The doctor is in

I'm a doctor. I spend a lot of time driving in my car between the hospital and my clinic. It's good thinking time. I'm often running things through my head about a case or a particular condition.

In the past I'd think of things to remember and either I would forget them before I could write them down or I'd have to pull over to write rather than risk trying to drive and write at the same time. I have been using reQall for some time now and I love it. Now when I think of things to remember, especially concerning patients, all I have to do is call my reQall and say what I'm thinking. reQall turns it into text info that can be called back to me when I'm back in the office at the computer, or back to my cell phone as text or voice. It's a great service! I've referred all my family, friends and coworkers as well and they all use it.

You could say that reQall has become one of my best friends!

The mobile professional

As a writer and marketing strategist, I spend an incredible amount of time in the car, or in meetings at clients' offices or coffee shops.

When I worked inside major international corporations, I always seemed to have a docking laptop or a BlackBerry. Now I work independently and, at the moment, don't have either of those handy tools. reQall has helped me maintain my mobility while at the same time my level of professionalism. I usually add tasks using my cell phone -- usually on the go. When I get to a stopping point, or forget where my next appointment is, all I have to do is call reQall and get my schedule.

Being in marketing, brilliant ideas for the next ad campaign, or the name for the next product extension, can come at odd times. Usually I'm doing something else when that happens. I've written down marketing campaigns on everything from hot coffee cup wraps to the backs of table napkins. (They're not very reliable, especially when the table gets wet!) Now I use reQall to quickly note the inspiration. I might also add a note about the pros and cons of the concept and opinions I got from people I tried the idea out on. If a visual image presents itself, I note that too. It all comes back to me in one file – ready to be developed. reQall is as mobile and professional as I am.

reQall was my eye on the news

I'm a university student in my final year studying for my Bachelor of Commerce. I signed up for reQall a few months ago. Since then, I never forget anything. I even manage my time more efficiently.

I initially set up reQall to remind me on my Gmail account because I live on the computer. I had a very busy schedule this semester, especially in the past two weeks, in Accounting and Finance. Using reQall, I have been able to categorize my tasks and set deadlines for myself so that I not only get the assignments done...I have leisure time. Imagine that!

On top of this, I also own an iPod Touch, which makes using reQall even easier as I can add/edit on the fly. The interface with reQall is very simple to use. As soon as I log in, I see my tasks right on the front page. We have free Wi-Fi access for students on campus, so the first thing I do when I arrive is check my emails and check reQall on my iPod.

The great thing about reQall is that it lets me add, edit and view all tasks from one place and reminds me any way I like. I used to scribbble notes on envelopes, write on my hands or save a notepad file on the computer. I've even used reQall to help me remember the list of grocery items for shopping

One example of where reQall helped me is a project in International Business Finance. I had a presentation on fluctuation of the exchange rates for the Australian and US dollars. Since the project was based on contemporary news, I had to follow everything from the state of the economy, to any major trades between Australia and other countries. I used reQall to take notes when I saw snippets of important news on the Internet. I also used it to remind me to watch the National Nine News at 6 p.m. and the business news. You might say that reQall was my eye on the news.

There isn't life without reQall

reQall is my own personal secretary and I can't live without her. I'm not trying to be dramatic. It's the truth.

She never forgets to relay my messages. She is always in the office on time. I love the notification via email in the morning and texts throughout the day. reQall is on top of things and now so am I.

Of course, the iPhone integration option can't be beat. For someone like me who manages multiple projects all day long – reQall is a solution I can't live without. All I can say is -- thank you for an absolutely wonderful product.

reQall to the rescue

I’m a student and a web comic artist. Many of my ideas for my comics come to me when I’m not actually sitting down at my computer. I’ll be hanging out with my friends or family and a funny idea will pop into my head.

I used to carry around a little notebook for writing down ideas, but I would have to find a pencil and then I’d have to decipher my handwriting later. It was pretty inconvenient and not very accurate. Now I just pull out my cell phone and tell the idea to reQall and all my ideas are waiting for me when I sit down at my computer to work.

I also play Dungeons and Dragons and create D&D campaigns for my friends to play. The other day I was sitting at a juice bar and I thought of a fun name for a tavern in my next D&D campaign. I had forgotten all about it by the time I got home, but since I had called it in to reQall, my idea was saved for me, and now my next D&D campaign will include a medieval tavern called “The Juicy Owl.”
