Nice app but for 2 things
Amit, thanks for making this app. It’s a very nice app but please consider my suggestions. Thank you!
1. Please make it more difficult to accidentally grab and move items when scrolling through the task list. I accidentally grab and move things all the time when scrolling, and then I have to figure out if I indeed actually moved it and if so where in the heck I grabbed it from. It’s a reoccurring royal pain. Please make scrolling more user-friendly.
2. Please do something so that we do not lose our data when syncing with iCloud. I totally lost my entire Taskpaper file when syncing to iCloud with Taskmator. I’m a grown man, and I almost cried.
User Tip: I highly recommend that all users backup your Taskmator files by selecting and holding the file name and then selecting “Duplicate.” Better safe than sorry, and it’s relatively easy to do.

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 ☹️
