ActionComplete Introduces Real-time Synchronization and Integration with Google Places

October 12, 2011

October 2011 release of the GTD-based task manager improves the integration between ActionComplete for Web and ActionComplete for Android via real-time task synchronization. It also adds one more integration point with Google services - Google Places API is now used to support ActionComplete Vicinity view displaying tasks that can be completed in the proximity of the user's physical location.

Real-time sync nearly instantly reflects updates made in AC for Web on up to five Android devices running AC for Android. Updates made in AC for Android appear within a few seconds in up to five browsers running AC for Web.

Vicinity view in ActionComplete for Android is now based on Google Places API. The vicinity view shows tasks that can be accomplished at a location close to the user's whereabouts. From there the user can tap the location to get to its Google Places listing.

A user can leverage "private" places such as "Home" or "Work" by providing geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the corresponding location. Tapping it will bring up a Google Map centered on the location.

To access the new features of ActionComplete for Web please force-refresh (Ctrl-F5 or similar) ActionComplete page in your browser. To access the new features of ActionComplete for Android please get the latest version of the application from Android market.

Testimonials

ActionComplete system is more comprehensive (and GTD integrated) than anything else out there that I've found. For managing hyper focus and the next action review for a project the interface is clean and easy to use. In other words, one less taxing thing on my mind, which is what GTD is all about.

~ Darren

As the owner of a busy web development company, I struggled with managing multiple projects and tasks. I read "Getting Things Done" and I needed a solution that would seamlessly work with my droid, plus have the option of accessing from the web. ActionComplete fits the bill perfectly! It's easy, simple, and keeps me on track in a way that doesn't unnecessarily bog me down. In other words, I don't spend my day managing my to-do's, like I did with some other apps. The pro version is beyond a doubt the best $20 per year I have ever spent.

~ Kathy

When I first read Getting Things Done, it changed my life. For the first time, I felt in complete control over my work. I accomplished relentlessly. The problem with GTD is finding a 'trusted system.' This is it! ActionComplete has replaced all my notecards, lists, and agendas. I grab my phone or the web and go. Well worth the pro upgrade.

~ Derek

I've been with AC from close to the very beginning and watched it develop into the amazing resource (not app) that it is now. I think now is the time for us to really get with the AC Wave and say THANKS for a brilliant, helpful, adaptable and yet approachable app.

~ Ross

I just wanted to let you know that AC is the reason I got a smart phone. So thanks for the extra 40.00 a month on my phone bill. :) It's worth it. I'm new to GTD and will make AC the core of my system.
