It isn't a bug, it is what happens when you don't have a 3rd sort criteria. If several of your tasks have the same first and second sort then (for the purposes of the list) they are exactly the same, and their order amongst themselves will be random and unpredictable. The order may even change between refreshes of the page. If you want a consistent 3rd sort then you will need to pick a 3rd sort (this is why we made the 3rd sort).

I will address some of the common complaints here:
Font size is too large on task title.
We will be decreasing the font size in the next update to be the same size as what it was before.
Font size is too small in other places.
We will be increasing the font sizes in the next update.
Colors are too boring/ugly/terrible/grey.
We consulted with some very good designers for this project and they made the suggestion (that we agreed with) that the most important part of a to-do list is the customer's data, and that the UI shouldn't distract from this data. It's not a flashy game, it's a productivity tool, so don't make a flashy UI. The UI should melt into the background, which is why we intentionally made it less colorful, to highlight your data. That said, one of our intentions with this redesign was to set the stage for "themes" in the future. We did a lot of work to make the style modular so that it would be easy in the future to make user customizable themes. So if you want flashy colors, this is coming. In the meantime, we will soon be making some refinements to our "grey" color scheme to make the contrast better and have less dark grey on light grey which may be difficult to read for some people.
Priority triangles
There is a bug that causes the priority triangles to always be there, even if you disable the priority field (9% of you). We will get this fixed (sorry). We are also increasing the color contrast between the different values so that they are easier to distinguish (sorry). The reason why we turned the priority field into a color indicator was so that we could fit more information on the screen. This frees up a field below the task title to display some other piece of useful information.
Dividers between tasks
We have had dividers for a long time, but up until this version we had the option to turn them off if you didn't want them. We removed this ability because it was very difficult to maintain the code and make the changes that we wanted to make with optional dividers. We also added some functionality to the dividers to make them much more useful, so we thought that people should start using it (95% of you already did anyway). Here are the three useful things that the dividers do: 1) They show the total number of tasks in that group. 2) They allow you to collapse an entire group (by clicking) to simplify the list. 3) They display redundant information in one space. Instead of printing "Due Today" on every single task, we just display it once at the top of the section which gives us room to display something more useful and unique below each task.
Field X disappeared
It seems that we have a bug that is causing the update to sometimes disable a field. This is an easy one-time fix. Go into Settings > Fields & Defaults and then move the field back into the used section. We are still investigating this bug. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Task list is empty on iPad after updating
This is also a bug that we are trying to track down. We have not been able to reproduce it, but we know from several customers that deleting the app and reinstalling will fix it. It may be an issue with a corrupted update from Apple. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Saved Searches / Nested Subtasks / Full Collaboration / File Attachments
These features from our main website have been on our to-do list for the iPhone app for a long time. Too long, I admit it. We have had some difficulty with our iOS development pipeline this past year, but this update did a lot of work behind the scenes to clean things up and make future development quicker. These four features are at the top of our list and as soon as we get the bugs worked out we will release them to you.
Putting it in perspective
A common rule of thumb is that for every 1 complaint there are 25 dissatisfied customers who didn't complain. Based on the number of complaints that we have gotten and the number of people who have updated so far, we are estimating that about 5% of updaters are dissatisfied. Naturally we want this number to be closer to 0%, but given the scope of this update and the fact that the vast majority of complaints are easy to fix and will be fixed in a week or two, I am pretty satisfied with what we have made. If this update has ruined your day, I am very sorry. Please create a support ticket and give us your feedback so that we can try to improve the app to be better for you.

