Preferably one with a widget where I can quickly view, create, and edit a list of the things I need to do that day. Suggestions?
That would be awesome. I need the same thing. I got a wedding coming up and I have so much to do.

Try Astrid. I haven't used it for a while but it was pretty handy.

I'll second Astrid.
I just use the google calendar.... it seems easier to enter the stuff in on my pc....you can do it from the phone too... and then just use the calendar widgets....
I set "to-do" things as all day events.

I've actually used Note Everything in the past, but I never used the widget. How does it work?

No can do. I'm not about to clutter my calendar with things like "pick up laundry."
I've used "color note" for a while. Basically a sticky note style widget, but the To-do features were surprisingly good. Very easy to add tasks and check them off. Of course, evernote is just awesome simply because your notes are everywhere, but I find it to be too much for the kind of quick To-do list you're talking about.

I also use astrid, but i have used one that syncs my notes online too so that when i reformat my phone and try a different rom (once a day kinda thing for me lol) i dont lose my todo list for my job. i'll have to try to find the name of that one, but if you look in the market it should be easy to find, their main feature is it syncing online and they put it right in the description.
Eh, I tried Astrid, but the widget is horrible.

I like color note... I mainly use it for the note part, but there is a checklist as well.

ok - now you're talking my language. I live and die by my task manager.
I use the ToodleDo task manager at the office. Its a pretty solid task manager and does everything I need it to (which is pretty extensive) in the free version. There's a web interface where you login to the website to access your tasks (which are all stored online), but there's also FF addon that adds instant access to your tasks in a FF sidebar - this makes adding and editing tasks on the fly quick and easy. They only provide that web access though, so although it can be accessed by a mobile browser (meh), they have no android presence.
Here's where it gets interesting.
I have an app called Got To Do, which is a pretty decent android task manager in its own right, but what's cool is that it can also sync up with my ToodleDo account online. So the app gives instant access to all of my ToodleDo tasks. They have a widget, but it's not that great.
But I also have the Pure Calendar widget (which is an a amazingly customizable agenda-showing calendar widget), which can sync up with Got To Do.
So the bottom half of my main homescreen is the Pure Calender widget, not only showing me agenda items from my exchange and google calendars, but also my relevant tasks from ToodleDo/GotToDo. And I have Pure Calendar to open Got To Do when pressed, so my tasks are always one click away. I find myself accessing my tasks almost exclusively from my Evo at this point because of how easy it is.
Elegant productivity enhancement, or just OCD? You decide.
And before it comes up, the cpu and battery drain from all this syncing have been negligible on BS.
I use gtasks. It auto syncs with my Google Tasks on my gmail account and has a simple and nice looking widget. It is also very simple, which is what I was looking for.

Use the app Gtasks, anything you put in will go to your task list on google calendar, thus eliminating clutter.
Or an alternative is to use the app Jorte -- it's a calendar app/widget that links with your google calendar. You can create more than one calendar on google calendars, and turn of the visibility of the new calendar while viewing your calendar online.

Not at all, but unless you can recommend an app that I can use to blur out some name and company info from a shootme screenshot, it won't be till later.

I Think the idea of timescape is quite fantastic, having everything on one look. I use it for Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Rss feeds and i love that it actually opens each dedicated app if you click on the feeds BUT I find the appearance of the Program really annoying, you can hardly read 20letters in overview mode... so I wanted to ask whether there is a usable alternative to this. I tried out tweetdeck, but no RSS (and no Gmail) support scared me away... I also couldnt figure out whether there are themes for timescape that could help me.
I have been searching all over and have been unable to find a solution to sync google tasks with the stock android calendar app. I am able to sync multiple google calendars.... but not tasks. I can view the tasks on my google calendar via the web, however there is no option for tasks when using the stock android calendar app. Anyone have suggestions for this? Thanks in advance.
there are various tasks apps that sync with google tasks. Astrid is one that I use.
No native app from google at this point.
Jorte works as a calendar and task app and you can have more than 1 task list I believe.

If you want tasks to show in calendar, you have to add them as events rather than Google tasks. This is because they are isolated items from the point of view of Google (I disagree) and this is why the calendar only shows events and not tasks.
If you don't want to install 3rd party software, you will have to go that route.
This is personally what I do too... For some reason android users have this strange fetish for getting apps for everything even though it should be native.

