TouchDown (Android) 3.2.001 user reviews

I've been using it for a year on HTC Incredible and Xoom. It does well but must be uninstalled and reinstalled every few months when sync functions for calendar and email become unpredictable. Appointments and emails may disappear, attachments get crossed up between emails, random data gets changed or dropped. It's very powerful and has good feature set so I'll keep using it but you have to recognize it's limitations. Oh, the upgrades do keep improving it.

I use it on a Xoom and previously on the original MotoDroid and a Samsung charge either via Notifylink or direct to MS Exchange. The ONLY issue I have ever had is unless I edit in-line to reply, I am told my email is blank. No biggie. There are a slew of options to adjust as you see fit. But then, I don't consider myself a power user on Cell mail. Heck, the ONLY reason I have it is to support the other folks in my organization who think they do need it.

I'm having calendar problems. I enter something, and later go back to look, and it's not there! But, it does show up on my Outlook computer. It was fine when I first got it (4 months ago), but I just started noticing this problem. Not good - I NEED my calendar!

Great product!

I've used Windows Mobile, iPhone, Palm and now Android Touchdown.

The features and ease of use make it an adequate application for corporate email.

Only weak point so far is browsing folders outside of the inbox.

don't let these reviews fool you, this program rocks!

The best way to ensure an app is not used is to make setup is a bear.
Didn't get past setup - it often is a predictor of performance and, from what I read, this app needs work. Uninstalled.

I've been using Touchdown for a while now and it has been improving with each version. Recent release added tasks but it doesn't seem to sync them with Exchange. The calendar is okay but I wish it sync automatically. Accepting appointments is another story entirely; every time I do so, I get a duplicate on my calendar.

There are only two companies doing Outlook on Android right now, Nitrodesk which makes Touchdown, and coming soon, Outlook on Android by Aardvark. I own Touchdown, and since I need Outlook for my office/work, it was my only option. As an application for work, it's got some *serious* issues that prevent it from being the workhorse I was expecting. I've owned Palm Treo's and Blackberries, both with superior Outlook aftermarket software.

In a word, Touchdown 1.5.000 gets you your outlook email and calendar -- if you can put up with the counterintuitive funkiness of this software. Email takes forever to load in (you can't get just the headers and THEN decide to get the rest of the message), you cannot see your outgoing messages or your outbox messages, there are buttons that don't need to be so prominent (mark read/mark unread), composing messages is kind of hokey, and why would you need a selector button over the message? (I still don't know what to do with that one)

What I'm using touchdown for right now is to check messages, but replying to them and doing most of my work is minimal (unlike when I was on my blackberry or palm treo) -- and for more work intensive processes I just wait till I'm at a hotspot or hotel to pull out the laptop.

Overall, a fair product, but it seriously needs work.

keep getting error - touchdown error- the page cannont be displayed a:link ..


if you can fix, I can buy. please keep me posted

I would like to see the calendar much more like Outlook where you can quickly view the week, day, and Month or skip quickly using a calendar to a specific date. In addition it would be nice to directly SMS a contact from the list versus having to go back to messaging for this information.
