VBS Tasks
Read full descriptionHide full description
The VBS Task app is a Task Manager app that can help the user organize tasks into logical and manageable details. A category or image can be added to the task list, so at a glance, it is easy to keep track of what one needs to do next. I have provided some suggested task lists and categories as an example that can be deleted with a swipe left and a toggle on the Info screen to restore deleted suggestions in case the user wants to view them again. I hope you find it helpful.
