Splendo ToDo List

The quest for a perfect for me task list app continues, this time I downloaded Splendo ToDO List to my phone and tablet. Let’s start with the list:

Needs:
Phone and tablet sync: you can sync through your gmail account, which allows for a seamless sync between phone and tablet. **extra** the use of the gmail address, also allows for use of Google task on your desktop, I’m really starting to find this extra a wonderful thing.**

Home page widget for quick access: the home page widget comes in 2 styles, one is just an icon with alerts; the other is a 2×2 list that can be expanded full screen if needed. I love the ability to scroll off the home page for a quick view of the tasks I have.

Recurring task feature: the recurring task feature is easy to use; with all the basic selections(daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Very important feature, not having this is a complete deal breaker.

Tasks and subtasks: tasks easy to set, no subtasks feature.

*Man, everytime one starts off strong, there is soon after a stumble.

Notes section on tasks/subtasks: no subtasks, so obviously no notes on them, but I find it weak that even tasks don’t have a note feature.

Alerts for priority tasks: Setting alerts for tasks is easy, you can set the phone to ring at a predetermined time, or alert you before the task is due. The drawback here is if I want task A to alert me 30 mins before with a specific ringtone, but task B to alert me 2hrs before the task is due with a basic alert sound, I can’t set this up, notification sound and time are universal to all tasks.

Email capability of tasks and reminders: No ability to have the APP send me a daily summary via email, or send alerts via email.

Extras:
Ability to change color of tasks: This app is about simplicity,  so no this is not a feature.

Clean UI: clean UI, simple setup, easy to sync.

In summary, I like the app, I got it up and running with ease, but it was lacking several key features, I am expecting in a task manager app, so I will continue my hunt, hopefully you enjoy it.
