Frequently Asked Questions
- How do repeating tasks work?
- When a task repeats, the due date will be moved forward by the selected amount of time.
The options that can be selected are:
None: Do not repeat this task
Daily: The task will repeat every day
Weekly: The task will repeat on the same day of each week
Every 2 weeks: The task will be repeated on every second week
Every (?) Days/Weeks/Months: Select a custom frequency using days, weeks or months
On days of the week: Select which days of the week the task will be repeated on
A task will repeat itself when it is completed. A new duplicate task is created with a new due date. The new due date on the duplicate task will be set based on either the date the original task was completed or the due date of the original task.
Note: A task that does not have a due date will be repeated based on the completed date.
Examples:
a) A task with a due date of the 3rd of September is set to repeat every five days using the due-date. The task is completed on the 1st of September. A new duplicate task is then created with a due date of the 8th of September.
b) A task with a due date of the 12th of August is set to repeat every three days using the completed date. The task is completed on the 14th of August. A new duplicate task is then created with a due date of the 17th of August.
c) A task with no due date is set to repeat every two days using the due date. The task is completed on the 19th of November. As there is no due date on the original task, the new duplicate task is created with a due date of the 21st of November. - How to send crash reports to us?
- 1. Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes
2. Right-click (Windows) or control-click (Mac) on your iPad under devices
3. Click ‘Reset Warnings’
4. Sync your iPad
When iTunes prompts you to send diagnostic and usage information to Apple, select No (disagree)
The crash reports are now saved on your computer, the directory they are in depends on the platform, the directory is:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\
Windows Vista or 7: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\
Attach the Manage crash reports (prefixed by the word ‘Manage’) to an email and send them to us at manage@kerofrog.com.au - How to use Backup and Restore?
- Images help with this explanation :).
Please visit the Backup & Restore help article for a complete guide.

- Sub tasks not being indented beneath the parent task?
- This is caused by the type of 'sort' currently selected. Switching back to 'List' sort will cause sub tasks to once again be indented under their parent task.
I chose this route as I wanted high priority items to always appear at the top of the ‘priority’ sorting list, rather than being stuck tabbed behind a non-priority parent task.
Am currently looking at a possible 'middle ground' solution to this.. will update in future. :) - What is a tag?
- A tag is a keyword or phrase that helps describe a task. You can use this tag for separating tasks into types like 'Work' and 'Home' or you could use tags to keep track of the current status of your tasks.
A task can have as many or little tags as you like.
Tags can be edited from the settings menu on the top right hand side of the Navigation Bar. - Will there be an iPhone version of Manage?
- Yes, there will be.
It's a bit of a balancing act though, I have to reach a certain point in the iPad version that I'm completely happy with before commencing work on the iPhone version. It's worth checking out the 'In Development' and 'Planned Updates' section on the website to see what's coming, and of course to follow us as I will definitely be announcing it when I start work on the iPhone version :).
I absolutely LOVE your iPad app. It does everything I need it to do, it’s simple and has an attractive interface. I was just wondering if you have developed or are in the process of developing a sync-able version of this app for my MacBook. Or, if you could suggest an available app (non-iOS) that syncs well with Manage I’d appreciate that as well.
Thanks!
Allyson LeBas
We aren’t working on a sync-able version of Manage for the Mac OS just yet. Although this is planned
.
Manage will sync with Toodledo, which can be run on any computer with an internet connection.
We are currently working on greatly improving the drawing portion of Manage and implementing a few more GTD-esque features. After that, I’m keen to get working on other sync options and new versions of Manage on other platforms.
I just got the app a few days ago. Was working fine, but now it won’t start. Crashes immediately, seemingly before even attempting to synch to Toodledo.
Thanks.
I was able to reproduce this once, but even after debugging, there was no specific cause. Best I can tell is that it’s due to low memory conditions, where Manage is unable to run due to lack of memory.
The fix for this is to restart the iPad, after which Manage will run correctly. (note: A few users have had to restart their iPad more than once, but in all cases, Manage was eventually running correctly again.)
Could I also please get a copy of the crash reports? (Also from anyone else that this might occur to)
I’d like to gather as much data as possible first, and then I plan to use up one of my support incidents with an Apple tech to see if they can help shed some light on this, and whether I can more eloquently handle it, rather than iOS closing down Manage.

