This is an iOS bug. Instead, dissmiss the keyboard by scrolling first and then long-press a task. ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.

One Task's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#138 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
