cj	Posted: Jan 05, 2013 From Topic: Toodledo for iOS downgraded For me, it was not the UI change (colors etc) ... there were fundamental flaw that prevented me from using ToodleDo at all (or effectively). The last update was a nonstarter for me on iOs ... and instead I struggled to manage my lists using the browser on the ipad - clumsy without a mouse, and sometimes impossible if I am offline. So Kudos for Toodledo for doing the right thing and rolling back. I was so so grateful for this! The new (flawed) ios version debuted just a few days before I was set to leave for 3.5 weeks abroad and I would have been completely sunk. I was ecstatic for the rollback. I do look forward to anything new, but the latest just didn't hit the mark. Right now I am generally happy with the UI and functionality on IOS (android sucks - but I am still keeping my hopes up ; ) would really love a substantial (usable) Android version well before any iOS updates. But that's just me.
cj	Posted: Dec 13, 2012 From Topic: Toodledo for iOS downgraded Ditto. Thank you!! Posted by fbatot: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Thank you very much for the downgrade on the iPhone app!!! I'm a huge fan of Toodledo!! (just not a fan of the iphone upgrade. Brown is just an ugly color for an app) GO TEAM-TOODLEDO!!!!
cj	Posted: Dec 06, 2012 From Topic: Updated iOS Apps - Please Remove Priority Mark I have to agree with Tek. I really don't like the new ios interface (used on my iPad). Hopefully with some technical fixes I might get used to it, but for now, it is nearly unusable for me, and I now just use toodledo in the browser. What a shame. 1. it is much slower than the older version. I'm sure the new version tries to use a lot of new ios resources - but to what end? there seems to be no more (and maybe less) functionality. Just the act of tapping on several 'completed' checkboxes in a row has me waiting 10 seconds or more per tap... (note my other apps operate just fine, so it's not an issue with my ipad) 2. I can see the new UI layout being an improvement (or on the road to an improvement) but the old one was OK with me too. One thing that is terrible about the new layout - is that I notice when I want to swipe to scroll down in my hotlist, boom! all my dividers close - and disappear! I have to actually shut down and restart toodledo (sometimes more than once) to get them back. That alone has forced me to abandon this new version until further notice. (PS - another bug is that - if I am locked in landscape mode, and try to edit a task, the edit screen is still forces itself in portrait and I have to turn the entire ipad around, or unlock the orientation) 3. Toodledo is still, by far my #1 used app (aside from email) - it's just that neither the ios or android versions come close, by a longshot, to the usability and simplicity of the browser version. (in fact, I've had to pretty much abandon all mobile versions of toodledo, unless I am really desperate) ... it's a shame since I'd be willing to pay at least twice what I'm paying now, per year, to have quality mobile versions of toodledo.
cj	Posted: Aug 23, 2012 From Topic: Link tasks so that completion of A causes completion of B? Posted by JPR: Tracking is secondary, and in service of the goal... which is doing. If tracking is not the primary goal... then I do something similar (very similar), and have had two different approaches. 1. the simple approach. Daily repeating task: Exercise: Workout/Run 5m/Martial Arts and I merely check it off if I perform one of these tasks. 2. more complex approach, with a little tracking (a 'for instance'): One time setup: GOAL: (Lifetime) = "Physically Fit" Daily Task: Exercise (optional daily) Sub Task: Weights (optional daily) - Goal: "Physically Fit" Sub Task: Running (optional daily) - Goal: "Physically Fit" Sub Task: Martial Arts (optional daily) - Goal: "Physically Fit" Every Day Use: "Exercise" shows up in my daily todo ... I click on Exercise and check off the one that I did (say, running), and also check off "Exercise" (if I want it to disappear from the list - this is optional) Soooooo..... in other words. Every day, "Exercise" appears, with the 3 choices. I check off one. Later, if I want to see progress, I can look at "Goals" and see how each of the 3 exercises contributed to my Goal of "Physically Fit". Or I can look at the charts for more details. I know this took a long time to describe, but it is really quick and easy, and a One-time setup. This message was edited Aug 23, 2012.