Love the ability to annotate and highlight and the interface is beautiful. However, there are a few things I would like to see implemented:
1) Most important – some type of “today” view to only see tasks due today, plus past due, including an easy one-stroke way to check off the tasks as done (I realize you are developing a calendar option).
2) The badge for due and overdue appears to include anything with a due date, even if it’s way into the future. I think it should only be for those items due today plus past due.
3) recurring tasks don’t seem to recur properly if the task is checked off from the pocket minder
1) I’ve pushed calendar ahead of ‘Filters’ (and might not be doing filters in this next update), both of which would allow this type of feature. Calendars I’m working on this week, but I think I’ll at least get in some preset filters for the next update.
2) Erm.. yeah. I’m not using push notifications for ‘Badges’ so they aren’t always going to be 100% accurate as Manage needs to be opened for them to update. Which is on the feature request list as Alarms/Notifications (which require push notifications). Once I have alarms in then badges for due today plus past due are a possibility.
3) Thanks for that bug report! I’ve now fixed this in the beta version of the next update.
Shoot – that accidentally posted before I could finish and edit number 3… Ha ha. Anyway, hope the calendar option is implemented soon, as I think your app has the potential to be really fantastic!

I would love to be able to:
1) click on the title of the task list and choose to have the entire list repeat on a weekly or monthly basis, verses repeating individual tasks.
2). Allow manage to sync with evernote.
Thanks!
Wow, repeat the whole list. Interesting… Perhaps the only issue is that lists don’t have a due date. But let me put up both of these requests anyways and see what others think. Thanks Amy!
Been using the app for a week and I LOVE IT! It does exactly what I want it to do without over complicating things. THanks. General questions: the icon for the app shows a small red #2 similiar to what you see when there is an app that needs to be updated. When I launch the app, the Auto Sync message comes on (I have auto sync turned on) – it goes through a sync with no issues, but the number won’t go away. Any thoughts and thanks in advance. Again, love the app. I have gone through a number of Task Mgmt applications before landing on this one, wish I had known about it sooner.
Thanks for the feedback
, great to hear. In regards to that little badge, it’s there to show how many tasks are due or overdue. Hmm… useful to some, not so much to others. You can turn it off from within Manage. Just go to settings -> general settings and change your ‘Badge Notification’ settings to ‘No Badge’ to get rid of it.
Thank you so much!
Now that you’ve added Notebooks, adding a new list is no longer intuitive. You have to go to the panel, then select a list and then select the + button. It would be better if the + button everywhere applicable would enable you to add a Notebook OR a list
Mmmm…. thanks for that
. Damn good point. I’m working like mad to get this next drawing update out before iOS 5 release but I’m sure I’ve got time to squeeze that update in!
Like everyone else I really like the interface and the ability to handwrite my tasks is just great but how do I indent my sub tasks. They seem to be just listed underneath the parent entry. I’d be grateful for your help.
Thanks
Ans.
Been asked a few times, I’m going to add this to the FAQ. But basically this is down to the type of ‘sort’ you have selected. Just switch back to the ‘List’ sort and subtasks will once again be indented under their parent task.
I chose this route as I wanted high priority items to always appear at the top of the ‘priority’ sorting list, rather than being stuck tabbed behind a non-priority parent task. Hmm… maybe there is a middle ground here, I’ll investigate further
.
Thanks for the reply Cliff. I really appreciate it.
Ans.
I have purchased about a dozen task list/to do apps, but I am in love with this one. The interface is a blast – finally something with a unique and creative appearance. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
Thanks Shelby
. I love negative feedback as well as it points out where I can do better, but positive feedback gives me the juice to keep going. 
Just bought the app, looked good, set up one list & now it’s locked, turned unit on&off etc & it’s still locked. What can I do? Btw it’s installed on my ipad2
Sometimes turning off the iPad doesn’t cause multitasking apps to ‘restart’.. from what I have seen. My guess is that currently running multitasking apps are stored in memory before shutdown.
Try opening up the multitasking menu (double tap home button), and holding down the Manage icon so that it can be force shut down. Then try opening Manage again.
If that doesn’t work, contact me at cliff@kerofrog.com.au and I will investigate further.
Hi Cliff, just wondering when you expect to add alarms? It is the one feature that I really miss and would make my life easier. Apart from missing alarms, the app is absolutely the best of it’s kind in the app store. Thanks for all of your hard work.
