Action Lists doesn't do Toodledo subtasks. Sorry. It will let you nest projects, but not tasks. Also, in the interests of full disclosure, projects are synchronized to Toodledo as folders which aren't nestable on the Toodledo side, so any nested projects in Action Lists will appear as a flat structure on Toodledo. P.S. This is c.e.perry, btw. I forgot that I was logged in under my test account. This message was edited Jan 22, 2010. |

I've been notified that version 2.1.0 of Action Lists has been accepted by Apple. It should appear in the App Store within the day. Version 2.1.0 adds some new features and fixes some bugs.
These changes are included in version 2.1.0: * Added a Quick Task screen that makes it easy to quickly add several tasks at a time. * Added the ability to convert a task to a project. This is intended to be used primarily for Inbox items. Upon review, it might become apparent that an entered task should instead be a project. This feature is meant to make that more seamless. * Added a small icon to task cells in lists to indicate if the task has a note assigned to it. * Changed all "Add" icons (with a plus sign) to "Compose" icons, to make them clearly differentiated from the new Quick Task feature. * Changed all "Save" buttons to "Done" buttons to make them consistent with keyboard Done buttons. * Polished the interface. Table rows text now display as white text on a blue background (as suggested by the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines). Changed all table row icons to display as white when highlighted. * Improved checkbox interaction. Increased landing area for checkbox taps, and added a glow around selected checkboxes. * Fixed a rare crashing bug. * Fixed a few other minor bugs.

Posted Apr 27, 2009 in: Action Lists: GTD/Toodledo iPhone app
Score: 0
Action Lists (App Store link) is a new task manager for the iPhone and iPod Touch that synchronizes with Toodledo and is based on the Getting Things Done (GTD) system popularized by David Allen. Action Lists harnesses the power of the GTD system with an easy to use interface that makes it fast to access the information you need when you need it. If you're not already familiar with the Getting Things Done system, you can check out the GTD Wikipedia article for a quick primer.
Action Lists is an app that was designed to be used on the go. Lots of little details help users "get things done." For example, the tab bar at the bottom of the screen contains all of your essential GTD lists and makes it convenient to access them without having to navigate back to a "root" screen to switch lists. Also, the context lists (or "action lists") filter the tasks that are displayed so that only tasks with a status of "Next Action" appear. This keeps you from staring at a host of Someday/Maybe tasks when you're hunting for something to work on in the five minutes before a meeting. Action Lists has all the features you'd expect from a fully featured todo app including support for due dates, future tasks (set through a task's start date), repeating tasks, and task notes, but it's the details that make this an app worth using. Scheduling repeating tasks is flexible: tasks can be set to repeat every Monday, the last Tuesday of every month, or every three months. Never forget trash day or that furnace filter again! Of special note is the way that Action Lists handles future tasks. By default, a task is hidden if it has a start date in the future. That's great until the start date is reached. Most todo apps would silently slip the task into the appropriate list when its due to be started, but then the task is easy to miss. Action Lists allows the user to specify that tasks be placed in the inbox when their start date is reached. This increases the visibility of tasks that are due to be started, and is consistent with the "tickler file" described in Getting Things Done. Having your tasks always with you on your iPhone is great, but sometimes its nice to enter your tasks using a full keyboard and a computer. Since Action Lists will synchronize over the air with your Toodledo account, that's not a problem. Through Toodledo, the tasks that you enter into Action Lists can be viewed, modified, completed and shared with others. And tasks that are entered into Toodledo through it's web interface (or through one of its many service connections -- like Jott) can be synchronized back to Action Lists so that they are always at your fingertips, whether in a business meeting with an Internet connection, or on a flight with your device in Airplane Mode. All in all, Action lists is a great app if Getting Things Done is your todo system of choice. Action Lists is available for download on the App Store at a price of $9.99. If you would like to try before you buy, there's also a free version called Action Lists Lite (App Store link). Action Lists Lite has all the features of the full version, but is limited to only 15 tasks. For full details and support, visit Daze End Software. |
