## What is Tasks?

Tasks - Create Live Activities lets you personalize your lock screen like never before.

Display your tasks on the Lock Screen and have them always showing above notifications - and also on the Dynamic island. Change the text and background appearance, and choose to hide the tasks.

Add up to 5 tasks at a time. Underline and strikethrough tasks, and keep track with a 12 hour timer - all tasks end when the timer ends.

If you have any questions or feedback, I'm all ears. Tasks - Create Live Activities was created by an individual in his free time, and I’d love to know what you think. I’m available through Twitter @elohohel.

### 1/5 — Feel bad wasting money on this app

*2026-08-23*

I recently installed the paid version of this app, hoping it would work as described, but unfortunately I’m very disappointed.

When I add a task, the app seems to randomly assign a countdown timer to it. For example, a task I just added was given only a 1-hour window. Once the countdown ends, the task simply disappears, and I can’t find any way to view or recover it.

There is also no option to edit a task after creating it or extend/change its countdown time. I can’t find any Settings section to customise how the app works, and there doesn’t appear to be any way within the app to contact the developer for support or provide feedback. I also couldn’t find any user guide explaining how these features are supposed to work.

For a paid app, I expected much more control and basic functionality. At the moment, it feels very limited and unfortunately like a waste of money.

### 4/5 — Pretty much what I’ve been looking to do for ages!

*2024-05-20*

I’ve been trying to find a way to add reminders quickly and prominently to my Lock Screen but nothing seemed to do it. I finally found this app and was sceptical because of the one negative review and at first while I was trying to get it working, it didn’t appear in my Lock Screen so I thought it was a dud but after I deleted it and reinstalled it again due to the demo task amount lock that made it impossible to trial without purchasing, it came up with an iOS question about whether I wanted it to allow time sensitive notifications. After I said yes it was finally working and I saw the potential of this app so I purchased it for a relatively cheap one off price.

It’s very basic though and only really lets you customise the colour scheme of the notification window background and the text to different colours (I use a dark mode style scheme) and then a bold / strike through system for the text to mark tasks complete, but it works. It could probably do with a few more features like icons and images to customise your tasks if possible though and especially stuff like the ability to edit a task without having to delete all tasks at once (annoying if you add a fourth task and misspell it so have to wipe them all and start over) but I presume that might be due to how it works by using the live notification system which is also probably why it has a 12 hour countdown limit to keep in the notifications centre (I like how you can hide that though). 

Still it does exactly what I’ve been looking to do for a while now so it’s well worth the small one off payment for me especially since it’s also able to put a task in the Dynamic Island, something I’ve wanted to do for ages now which I thought would have been easy enough for an app to do but not many apps seem to do it and if they do then they definitely don’t do it well or as simply as this app does.

### 4/5 — Too simple and minimalistic for it’s own good

*2023-05-01*

First of all, that goofy lavender background flash angled me when I downloaded the app at night so having customization or at least the ability to change colors would be a welcome addition. I also think task should be marked “completed” by just pressing on them instead of swiping. Otherwise, it’s very useful and it’s a very clever idea to integrate tasks into dynamic island and live activities. I would love to see this app improve over time.

### 4/5 — Love it! lacks personalization tho

*2023-02-09*

I love the way the tasks show up on my lock screen- every time i pick up my phone it’s big enough and right there in your face i can’t ignore it unlike the other reminder apps. I do wish there was more customization options such as editing the timer or adding individual timers. Or even being able to delete a completed task-or a task that was put in by mistake.

### 5/5 — App Usage- Review

*2023-01-16*

I like the fact that I can use this like I do at home on a white board. User friendly and they make navigation simple.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-01-03*

Not as advertised even with purchase. Don’t waste your money on this trash!

### 2/5 — Bug

*2022-11-30*

What's wrong idk, i cant even create a single task whaaat!!! Asking for premium