This will happen when I’m able to bring on more staff. My current focus is doing everything possible to help make this happen. I’ve actually already written the code for alarms, but ended pulling it out as it wasn’t a good enough implementation, basically I needed Push-Notifications for alarms, and for this I needed a server. As soon as I can assign a staff member to Manage, is when a heap more updates can come out quicker
. Including Manage for iPhone.
Soo… timelines for this vary from end of this year to by mid next year. I’ll do my best to keep everyone up to date
.
Thanks for this apps and the possibilities it gives. I have now used it for a short time and now the functins well except the Archives function. Please inform me how I can manage to archive a list. Thanks.
Best regards.
Joergen Denmark
The process is to select ‘Archives’ and then you will have a button appear that will allow you to archive any completed tasks or lists.
Completed tasks can either be archived automatically, after a selected period has expired, or manually (which is the default option). Lists can be completed by selecting the checkmark next to the list title when opened
.
Hi Cliff. When I create a new list it always seems to be associated with just one notebook. How do I tell the list I just created that it belongs to a different notebook? Or how do I drag and drop a list from one notebook to another?
thanks
Springfield,IL,USA
Thanks Cliff, what we have so far is awesome….thanks again for all the great work.
Not sure if I chose the best implementation of this. But basically a list can be assigned to any number of notebooks. Just select a notebook, then select the ‘options’ icon under the notebook to select which lists are stored in there.
Hi Cliff,
Please tell me how Manage syncs with Outlook, PC version. I read your notes that it is done using Tooledo’s third party tools. Does this mean I have to purchase Tooledo? How similar is Tooledo to Manage?Also, I use a task list in Outlook created on my laptop. Is it possible to sync this task list to Manage?
Thank you for your help.
David
Toodledo is free
… well, unless you choose to go on their paid plan 
… But yeah, you can use it for free with Manage.
The way outlook syncing is done is via Manage -> Toodledo -> Chromatic Dragon -> Outlook. Bit of a daisy chain :O… but it works.
Thank you for your previous reply. How will the sync with Oulook impact tasks I have created in Outlook? When I sync tasks created with Manage how do they show up in Outlook, and do they integrate with Outlook tasks?
I just have a quick question. How do you write in the notebooks? I click on them and it doesn’t respond. Am I missing something here?
Yep. You are missing something
… you are missing that ‘Notebooks’ was a horrible name for me to use for what are essentially folders 
… lol… Had quite a few users get confused with that :S.
I’ve updated them to be called ‘folders’ in the next update (which is currently going through testing). Also in the next update is a much improved drawing implementation and the ability to create hand-written notes, which are essentially full screen pages for writing notes on. Useful for jotting down quick thoughts or just a quick handwritten todo list.
Hi,
I’ve been using Things as my to do list and recently found your app. I love that I can write in to dos since it is much faster. I’ve been using the notebooks feature and have a separate notebook for each client. Within the notebook I created two separate lists for the two main jobs for each client and then the list has tasks and subtasks. When I meet with a partner to review my workload, I would like to have my full list sorted first by client (notebook) then under each client have the respective to dos (even if many clients have the same to do tasks). I was able to do this in Things and it would be helpful in reviewing to be able to show where I am for each client. I would like to switch to your app for the handwriting capabilities and I’m hoping there is a way to show the tasks within each notebook.
Thanks!
Tara
Hmm… would you look at that, I didn’t make notebooks sortable. For some crazy reason I thought this might not be needed. I’ll fix that in the next release
.
Each notebook contains a list of ‘shortcuts’ to each list, so you could have the same list in multiple notebooks. Todo tasks can be replicated by ‘cloning’ lists, great to have ‘templates’ for this purpose. Hope that answers your question, as I might have misinterpreted it :S.
Oh yeah, next update is currently going through testing.. sooo close… and it’s a major update to the drawing features of Manage. Much smoother and more areas to write in
.
Is there a function that allows me to send emails over to this ap to track as tasks?
From email to Manage? I’m afraid not
.
The direction we are heading is an iPhone version for cloud syncing and our own web app which will act as an internet app and as a hub.
Cliff, I love your app!
Am I missing something obvious? I want to hide my completed tasks, but can’t seem to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?
Also, am I correct that the highlighted priorities don’t sync to Toodle do?
I am going to go write my first ever app store review…5 stars! Thank you from a list fanatic!
Thanks for the feedback
. It’s about to get a whole lot better too, just finalizing an update that I’m going to send to Apple later today.
