Edison Assistant (formerly Smart Assistant by EasilyDo) is an award winning app that organizes your work and personal life. Less work, less worry, and more time for you.

Here’s some of what this thoughtful virtual assistant does: Merges duplicate contacts, checks traffic so you know when to leave for a meeting, identifies email you may have forgotten to respond to, adds meetings committed to in emails that are not yet on your calendar, adds flights to calendar and notifies you of delays or cancellations.
All this is done without you lifting a finger!

Edison Assistant streamlines your tasks by connecting to apps & services you care about. Connect and manage your email accounts and calendars from Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange and IMAP accounts, and other services like LinkedIn, Evernote and Facebook. Also supports virtually all airlines, hotels, restaurants, shipment providers, & rental car companies.

Pros and cons of Edison Assistant app for iPhone and iPad

Edison Assistant app good for

First I had immediately network issues and thought it was purposefully to get me to upgrade. I removed the app then decided to give it another chance and what a good decision that was! Its fantastic. A combination of plaxo and calendar manager and to do list easy to use and visually great. No regrets!
Easily do is a great app because it doesnt require a lot of attention. You connect to other apps and Easilydo will do the rest for you. Dont get confused. Its not a todo app, it is an automated tasks app. So instead of telling you what to do, it will do for you. :)
I really like the app it saved me time and it is great to just have one go-to app for all my needs. The following would give it the fifth star: . 1- Send messages or text automatically when on the way home. I was unable to send a message, only SMS by swiping and clicking a notification . 2- Be able to parse Amazon shipping notifications in other languages for tracking info, e.g. German
The convenience that this app brings allows me to continue my day without having to check all the different programs to see if there is anything that needs attention. This app checks each program and lets me know if I need to see something or be somewhere. Its great!
Great app, love that I get all my need to know info in one spot.
With its beautiful easy to use format it makes planning and staying on top of tasks easy!

Some bad moments

I really dislike the apps disrespectful of my time: offered free, asking me to waste my time setting them up only to discover that to really do what they advertise I have to commit to a monthly payment. This is one of them: little more than a desktop ornament before you pay a monthly fee...
Liked this app. However after most recent update week of Feb 20/15, not so much. It is now reminding me of calendar dates from calendars I have marked as inactive and which do not show on my phone calendar. Also showing me things like top instagram pics, which I do NOT want, and app settings are. It allowingme to remove this option. I may remove this app now as it is simply annoying giving me way too many reminders of things I do not want and cannot remove in app settings. Thumbs down to this update.
I like the product but they constantly send you reminders to buy their other products like a 1 year contact grabber and "free" products of the week that turn out to have in app payment even after youve subscribed! Even the basic setup interface has red bars to get you to upgrade as the first option. This is a marketing tool for Easily Do, its not helping out users. If I wanted ads Id stay with the free version. If it keeps up Ill definitely cancel.
$35 annually, $48 to add contacts, do these developers seriously think users are that stupid? App could be nice but not worth the price-tag.
I love what this app has the potential to deliver but Ive had issues with it connecting to a Microsoft Hotmail account now for over a year. Been in touch with customer service numerous times and they are slow to respond and show very little concern in respect to resolving the issue.
Bought a lifetime subscription and it tells me all of the stuff it will do. ooops you have to pay ezxtra for every fn little thing.
