Customer Reviews
Really nice UI, but Toodledo synchronization is crippled
There are so many to-do related products available, it took me a while to finally decide upon Ultimate Todos. I knew I wanted to buy an app that synched with a service (for back-up purposes mostly but also so I could add tasks from my laptop), so I started by checking out the services first. After deciding that Toodledo seems to have the most flexible feature set, I set out to find the best iPhone app that works with Toodledo. I researched three -- Toodledo's own native iPhone app, Appigo's Todo app, and this one (the UT app). After way too much time debating, I chose this one for few key reasons: (1) it appeared to me to have the most pleasing UI design (fonts, icons, good flow, well laid out, etc.), (2) it didn't try to "force" the user into using Toodledo's Folder feature as the primary organizational paradigm (the way Appigo's Todo app does), and (3) it made the use of Tags and Contexts be central and fun with the assignment and use of well designed icons.
I started playing with it, and all seemed OK until I tried to synch with Toodledo. Ouch. I found a few problems, including what appears to be a couple fundamental design inconsistencies between the UT app and the Toodledo service that seem like they may be difficult to rectify:
1. A task I created with the Toodledo web app with a Tag assigned showed up on the iPhone but without any Tag
2. An item created on the iPhone and assigned two Contexts there showed up in the Toodledo web app as having only the first Context
3. An item created on the iPhone with a Tag showed up in the Toodledo web app without a "real" Tag BUT there was a Toodledo -Folder- created with the name of the Tag
4. An item created on the iPhone with two tags caused two Folders to be created in the Toodledo web app, but the item did not appear in the second Folder
5. An item created on the iPhone with no context and edited within the Toodledo web app to add a context showed up without a Context on the iPhone after synching
Unfortunately, I think the problems may be hard to rectify without some key changes. The root of the issue appears to be that Ultimate Todos is mapping Tags in the iPhone app to Folders on the service side. This is troublesome because Toododo does not allow a task to be in more than one Folder. And of course you need to able to apply multiple tags to an item. Also, it appears the Toodledo service only allows a task to appear in one Context. While I agree that this seems to be a poor design decision on their part (I'd really like to have the ability to put a task in multiple Contexts), this limitation does cause a major problem for the UT app's ability to synchronize properly.
So, while I still think the UT app has the best UI, if you want to use Contexts and/or Tags and be able to synchronize with, and create and edit tasks on, the Toodledo's web service, you probably will not be able to use this app as-is. I really hope the folks at MMDESOFT can figure this one out and fix it so that I can go back to using this app.
One final nit that echoes another reviewer comment: having both a "read-only" (i.e., initial Task Details) screen and an editable (i.e., second Task Details) screen doesn't seem necessary. It adds wasted finger-strokes by requiring the user to Click on "Edit" AND (much more annoying) requiring the user to remember to click on the "Save" button when coming back out of changing an attribute. My two-cents on this for the MMDESOFT UI designer: having to click on "Save" here is unnecessary from a UI flow perspective -- when something is changed by the user, it should be "saved" into the task immediately and automatically. I really like the look of the initial Task Details screen; I think it would be relatively simple to eliminate the second (edit) Task Details screen. This could be done by changing the initial Task Details screen: (1) move the star control (and maybe the done-box control to their own line, (2) split the Status and Priority items into two lines, (3) place the ">" controls right there on the initial page, and (4) remove the darn "Edit" button. That would make editing existing tasks SO much more efficient.
Can't set time.
Why doesn't somebody not only have the due date but also the time it is due? I need it to function like outlook, set the due date and the time it is due. Also when it pops up to have the ability to choose to snooze anywhere from 5min to 5hrs. Sometimes iam busy when the reminder goes off and can't get to the task so it is great to be able to snooze.
Also none of these todo programs actually pop-up and make a sound to remind you.
If you guys could do this I'll bet everyone would buy your program.
If there is no time setting, pop-up and sound to let you know what is the point of all these todo/tasks programs!
I just waisted another $5.00!!!!
The best "to do" app
I've taken a look at all the other "to do" apps for the iPhone and this one is very well organized and nice way of keeping track of things. It would be nice if it had more icons to choose from. Besides this toodledo comes second after this one. 5 stars hands down :)