Highlighted priorities do sync with Toodledo.
In regards to hiding completed tasks, this is generally what the archives is for. You can set your completed tasks to be automatically sent to archives 24 hours after they were completed, or you can set archiving to ‘manual’ (in settings), and send completed tasks to archives by just visiting the ‘Archives’ from the main screen.
All the best

How do I scale the Font
Regards
JCG
Sorry about that
. I haven’t put in a font scale option yet.
If you go to http://www.protaskinote.com/177/feature-requests/, you’ll see that font size options are number 6 on the list.
I’ll get them done as soon as possible!
I had downloaded your product and have been having problems when changing the themes. It seems to shut down and also does not allow for several functions to work as described. Willing to work around but will give some time to evaluate and wait for an answer.
Thank you
Sorry about that
. I know that I broke in-app purchases (premium themes) with the update, but aren’t aware of any other problems yet. Just waiting to get more info before I release a patch.
Could you please go over the functions that aren’t working as described so I can address them?
Thanks!
Is there a way to make tasks that were created on their own become a sub-task of another task? I see how to do this only when you create a new task, but not for existing tasks. This would be very helpful for organizing. Thanks!
Sorry Paul
. It’s one of the things I haven’t coded yet. I’ll add it to the todo list for the next update though 
.
I’ve started having problems since I updated to the most recent version. It usually crashes when I rotate to landscape mode. In fact, I usually have my iPad locked in landscape, but the app doesn’t recognize it and displays in portrait. When I unlock the rotation and try to go to landscape it crashes. Thanks for looking into this.
About one in every thousand users has been having some issues. My guess is that it might have something to do with the update not running correctly :S…. sorry about that
. I’m sending you a direct email so I can investigate this further for you. Until then, I’ll also be going through crash reports today to isolate these issues. If I can’t get in contact with you via your provided email, just contact me directly at cliff@kerofrog.com.au and I’ll sort this out for you.
Since the latest upgrade, Protaskinote crashes frequently – so frequently that it has become unusable to me. It loads and syncs OK but then crashes. On rare occasions it does not crash immediately but then does so when I switch from portrait to landscape view or vice versa. Please advise.
I’m having trouble loading app to view all my notes .
Once I tap the app, it starts loading then returns to my iPad main page
It’s the lastest version also.
Any idea it may be?
Happening to about one in every thousand users
. My guess is it has something to do with the update process not going through correctly. I’m sending you an email now so we can get this fixed for you. If I can’t reach you on the provided email, just email me at cliff@kerofrog.com.au and I’ll get this sorted for you. 
I love this app, but I loaded the new version this morning and now it crashes everytime I try and open it. I have tried turning the iPad off but no success.
Please help, I can no longer user use one of my favourite apps!
Ack, third person here!
… sorry about that. Just send me an email at cliff@kerofrog.com.au and I’ll get this sorted for you.
Any way to sync to-do items with Toodledo marked for other applications as “To-Do’s” or starred for things like toodledroid?? Trying to figure out a way to use Prokrastinote while on the go better.
Thanks – and I love this app!! One of my favs of all iPad apps!
Sorry Brent, not sure I understand the question :S.
This App is very good . But I would like to have more colours to draw ( yellow gray brown etc ) . I would like also to have more types of pen to write ( one less thick ). I would like to have the possibility to copy a hand write note from one list to the other and not just move it
The App crashes sometimes . It would be good also to sync with dropbox .
Thanks Henrique, I’ll add these to the list of features to consider
.
I would like also to have the possibility of add an attachement of photos or other files to the task
App crashes while attempting to purchase in app offers. I shut down appt and started again. It still crashes.
Thanks
Wow
… no need to comment that many times 
.
The crashing in in-app purchases was my bad
… I’ll push out a patch as soon as I can 
.
Hi. I am new to any of the iPad devices. Received ipad 2 for Xmas and my first app is yours. I can’t figure out how to use it. Not your fault, mine. Anyway how do I get out of archives? It is stuck there with no links to get out of it, I tried turning it on and off but it still opens to the archive page? Any suggestion? Or a begginers manual? Thanks, I think I will love the app once I figure out how to use it.
Congratz
… I woulda loved an iPad 2 for Christmas! 
…
To get out of archives – press the ‘archives’ button on the bottom left (the image of the open archive drawer).
