Wow - you're right. I was using Toodledoo as a basic foldered Task list, but I see there's quite a bit to it behind the basics.
Point taken on other comments as well. As I mentioned - a key MLO strength is the ability to see the whole list - something that the iPhone detracts from. I've just checked - I have 450 tasks, some years old*, and some up to 6 structures deep (eg. Work -> Clients -> Client A -> Project A -> Presentation A -> Tasks for presentation). Putting aside my own life management skills for a moment, it's the 'down-time' of a long airplane flight, or other journey, when I actually sit down and look a little further than next week in my task list - so it would be nice to have the entire content there, not a stripped-down version of it. Outlook tasks can tell me what I need to do today; MLO can tell me what I really should be doing. It's clear Toodledoo won't stretch that far. And again - if Andrey decides to go for 'basic version first', then perhaps just the basic features are good enough to start with - leaving advanced stuff until a later version. D * Why? Because I don't use MLO enough, that's why! On Jul 10, 6:05 pm, jamesx4 <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, I'm in a similiar boat.
