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!

thank you,

1. Open the details of a task

2. Tap "Belongs to List" and a new window comes up with the title of the task as the window title and I choose the list that I want to move the task to

3. A new window comes up with the name of the task as the title for the window, but this time it's the task list that is the content - that's the first strange part - I would have expected the name of the list to be the title - no biggie. Also, the back button is labelled with the title of the LIST that it happens to be displaying.

4. Tapping that back button does not change the list on screen, but just changes the title of the screen to the actual list title, and also changes the label in the back button to now read "Lists".

I noticed this a few times and just assumed I perhaps didn't actually tap the back button. Today, I moved about 6 tasks though, and noticed what was going on, only because I had to tap the back button about 6 times to actually get back to the "Lists" screen. Each time I tapped back, I had the same list as the window content, but the title would change to each of the task names that I had just moved. Everything moved OK, so it's really not a big problem, but I thought perhaps others could confirm this behavior.

Checking through forums I read about the swipe left option, so I'm going to give that a try and perhaps not look back :)

Can you remove the effect and just display the list immediately? Thanks!

Here is another thing in my wishlist (the previous one was being able to duplicate a list).

I don't know if this can be done with the iPhone dev kit, but I would like to be able to fold/unfold a subtasks list, i.e. the tasks that are demoted one level under another task in the tasks list.

I was used to do this in ThoughtMgr (ok, not really a tasks list but could be used as such) in PalmOS; I miss the app, even if GeeTasks is the iPhone app that comes closest…

Thanx!

Any chance of adding these to geetasks?

I have a number of "template" tasks lists that I use to copy to make instances that I really use. Typically, check-list of things to take with me for a trip, or to check before flying an aircraft, …

I am desperately seeking a way of doing "copy/duplicate list", either in the Google native environment, or with a dedicated app (as Geetasks which I use).
(the simplest way I found to do this is use "email task" in the Google environment, then copy/paste the text to instert it in a newly created list, but it's painful and doesn't' preserve tasks indentations …)

If such a function could be added to Geetasks, I would be very grateful (and likely more people would be so, as this was required in some Google poll that I don't find any more).

Best regards,
Fred.

Google released the new tasks API and promised to break the old API by the end of the month. This release of GeeTasks uses the new, official API.

Installation instructions:
Take this IPA file, drop it into iTunes, and sync iTunes with your iDevice. Unlike in the past, the provisining profile is no longer needed.
OR
Click this link directly from the iDevice and confirm your intent.

Note that you must be registered with me for the Beta program, or else it won't work. Problems? Send me an email with the UDID of the device you were installing onto.
Now accepting more Beta users! Please send email with your device ID (UDID).

What's new:
Google promised to pull the plug on the old API on Aug 31st, so GeeTasks neews to be updated to use the new API.
All-in-all, the new API is a step back in functionality - it does not support "related mail", it does not allow checking for changes quickly (checking all lists individually is now required, which makes the app somewhat slower), and it does not allow moving tasks from one list to the next. To rectify the latter problem I made GeeTasks delete the task in the old list and create an identical copy in the new list when syncing, which works ok, except that you lose the creation date and the "related mail" link.
On the bright side, the new API is officially supported, so there are fewer quirks in it, and I will spend less time debugging the problems in the unofficial API.

UPDATE 1:

Fix crash when a request is cancelled.

UPDATE 2:

Beta 42-4.

UPDATE 3:

Beta 42-6.

UPDATE 4:

Beta 44-2. Finalizing Google Tasks API.

UPDATE 4:

Beta 44-3. It's done! Ready to push to Apple.

However, my husband just complained to me that when ever he wants to sync his lists (he does it manually to save battery life), his screen says it is syncing and will freeze for several minutes. I thought he was exaggerating, but he is not. Even just entering the app, it takes about 30 seconds before he can do anything.

I am not sure what the problem is. He does not ever purge his lists because he wants records of what he has already done and keeps many, many lists. (He manages a group of doctors) I suggested to him that maybe having so much information could be the problem. He also has an iPhone 3GS (not a 4 like I do) so perhaps it is slower??

Either way, I was trying to help him figure out the problem. I did just run the latest updates to his iPhone, but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

(FYI: My husband is not techy at all, so I figure things out and then "help" him with our devices. I'm not that techy either, but much more so than him and I enjoy figuring stuff out—in case you wondered why I was the one asking the questions about HIS phone.)

Thanks!

Are there release notes for the various updates? I'm at 1.35 and have no issues. Don't like to update unless I know what I'm getting.
