffitt

According to your explanation, I assumed whichever I take, the same.
If true, you might be wrong.

I believe that is depending on the management of the app.
As far as Iknow, Slack is the best, while, Nozbe is the worst.

I want to suggest Nozbe not to have The Web seminar. If they have time, they try their best get that fixed the documentation.

Meanwhile, I have made inquiries for Todoit against the said matters.

Looking forward to having your comments.

Ask the makers for why they don't do the work.

I am an author and in a few cases the company opted out of documentation for cost reasons. It's not cheap to make or maintain.
