4.7.2

August 15, 2023

Firetask 4.7.2 updates our syncing functionality enhancing compatibility with future operating system versions. IMPORTANT: It can happen that the update forces "deleeching", i.e., the system switches off syncing with an error message indicating that the "hardware" or "device ID" changed. In this case please long-press the "Clear Database" button (at least 3 seconds) in the "Database" area under "Settings" in order to delete all local data and then re-switch on syncing from the "Syncing" settings view and wait until all data is re-downloaded from iCloud. You can find the "Settings" area on the "More" tab on iPhone and iPad and under the "Firetask" menu on the Mac. More information can be found in our FAQs on our support website: https://www.firetask.com/support.html

Reviews of Firetask

  • Don’t buy it

    Not worth the money
  • Still think this is the best.

    I’ve tried the usual GTD apps and this is still the best one out there. It has the one feature that I love that none of the others have and that’s the ability to mark a task as in progress. Amazing. One feature I’d love to see is tags. Please add the option to use tags.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the nice review. And yes, we are actually working on supporting tags for the next major release of Firetask (will be a free upgrade to existing Firetask 4 owners).
  • Good Task Manager, Getting Better

    I bought firetask a while back (and while the initial purchase prices of the ios & MacOS apps were fairly steep + releases don’t happen super frequently, they usually contain *actual* improvements & I haven’t had to pay any additional amount - it seems like most developers push out updates that are 90% UI ‘updates’ letting bugs fester, features grow stale & then spring a subscription model on you to fund this work... development costs money, paying $4 for an app once is cool, but don’t expect it to do much or evolve much).

    The recent update seems to have been a pretty necessary one adding start dates (which is a confusing can of worms that blurs the lines between task list & calendar), cleaning up some of the views & such.
    I have tried to look for an email address to contact the developer directly about a bug I found a whileeee back, but cannot find one so I will lump it in here with suggested improvements:

    Improvements:
    1. FireTask is a very expansive app, which is great, but it can be difficult to remember all the different functionality available to a user if they do something like ‘hold down the add button’ within a ‘specific’ screen. Some general UX streamlining would open the app up to more people I believe (like the addition of viewing the calendar by due vs scheduled - at first I had no idea what that little button did or what it would change...)
    2. One of the things I love so much about firetask is that it is a very very very beefy GTD app that actually looks nice AND integrates a calendar that shows events WITH tasks (my favorite has always been 2Do, but the fact that I have to go to a different calendar tucked away in a corner to see what events my tasks may conflict with has always been a very unfortunate deal breaker). This being said it would be nice if the events would show up in the calendar in a way that is more similar to the tasks/depicts the order in which events are due.
    My guess is the current format was chosen because the calendar is already too big for an iPhone screen - as such it probably makes sense to figure out a way to shrink down the very large screens into a more compact manner (including the kanban view).

    As for the bug:
    1. On the Apple Watch app the buttons haven’t always worked correctly. I’m not sure if any changes have been made (I think there have been some), but a bug still exists with the ‘Today’ button.
    For me the default menu correctly shows a little ‘1’ in the ‘today’ button right now, but when I click on it the app displays 2 different tasks. It seems as though it is the same as the tasks in the ‘Next’ menu, however they are sorted differently.

    Hope this helps & that you can resolve it! It’s been bugging me for a while ha
