I think your support has been excellent and really appreciate the speed with which you deal with queries. This is time I cannot afford and having been used to it being super fast became a frustration very quickly. In the end, as much as I really like Pagico I love the calendar, the dashboard is superb and I really like the way tags help me narrow down projects and tasks, the friction in getting tasks in and files in massively increased my time in processing. Since installing AHB2019 in November the 'Recent' files have been appearing properly.

The problem was that no Word or Excel documents appeared in 'Recent' when attempting to open new files.
PROBLEMS WITH PAGICO 8 FOR MAC
A week with Pagico and I was spending way to much time creating projects and tasks. The problem first appeared immediately after installing Office Home and Business 2019 (AHB2019) for Mac back in November. It was one of the deciding factors for me in staying with Omnifocus. Depending on the number of projects/tasks you create a day this can add considerable time. In Pagico I need to drag the email then click the email and create a task. In Omnifocus, a keyboard shortcut creates a new task with the email and I can place it in any project I want to or create a new on one the fly. As Pagico is a productivity app integration with other apps such as email are essential. It’s available to download on desktop and mobile devices, with a rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars on G2. This is why I will alway pick a native app over a Java app. Pagico also offers cloud syncing, collaboration features, scheduling options, and more. Java apps also don't play nice with other applications and integration into the OS is also limited.
PROBLEMS WITH PAGICO 8 CODE
I appreciate that it is easier to code once and deploy to different platforms, but it doesn't give the best a particular OS has to offer.

Because long term users of an OS create muscle memory in doing every day tasks these changes to the expected norm break a smooth workflow.

But there are other annoyances such as needing to click a button to edit text or double click the text to edit (as is the case with Pagico). An obvious point here are keyboard shortcuts. While our roots are in software, including artificial intelligence & data analytics, over the past decade our interests have expanded to include drug development & advanced materials manufacturing. Each time I find that non native apps are extremely frustrating because they don't behave like native apps. I should probably add that over the years I've used a number of Java applications (I'm assuming Pagico is because of it's look feel and speed).