If you disable the priority field then the priority indicators should not appear. I can see that this is a bug and I will make sure that this is fixed in the next update, which will be out soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you do not want to use the 3rd sort criteria, then set it to be the same as the 2nd criteria and it will not be used. For example:
1st: Folder
2nd: Priority
3rd: Priority
This is the same as
1st: Folder
2nd: Priority

We are looking into this problem but have not been able to reproduce it yet. If you delete and reinstall the app and then sync fresh it will be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the feedback. We will consider a way to disable this feature for people who don't want it. We added it because often it is necessary to add more than 1 tasks at a time, and it was pretty tedious to have to press the add button, type, press the save button, press the add button again, etc etc. This provides a much faster way to quickly add several tasks. From or analysis of how people use Toodledo, we saw that often multiple tasks are added at the same time, so we built this to make it quicker.

Thanks for all the feedback. Naturally, with such a big change there will be mixed reviews and knee-jerk reactions, however I am pleased that the worst complains are about font sizes and colors. These things are easy to fix and we plan to have a refinement update in the next few weeks that will address these concerns.
Please keep sending the feedback.
PS: There are too many comments and questions for us to individually reply. Please open a support ticket if you want some individual replies.

Our iOS app has just received our biggest update ever. Toodledo 3.0 features a totally redesigned interface with emphasis on efficiency and cleanliness.
✔ iPhone Only: Home page has a new accordion style list that expands and contracts to show the most recently used groups. This makes it much faster to drill into lists. For example, an important folder or tasks due today.
✔ iPad Only: There is now a shortcut tray on the left side that allows you to quickly drill into any list. You no longer need to press the back button 3 or 4 times to get into a different list. Just tap and go.
✔ Slim toolbar above each list now shows exactly how your list is sorted and gives quick access to sorting by up to three different criteria at the same time.
✔ New "Quick Add" toolbar. Swipe down on any list to reveal the quick add box. Type and press enter to add a task and then immediately keep typing to add another. Type, enter, type, enter, type, enter. Add multiple tasks quickly.
✔ Filters have been made easier to understand and quicker to use. You can now turn all filters on and off with one switch so you can quickly view your entire list and then apply your filters to hide the unimportant tasks. Tag and context filters have been redesigned to be easier to use and can also be turned on/off with one click.
✔ Lists now show more data in a smarter way, by hiding redundant information and showing more details.
✔ Priority is now indicated visually with a color coded badge in the corner of every task.
✔ Task notes are now visible without scrolling, with a new interface that makes it easy to expand and collapse the note. Notes can be edited by tapping directly on them. Simple HTML formatting can be done. Phone numbers in notes can be clicked to call, and links can be clicked to open your web browser.
✔ You can now add a new subtask directly from the parent's details screen.
✔ Notebook section has been redesigned for more efficient use of space.
✔ Notebook section also gets the improvements from the task section: Quick add, redesigned sort toolbar, tap to edit, and HTML formatted notes.
✔ Numerous behind the scenes improvements, optimizations and bug fixes.
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.

If you go into your account settings you can set default values for both time and alarm. That may help :)

Mail can sync in the background because it is Apple's app and it has that honor. 3rd party apps like GMail, Facebook and Toodledo cannot sync in the background. GMail and Facebook give the illusion of syncing by using remote notifications. Essentially, they send a message to your phone that there is something new and the next time you open the app, it downloads it. It does not download it until you launch the app. Same with Toodledo. Toodledo cannot download any information from the website or from Reminders until the app is launched.
Hope that explains it.

Alarms can currently go to an email, an iPhone, a twitter account or as a text message. Additionally, if you have a 3rd party app on your Android, you may be able to get an alarm through that app.
We do not current support desktop alarms, but it is something that we would like to have in the future. One way to do this now would be to sync Toodledo with a desktop calendar (like iCal on a Mac) and then get alarms through the calendar.

If this is the make or break feature for you, then I will understand why you are not renewing. I am sorry that we were not able to build this feature yet.

It sounds like you are aren't fully signing out. Try this, in the top left corner, click the button that says "Tasks" and select "Settings". Then click "Sign Out". You may then want to clear your cookies and saved data for Toodledo, but this shouldn't be necessary. You can then sign into the other account.
Another alternative is to use a different web browser for the other account. That way you could be signed into both at the same time.