I agree that it would be nice if that functionality was built-in.
Another option is Tasks Free by Team Tasks (I'd search the dev in the store, the app title is too vague). Its more bare-bones than Astrid (but I don't have much experience with Astrid). I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it seems good.
Thanks all for the input. ill give astrid a try.
Ugh. This drives me nuts. I don't understand Google's logic on this one. If 'Tasks' are a part of 'Calendar', then they should be accessible in the same way as calendar events. I shouldn't have to have separate apps/widgets to view tasks and events. That's just plain stupid. They are both in my Calendar.
Adding Tasks as an event is annoying at best, and at worst you can't mark them complete or see overdue tasks. Using a shortcut to the web based version doesn't help and is an even worse workaround. No notifications or even a visible homescreen widget? No Thanks.
People recommend Jorte like its the best thing since chocolate and peanut butter. I've tried it twice and it comes off as Windowsy and way more complicated than necessary.
So I am left with a bunch of crummy choices, most of which involve me having to use a 3rd party app. Why can 3rd parties figure this out and not you Google? Thanks.
I hawe same troubles. Now I use CalenGoo - it's so usefull calendar with a task support. It have a separate widget for calendar (very usable and customisable) and for task (so ugly for me) but inside yhe mail application sinchrinise and show task and calendar relativelu good.

Thank you, I was having exactly this same problem and your post led me to Calengoo. It perfectly syncs Google Tasks and Google Calendar and both are visible on the same calendar on your android, and both sync instantly to your google account and show up on your desktop google calendar. The widgets are good too.
Cannot believe Google has not implemented this, there are so many posts on their own forums complaining about it all the way back to 2009.
Hi all!
I am looking for best calendar app & widget for my purposes. I need app which understand html-description (like stock calendar understand) but I need also:
Ability to create private appointments
widget is showing also appointment description
So far PI is quite close but it didn't understand htlm-description. Touch calendar shows appointment description but I don't find widget for that and it also do not understand html-description. Stock calendar would be fine but it doesn't show appointments in monthly lookout. Business calendar has a great widget but it doesn't understand htlm-description.
Anybody have a good suggests!?
Try this one!

Either you did not understand what I wanted or I am stupid... Because I am not able to find descriptions when monthly widget is open.
I do not want a listed appointments but instead of that I need weekly or monthly widget which is showing appointments descriptions and descriptions can be html-format.
Business Calendar has nice monthly widget but it do not understand html-code and then whole description is nice mess. Am I only one who is needing this?
you might want to checkout business calendar, got it when it was on sale

Sorry in my 1st message: "Business calendar has a great widget but it doesn't understand htlm-description."
Also I asked that from support:
"Hey Pxxx,
I think our calendar will also have some problems with HTML-description. You can try to use the free version for a short test. Normally it is only possible to show HTML-links in the description field of an event.
With best regards - Christoph Wolf from Business Calendar Support"
So I do not understand why it is soooo difficult to make calendar app with great widget and it also understand html. It is not so nice to read html-code-mess in description. Btw. stock calendar understand that but it has stupid monthly widget.
Ok, I can use both but I want only one apk for that...
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a stable app that combines a calendar and todo list. I've tried many different things already but none of them really fit my purpose. Wunderlist does not offer any Calendar functionality besides the due date feature, the same goes for Astrid, fetchnotes doesn't even offer that last time I checked. Google calendar is somewhat close, but it doesn't give you the possibility to just drop down a note. Also, I'd like to have notes sorted in lists that I can share with other users. That's probably the most important feature.
These are my criteria, until now Wunderlist has come closest. If anyone knows a good alternative which offers calendar functionality (a monthly and weekly overview plus an agenda for example), please let me know
Thanks a lot in advance

I personally use Any.do and Any.cal, which integrate nicely and can be used with your Google Calendar and Google Tasks account... But as far as I know, they don't offer everything you're asking for out of the box (at least not the shareable lists, certainly not from the app itself, but I suppose you might be able to use the Google Tasks web interface for that, at least).

Sorry for the delay, kinda forgot about these threads.
Well, sharable lists are pretty much my main concern and while using Google Tasks web interface is a good idea I haven't had yet, I hate using two different pieces of software for one purpose, it's to me like using a calendar and a todo app side by side. The distinction between the two (tasks and calendar events) is just too fluent in order to separate them I feel.
If anyone else has a suggestion, please go ahead and leave a reply
Does anyone have any new ideas? Maybe something changed in the meantime which I haven't noticed yet? It's sort of frustrating to always look for a better version of an app you're basically forced to use every day >.<