cj	Posted: Apr 17, 2012 From Topic: Character count in Notes Can we add to the wish list a character / word count in the notes boxes (not just characters remaining)? It's a simple little tweak, that at least for me would be meaningful. I use the notes for pre-writing (and wordsmithing) possible/future tweets, and in some cases draft blog posts. Sure there are other tools - but for just these quick drafts I use toodledo notes plus a chrome plugin for word count. It would be soooo much easier if I saw "128 characters" instead of "63872 characters left" it's the little things. thanks!
cj	Posted: Mar 30, 2012 From Topic: Radio buttons or links to set priority more quickly/easily? Posted by Purveyor: I've noticed, though, that Jake's recent comments have been more informative. He really is maintaining a very high level of responsiveness. Sure (I am assuming Jake is the ToodleDo guy responding here) - they have been great, and even better is that they respond to private support emails quickly and personally. Buy IMHO they do need a different way to manage specific feature requests and bugs/anomalies that don't include having to read every single comment on these boards! The example I gave (here's another: http://code.google.com/p/smoothgestures-chromium/issues/list is a solid and popular way of doing this) and it would not only save the ToodleDo folks hours per day of monitoring the forums - but would consolidate for all of us the reported issues, and feature requests. For instance - if I had an idea for making repeating tasks more efficient, I could just go to the 'requests list' and see that I was the 80th person to think of it, and merely upvote it instead of cluttering the forums with yet another request. Toodledo could see the feature requests all in one place along with how popular it is and make their own determination as to when to include it. But at least we all could see that it was acknowledged in one place. Saves everyone time and energy. Just a suggestion. And yes, I know: 'Toodledo cannot give a timeframe for ...' ; ) This message was edited Mar 30, 2012.
cj	Posted: Mar 29, 2012 From Topic: Radio buttons or links to set priority more quickly/easily? Thanks for chiming in, Purveyor, with some reason and rationality. My comment was merely a playful parody of Toodledo's knee-jerk, canned message about new feature suggestions. And I was wrong to even reply to that other guy. To borrow from a phrase "arguing with a troll only proves that there are two." And I agree - there are some people who spend their days on forum boards just to feel important or superior, and somehow appoint themselves moderator of all things: appointing themselves the arbiter of spelling, grammar, truth, justice and the American way. Usually you find them commenting on political blogs, but some find their way on to forums like this. Toodledo is great; I've been a user and fan for many years, but leaving a suggestion on these boards is very much like asking the FBI about space aliens: you will get a predictable "we cannot confirm or deny the existence of ..." response, to the point where it is amusing to those of us who read these forums frequently. But now that you mention it - there are some really great, and well established methods of allowing users to post suggestions or bugs in such a way that the severity and popularity of the suggestions can be collected and tracked. And actually these methods save the developer a lot of time - rather than have them read message boards and type responses (google code/project tracking comes to mind). It would be so simple for Toodledo to enable one of these methods, and very time saving for them (and us). This message was edited Mar 29, 2012.
cj	Posted: Mar 21, 2012 From Topic: Radio buttons or links to set priority more quickly/easily? Sarcasm is real productive on these forums. Thanks. It's a real mystery as to why others don't use it more often to make friends!
cj	Posted: Mar 21, 2012 From Topic: How to Cancel A Task That is Repeating? I do the same thing... but the "it only takes 2 clicks" shows a bit of a lack of understanding the real user experience. There are lots of times where I need to change many dates in a row (due to the repeating issue the OP wrote, or for other reasons) - changing dates that I cannot do using the search/multi edit ... (dates may be different) - those TWO clicks end up being pretty time consuming. If those two clicks did not require us to FIND the proper links in the dropdown box that is in a DIFFERENT position for EVERY task in a list, then it might be tolerable. As prior posts have requested - keyboard shortcuts for changing the dates (or at least shortcuts that don't require clicking an elusive dropdown box) would be a better option. I know ... you can't comment, confirm or deny features on your roadmap.
cj	Posted: Mar 19, 2012 From Topic: Radio buttons or links to set priority more quickly/easily? Posted by Salgud: Posted by cj: and ToodleDo.... yeah yeah yeah, I know ... (in droning corporate voice): "Thanks for the suggestion. We can't comment on a timeframe for implementation..." Just curious. What is your recommendation that they do instead of their usual statement? How about - "great idea. we're getting a lot of requests for that feature, and realize it is important to our users so we're moving it up the priority list for our next release" happy?