If your in portrait mode, use the top left button that says ‘panel’, and the left panel will show itself, from which you can then tap on the archive drawer to leave archives.
Thanks for your fast reply, it works now. Thank you. Yes I am very happy I got an iPad for Christmas. Happy New year to you!
Is it possible to sync this app with Microsoft outlook via active sync (I use outlook via my work’s network server). If not…any ideas?
Really depends on whether Chromatic Dragon allows active sync – http://www.chromadrake.com
The way syncing with outlook works is Protaskinote < -> Toodledo < -> Chromatic Dragon < -> Outlook.
I also just got an iPad 2 days ago (Yay!) and after hours of researching taks manager apps yours is the choice! I was even considering omnifocus for the subtasks and folders feature but you win because I can write them in and sync with toodledo! Perfect! Very happy with your work.
Question – is there a way to set reminders for tasks? Or will past tasks and scheduled tasks only come up in the little reminder box on the bottom? Alert alarms would be super helpful! Thanks and keep up the great work!
The code for alerts is there
. Only thing that was left is building the server side for the push notifications.
Be a little while before that happens I’m afraid
, as my hands are full juggling a newborn and work. :S
How do we delete an archived list?
Can we archive a whole folder?
Is there a way to recover a trashed list or folder?
Does the highlighter colored markers line just a part of the text – it does not highlight the whole line of texts?
Heh, a few questions
.
Archived lists can’t be deleted.. hmm.. never did add that feature. But they can be restored. So the workaround is to restore the list and delete it
.
No archive for whole folder
. Sorry.
Yes, trashed lists can be recovered
.
Highlighter will mark the whole line of text.
Is there any available prokastinote tutoring VIDEO Or DEMO of FEATURES
on YouTube or vimeo or your website?
Yes. Just visit the Support Article section – http://www.protaskinote.com/support-articles/
A few videos in there, and tutorials on how to do a lot of stuff.
Heh.. yeah.. well, about that demo vid. Roshe was working on this until she had a baby
. When she’s a bit older, Roshe will be able to spend the time on the demo vid.
But right now, either of us is lucky to squeeze in an hours work
…
All good, she’s coming up to 3 months, so hopefully (fingers crossed!) she’ll start sleeping more than 2 hours
.
I am considering buying this app but have a few questions:
1) Can you export to Evernote
2) Are there any plans to add an audio function so you can a) record and take notes during a meeting and b) do voice dictation?
I have tried a lot of planner apps and this ones seems to be really close to meverything I need. I currently have a Franklin Covey planner and desperately want to get away from the paper. I have my to do list on the left. If this can be done I would say that you have revolutionized you app and will tell everyone I know and use it proudly.
Thank you kindly.
1) Export to Evernote. no
2) Plan to add audio, yes, but not in the near future.
Sorry Chris but you might need to look elsewhere. Maybe even look at getting a note taking style app, as they often have voice dictation options.
In terms of productivity, I’m personally a big fan of the RPM planning method, so check that out
. Online search will get you details.
PS: It beats todo lists hands down. Hmm… although costs a bit
. Really depends on how much you value your productivity 
.
Hi Cliff,
Great app for a ToDo freak. Just loaded 2.01 some comments:
1. Still no Dropbox. Cliff it is essential to sync to Dropbox, please. I thought you were bringing it back in this release?
2. Print (or email list should include the date displayed under the name of the List.
3. Trying to save a List (as opposed to the tasks) with the setting on manual, crashes the app. One use of the app for me is an attendance list, so I want to save the list with a date for later reference.
Keep up the great work.
hi Aplus. Heh, I just sent email response to this
.
Long and short of it is (for the other readers here) is that I apologized for number 1, will put in number 2 with next update and had a question about the number 3 bug you reported.
And apologized again for not being able to keep up with your needs
I purchased one of the Premium Themes but I cannot get it to download. Can you tell me how to download the in app purchase?
Hmm.. might have been a problem with the original download.
What you can do is purchase it again, which should just download it for free for you.
Basically your account with Apple has a permanent ‘tag’, saying that you have purchased a product, so you can’t physically be billed twice for the same item.
Hmm… also check out the list of non premium-themes, as from memory I believe I coded it so that purchased themes also appear there
.
You can email me at cliff@kerofrog.com.au if you need me to troubleshoot further.
good luck Allison
How do you make completed items disappear. My list is so cluttered that I can’t focus. I have it set to archive daily, but nothing seems to change.
