Yes, my experience is similar. There is some lag in most views, although its not a big deal (having about 500 tasks). MH is right: what is really missing on android: the quick reference look-up.
Good task programs on mobile phones should offer very quick filter. Nowadays we have the possibility to filter, but its not "saveable". Therefore thats very hard to achieve. Especially when you switch to different views. I like the idea, to have the very capable PC-MLO to work on my task list, and have the tasks with me on mobile. We know, that changing of context, of due date, and so on, is needing many touches on android, so entering on PC is great. The very best- and the killer argument for the PC version - would be having the customizeable views from PC on android. Well, this could be on a basis "those who want can get it, those who are happy with the buttons like now, have their version". But in the meantime we really need saveable filtered views, please. Its ok by now, if I need one extra touch to get a list of filtered views, then press the view I want. Thats customization I really hope for.
