ActionComplete Teams Up with Skyhook on Their Android App

Today ActionComplete released Android version 6.3 with Skyhook technology integrated for improved positioning. ActionComplete is a task management solution based on David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology.

With ActionComplete, a user can attach tasks to physical locations, or Places. Location-based notifications can be enabled to let the user know about location-specific tasks when he or she approaches the location linked to the tasks. Skyhook’s WPS technology constitutes the foundation of the location-based functionality in ActionComplete allowing accurate GPS-less position identification.

With all these features ActionComplete creates an entirely new category of productivity applications - geo-social task managers. Download ActionComplete in the Android Marketplace today. Skyhook Wireless offers a publicly available SDK for Android developers, available here.