cj	Posted: Mar 13, 2012 From Topic: Radio buttons or links to set priority more quickly/easily? That's a great idea for the Toodledo Development staff! (I'd love something similar for Dates, too! ie. right there in the row: 3 radio buttons (or similar) next to the word (High-Medium...). I could merely click right from the interface without dropdowns (the english name should change automatically) ... and see both by the position of the buttons and/or the english names. This flavor of priority display should be one of the column options (when I am dragging and dropping my design layout). I would LOVE this... Also ... something similar for dates. There's a lot a good designer/coder can do with this (better ideas than mine) but in this case I'd love to see a column option where I could display a radio button (click the dot, right?) ... where I could QUICKLY change the due date to today, tomorrow, or next week. Great idea Damon ... I am just extending it to other fields and adding a vote that someone do this with a script or that Toodledo add it. and ToodleDo.... yeah yeah yeah, I know ... (in droning corporate voice): "Thanks for the suggestion. We can't comment on a timeframe for implementation..."
cj	Posted: Feb 07, 2012 From Topic: Skipping Repeating Tasks Actually, I have the same request too, but maybe have been a little embarrassed to ask. The "optionally on" modifier does not solve the problem in my case (and perhaps the original poster): For example, if I have on my list a daily workout (a repeating task, daily, that also contributes to the goal "lose 25 pounds."... Or something like that) -- then, as expected and desired, the Workout task appears every day, and if I actually do the workout that I would like to check it off as complete (for the day), and if I didn't do the workout, I would like to check it off as skip or something like that. This way, I can see the "chain" accurately in the "organize goals" section... if I use "optionally on" then two things happen: the skipped workout appears the next day as something that I should have done yesterday (e.g. A late task) as opposed to the current task of the day. Also, I believe the "optionally on" feature kind of screws up, when it comes to tracking the chain.
cj	Posted: Jan 10, 2012 From Topic: Multi-Edit and Recurrence I've searched the forums but could not quite find where this particular question has been asked or answered. Regarding Search and Multi-edit - specifically multi-edit (search and replacing) dates. For instance if I want to replace all Start Dates with corresponding Due Date for each task. I know it's easy to replay all with "today" or "tomorrow" but in this case I wanted to reference the other date field "DueDate" any suggestions on how I can achieve this?
cj	Posted: Dec 07, 2011 From Topic: A few bug fixes Thanks! How about some sort of shortcut for advancing the date when the calendar pop-up is open. It's such a pain and slows down entry when I have to choose a different day ... like going 60 miles an hour and hitting a huge speed bump. Yes yes, i know - you "can't comment on a timeframe for implementation" ... ; )

cj	Posted: Oct 28, 2011 From Topic: Editing Multiple Tasks - Without a Search +1 Really need this! So much so, that I am starting the OTD movement (Occupy ToodleDo) until we get what we want ... This message was edited Oct 28, 2011.
cj	Posted: Oct 19, 2011 From Topic: Repeat I want this feature too.... One probekm I see with the "delete it when you're done" strategy is that, if I am using the goal setting/tracking and I delete the repetitive task, the 'chain' gets deleted too... No?
cj	Posted: Aug 30, 2011 From Topic: Sync with Google Tasks I too like the idea off synching with google tasks. And to reinforce what others are saying: I love toodledo and have been a pro subscriber for over 2 years, I don't want give up the functionality or organization of toodledo ... but Gmail (and other google products) are the ones I use most frequently on an hourly even min by min basis. I have many other apps (such as on my ipad and driod) that have convenient one-stop integration of all my google apps. While I can sometimes add in toodledo as a gadget, many times I cannot, or rather google-tasks is more integrated (it sucks, but I don't blame them for integrating). So, if toodledo were integrated or otherwise connected to google tasks, that would be just another thing to make life easier.
cj	Posted: Aug 19, 2011 From Topic: Tags While we're on the subject of tags ... I am perplexed that I have not seen this issue mentioned - at least when I search these forums: + when I click on "View by Tag" ... yes, the tasks that are tagged are displayed but also the future tasks as well. NO, "Show future tasks" isn't checked. + the future tagged tasks that are displayed, seem to have something to do with that they are sub-tasks. But they are still due in the future. I can "hide subtasks" but then substask that are due today get hidden. What am I doing wrong?
