SwiftoDo for todo.txt

I've tried most EVERY to-do and task application in existence (click up, notion, microsoft to do, tick tick, google tasks, remember the milk, evernote, omnifocus and org-mode, to name a few), but, I keep coming back to this plain text swift to do app. I use some tricks to organize my tasks, gtd principles of course and even create an events calendar within the app.

Does what it says it will do. Need to be careful if adding/changing file offline. Check settings first. Update: Tried adding a new item and the app locked up. When app reopened after forcing it closed, I opted to keep the local file when prompted. The app replaced the Dropbox file with a completely blank file. :( Days of adding new tasks down the tube. I tried reinstalling SwiftToDo, but could not add a new record (kept hanging). Finally restarted iPhone, fixing the problem. My guess is that it was a Dropbox glitch. Don't know.

For an app whose sole job is to track your todos, SwiftoDo actually loses information. The app repeatedly forgets my settings. For the past month I’ve had it, it always resets the New Task Entry Mode setting to “Single,” despite my setting it to “Multiple.” Until now, this had just been an annoyance that, although frustrating, didn’t affect my todo list. Today, however, I noticed it stopped syncing with my Dropbox. New tasks I entered since the last time it synced weren’t being saved to the cloud. After trying to refresh a few times, I checked the settings and discovered that the app had forgotten my sync settings completely! I proceeded to re-enter my syncing information. I then checked my todo list, and to my horror I found that my iPhone’s copy of the list had been completely replaced with the out-of-date version from Dropbox. All the tasks I entered since the last sync (however long ago that was, I don’t know, since I don’t know when the app decided to forget my settings) were gone. Simply gone. For a paid app, this is unacceptable. Please get your act together.
