No instructions for use

There is a lot I liked about this app for keeping up with tasks. Unfortunately there are very sketchy directions for use and I am not able to figure it out myself.

Love it!

This app has already been useful and I just started using it. It’s a simple tool that I’m happy to pay for! I think this will be my go-to for to-do lists and reminders. It doesn’t clog your phone and/or mind with notifications that can annoy or distract you, or come through at inconvenient times, etc. It’s easy to set up, and can be used as a widget of varying sizes if you want to have your icons visible without opening the app to check them. I noticed pretty quickly that, for me, the tasks I’ve created are staying at the forefront of my mind better than with other methods I’ve tried—but also, in a way that feels less invasive and more organized in my brain! It’s great that it tracks repeating duties also, with a variety of choices on how to customize their timelines; for example, if something isn’t completed on time, you can choose whether to start a new cycle regardless, or to show it as overdue and wait until completion to start the cycle again. Each item can be customized how it makes most sense for the task, including being set to be finished only once, or at intervals. You can also use tags for organizing into searchable categories, e.g. “work” or “home”, and can attach notes, if needed. I hope i didn’t make it sound complicated because it’s really not—part of what makes it so great in my opinion. Functional, yet simple. And the creator doesn’t track YOU! Worth a try if you’re looking for a new, possibly better, way to track your goals, responsibilities and schedule, and want something non-invasive. A really good alternative to the traditional to-do list approach. And a great way to remember things without being reminded!

This app has already been useful and I just started using it. It’s a simple tool that I’m happy to pay for! I think this will be my go-to for to-do lists and reminders. It doesn’t clog your mind/phone with notifications and annoy or distract you, remind you at the wrong times etc. I’ve actually noticed, on the contrary, the ‘tasks’ I set are staying around the forefront of my mind better than other methods I’ve tried, but in a way that feels more organized in my brain(!)—if that makes sense. I think it might be related to using images/icons to represent each task, versus words like in a standard list. The ‘why’ … I don’t know… but I like it! It’s worth a try if you’re looking for a new way to stay organized or a better way to schedule your time and activities—and a way to remember things without being reminded!

Love it! But needs a bug fixed

This app has already been useful and I just started using it. However, after my first two tasks were created, I am unable to add more. The ‘save’ button is greyed out and won’t work. I tried upgrading with a free trial for the paid version but that didn’t help. I restarted my phone and checked the app was updated, but the problem persists. I couldn’t find a way to contact the developer so I’m leaving a review hoping the bug can be fixed. It’s a simple tool that I’m happy to pay for! Because once the bug is fixed, I think this will be my go-to for to do lists and reminders. Thanks for creating this!

A great find!!

I love this app, and it really is helping me get more done.
I like being able to set a task to repeat “x-time from last completion.” (Sometimes a specific clock time just doesn’t cut it.) Also, tagging is great if you want to focus on one set of tasks.

Ironic that I found this app by accident when a similar (but inferior) app stopped working for me & I needed a replacement. Even though the older app works again, I’m sticking with this one…

needs option to tick off tasks before they’re due

I just downloaded and really like the layout, and the visually appealing design. I also like how it reminds me of tasks through widget instead of notifications, as I find notifications get drowned out. I love the option to make my own tags aswell. I would really love it however if there was a wider range of colours to customise each task because they are too few. I also think the app needs the option to tick of a task before it is due, as I often complete tasks prior to the deadline. If these options were added, would definitely be a five star app 👍

Response from developer

Hi Asha4444! Thanks for feedback! If you have time, please contact me via kola.feedback@gmail.com (or you can find an email button on the settings screen). I really would like to discuss your idea of ticking a task before it's due, because right now I'm not sure, I understand what you mean. And speaking about wider range of colors – great idea, I've added this to my backlog, will do in future releases.
