Todoist 9.7.2 - 2024-08-08

[FunkyBuddha]

Todoist is a great list-based task management app with an intuitive interface and innovative feature set. It’s a great addition to your overall toolset, as you’ll see as we go along in this full Todoist review.

As list apps go, Todoist does a great job and it’s as good as — maybe even better than — the former Wunderlist (read our Wunderlist review) or its successor, Microsoft To-Do. We really like how it sends you a notification when you’re close to the location of a task, for example, and how the tutorial makes you learn through doing.

Key Takeaways:

• Todoist is one of the better list-based apps out there. It’s easy to use, has some nifty extra features and manages both tasks and subtasks, which comes in handy.
• The board view isn’t very good. If you need a board just for a handful of cards, it’ll do fine, but we wouldn’t run a full project on it.
• The free plan should do fine for most people, most of the time. It has the bulk of Todoist’s features, with the paid version only adding some cool little extras.

• 🐛 In some scenarios, after editing a task without saving the changes, the discard button didn't work properly. Now it's functional.
• 🐛 We fixed an issue where the sidebar settings weren't able to be saved
• Two "due" issues:
  • 🐛 Before, when due dates were set based on a fixed time zone, they might display the wrong value relative to the device's time zone in the task details modal and scheduler.
  • 🐛 A similar bug – when due dates were based on a fixed time zone, reopening the time popover in the scheduler changed the due date based on the time zone difference. Both of these bugs have been squashed.

Android

• ⭐ Allow manual sort in Upcoming
• 🐛 📅 The calendar was showing a blank screen instead of week layout, which is much less useful, so we fixed that.
• 🐛 📅 We also fixed the time display when changing timezones
• 🐛 📅 And finally, we stopped the problem of losing the selected day or selected week index in calendar layouts

• 🐛 We've brought back showing you your recently used reminder locations – never should have left!
• 🐛 The due date/time string for a recurring task was being overwritten when the due time was changed, forcing all future recurrences to have the new due time. But Ricardo fixed it so this is no longer the case.
• 🐛 Dragging and dropping tasks to the sidebar project list wasn't working right when a user only had a single project in their account. Now it's as it should be.
• ⭐️ Now when you hover on a task in the Calendar layout, you can complete it from the hovercard.

• 🐛 It wasn't possible to close the calendar sidebar on small windows. This is now fixed. 
• 🐛 Technical stuff: markdown was not being processed by the editor when it came from a macOS text replacement. This has since been fixed.💪

• 🐛  Previously, you couldn't use the task context menu on tasks in the Calendar layout's "more events" popover. Thanks to Paweł's efforts, now you can. 
• 🐛 Some users experienced a glitch where automatic reminders weren't being triggered when the due time for a recurring task was changed after the task was overdue. Ricardo took care of it though, and now it works as it should.

• 🐛 Paweł fixed it so that if you're using Calendar layout in Upcoming view and reschedule a task, the date link in the toast will open the Upcoming view to the specified date, instead of malfunctioning like an abandoned robot on a distant (very sandstorm-y) planet.
• 🐛 When using the URL scheme to open the Desktop app Quick Add with pre-filled content, our Natural Language parser was ignoring all the matches, like a depressed eHarmony user.  Ricardo has ensured that this is no longer the case.
• 🐛 Previously, if you began to drag a task – ex. "finally propose!💍" – from the Calendar sidebar but then got cold feet and dropped it back in the sidebar, it wasn't possible to drag that task into the Calendar to schedule it. But Paweł fixed it so you can now drag, drop, re-drag, and re-drop as many times as you like 'til you find the perfect moment. 
• 🐛 Some of our users with recurring tasks with reminders were besieged by a vicious clone army of duplicate reminders. But Ernesto was able to fix the issue, and thus win us the clone war in one fell swoop.

• ⭐️ Now you can drag-and-drop multiple tasks to anywhere you like – while using manual sorting – in the Today and Upcoming views... that's a long-requested feature, brought to you by d-n-d master Craig! 💪
• 🐛 Labels and workspaces with an ampersand were not being parsed correctly in the "Filter by" option in the Project View Options menu. This has now been fixed, thanks to Ricardo's careful attention.
• 🐛 Thanks to Francesca, now multi-day events are displayed in the Upcoming view on the Calendar layout, even if they start prior to the current calendar date range. 
• ⚙️ When moving a project to a workspace or back using drag-and-drop we made it easier to read its whole name. (They can now be longer, as is often the case in some languages. 🇩🇪🙂)

    🐛 Scott fixed it so that automatic reminders aren't accidentally omitted when adding a task via the Calendar View.
    🐛 Henning fixed downloads in the desktop app for your backups. 📦 Now there's no need to use the browser app anymore.
    🐛 Though it's rare, he also removed the slight possibility of accidentally creating duplicate labels. 🔖🔖
