## What is Deadlines?

### 5/5 — good

*2024-12-04*

i paid $1.99 for unlimited groups and tasks, but I would prefer more color options for groups as I have many classes to differentiate

### 4/5 — Unable to customize

*2023-12-31*

Unable to customize repeat reminders. Instead of an automatic yearly I needed every 2 years or every 5 years.

### 2/5 — Very basic app

*2023-07-09*

Bought pro and it offers essentially no other functionality. App has no backup function and no ability to use across other devices. Which means that all the data will be lost if I lose this phone. Basic functionality of the app is good. But missing a number of components that make it comparable to other apps.

### 4/5 — Just what I needed...and...

*2022-11-15*

Hi Brady - thanks for creating this easy to use and simple interface. I purchased the Pro  version already. 
A few small updates would be great. Could you make it so I can deselect my task and have the right side go empty. Seems like a small thing, but it removes the busy right screen and makes if feel like you are 'done' for now with that item. Just to be able to click on the left side anywhere to unselect a task is all that's needed. 

Another nice to have would be to roll up the Groups in the task once you've selected one (or have a drop down instead). Seeing all my groups in a task is really distracting!!

Many thanks!

### 4/5 — Great app, but with some issues

*2022-02-10*

I love this app, I use it every day.

The problem is that it crashes when I click to name a new deadline or change the date of a new deadline.

Also, I find it great that it can add deadlines to apple calendar, but the app is not able to delete them from apple calendar when they are completed.

### 1.6.1 — 2022-09-03

Bug fixes for the following:

• Repeating due dates no longer change if you change its repeat frequency.
• Repeating due dates don't show an incorrect date on the home screen.

Thank you for using Deadlines!

### 1.6.0 — 2022-08-27

Deadlines are now archived by default instead of being deleted once completed and its due date has passed. You can change the amount of time a deadline is spent archived in the app settings before it is deleted.

Note that repeating tasks aren't archived and are instead updated once they are complete and their due date is past the current date. Also, manually deleting a deadline will skip the archive and delete it immediately. To remove a deadline from the archive, simply mark the deadline as incomplete (un-check it) or change the due date to a date that matches the current date or later.

Other changes include:
• Deadlines on the home screen now show how many subtasks are remaining in addition to showing the number completed.
• Made some changes to help prevent duplicate groups from appearing when opening Deadlines on another device after a while.
