Google Tasks: Get Things Done

Excellent App

As a person with an organizing personality, I love this app! I have been using it for years and I love that I can make a list for whatever I need, arrange list items however I like, add dates and times each task needs to be completed, put items on repeat (for those weekly or monthly chores 😉), add a description to the item if I want to, and the many other features. The only thing that I dislike is that you can’t rearrange the actual list order. Unfortunately, once the lists are made, they are static. If you want to rearrange your lists, you have to delete them and re-create them in the order you now want them in, which can be a bit frustrating. Over allthough, excellent app that I definitely recommend.

Like everything but can’t create subtasks and repeat a task at same time

Hi Developers, I am a fellow ADHD chick and I like breaking down tasks that are daily and I try to do that here and create subtasks like for looking after animals or cleaning kitchen but can’t seem to repeat daily and create subtasks at same time is there a way you can do that and make it where we can repeat reoccurring tasks it helps me with reminders here just wish the events could be checked off and not be a actual event if you were wanting to time block and beable to check the task off without creating a actual event. Not sure if yall can do that to where I can put them as tasks for period of time almost like an event but able to be checked off and have color coding as well like events. All in all this is a great task app and love google calendar just want to make the tasks sometimes in a time frame for time blocking and have different colors along with reoccurring tasks flair subtasks together like I mentioned above I’d appreciate it so much and it would make google calendar even more valuable to me than it is now for simple reminders and tasks and events. There’s no other calendar like google calendar. I like it more than the iPhone calendar honestly.

Better than others

I tried two competing programs before this one, and neither could successfully do recurring tasks the way I needed them to. This program accomplishes this mostly without incident; occasionally a task appears in Google calendar twice for the same day. The solution is to open the task, change to a different day then back again, save changes, and presto issue is solved. I hope they fix that glitch soon. I would appreciate the ability to select different colors for different groups of tasks to make it easier to differentiate them in Google calendar; right now I need to identify the group in the task description which feels like a chore, but it’s workable. Performing complicated recurrence patterns requires jumping through some hoops but it is possible. I appreciate that all tasks can have a start and end date. The tasks app attempts to show which tasks are for today, which honestly it shouldn’t even bother to do, as it doesn’t successfully convey that you have only completed one instance of a recurring task. Really this app and Google calendar should come bundled together into one product. I’m sure Google realizes this too. Hopefully they will combine them in the future.
