Once I figured out how to change the language, I discovered that this is basically a crippled version of their program...and SO not worth the time I spent on it.

Here's a comparison of this (standard) vs the "expert" (or full) versions

Bottom-line: Don't waste your time with this.

Dear users,

we are sorry for this minor trouble with LeaderTask Standard running in Russian by default. The Developer has already fixed the bug and updated build is being uploaded.

For those who already installed the application please follow these steps to get it work in preferred language:
1. Choose "Опции", then "Настройки" in the main menu.
2. You will see the drop down menu on the right. Select the language.
3. Press OK button to save changes.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Regards,
GOTD project team

Well... something is wrong here!

“LeaderTask planning software is a popular business organizer.” … (a business organizer – and thus intended for commercial purposes)

and “LeaderTask has all necessary features for a businessman” … (for a businessman – and again intended for commercial usage!)

It's a bit stupid though that one can read in the readme.txt file:

“Please note that the software you download and install during
the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:

3) Strictly non-commercial usage (you may NOT use it for commercial purposes!!!)

Thus I cannot see the benefit to offer it here! (apart from the fact that it wouldn't be of any use to me anyway)

You all have a nice day!

Installed in Win 7 64-bit. Setup installed Russian language by default.
Opened settings.ini and changed [Settings]Language=English. After Install 'surfed' my way to 'Change Language to English' and it changed most items to English. Required to 'delete' the existing 'Entries'.

Went to 'Help>About which shows Registered to:>User>giveaway and License: Lifetime for the current version. Standard. The period of free updates has expired: 01.09.2011, with a link to 'Extend updates' which, after looking through the website gave the user the opportunity to update current version for $17.95.

Shows 'Made in Russia'. Maybe the reason for the syntax and inconsistent verbiage.

The ReadMe.txt file in 'Program Files' reads: Windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server, Vista. Makes no mention of Win 7.

Ran the program through a few appointments and calendar additions and seemed to work properly.

If you want the 'Email, Synchronize with Outlook, run Reports, obtain Statistics... you must purchase the upgrade to 'Expert' version.

The 'Help' is available online.

Will put it through a more in-depth review and return for other user's notes.

Addendum: After trying out the program a little bit, I decided to uninstall it. Some of the features I would like to use are only availble in the expert edition (this is the standard edition), and I find the features in this version lacking. Also the programs interface is reminiscent of an old Windows 3.1 program. This program needs a lot of work before I would consider spending money on it.
