I agree. I've tried to adjust to the 3 levels of hierarchy: Folders > Tasks > Subtasks.
But it just doesn't fit my brain. Project (titles) vs proper tasks (actionable) are too muddled. I need to conceptually break down complex problems, in a logical (ie hierarchical) way. Without flexible hierarchy support, Toodledo forces these awkward compressions of levels of abstraction, which makes recalling a project structure for future triage difficult. I find myself wanting to abandon toodledo for mindmaps and such. But then I miss all the actionable and context filtering goodies. I would like to be able to nest both both a project list, and infinite task nesting within a project. The new outline feature is disappointing because it is not well integrated. It almost like a separate app that they bolted on. Why should I have to go to separate chooser screen with it's own organizational structures to nest a list, outline, or note within a project. Also the fact that it is reserved for the top tier price plan shows that this is not considered an essential feature in the developer's eyes. A very simple alternative would be to have multiple notes under task, and and be able to re-order them via drag and drop, and also "complete" or cross them out. These notes could then be used as light-weight subtasks. Todo7 sort of does this with thier checklists feature. Todoist and Any.do also have similar functionality. Again I don't think Toodledo's new checklist feature fits the bill here. I've suffered a long time under this (ostensibly well meaning limitation), but I've just about given up on Toodledo to help me manage the complexity in my life. (despite it's overy-complex and fugly UI's) This message was edited Nov 09, 2013. |

What is new in this app? Basically the same, but just more clicks to get somewhere :/ I would like to get: * Custom search * More flexible filtering and sort: Why cant i have different sort in my Hotlist and on my Priority view? I agree. Seems like more of the same: -Clunky visual design (at least on the website we can use Stylish CSS overrides) -barely usable speed (erratic and extended lags on any touch app is super-frustrating) -too many clicks/screens to wade through (especially to get at sibling subtasks) -No global search -NO CUSTOM SAVED SEARCHES! -no way to tailor filters per view, or save filter presets -cannot filter Goals Toodledo has the most comprehensive & flexible data model of all the GTD apps I've seen. But a deal-breaking feature for me from the beginning was a reliably-syncing native IOS client. Over time, I've grown into using the website in more powerful ways, but I find myself avoiding the mobile UI, and consistently frustrated when I try to use it to manage data. Patiently waiting... but I'm beginning to lose confidence. (do I need to try and write my own mobile app client to be able to get at my data in a faster, more direct, more custom, more usable way?)
