CNET Editors' review
VORG Express - Free Organizer is a comprehensive program for managing contacts, schedules, important documents, and more. It has all the features you'd expect of a personal information manager, as well as a few you wouldn't. We think it's a great choice for busy professionals of all types.
VORG Express has an interface that reminded us of Microsoft Outlook, with menus on the left for Folders, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, and Documents. Most of these are pretty straightforward, and they look and function as you would expect them to; there are multiple calendar views, contacts are organized in a card format alphabetically, tasks can be assigned due dates and reminders, and so on. All of these features are pretty typical for PIM programs, and they should be easy to figure out for anyone who's used Outlook or a similar program. One of the more-interesting features that VORG Express provides is something within the Folders menu called Vorgspaces, which are collaborative workspaces in which multiple users can create diagrams, share documents and images, and more. VORG Express can also be synced with a variety of database types, including Microsoft Access, Microsoft MSDE, and MySQL. The program comes with a thorough Help file that explains its features, though if you're not familiar with basic networking principles you might have some trouble figuring out how to employ the program's multi-user capabilities. Overall, we were quite impressed with the variety of features that VORG Express - Free Organizer offers, and we think it's worth checking out if you've felt limited by your current PIM's capabilities.
VORG Express installs a desktop icon without asking and leaves a Start menu icon behind upon removal.

"Okay, but lacking..."
Version: VORG Express - Free Organizer 1.7
Pros
has most of everything a PIM should have...also has an organizational chart, tabs for banking, currencies, report templates, user lists, a bunch more...
Cons
- preview picture shown UNLIKE actual product (no blue...plain sickly white/pale grey instead) with no options for skin color or looks...
Summary
i like a product that has the functions i can use it for on a daily basis AND that it also can look good to work with, hence the option for skin color or theme, which this does NOT have, at least in this FREE version i'm using.

"Does what's supposed to do"
Version: VORG Express - Free Organizer 1.7
Pros
Great functionality, not complicated and yet all functions you'd expect and ACTUALLY need.
Cons
The preview only shows the tasks and relatated items for the PERSENT day, saying, TODAY
Summary
It is absolutely necessary that we can see, say a given numbers to look ahead, or say a week. If I get a call I want to have fast access to my schedule for the days ahead.
Guys you know what I mean, right? Just look up Essential PIM and you will find this option there. I would use your Software if this function is added. Until then I stay with Essential PIM. -
"slow...unresponsive...won't work"
Version: VORG Express - Free Organizer 1.6
Pros
not one thing...
Cons
says my system is not up-to-date; many other free organizers have worked in the past...you must also request for the free license key, of which i couldn't obtain...also no uninstaller; search pc for it to do the uninstallation...
Summary
product looks nice on their site site, but downloading and trying it out is a real pain in the a-s-s.

"UNBELIEVABLY SLOW INSTALL...THEN: NOTHING!"
Version: VORG Express - Free Organizer 1.1
Cons
after waiting like forever to install about 75mb worth of stuff (not the 60 mentioned above) in .rar format...an error upon install reading database! HUH?!! i went to 2 other freeware sites and one even died mid-transfer. it's an awful file to download and worse to use: you can't use it!

"would not install"
Version: VORG Express - Free Organizer 1.1
Cons
hung during install. Message: "optimizing for your computer" just stayed for awhile, I gave it about 10 minutes and gave up. Had to re-boot. It did leave an icon on my desktop that didn't work. Had to boot to safe mode to un-install, delete, and manually remove reg entries.
