KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES

• The overall user interface is tastefully designed with careful attention to detail and functionality.

• A universal app with full support for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad

• Full support for iCloud Sync (Premium). This allows you to keep Errands in sync on multiple iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad).

• Supports Background App Refresh, a new feature of iOS 7 which helps to keep your devices in sync with each other.

• Alerts (reminders) for tasks, with choice of sound and several repeat options. Plus automatic updating of the app icon badge. Both of these work even when Errands is not actively running.

• Customizable folders, so you can organize your tasks to best suit your needs (for example, Work, Home, Errands). You can have as many folders as you wish and folder attributes (name, icon, checkbox) are fully customizable.

• A Focus Folder which is based on a "star" system. You can toggle the "star" state for any task by tapping on the star icon. When a task comes due it will be auto-starred. This makes the Focus Folder very useful for quickly glancing at what you need to do NOW. The badge icon will reflect the number of tasks in the Focus Folder, keeping you up-to-date on what tasks need attention.

• A monthly calendar view for tasks with due dates. To access it, tap on the calendar icon on the bottom toolbar. The calendar displays items based on the current folder you are in. To see all tasks, choose the calendar from the All Tasks folder.

• View options allows you to switch between normal view (4 tasks per screen) and condensed view (8 tasks per screen).

• Mail tasks (single tasks as well as entire folders).

• You can select from a built-in collection of image icons, choose a photo from your library, or take a new photo to customize your tasks.

• A unique feature allows notes to be viewed as a checklist. This is particularly handy for small shopping lists, multi-step tasks, etc.

• Tasks can be scheduled with a due date / time. There is a full range of repeating options.

• A convenient Recycle Bin allows you to easily create new tasks from previously completed entries. This is a big time-saver given that many tasks are things that are done again (and again). And saving data-bits from the virtual landfill makes you feel good!

• Tasks can be sorted by various schemes as well as arranged manually.

• Each task has a title along with separate detail and notes fields.

• Customize Errands to fit your tastes using the in-app Settings.

Help Needed
welosmom

I love this app which I purchased many years ago (2012) when it first came out. Do I have to purchase it again to access the family share option? I cannot find anywhere to email for support.


Love this Ap!
Ek Creations Studio

Still using Errands to keep track of three businesses. I love how you get the tip tasks from each list in one place. My multitasking friend!


Great app!! Just one thing is missing
Germa67

Great app!! I will provide five stars if I could habe more control from the Iwatch like ack the alarm or change the time without need to take out the iphone from my pocket.


Keeps me organized
Jennie1950

This really helps me stay organized. Nice to be able to list things and not carry around a pad and pencil?

Premium Version Sync is Awful
fgcdaseweggrtvhjff

I loved the free version of this app and upgraded to the premium version so I could sync between my iPad and iPhone. It does not work well at all. Not only does it take forever to sync, you have to have both apps open and in close proximity, and then sync one errand at a time. What’s the point? I’m thinking about deleting one of the apps and going back to just emailing myself when I need something on both devices.


Pretty Good, Not Perfect
smdudley

The best I've seen for an Apple platform, in terms of a task manager/to do list. However, it still lacks an interface with a good calendar (so you could see an "agenda" view, showing both upcoming appointments AND high priority tasks). I suppose something like that would have to be native to the platform (but maybe not). I'm just disappointed that still NOBODY has been able to duplicate or at least effectively replace Palm Inc.'s wonderful Personal Information Management software that came with Palm OS. UPDATE: Sync problem seems resolved.


Excellent

One of my favorite apps. Rock solid, easy to use.


Does not work on ioS 15
Robert in West Virginia

Much to my dismay this greAt app does not work on ioS 15. I hope all the data that must be on a server for syncing is still available if the author updates the app.
