Hi there,
Thanks for the AMAZING application. I am using it for 15 minutes and already love it - after going through lots of task management applications I just ended up using Excel for my personal to-do list. And now finally I can see how I can move it to your app.
I would love to see a couple of additional features that I use currently, do you have any plans to introduce any of the following in the future:
- Change a completion date so I can track what was done when it was actually done but not when marked as done in app
- In addition to grouping by a completion date by week, add an option grouping by month, quarter, year - it is great to see what I and teams have accomplished for the past periods. Celebration is an important part.
- Sort by at least two fields, for example sort by due date and priority at the same time so I can see the most critical tasks to be done today / this week on top of the list
- Ability to sort by favourites on top, and tags which might require to have tag groups. And it would be absolutely amazing in addition to task hierarchies you have now, to have tag hierarchies too which could be used in sorting, filtering. This would be a killing feature as far as I am concerned 😊
- Apply multiple filters at the same time, such as priority, tags, favourites, dates (new filter, e.g. due, start, completion)
As you can see they all have to do with a presentation of tasks which I think is very important and is a primary reason why I turned back to a simple Excel sheet after trying all apps on a market. A presentation helps to be effectively focused and have less distractions but at the same time have enough information - a perfect balance. Most of the suggestions can be dealt with some workarounds but it would be excellent to have them available as a standard functionality. You have gone a very long way already.
Again thanks guys for your time and efforts building this application! Good luck and hugs from New Zealand!
Regards Sergii.
Hi Peggy
Regarding a completion date, sorting tasks by complete per week (which is not available on iPhone) will not solve all the challenges. For example, every Monday we used to mark the tasks that were completed last week but by doing it they will be marked as completed this week which is not fully accurate. Also, I would like to move my already completed task list with accurate completion dates to have everything in one application instead of using two. Currently I cannot import completed tasks with historical completion dates.
If I mark tasks as favourites, when performing a customised filtering I would like to have an ability to display favourite tasks on top of other tasks but within hierarchy boundaries. Since it is my favourite task, I would like it to go first comparing to other tasks at the same hierarchy level.
To use tags in sorting among pre-filtered tags for example. Say, I have lots of tags and tasks with multiple tags assigned to them. I have tasks with I tag with "road" meaning I can do them during commute, or "work" meaning I will be doing them at work, or "home" meaning they can be done only at home. So if I filter all tasks with these tags only (road, work, home), it would nice to be able to sort them (group them) by these tags so I can see all tasks related to "road" in one bucket, tasks related to "work" in the following bucket etc. This ideally should work for custom fields similar way if you plan to implement them.
Having this feature it would be great to apply grouping and sorting between two different fields. For example, using tag grouping in the example above but additionally being able to sort by priority. So I could see my tasks grouped by buckets as described above at the same time displayed in an order of priority within each bucket. So you can easily identify what you need to be focused next.
Regarding tag groups and hierarchies, I mean it would great to have a tag group "place" which would combine tags "work, home, road", for example. And then I can filter only a tag group without specifying individual tags. But this is not a big deal since I learned you plan to implement custom fields which could deliver similar functionality, having a custom field "place" with values "home, work, road" and being able to sort and filter those values.
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks again for your time and enjoy your day.

Hi Sergii, thank you for such kind feedback. As you suggestions:
You can sort the tasks by complete per week.
I don’t quite understand what you mean by this, could you please give us an example or more detail? Thanks.
For the other suggestions, I will definitely pass them to our team for further discussion! 😍
