About

WS Tasks

Features
Read full description

With WS Tasks you can create and manage your personal tasks, as well as enter amounts for each of them, share them with friends, create polls, synchronize the tasks in multiple devices or see the changes made by your friends on each task in real time. Are you meeting your friends for a bbq but you have to buy too much stuff? With WS Tasks you can create a task with sub-tasks and share them with your friends. Each friend will be responsible for assigning these tasks and entering the cost of the task. WS Tasks will automatically calculate how much each friend has contributed and how much each one has to pay. A quick and easy way to settle accounts. Does a friend not have the application? No problem, you can indicate the total number of participants even if they don't have the application installed, and in this way WS Tasks will calculate how much each participant owes or how much has to be paid to a specific friend.
