Is There an Android App With Usable Subtasks?

I've tried several ToodleDo-compatible Android apps, including the official ToodleDo app, and none of them appear to handle sub-tasks the way I need.
How I use tasks and sub-tasks: This is how I manage projects. The top-level item representing the project is a Task, and the indented items are subtasks: Mulch the Garden Beds (Folder: Projects. Context: None) Find receipt for mulch company we used last year (Folder: Next Actions, Context: Phone) Order 5 yards of mulch (Folder: None, Context: None...same for all other sub-tasks below) Edge the garden Weed the garden Spread mulch This setup works great in the web app: * I can see a list of projects by looking at the Projects folder * I can expand any project for which I want to review next actions * I can view the Next Actions folder to "pick off" just the very next action from all of my projects I can't seem to get any Android apps to work the way I want. I can get to my Next Actions just fine, by viewing the Next Actions folder. But I can't easily get to my list of next actions (all but the first not in the Next Actions folder) for a project. I think the feature I need is a simple one: When I tap on a task in the Projects folder, show me the list of sub-tasks. Ideally this would be an "expand" option similar to the web interface. But it could also work in a way that the task's details are shown, and the details include a list of its sub-tasks. This seems like a very straightforward feature. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one using sub-tasks in the manner I described above? I'd love any help or advice on how to make any of the Android mobile apps work for me. So far, they've not been useful. Thanks! Dave |

Have you tried Ultimate To-Do List? It incorporates the sub tasks in its functionality.

DGT GTD has a pretty good handling of subtasks on Android. But I don't think it will do what you need with next actions as a subtask.
