MarketCircle DayLite Dangerous: Causes Permanent Data Loss, Beware

Written by IA from EAST PATCHOGUE

This is a downright dangerous and data-destroying program. Read more below and check online before you risk your data with DayLite.

After my old beloved program Common Knowledge's Arrange (WebArrange) of past years went out of business, I had to settle for Daylite several versions ago. It seemed to promise the combination of time/contact/task/calendar and project management that I sought.

Over time, despite being buggy, and slow, I put up with the introductions of new and serious bugs every time the product was "updated" but by then was too stuck using it to move away.

In the last year, the product's new 'improved' version actually broke things that worked in previous versions. If you have a significant sized contact list, you can be assured of synching nightmares with AddressBook.

You are also almost guaranteed to suffer permanent data loss, where Daylite will repeatedly destroy your data in AddressBook and other places.

A detailed PDF shows screenshots and details of how your data will be destroyed by Daylite.

Google DayLiteCausesDataLoss and see for yourself.

They have apparently disabled some basic functionality now so LESS of your data can be destroyed --- but now you need to manually check/add/edit data in AddressBook AND DayLite, e.g. URLs for a company.

For individuals Daylite is complex, poorly explained, somewhat esoterically architected, and hard to learn.

For professionals and businesses, it had great potential but can you afford to lose not just time but actual data to a buggy program?

Your choice.
