The Lists section of Toodledo has finally been added to our iOS app. This new section will allow you to sync your existing Lists and make new lists. Also: + The Outlines section has been redesigned to be faster, prettier and easier to use. + The Habits section has been updated with various small bug fixes and some visual changes + Our Apple Watch app has been updated with bug fixes as well as support adding tasks. To add a task on Apple Watch, force tap the todo list and then use Siri to dictate your new task. http://www.toodledo.com/info/iphone.php If Toodledo helps you be more productive, please consider giving us a rating/review in the iTunes App Store. Even if you have rated us before, you can rate us again with each new update that we release. It really does help us to have good ratings.

Although - once again, when I'm sorting something like integers where there can be blanks, it would be wonderful if I could choose whether the blanks are at the top or bottom of the list. As I recall, this was a bit of a bugbear for me with regular tasks with dates.
Thomas R	Posted: Jul 14, 2015 Score: 1 Reference Thomas R Posted: Jul 14, 2015 Score: 1 Reference Column widths do not display as set on the web. Have a first (checkbox) and second (text) column set to 50 px and 300 px, respectively. Both show at 50% screen width on iOS (iPhone 5S and iPad) in landscape as well as portrait mode. A check/uncheck all button similar to outlines would be a great addition. Other than that, lists look quite good on iOS. This message was edited Jul 14, 2015.

The compromise that we had to make was to show the first 3 columns at equal widths (33%). If you have 2 columns they will be 50% width each. This was how we got it to work at mobile sizes. You can tap on a row to show all the columns.

Thomas R	Posted: Jul 15, 2015 Score: 2 Reference Thomas R Posted: Jul 15, 2015 Score: 2 Reference @Jake: re column widths I clearly didn’t express myself correctly. Sorry about that. I wasn't referring to "show all the columns at their full widths” but rather to displaying different widths on a per-column basis. In the above example a checkbox column of 50% screen width eats up a lot of unnecessary (for its purpose) screen estate, and the remaining 50% for the text column therefore is very narrow. Perhaps column widths could be set by the user on the mobile device in pixels (much like in the web interface) or screen width percentage. Or a fixed width per type could be used (X pixels for checkboxes, Y pixels for date fields, etc.) The tap-to-see-all-columns approach in my mind is fine. Horizontal scrolling does not seem practical unless one could lock a header column. For the time being I’ll stick with single-level-outlines as checklists.

Richard.Colletti	Posted: Jul 15, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Richard.Colletti Posted: Jul 15, 2015 Score: 0 Reference With this change, on my iPhone app, the process of synchronization has changed as well. It takes 2 extra steps, and there is no longer a progress bar, so I have to wait until "Synchronizing" changes to "Sync", which takes much longer. Is this an error? It's a lot less convenient.
Jake Toodledo Founder	Posted: Jul 15, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Jake (Founder) Posted: Jul 15, 2015 Score: 0 Reference It sounds like you are using manual syncing. I highly recommend that you turn on automatic syncing. Then you won't have to think about it anymore. If you want to continue to sync manually, it is still done the same way. Tap on "Settings" then tap the "Sync" button. If you close the settings section you will see the progress bar. Because of a bug that we will fix in a future update, the progress bar doesn't show up in the settings section, even though it really is syncing. Go back to the tasks section and you'll see the progress bar.

Ann M	Posted: Jul 17, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Ann M Posted: Jul 17, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Thanks Jake I never thought of testing another file.You were correct, there was a bug in the file. The file I had copied into the text file was from OneNote so there must have been some weird characters preventing the import. Best,Ann The issue "bug" seems to be quotes and tabs it cannot read as such. This message was edited Jul 17, 2015.
harry_stavridis	Posted: Jul 18, 2015 Score: 0 Reference harry_stavridis Posted: Jul 18, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Is there a way to back up Lists, like you can do right now for Tasks and Notebooks?
Jake Toodledo Founder	Posted: Jul 20, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Jake (Founder) Posted: Jul 20, 2015 Score: 0 Reference Yes, the "Backup" option in our tools section will backup everything. If you want to backup individual lists you can use the export option in the menu on that individual list.
thereinhardts	Posted: Oct 03, 2015 Score: 1 Reference thereinhardts Posted: Oct 03, 2015 Score: 1 Reference You mentioned that on the mobile app the first 3 columns are displayed at equal widths (33%),no matter how what width they were given in the web app. Perhaps the following mobile app display guidelines for Lists would be more readable: Assume that checkbox columns can be a minimum width compared to the other columns. That would prevent the blank area currently around checkboxes currently from taking up precious screen space. Or make the checkbox width only as wide as the column's title. Consider making the widths of other columns you display on the main screen proportional to widths assigned in the web app. Using a simple shopping list as an example, if the column widths for the first three columns are 50 pixels, 200 pixels and 100 pixels in the web app, then on the mobile device assign column widths matching the ratio of 1:4:2. Just a suggestion to make Lists more readable on mobile apps. Thanks. This message was edited Oct 03, 2015.

Martys To Do	Posted: Oct 05, 2015 Score: 1 Reference Martys To Do Posted: Oct 05, 2015 Score: 1 Reference Also, for the iOS app, I use it for grocery lists, and because it synchronizes every time I open the screen , it keeps jumping back to the opening screen for the lists. This makes it very inconvenient for this use. Would it be possible for the app to stay on the list while it synchronizes.
