What's New in Version 1.10
OmniFocus 1.10 adds flexible weekly repeats, updates the application icon, and fixes a handful of reported issues.
Repeating Actions
• Added flexible weekly repeats. When a project or action repeats every week, you can specify the days of the week the item should repeat on.
For example:
Repeat every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
will create actions due on:
Monday, February 13, 2012
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Friday, February 17, 2012
Monday, February 20, 2012
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Friday, February 25, 2012
...
Important:
Please update to OmniFocus 1.5 for iPad and OmniFocus 1.14 for iPhone before using these new flexible weekly repeats, as older releases of OmniFocus do not understand this new repeat data. If you edit or complete one of these items using a previous release of OmniFocus, you will lose the weekday repeat specification.
Miscellaneous
• Updated the application icon.
• Fixed a bug which resulted in a “Cannot overwrite file” error for some users when adding items to OmniFocus on OS X Lion.
• Fixed date parsing in the Inspector for users with a custom time format using period as the delimiter.

Customer Reviews
Excellence. A worthy investement of money and time.
Sure, there's a bit of a learning curve in Omnifocus. It also has tons of lower priced rivals, but IMHO they aren't really competitors. This is so much more than simple task lists, though it can certainly be used that way. If you're already familiar with context based (GTD) workflow, you'll quickly see why this program stands far above the rest. Omnifocus is the hub of my productive and creative life, and it just keeps getting better.
For those who want to become Omnifocus/GTD masters, I highly recommend "Creating Flow with Omnifocus" as a companion book (Google it).
Too Complicated
I love the concept but everyday I feel like this task management system is TOO complicated.
It feels like I can't manage my tasks. There are things that make OmniFocus a great program but I have read for hours and listened to many podcasts and screencasts and still don't feel like I can effective use OmniFocus to manage my tasks.
Plus they charge for iPad and iPhone? (Yes, Yes… I know: "You have to code for two DIFFERENT DEVICES!" But you get to reach two different markets.) I automatically take a star from any app that charges for both. Automatically. In fact, this paragraph is a TextExpander snippet.
Absolutely Fantastic
If you manage projects and if you want to be highly efficient and organized… then Omnifocus is for you. It is laser focused and has little fluff - but it simply works. I use the iPad and iPhone integration as well and couldn't be happier. Yes - I orignally balked at the cost, but I am very happy with my decision. The only 2 pieces of the puzzle that I feel are missing are 1) Integration with Contacts. Afterall, projects usually involve people AND Next Actions… most often involved contacting or calling or email a particular person (or at least in my line of work) - and 2) Integration with a solid note taking product like OneNote or EverNote. I find that I duplicate a lot of my work because OF is the framework of my productivity and OneNote (formerly used EverNote) holds all of my stuff for those projects. When I can work in my office, I have my Mac open with OF up and running and my Work PC laptop up and running with Outlook and OneNote running. The day involves a dance between the two computers. Outlook for Mac is acceptable and would work, but alas the line seems to have been permanently drawn to not include OneNote for MAC. That said, OF does exactly what it is supposed to do. It gets things done - it doesn't integrate well, but not many things do. You cannot go wrong with OF.
