Hi Jake,
Great progress - thanks for keeping us updated. Here are a few things I would like to see to make Toodledo even greater... - Bulk edit for mobile devices - Higher limit on # of tags that can be used - Percent complete field for tasks Be happy to expound on any of these if it would help... Paul |

I've been using the iOS app for some time, and it's functional but really unwieldy. Mainly I find that adding a task - the bread and butter of the app, one could argue - is a multi-step affair if you want something that doesn't use the defaults (i.e., if you cannot use the "QuickAdd Task" area). Here's what I have to do now:
1. Tap Add Task 2. Tap Edit... 3. Tap "Untitled" (the default task name) 4. Hold the delete key until it's erased and then type the actual task name 5. Tap Done 6. Tap Priority to select desired 7. Tap Folder to select desired 8. Tap "< All Tasks" to go back You have to admit, that's a serious usability issue, and it's become an issue for me. Am I missing a shortcut of some sort? Thank you. |

Instead of Steps 3,4 and 5 you can type in the name of the task before step 2. That will be much faster.

Thanks, Jake. That gets the workflow down to:
1. Tap Add Task 2. Type name 3. Tap Edit... 4. Tap Priority to select desired 5. Tap Folder to select desired 6. Tap "< All Tasks" to go back That's still too many steps for an essential operation that I do regularly. It seems you've made the UI to support - via quick add - onloy one type of user: Someone who uses only one priority and one folder when adding new items. Would you say that most users work that way? Maybe you're thinking that the productivity workflow is to put all new tasks into a single "Incoming + __ priority" folder? Is anyone else frustrated by this unnecessarily tedious workflow for adding new tasks? Maybe I'm an outlier, but I'd be shocked if that's true. Thank you.

That is currently the fastest way to create a new task and set the title, priority and folder. We'll explore faster options in the future, but we are limited by screen size, especially when the keyboard is up as this takes up half the screen.

Just wanted to post a comment and say that the recent changes to the web client are much appreciated and are awesome!
Am looking forward to some similar updates to the iOS app. Just renewed my Gold membership. Keep on keeping on... By the way, I am a big user of Drafts app on iOS.... any additional integration would be great. Also, any improved way to integrate with Trello would also be great. Thanks Philip |

Thanks, Jake. You've improved my workflow - it's not too bad now.
