### 1/5 — Upgrade foul

*2026-04-20*

Ich habe kostenlos von 4 auf 5 gewechselt und muss feststellen, dass das Löschen aus dem Journal nur Aufgabe für Aufgabe funktioniert.

Da nützt das ganze Upgrade nichts.

**Developer response:** Das normale Löschen von Aufgaben funktioniert im Journal gleich wie bei den anderen Ansichten, d.h. man kann zumindest am Mac auch mit Mehrfachauswahl mehrere Aufgaben auf einmal löschen. Aber Sie beziehen sich vermutlich auf die Funktion alle abgebrochenen oder gelöschten Aufgaben auf einmal zu löschen? Da haben Sie recht, das haben wir tatsächlich vergessen bei der neuen Version (Firetask 5 ist eine vollständige Neuentwicklung, da kann das leider passieren). Wir schauen uns das an, dass wir die Funktion in den kommenden Wochen wieder einführen können, danke für den Hinweis!

### 4/5 — Gute App

*2026-01-02*

Neue Bewertung nach Gewöhnungsphase:
Die App ist besser als zuerst gedacht, und wenn die Bugs gefixt werden gibt es auch die verdienten 5 Sterne. 
Bug 1: Die Listenauswahl im Widget funktioniert nicht. Abgeschlossene Aufgaben werden wiederum im anderen Widget angezeigt.
Bug2: Im Wartend-Bereich der App erscheinen alle Aufgaben, die eine Zuweisung haben. Ich würde erwarten, da nur Tasks zu sehen, die ich auf wartend gestellt habe.
Kein Bug, aber etwas was ich mir dringend wünschen würde, wäre die Kalenderanzeige direkt im Fokusbereich und die Darstellung der Schrift im Notizenbereich war beim Vorgänger kleiner und daher besser unterscheidbar zur Überschrift. Desweiteren hätte ich Drag &Drop gerne in allen Bereichen der App unabhängig ihrer Prioritätenangabe und der alphabetischen Reihenfolge. Das es jetzt Tags gibt ist wunderbar, aber für Anwender, die viel mit Tags arbeiten recht platzaufwendig. 
Trotzdem behalte ich die App im Auge und kann sie jedem, der eine gute und übersichtliche ToDo-App sucht nur empfehlen.

**Developer response:** Erstmal Danke für die Überarbeitung der Bewertung. Die erwähnten Bugs sollten mittlerweile gefixt sein, bitte gerne auch Fehler direkt an unsere Support-Emailadresse melden; auch der Wartung-Bereich sollte nochmal konsistenter geworden sein. Schriftgrößen werden wir noch etwas tunen in den nächsten Wochen. Über Kalender und Kanban im Fokus-Bereich denken wir ebenso nach.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2025-10-13*

Nothing works. I created a project and added a task. App crashed. I can’t find or see a project or a task. I can’t sync with Apple tasks or my Firetask projects. I can’t even find where to go to buy it.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. We did extensive testing during our private beta, but it seems that some users are experiencing stability issues. The crashes seem to be related to some of the integrations with built-in apps and we are currently investigating them (which can also explain why Reminders sync might not work for you either). We hope that we can fix this shortly and will update the app as soon as possible.