Ack
, that’s not cool, if tasks aren’t being archived.
Best thing to do is set it to archive manually (from settings).
Then go over to archives and tap the button that comes up to archive all you’re completed stuff.
I’ll do some bug testing on this end to see where the problem is.
As per version 2.0.2 it seems like the default is automatic rather than manual archiving. Perhaps that was what confused the other person too? You see, it did not help setting it too completed – until I after reading this exchange looked to see what the setting actually was. And it turned out to be automatic – and I have not touch that setting at all in the 2 hours I have owned the app … When I switched it to manual, it started working as I expected.
ah, thx for the info.
hmm… must of changed it to automatic, sorry about that
.
But perhaps automatic is best, so that new users don’t have to think about it?
Hi Cliff,
pardon my ignorance. I came across ur app and it looks great. The clarification that I wanted was whether it converts the characters you scribble and converts them into text for a search later on.
Also can we have icons or smileys as tags
Sorry man
.
Handwriting conversion isn’t a part of the app, although that would be a very cool feature
.
There is an API I can use, but it costs an extra $3 per license just to use the API.
Most likely I’ll add this in as an in-app purchase in future
.
I’ll look into icons/smileys for tags too.
best,
Cliff.
Loving the app, but I am unable to highlight my tasks completely. Whenever I highlight it just highlights the first few letters of the first word. It never fully highlights the whole sentence…….Help!!!!
Sorry man
.
You’d be referring to the handwriting.
The highlighter detects how much text is typed in but there isn’t as easy a way to highlight all of handwritten text.
Hmm… maybe there is a way around it, I’ll get it looked into
.
But just quickly, when you type, I assume the highlighter covers it completely?
Just downloaded the app and so far really enjoying it. Especially the syncing with Toodledo. However I’m stuck in one area and that is how do I create a sub task?
Sorry man
, changed that in recent update.
Open up a task and tap on the + icon on the nav bar to add a subtask
Yes the highlighter covers sentences completely when I type, but when I use handwriting, it barely covers the first word in a sentence. Is this a known issue? Any help wil be appreciated as I prefer to use the handwriter as opposed to typing.
Sorry man
.
The answer is for me to use an icon instead of a highlighter for hand-written tasks.
Reason for this is that working out the length of a handwritten task is much more difficult than getting the length of typed tasks.
I chose a short length on the highlighter for handwritten tasks… :/… not the best solution.
I’ve made a note to at least replace this with icon in future updates
.
Purchased Protaskinote today and LOVE it so far (will post a comprehensive review for you in the app store next week). Only issue I’m running into is that the app crashes if I change my iPad orientation while it is open. It isn’t a huge problem… mostly an annoyance. Any way I can prevent this from happening or do I just need to choose an orientation and stick with it?
Also, any plans to add retina-friendly graphics?
Ack, that really sucks
.
It’s actually not an issue I can replicate.
But you could help me out by emailing your crash reports to me
…
Just contact me directly and I can help you out with that.
As for retina-friendly graphics, aye
– as soon as my little baby daughter starts entertaining herself 
… Fingers crossed that it happens by time she is 9 months ^^
hi’ I really want to buy this app but I want to find out before: can you write from right to left?? cause I’m from israel and most apps do not let you write from right to left and it would be a big consideration.
Thank you
Hello Cliff
I have the application for one week. It seems to me to be very good, but it wanted to do two observations:
1.-When a translation to the Spanish? We are many million Spanish speakers and the application would come far if this language joins.
2.-Since already another user has said, is a necessary Dropbox.
Graces and excuse my Englishman
Aye man, I agree with both your points. ^^
Money and time is the answer to both I’m afraid.
Both of which I should have more of when my little baby girl can start entertaining herself… and sleeping a solid 7 hours
…
So maybe these will be available in 3-6 months
– fingers crossed.
And your english is great
I admit I am a i-Everything neophyte! I love the potential of your app for me, but after working with it for a couple of hours, I am totally confused [not an unusual state for me!] I am not quite understanding the relationships between notebooks-lists-notes-tasks.
When I create a Notebook, and then a list, the list shows up someplace else, like the previous notebook. I don’t know how to get the list into the Notebook; I did it once by accident, but forgot how I got there. In the interface instructions, it seems to skip much mention of the notebooks. I really am a step-by-step person, I guess.
Also the last list I made showed up blank in the thumbnails, then P crashed, but it was visible when I started it again. Thank you.
