Your PointUI/Home 2 experience?

Hi, I've been running PointUI's Home 2 (the free version) for a few weeks now. I love the layout, the two tab feature to see both today and tomorrow. BUT there are a few things lacking for me, ie. having today's tasks on the today/tomorrow screens, having the battery status viewable on the main screen, and I wish the clock were a bit bigger. These are issues that I suppose are livable, though, as I like the Home 2 Today better than TouchFlo.

What I don't like is that periodically, Home 2 seems to "lock up" and either I have to go back to the Today settings to get back *any* today screen, or I have to click a multitude of buttons to get out of the initial Home 2 screen setup. It's really a nuisance, as it seems random, although most likely to happen when I need it most.

So here are my questions: I installed the free version figuring I'd eventually upgrade to the pay version, but I need to know for certain that the flaky behavior I described above will go away once I shell out $$$. I mean, I can live with TouchFlo, but I'd be willing to pay for this developer's work, if it really does work properly.

The other question is it doesn't seem like there's a lot of activity over on their forums. It seems like there are solutions to my above issues (clock/battery/tasks) in the form of applets, but those applets aren't in VGA so I can't use them. It looks like people were requesting alternate versions of the applets and that *someone* would mock them up for them, but given the slow nature of the forum during my trial period, I'm not so sure this is ever going to happen.

Anyone have any feedback? Suggestions?
