Yes, it would put an alarm on all tasks. It is not currently possible to set a default alarm for only tasks with a due-time. I'll put this on our todo list.

In what way do you want to change this? If you want to remove it, you can unsubscribe from the Toodledo calendar, or disable the 3rd party tool that you have syncing Outlook with Toodledo.

Thanks for the suggestion. We do not comment on timeframes for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.
Thanks

Yes, you can have Toodledo send a notification from the server to your phone. You can set this up in the settings section under "Date Alarms". Pick the 3rd option "Data alarms come from website"
Of course, the website will need to know about the task to send you the alarm, so if you input your tasks into Apple's Reminders app, you will still need to open the app to sync Reminders to our website.

In December we released our big 3.0 update to our iOS app, where we redesigned the user interface and made many functional improvements. For a complete explanation of what we added please read here.
We did a ton of testing on that update. Unfortunately it wasn't enough. We received many valid complaints, so we made the difficult decision to revert to the previous version while we worked out the issues. Today we are releasing the revised update. Please visit the app store and download version 3.0.2 of our iOS app. We are proud of it, and we hope you like it.
Here are the main complaints that we got from version 3.0 and what we did about them.
1) The fonts are too small or too big.
We went through the entire app, and examined each piece of text. For those pieces of text that were too small, we increased the size to match the smallest text found in Apple's own apps. For each piece of text that was too large (mainly the task title), we decreased the font size to allow more information to fit on screen. We then tested this with several people outside of Toodledo, including people of different ages and eyesight ability to make sure that all our fonts were readable.
2) The colors are too grey or the contrast is too low.
Again, we went through the entire app and examined each piece of text with relation to it's color and background. We made the text darker and the background lighter as necessary to boost contrast. We used the industry standard W3C and WCAG 2.0 contrast ratio guidelines to ensure that every piece of important text has a high enough contrast ratio to get AA compliance.
To address the "gloomy" feel of the app, we added back the blue toolbars at the top of the page, to match the colors of this website. We also enhanced the colors and contrast between different levels of priority indicators. We took many of the light grey background colors and made them white or near-white to make the app feel brighter.
That said, the most important part of a to-do list is your data, and the UI shouldn't distract from this data. The UI should melt into the background, which is why we intentionally do not have lots of color. We will have color themes in a future update for people who want different/extra colors.
3) On the iPhone, the home page accordion rows gets scrambled and behave poorly.
The scrambling behavior was a bug related to a combination of settings and circumstances that was difficult to track down, but we finally isolated the bug and fixed it. The other complaint was that it was now a 2 click operation to view the entire list of folders instead of the 1 click that it was before. We added a blue disclosure button for each group so you can tap it (1 click) to see the entire list, or tap the row to do the accordion action to quickly see the most recently used items.
4) After upgrading, the entire app is empty.
This was a bug caused by an incorrect migration of data when someone was skipping several versions of the app during an upgrade. If you upgraded from the last version to the new version, it would work fine, but if you upgraded from 3 versions back to the newest version, it was not working. This is now fixed.
5) When viewing a list, there are too many "no due-date", and "no folder" labels cluttering the screen.
We redesigned the way that rows are displayed. If a task has no value for a piece of information, it will display a blank spot instead of "No folder". This makes the list visually less cluttered and improves readability quite a bit. As an additional improvement, if a task has no values for all of the labels below the title, we shrink the row's height to give even more space for showing more data. We also decreased the average height of each row so more tasks can fit on the screen at once.
6) The iPad popups are too slow. Checking off a task has a delay.
The iPad popups have been optimized so they will open much faster now. Checking off tasks has also been optimized. If you have "Sync on edit" enabled, it can still be a little slow if you check off multiple tasks in quick succession and we are working on optimizing this as well for a future update.
7) The Notebook section on the iPhone looked and behaved differently than the task section.
We redesigned the Notebook homepage to look and behave exactly like the Task home page so that there is more consistency with the design.
We also fixed a number of other smaller issues.
We know that the previous update was very disappointing to many of you and that we failed to deliver a quality product. We hope that this revised update will receive a warmer reception. We will continue to make refinements and improvements to the app as quickly as we can and we welcome constructive comments and suggestions in our forums and via support tickets.
App Store
If Toodledo helps you be more productive, please consider giving us a rating/review in the iTunes App Store. Even if you have rated us before, you can rate us again with each new update that we release. It really does help us to have good ratings.

For the second question, your collaborator needs to setup notifications by following the link that Purveyor posted.

Technically, that would work, but I think that some customers would not know where to click if the thing that they need to click on is invisible. I believe that this would decrease usability for some users.
If you want to set the text color to white just for yourself, you can do this by using a 3rd party browser plugin called "Stylish". You will need to find a friend who knows CSS to help you make the change for your browser.

If you have a single task with a note, and you check it off, that note will remain and will not be deleted.
What I was talking about is repeating tasks. If you have a weekly repeating task with a note, the note will be on the activate version of the task, and if you go and look up an old completed copy of that repeating task, it will not have a note.

Our hotlist criteria hasn't changed. Tasks with a future start-date have always been hidden.
http://www.toodledo.com/info/help.php?sel=1
The way to avoid this is to make a saved search with your own custom hotlist criteria or to disable the start-date field in account settings.
We plan to make the hotlist more customizable in a future update.

We have thought about this, but if the value is hidden, what do you click on to set a value?

The note is not lost. It just lives on the active version of each task. If you want to retain a copy of the note on each historical version of a task, you will have to copy and paste the note from the active version into the completed version. We may make this a user configurable setting in the future.

I have not been able to reproduce this problem, so it must be something to do with your plugins or cookie settings. Try disabling the plugins and see if that helps.
