Hi folks,

I'd like to suggest (yeah, I know, the list is long) one tiny modification:

Can you have a setting that prevents the iphone from timing out and locking when a list screen is up? I use ToodleDo for shopping all the time, and my iPhone has mandatory screen timeout (it's provided by work) so I am always having to unlock the phone to continue. I also want to be able to have toodledo up on screen while it is in the charger on my desk, without locking every couple of minutes.

There are a number of apps that have a "Don't lock the phone while this app is running" feature. It's apparently just one line of code:

I'd love this as a feature, and it doesn't seem to onerous to add.

Thanks for a cool app.

We intentionally allow the screen to lock when it is not in use so that people's batteries do not get drained. We will consider making this a user preference.

Thank you!

Having you add it to the "to be considered" list, that's all I ask. :)
