Firetask | Task List & Planner for Android

I use this for school and it's great! You get kanban, projects, categories, tasks, due dates, reminders, contributors (assigned-to's), notes, sub-checklist, inbox, scratchpad area. This is a great tool for managing small or short-lived projects such as school projects. I love it, thank you.

Disappointed in that this update did not address any of my "cons". Tried to see the new kanban view types and could not see that with categories. Previous review Pros: 1. iCloud sync (keep your data private) is flawless! 2. Highly customizable 3. Kanban 4. Stable (never lost data with years of use) 5. Good documentation 6. Detail sidebar with actions lists (subtasks), notes and attachments for every note. 7. Nice project details. Cons: 1. Tasks in the Kanban view need to display an icon if the task has a note, and display the number of total subtasks and how many done (like 0/8 or 1/4, ..). This is really important to me; Kanban is the only view I use. 2. If you are in any other view, all subtasks (called here actions) are displayed under the task increasing the size the task occupies in the view area. A simple count of done over total tasks is enough, or make the subtasks list collapsible. We can always see these subtasks in the “actions” tab in the “Detail Sidebar”.

I use this daily as a better todo manager but i feel like its got way more capabilities. Needs a training piece to walk you through all of the features so you use them fully. Still, ive bought other todo apps. This one lets you group by project. Its all i need so i can see my statuses at a glance and shift things around easily. Please make a better training piece to this or an expanded easy step by step with examples PDF manual. And keep developing it! Thanks

I'm frustated, to say the least. I just LOOOOOVE throwing money away on something that doesn't work in the way you want it to. I bought this mainly for the Kanban feature which is stagnant—you can't change the categories. I gave it an extra star because the app seems great, it just can't do what I need it to... I just love wasting money.

I used the earlier Firetask before, and really loved it. Its organization model fit exactly what I wanted. After just upgrading to Firetask Pro, I'm finding it too limiting. Worst offender is the inability to reorder Projects — absolute dealbreaker. According to documentation, the decision is intentional — but it's imo the wrong call: "Since projects can also be grouped by "Portfolios" (one level of project folders), we decided that we do not want to allow manual reordering for projects; instead, projects are automatically ordered alphabetically." If this by-design "feature" is changed, I'd consider giving it another go.
