I've updated to iOS 6 and the new Toodledo. I'm playing around with syncing with the iphone Reminders. In the settings, i've turned this ON. I want to turn on the "delete after import". I turn it ON, but when i leave the settings, it defaults back to OFF. This results in syncing the same reminders every time i open toodledo. Am I doing something wring?

Thanks!

This version was rushed because of Apple's tight deadlines for iPhone 5. I guess we missed this bug. We are working hard to get everything working.

I wanted to add that Toodledo doesn't seem to import times from reminders you make with Siri. For example, if I said to Siri, "Remind me to walk the dog tomorrow at 5PM," it would create the reminder with a time of 5PM (and I have confirmed this by opening the Reminders app), but when it is imported into Toodledo, the 5PM time is nowhere to be found. It would be great to have it import that time into the "Due Time" field.

Is there a way to choose which folder reminders are imported to? I'd like them to go into my default inbox.

Really all I want is to use Siri to add Toodledo tasks. I could not care less about iOS reminders. As it is, things work (other than the bug above), but they end up in a "Reminders" folder and not in my general inbox folder.

I'm also wondering if it works in reverse? If I add something to the Reminders folder in Toodledo's web app will it put it into Reminders on my phone when I open the Toodledo app on the phone? Could be useful.

It is a one-direction sync at the moment. We figured that if people are using Toodledo, they probably aren't using Reminders except as a conduit for Siri or for migrating from Reminders to Toodledo. Can you please explain why you would want to use both Toodledo and Reminders at the same time?

Reminders can connect to Outlook Tasks through Exchange Server. (A simple choice when setting up an Exchange Server email account on iOS devices.)

Having Toodledo sync with Reminders means that Toodledo would sync with Outlook Tasks for anyone in a corporate environment that uses Exchange Server.

Purveyor's reason is a good one. I was thinking more of being reminded of things I need to do when I open my MacBook. Sort of a location based thing only in this instance the location happens to just be the computer (or hand held) that I'm using at the time. I currently just load Toodledo in Safari for that purpose.

Thanks for this feature. The voice input (Siri reminder) is really helpful when I'm in the car and I want to get a task into Toodledo.

Right now when Toodledo syncs reminder tasks it does so in Low priority (even when my default priority is set to Top). Reason I would like it to import as Top priority is because as soon as I get to work I want to see the task so I can set it to proper priority.

Hope the default priority can be set for Reminder -> Toodledo sync items. Thanks again!

You can view your Recently Entered tasks here: https://www.toodledo.com/tasks/index.php#main_1 and then make the necessary changes.

I am trying to use Siri to add tasks to my Toodledo account and cannot get it to work. I set the Reminders Syncing to on and Delete After Import (also tried it with that setting = off) to no avail. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to make it work? [iPhone 5] Thanks.

Hello again, when I create a task with Siri with a due date of the next day, it refuses to show up in my Hotlist even though my settings are for everything within the next 7 days to show up.

I have ensured that there are no settings checked on the task that would push it out of my hotlist, and it is identical to another task that was input manually that is showing up correctly in the hotlist (except in title of course).

I went as far as to record the settings for the task created with Siri and to duplicate it manually and the manual task shows up fine in the hotlist with the exact same settings. Any ideas? Thanks!

I wantto echo this request. I use toodledo for all my taks - reminders for daily would be great to selectively choose items to move to reminders ir to toodledo. E.g. Perhaps export "hot list" to reminders.