Notebooks are really just folders for storing lists
.
By default any list created will not be in any folder.
To set the lists to show up in a folder (notebook), just select the notebook, press the options button for the notebook and select the lists you want in there.
In this fashion a list can actually be in more than one notebook as think of them more like a ‘shortcut’ to each list, rather than each list being inside the notebook.
Congratulation, I love your app.
I like the folder aspect but to create quickly a note or list in a folder this not intuiitive. The + function should offer to create directly a list or note in the folder.
Do I miss something? Or is it an option in development ?
The problem perhaps is the naming of folders
.
Damnit, shoulda called them ‘categories’.
What this means is that a multiple folders can have the same lists, as in a list can fall under multiple categories.
Fair point still – I should automatically link up list when folder is open
.
I’ll look at that for next update
.
like the ap – i’m just starting to do tasks on ipad. what i don’t think it can do that i’d like it to do is:
details – ability to handwrite details. would be great if that were an option to open a full page so i could handwrite details on a task item. i don’t want to see the details unless i open it. but the title of the task is not enough.
would be great if i could save a note/list to a folder from the same screen i create it in. similarly, should be able to view a folder and add note/list directly from there.
Love your app. I’m unable to figure out how move an entire list to to the archive area. I’ve completed the list. A pop up said the list can now be moved to archive, but not sur how do so.
Assuming ‘archiving’ is set to manual
-
Tap on archives, rotate to landscape and tap on the ‘archive lists’ button.
I could probably make that a bit more user friendly
, sorry mate.
I’ll make a note of that
.
First of all, thanks for creating a great app!!
I use Protaskinote quite often, but waunder from time to time to other apps to see what they offer. A couple of features that I came across that would be very useful:
1.) companion iPhone app with iCloud sync (Wunderlist)
2.) push notifications (Wunderlist)
3.) location based reminders (ToDo)
Wunderlist has a beautiful display and seamless icloud sync between iphone and ipad apps, but does not have sub tasks and tags offered, which at this time makes it unuseable for me.
Thx for the suggestions
, I’ve added them to the list of features to be added.
I have just installed the app and it is not possible to access the settings in the ipad settings to setup the toodledo syncronization.
The app does not appear in the left list of the settings page.
Please help
Settings for toodledo synchronisation are in the settings menu within the app itself
.
How to use the folder? I tried to move the notes to the folder but I could not find the way. Pls tell.
Many thanks.
Folders work a little bit like categories, in the sense that you can have the same list in multiple ‘folders’.
First you create the folder, and then you can select the lists that are linked to that folder via the options icon.
I think I’ll rename folders to categories in next update
.
Cliff,
In the settings of the app the is no way to input my toodledo accounts detail for login. In other task managing apps I setup the toodledo details in the general settings of the ipad under the particular app setup.
Good point
, I’ll add in settings in general settings as well with next update. 
You can enter toodledo account details under the “Synchronisation & Backup”, in the “Synchronize” -> “Toodledo Service” setting.
Although even that setting could perhaps be improved.
I just paid the $2.99 in-app to remove ads from the free version, thinking that was the same as buying the paid version, but I still have the “free” swatch on my icon. I plan to use this mainly for work, and the “free” thing looks unprofessional (yes, I am picky, too…)
Can this be removed? If not, can I get a refund and buy the paid app, and if that is possible, will my backup be restore-able there? Thanks!!!
Ack, that does suck, sorry Sean
.
Unfortunately Apple don’t allow me to change the icon (without an update), so it’s a bit of a fire and forget type of thing… hmm… might try to sneak in an update with the same icon as paid version ^^…
Refund-wise, of course
. A google search for ‘how to get refund from the app store’ will show you the steps you need to take, and you can also find the steps here – http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/13/iphone-app-refund/
Backups are restorable, just create a backup then use iTunes file sharing + connected iPad to put a copy on your desktop.
If you choose to purchase the paid version then you can drag it over to the Protaskinote app (again using iTunes file sharing + connected iPad), and then from within the app, you can restore the backup
.
Over all I really like this app. Nice and simple. Will be going to the paid version. One request: Is there any way to move the pocket reminder from the screen. I don’t use it and it just blocks my list.
Yeah, had a few people request this when I first released the app
.
I put the option in settings, just need to switch it to off
.
Wow. Don’t know how I missed that! Thanks for the prompt reply.
