Task

I just recently had a phone meltdown and had gotten lazy about backing up my info. Do you know the one app - more than photos, more than contacts that I lamented losing? Task!!! It keeps our family on track and keeps track of my failing mind. It literally saves the day at some point everyday! Keep on updating and making it compatible with newer phones but don't mess with it too much. It's simplicity is what makes it so great. It's the perfect nagging partner that is in your face about what needs to be done (that number of tasks left can be haunting, but in a productive way) and I love setting tasks up for the future, so things don't sneak up on me now like they used to. Thanks French people for making this app; it's simply the best!

How many "task managers" and to do apps have we all tried by now? Yup, I know..... The "Purchased" section of my App Store app is littered with them too. And depending on what I need to "manage", I use a happy few with some regularity. TASK is different. I use it every day. It puts simple order in my day. Perhaps because of the layout, you can clearly see your path ahead, as well as cast a look over your shoulder at what's gotten done already. But it's one-pointed. You can see the map of the territory ahead, and move into it. I don't know about anyone else, but the plan & order of my days and what I need to get done don't usually go along with the precision of an atomic clock. Stuff gets moved around, modified, put off a bit....sometimes..... TASK handles every hairpin turn so smoothly, so easily. With a few easy swipes or gestures it's all rearranged. No stress, no strain. Check a date (a cool accordion calendar unfolds), set a reminder with a couple of taps, make a crucial item stand out in bold type - one tap, edit or move items – tap, no problem. It's a pleasure to use, AND a powerful organizing tool. And you can even change the color scheme. No matter how complex at other levels, at it's heart, genius is always simplicity: the paring away of the extraneous to reveal the pure, simple line Nature had in mind for perfection. Hats off to the simple perfection of TASK.

I rarely review apps but I really like this app. It is very easy to use and simple. Lot of scheduling apps have too many functions and just setting the them for each task itself is quite time consuming. If you just list you tasks quickly so that you don't forget and you have a habit of going through your list daily, you will get so much accomplished with this. Ever since I started using this app, I never miss my must-to-dos. I Love it! (But if you need integrity with other scheduling apps or collaborate with others, this may not be good enough. It is great app to get your individual tasks done efficiently. )
