A few notes:

  1. To use on the desktop I suggest checking out this "canvas" view. You will absolutely love it: https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas
  2. When using GeeTasks you can reduce the cell size and font size if that makes your life better, like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK2VtYdpQG8
  3. If you flip your iPad upside-down you will also be able to get the bottom bar to scroll out of view when there are too many tasks to fit on screen.

Now about sorting:

First, have you considered creating a separate task list for each client?
Second, you say that you wish to have the top-level tasks (headings) sorted. Do you also need the next-level tasks (sub-tasks) sorted among themselves, or only the top-level tasks?

For request #2 - press "edit" button and then find "purge" button at the bottom-left corner. :)

For request #1 you have a point there… Currently the title of the task is in bold and it runs several lines if there is enough space (you can change the cell size by using vertical pinch/squeeze gesture, and font size with horizontal gesture), and the description takes one line in thin, smaller font. Now that you mentioned it, it looks sort of backwards - the title should be one bold line, and the description should be several lines of thin text, unless there is no description in which case the entire title should take whole space. Hm. Let me think of that.

  1. Make sure the button at the bottom-left says "sort:none" by pressing it a few times until it does. Tasks can be either ordered naturally, or sorted, and for indent to work they can't be sorted.
  2. Press "edit" button at the top-right
  3. Press you finger into a task and slide it right or left. The task will become indented / un-indented.

Does this help?

I am a registered users, and various pieces of the functionality is in other Google Task managers. I prefer geeTasks though :-)

  1. In addition / rather than changing font size by squishing finger motion, use a thin (not bold) font, and fully scroll the entire text of the task subject. For people that use the GTD methodology, you have lots of long titles. Squishing doesn't help
  2. Add a button that "purges" completed tasks - i.e., deletes them locally and on the server

Thanks!

ButI am an attorney. and I organize tasks by client name. So when I have my brainstorming sessions (with myself) for each case, I am entering in maybe 5 to 12 cases at a time. then I use the last name to start each actual task…in case I "disorganize" the list somehow….and indent the task to the parent name. It would be nice at the conclusion of the brainstorming to 'hit a switch' and have the parent tasks a-z. having the subordinate tasks follow the parent task releives the necessity of that sorting somewhat. For task organization I only use the IPad because the google task igoogle and the 'work in progress' google task only for the computer are so small as to be unusable. The smartphone screen size is to small to use as a work area (for old timer me at least)…it is usful as a check when I am in a store or if my IPad is unaccessable… … your program…is what I use because it is accessable on all devices… including my part-time secretary's computer. … I have checked may of the other programs / apps that claim to do what this program does…and this has the largest working IPad screen … also, the email and calendar intrigration are not important to me…because the consistent relaibilty / usabillity / accessibility are the most important… coloring of tasks would be nice…and is something I could use to designate urgency of task completion….assignment to my secretary or to me..waiting for responce..etc.

What exactly would you like to see? Tasks sorted only within their parent task, among siblings?

This is why I am trying to use your fine app for task organization on my Ipad/android. (Being able to access the tasks for instance when I have a bright idea while watching t v gives me a fighting chance of keeping the list up to date and active and useful.) I have case names and then I am having indented tasks under them. Is there a way to a-z other than by hand, the unindented headings/tasks?

thank you,

If this feature is already available, I haven't found it… It would be nice to be able to uncheck all items in a list. For example, I have a packing list that I use every time I travel. It would be nice to be able to "reset" the task list by unchecking all items in the list so it's ready to use the next time I need to pack. Thanks!

Other goggle tasks apps already have it, and I find I use notification center for everything, except tasks, so it's a bit of a problem. Thx.

When the error message pops up it should have a "Don't show this again" button. Press this button, and you won't see the message again.
If this does not work for you for some reason, please send an email to support, so I can take a closer look.

Is this the situation where you're sharing the iPad within the family? Or is it because you want to give the phone to others, but don't want them to see your tasks?
