35th Time's the Charm? – Extreme Agenda Review

I tested out 34 iOS "task management" apps before I found this one. Most of the others could handle tasks/reminders OR calendar events, but not both, or if they could handle both, most of them couldn't show both at the same time. There was either a task/reminder list or a calendar view. But Extreme Agenda not only handles both and can show them at the same time, but it shows them in multiple views (yearly down to daily), and it has an Agenda view, and it has the option of converting an entry from a reminder to an event and vice versa. (For instance, I can set up a recurring task as a daily calendar event, and when I finish the task for that day I can convert that one entry into a reminder with a satisfying checked box without affecting the other daily entries.) I am giving this app 4 stars because I love it and it's SO helpful, but there are a few small quirks that I would like to address: - Occasionally, the app will crash to my homescreen, especially when I enter a new Reminder and then try to click on the checkbox. There are a few other times it will crash, but those seem more random. It doesn't seem to affect my data or entries, though, so for now that is just a minor annoyance. - The Alarms are annoying. When I am setting up a Reminder or an Event (especially an Event), I specifically don't select alarms because they are pretty much useless to me. However, at some point after I save the Event and then go look at it later, I see that it has Alarms set for 10 minutes and 30 minutes before. So, I pretty much have to go back in to an Event and erase these Alarms and then select apply to all other instances. I want there to be some kind of option to have all Alarms set to NONE by default unless otherwise specified. It's annoying to have to go back in and delete them when I specifically didn't set them in the first place. Overall, I LOVE this app and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a task management system (which is pretty much everyone). If the two issues I mentioned get fixed, I would be more than happy to change my rating to 5 stars.
