Getting worse with each update

Rod2526

I downloaded the app last night to check on the recent update. Now all the characters that used to populate the native reminders note section, now populate the note section of the Good task app. I don't get it. I really want to use this app because visually it's appealing and it allows me to see my entire week. However, notifications are messed up with the auto snooze feature. I noted this weeks ago and it still hasn't been addressed. Auto snooze continues to trigger if you snooze for a longer period of time during the auto snooze. As I said below, you have auto snooze set for 5 times every 5 minutes and you snooze for 1 hour during the auto snooze, you continue to get alerts every 5 minutes Auto snooze adds a bunch of characters into the notes section of the native reminders app. So when I’m using the “Up Next Widget” I have to see all these stupid characters. To get rid of these I have to go into each reminder and manually delete each note. Also there’s still an issue with auto snooze. So if I set Auto Snooze to 5 times every 5 minutes, if I snooze for 30 minutes after the first alarm you still get the auto snooze alerts every 5 minutes. This should not happen. The 30 minute snooze should cancel the auto snooze I keep going back and forth with this app. The dev is very responsive and always updates the app but it always has some issue that just annoys me. I have my reminders set to auto snooze 5 times every 5 minutes. So the notification sounds and I proceed to manually snooze it for 30 minutes but then the auto snooze still periodically goes off every 5 minutes. Annoying

Supercharged Alternative to Apple’s Reminders App

Joel McIntosh

This app just keeps getting better. The new 3-pane split view on iPad with powerful keyboard shortcut support makes this app even more useful! Making strategic use of tags, smart lists, and reminder lists, this application supercharges Apple's approach to task management. Because the application uses tags as an organizational tool, the app can be as powerful or as simple as needed. The developer is responsive and continues updating the app on a regular basis.

YESSS!!!! FINALLY!!!!

I’ve literally been looking for this since I started trying to find a good task based app for three years! Never tried this one, it’s perfect. I finally have tasks, calendar, and to dos in ONE PLACE!!! It drives me crazy to fill out calendar events in iOS or google based calendars/apps, write notes and tasks/to do lists in iOS notes, and reminders in iOS reminders! It drives me crazy to not have a simple, central based hub where I can just get an overall look at everything in my day!!! ? This app is IT!!! Thank god!!! Don’t change a thing- it’s perfect! -well, maybe not perfect, perfect but, man... Close enough! Thank you! I would like the ability to attach pdf’s and URL’s from emails~ whatever, not a make it or break it for me. ORRRR, maybe email too? ? The only real thing I think needs addressed is when adding a task it doesn’t allow you to edit the details right away, you have to give it a name then go find it and add the particulars after, but, like I said a minor thing compared to the overall convenience of this planner. Awesome app!

Very nice app

Still learning all the features. Would be nice to have sub groups of reminders in the future development. Great concepts.

Easy task app to full blown GTD - up to you!

Works at every level you’re at. Absolutely beautiful interface plus it’s fun to check off ‘done’ tasks on this one. Highly recommended!

Watch..

I love this app! Only drawback for me is the time it takes to sync with my watch... very slow. Reminders & calendar events update instantly on iPhone 8 Plus. This is probably a function of the watch’s ability. Built in Reminders app syncs instantly to watch from phone or cloud. Hopefully this excellent app will work on it or... if I’m missing something, a kind soul will explain

Great for Apple Watch

I use this app as a task list on my watch. It’s almost perfect! Great layout, easy to use and nice features. My only wish is that when you tap on a task to view its details on your watch that there was added to to the menu items an option to delete the task. That way you could not only mark it complete but later simply delete it from the list without pulling out your phone. Definitely 5 stars then.

An amazing and great task manager...but

This is clean, simple and complete. It uses the built in reminders for its storage and syncing. This is the one issue. Apple reminders syncs with iCloud. It’s sync is not fast. OmniFocus and Things succeed because they have built their own syncing solution. Today I created a new folder and put some tasks in it, on my iPhone. After 30 minutes these tasks were not on my iPad or iMac. After a few stops and starts the reminders finally propagated. So this is not the solution for me, although it looks great, works great but the syncing and storage is the one weakness. So the app gets 5 stars because the app is doing everything right. However reminders will change in IOS 12 and people must wait for this app to catch up. So I cannot trust my data to this.

The best...almost

If you use IOS there is no better option. The only complaint is that I’m forced to use the regular reminders app notifications because the Goodtask ones don’t work. Maybe it’s a premium feature?

Love it. And I’ve tried many other

Only critical suggestion is eliminate the date wheel. Takes too long and is difficult to scroll to where you want to be. Just put up a monthly calendar that you can easily advance and pick a date from.
