After one months use....
Okay, after a bit of patience and time on the learning curve, I like this software. I would have liked "balloon style" info as you run cursor over some of the features which I think could have helped here.
It has strong synchronization with popular cloud services. I'm not too hot on their EPIM Cloud service. I tried this twice and always seemed to run into difficulties but I am happy syncing with dropbox. The interface is highly customizable. Once you invest a bit of time in setting up your categories, labels, screen layout etc., it works rather well. I got a quick reply to a start up problem. I like that with any software. The price for a lifetime license is reasonable. I hope that the software is frequently maintained and updated.

It’s a bit clunky. You can search for something, but if you want to see where that article sits relative to the others, you have to exit the search mode to view it in its actual context. There’s also no way to paste as plain text by default. You can right‑click and choose ‘Paste as plain text,’ but that only works when you’re pasting from the clipboard. The issue is that when you use an app like Ditto, which pastes directly from the app, that option doesn’t apply.

They update the software regularly however at times these updates introduce bugs that at times require another update right away to fix glaring issues.

Been having two frustrating issues with the software but perhaps because others are not taking time to report the issue is not going to be looked at.

If another piece of software did what I use EPIM for without 2 persistence issues I would switch.

I have been using EPIM for many years. I have always loved it and welcome the improvements. But for me simple is better so I've not changed much in what and how use the software. That why for me it is the best PIM.

"Bering organized is essential"
Well that's true and I love this APP cause it helps me to organise me 😄👍

Great PIM app with all you need to keep productive and stay on track. A better alternative than Outlook which has degraded over the years but even better due to developer's constant improvement and great support. Great app, responsive support, user focused improvements and reasonable cost... what else can you ask for?

Great contact management software with all the features that you need. It's flexible and easy to use.

EVERYTHING NEEDED IN A PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGER !!!

MICROSOFT'S PRODUCT, BUT AVAILABLE FREE !!!

As the new 12.5 and now 12.5.1 roll out, sync to Android has faltered. However, EPIM is very responsive in trying to fix this issue. This repsonsiveness to work out issues is nice. PC version works great for me and, when suncing, the Droid piece is solid as well.

Incredibly useful software that really helps to organize your life (schedule, contacts, tasks, passwords, etc) and keep track of all kinds of random information that you might need to easily and quickly find one day in the distant future. I have used it for many years. Software is continuously being improved. I have always received prompt responses to support questions. In my experience this is a totally reliable firm.

EPIM is a GREAT personal information manager and is, ironically, also essential.

It has replaced Outlook for years and we have not looked back. While Outlook continued to be more and more reduced in features and even ease of use, EPIM has been doing what big corps only talk about - "Continual Improvement".

Is there still room for improvement? Of course.

But at least I can have confidence they will improve with EPIM. I have literally no confidence in other big brands.

When you add to this the great support, you can't help but have a winner...

True continual improvement - focused on the end user - and great support. Not to mention it is a bargain for the features and they have a decent trial too.

I use this app every day
I need it to remember everything. The best app for life

Bought lifetime license May 6. Up till now it is the best app for me on the email front. But financially it looks like a disaster. Paid an estimated €15 too much, having to do with exchange rate (pound to euro), coupon code, taxes (Fastspring) etc. Contacted sales at EssentialPIM. No reply.

... After this review came a short reply. I had to contact Fastspring. But I have enough of it. So keep in mind the rating is for the very frustrating handling with third (taxing) parties and leaving the customer victimized. A pity.

Finally got email module to work since a version update last year. Solution was to start over in a new database and import all the modules from the previous one.

Best Personal Information manager available - and has been for many years.

The synchronisation is not reliable.
I stopped using it

I use EssentialPIM since years (!) on Windows and Android.

The Software is a cheap and verry good PIM including Sync & Passwordmanager.

Realy!

i have an much older version, been using it for years, hindsight the lifetime price would have been better choice. I don't use all the bells and whistles but its great for me. the few issues I've had, not working with phone and new laptop because my version is older, were addressed and resolved pretty quickly via email. Thank you!

EssentialPIM Pro:
+ Very good customer support.
- Google Keep is not synchronized.
- Very poor print functions, e.g. for contacts and appointments.
- Has deleted my appointment series on Google Calendar.

I can only print out a single appointment in a rudimentary form. The font cannot be changed and the printout does not contain all fields of the input mask. Why is it not possible to print the input mask?

Individual or multiple contacts cannot be printed at all. It would also be nice if I could print out the input mask.

I have already contacted your support about the sync problems. They couldn't find a solution.

Many thanks for the tips! The printing-dialogue unfortunately does not exist for individual contacts.
With regard to calendar entries, it appears to me to be incorrect when selecting appointments. It would be nice if it could be integrated into the context menu instead of “Instant print” so that a selected appointment can be printed immediately.
You should give up the “Instant print” function.
Update 4: In the commentary above I used "Instant Print" instead of "Quick Print".

Does everything an Information Manager is expected to do. And it does it well. Also, it is updated frequently with user's input.
Can not say enough good about EPIM.
Recommend EPIM to all my friends.
