Some things I just wanted to catalog here as my "most looking forward to" feature requests.
1) Sounds/alerts - I know Apple has yet provided access to the calendar for alarms on due date related tasks but it would be a very nice touch to get a sound on task completion. If the point of having tasks is to complete them including a sound of accomplishment would go to honoring that focus. Now the ability for a user to pick the sound like a ring tone would be awesome. I may wind up actually completing tasks just to here that sound. 2) Chart/Graphs - I have heard it said "If you cannot measure it you cannot move it." I am passionate about this. I would like to have a relationship with my tasks that goes beyond a ledger. Adding sounds engages one of the senses and charts/graphs encourages a different right brain aspect in us. There is no sense of momentum for me if I am not able to gauge "my relationship with task accomplishment" I can see when things are due, what categories they are in, etc. It is all in a "list" as exciting as a set of groceries my wife wants me to pick up. All the information needed to create charts is there in 4 to 5 variables. Creation date, due date, completion date, completion status, and possibly times for each of these dates. Charts/Graphs are a perfect objective reflection of our accomplishments or lack of it where our most challenging opponent is ourselves. There is one app out there that I know uses charts. I would like to see this in to do. 3) Completing tasks - I know this may not ever happen but I cannot for the life of me see a more intuitive fun way of completing a task than a swipe and "complete" or "done" button press. It may quicker to do a one tap but there is something about the motion and animation of seeing the task drop out of view I think would create an addictive endorphin rush. Right now the motion defaults to delete but you can already delete the task from the details. Completion could become just a thumb swipe and press away. I appreciate the strike out options but find it counter-intuitive in reviewing the days completed takes cause it would be difficult to read. I would much prefer a background color and possibly foreground text color change with a completed header. Why keep around something you can hardly read and bring the messiness of paper to a gadget meant to replace it? 4) Date Wheel - It is available only at the bottom inside a detail view option. Why not have it on top. It is definitely more essential and versatile then the next 7 days listed. Especially because those next 7 days exist within the wheel but dates beyond the next 7 days don't exist in the listing Maybe a future advance feature regarding dates (since they are most likely the thing to get changed in a task would be to program a Swipe from the right to the left to bring up a date wheel. It does clutter up the interface and adds a "going details screen" free way of quickly rescheduling a due date. It would be fine if it is simply a swipe from right to left to bring up a due date button press to date selector. 5) Contacts - Do you know how many contact managers are out there? Maybe just as much as there are to do programs. You provide a way to create contact that is many levels deep and only in relation to a task. What if my task is to create a new contact entry. It is a 2 minute rule type task that does not need a task created for it. How about having that as a quick start button on the home screen so I don't necessarily have to rely on another contact manager. Even if "I" do there are probably lots of your users who create contact using the same exact process but go outside of todo because it isn't available there even though it can be. There may be other opportunities for the other types of links. Who knows but contacts is definitely a safe bet. This is just a start. I just saw and app recently that is clever enough to take snapshots of your high priority tasks and make it your wallpaper at certain intervals so it serves as sort of a today screen. You can therefore view your tasks on a single button press before unlocking your phone. What will they think of next? :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Learn more about Todo, Notebook (notes available everywhere), and AccuFuel (fuel efficiency tracker) on Appigo's website: http://www.appigo.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Appigo Todo" group.
