Not impressed

Not what I expected.

Scrolling by flick can move text - Ugh

Still a problem - and fatal for me. Using the scroll bar feature works well and can quickly move from top to bottom of a file be sliding your finger tip from top to bottom of the edge of the screen.
But the normal method of scrolling up or down on an iPhone remains how Steve Jobs demonstrated it in 2007. Flicking up and down the screen. 14 years of muscle and brain memory is really hard to stop using.
And this is Taskmator's failure.
I regularly see some random bit of text flying up the screen to a new location without doing a "tap and hold" to select the text I want to move somewhere rose. The problem with the super speed of dragging to the top of the document after just starting to drag seems to have been fixed. So the inadvertent move does seem constrained to be modestly local to the starting location.
When I do use tap and hold it seems to have a significant delay before popping the text up to move. This is good and I wonder how flicking can get past this delay. Perhaps if tap and hold to move is set to only work when the text is STATIONARY. Just thinking.
I will not give up on Mac TaskPaper as it is one of the most creative apps ever introduced. I use it every day and a lot. Thank you to Jesse Grosjean.
Just duplicate TaskPaper on IOS and you can have a real winner.

Dropbox doesn't work; Files app integration is dicey

The direct Dropbox integration doesn't work at all -- maybe it was abandoned when the Files app integration got added? Or so it would seem.

Sadly, the Files app integration is quite bad; syncing doesn't seem to happen. Also (maybe related?) there's some weird lagginess if you turn off Apple Reminders integration.

This app might be okay if you're only working with local files on your iPad, but if you want to store your Taskpaper files in the cloud.

Essentially, this seems like abandonware. Stay away.

Keeps crashing. No updates. Was this abandoned?

I’m frustrated by frequent crashes and menu options not working.
Edit: where do I find version 3.9994? The last iOS version 5.46 is 3 months old.
Edit 2: tried contacting the developer but received no revert ☹️

失望

taskpaper的功能大部份都满足了。就是不够完善,按理说这个水平的app,还是免费让大家测试改进比较好。30块钱不值当。卸载了,放弃Taskpaper,老老实实掏钱买omnifocus pro。
选择尝试taskpaper,是看好他的搜索功能,自由度高。但omnifocus pro的自定义透视也不是不行。
