NFT: IOS and Outlook Experts

Former Outlook User (not a big fan) and now Iphone 5S (former Android) user through work.

Anyone know of a good App that would fully utilize Outlook's Task functionality on the Iphone?

While we are at it -- is it possible to get a swype-style keyboard without jailbreaking?

Many thanks

Jay

Outlook has it's own app

but you have to have Office 365 running on your phone to use it. I just use the regular IOS mail app, it works fine.

Did you not

want to use the iPhone tasks and reminders capabilities instead of outlook?

if you use iCloud they'd be available on all iOS devices.

you can get a swype keyboard (I haven't done it)

IOS reminders app captures the full functionality of Outlook tasks.

Like what can't it do?

I've been an outlook user since Windows 3.1, but I don't think I ever used the tasks too extensively. Just basic list/reminder functionality.

So, I'm not saying there aren't differences, just asking what they are.

Yes, I don't think your outlook tasks

interface with IOS reminders. That would probably only work on a windows phone.

Like being able to categorize and prioritize.

I'll be at an Apple store 'Genius Bar' later and see if i can learn something there.
