Google Tasks on iOS

The encryption is identical in all versions of the app, I need to change the app description.

The two GeeTasks versions have always been advertised and will keep working as follows:

1. Std - regular gmail accounts only.
2. Pro - both gmail and Google Apps accounts.

Now due to Google's changes with "full account" GeeTasks temporarily worked with transitioned Google Apps account. That was a bug and it will be fixed in today's update to GeeTasks.

In addition the Pro version now has an extra feature "view tasks from all lists", and going forward new major features will be free to Pro version and paid upgrades to Std version. Bug fixes and minor improvements will be free to both.

Hi Molly. Pro could always do what standard version can, so Pro supports both Google Apps and Gmail-type accounts.

As of now, Pro also has "All tasks from all lists in a single pseudo-list" feature, which other versions of GeeTasks lack. Moreover, going forward, Pro will have all the new features added for free, while the regular version will only have them as paid add-ons. I have attempted to summarize the difference in the table at the top of the page here: http://www.geetasks.com/

So, you can go ahead and purchase Pro right now if you want it. Or you can wait a couple of months - I was going to add upgrade option from within standard version, so you would be able get the Pro at the difference in price.

I'm in Seattle too, it's great to meet someone who lives close by. Shoot me an email, maybe we could chat about how you use GeeTasks.

Hey, guys, I appreciate the support, and it would be even better if we could all keep it civil. Please? :)

Some people don't like paying for what they use, and I try to stay away from them.

Personally, I prefer to pay for my apps, because it feels right to reward the good work I got to enjoy, and to promote future improvements. Given the high volumes of iPhone apps, even small contributions add up enough to make a difference for the developer, and I just like making the right kind of difference, especially when it doesn't take much away from me.

I also prefer to deal with people who are like me, and in that I am truly lucky to have y'all as my customers. :)

Hi Sergiy.

Google Apps is a special account type from Google, it's like gmail but for businesses. Hence why I charge more for it - presumably people use those things for business and can justify the extra cost, while personal users may not be able to.

I completely agree with you that paying $6 to add "All Tasks" super-list is unfair, and that is not how it was meant to be and I am taking steps to make it fair.

Those who require Google Apps (and you are not one of them, or you would know for sure) should only pay amount close to the difference in price to upgrade from GeeTasks to GeeTasksPro, not the whole price. In fact, this piece is already in place - if a person purchases GeeTasks but later discovers they need Google Apps they will be offered "GeeTasksPro" upgrade for the difference in price (minus one cent:-). Alas, the upgrade dialog is not yet shown to people who don't need Google Apps, so you couldn't use it.

If a person doesn't need Google Apps but wants other perks from "Pro", they should only pay a portion of the $3 price difference, and certainly not $6 that you paid. And there should be a free trial for everything, so you can skip paying if you didn't like it enough to justify the price. And I am almost done with changes to make all of this possible. There is also already a "Lite" version which I plan to expand a bit.

I wish I could make it up to you for the double purchase you had no need for. Alas, I can't undo any of the payments - they are in the Apple's hands. How about you send me an email, and I will give you some free promo codes for GeeTasks? You couldn't use them yourself, but you may gift it to someone else…

(all numbers in this post are based on current prices, those numbers should get adjusted proportionally if the prices go up or down).

I also want to add that paying customers should not feel the need to apologize for any criticism that is politely worded, including criticism of prices. People who show their willingness to pay for my work are the people whose opinion I value a lot.
