Hi everyone.
I wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a TODO list app which can be shared between different friends.
I'm not sure if such an app exists, but it should meet all of the following:
Can create todo lists
Can easily remove finished tasks
Can share the list between users with the same app
Other users can also edit the task items
Optionally, a notification when a new task has been added/modified would be great. And, obviously, free apps are always preferred.
Any app that does all of that?
Thanks!
Have u tried astrid?

I used it for a while, but never with collaboratively. Eventually uninstalled it because I started getting notification spam and astrid emails, and got tired of it.
try trollo
Catch.com has recently added sharing and checklist.

Hi..
Following are my sugessions. Please check them out.
Milk - the app works like a regular to-do list -- you add tasks and then you can mark them complete. You can even set priorities. There's no leaving the list at the office or at home since you can check it on any device.
Astrid - Astrid works in the same way with synced to-dos and the ability to make different lists. However, Astrid has a much cleaner web interface. It looks like it was heavily influenced by Twitter's website design. The mobile versions are also nicely designed and easy to use.
Wunderlist - I prefer standalone desktop apps to websites sometimes, and Wunderlist is the only one of the services that offers downloadable Mac and PC versions. Wunderlist beats the others on design. The design of all of its apps -- for the Mac and PC, Web, Android, and iPhone -- are very clean and you can even change the background of the interface on them.
Thanks
My girlfriend and I use Cozi.
I has to do lists, shopping lists, calendars.....pretty much everything and syncs up as well.
Access on any device.

I generally try not to post notifications about my software in other forums, but if anyone is interested, I've created a new todo/project manager for Android 1.5 and later.

Thanks!
looks very nice and GTDish.
but if it doesn't sync to an online service it is pretty worthless for a lot of people.
I for example use toodledo, because I can access it from my Mac at home and from my PC at work...
good luck, anyways, it looks promising.
What if it syncs to a desktop client? Is that worth anything?
of course that helps, but it would still not solve the problem if you can not install apps on your office PC. Thats a problem a lot of folks have due to managed workplaces
So, I've been thinking about this. If I were to set up a ToodleDo sync, some of the extra fields would have to go into the task's notes. Would that be an acceptable alternative?
Very beautiful and promising. I second the need for Toodledo sync, or it will be unusable to a lot of people.
I really liked the looks of it.

sure. use Toodledoo fields as far as possible, everything else goes into notes.
but what would you save in the notesfield, for example?
I think about developing a GTD app for webOS and am wondering how to do it well myself
Well, after the data is pulled out of the notes field, the remaining text would just be notes. So, those would be placed appropriately (this is when pulling from ToodleDo). When adding to ToodleDo, I would just place the notes after the extra data.
This gets to be a little complex as I have a few options for contexts which have not been added yet (though the fields exist in my database) and ToodleDo doesn't support contexts as anything other than a text string.
Then there's projects vs goals. I would probably go that route as I don't want to make anyone purchase a pro account on ToodleDo.
After doing all this research, I'm still considering using a WebDAV server sync method with a desktop client as I could guarantee that everything would sync properly.

The software expires today right? Any news on the paid version?
arg! I want to try it.
The biggest thing for me in an app like this is,
Hierarchy: ability to make sub-projects/subtasks (why I love todoist.com)
Widget/cal sync: needs to sync to Pure Calendar or Google Cal
Personally I would not want it to sync to ToodleDo unless the sub-project functionality this seems to have (again can't try it, beta's up) is maintained without needing a pro account of ToodleDo (which supports subtasks)
The beta expired at midnight this morning, so I'm quickly finishing a few things.
What I'm doing right now is adding a few things that make sense with the ToodleDo sync. And, I'm making a few underlying database changes that you shouldn't see if you were using a previous version. Again, this is in anticipation of the ToodleDo sync. The sync won't be available until I release it for the market.
@Hepæstus:
TaskIt has projects and subprojects. Each project and subproject can have an unlimited number of tasks. In the Today view, though, you will only see the tasks. So, when a project comes due, all of its tasks will be added to the Today view (including any subproject's tasks). When you complete the last task, it will mark the project as complete.
As for the syncing, I don't want to make people get a ToodleDo pro account, so I'm setting things up a little differently. The ToodleDo sync will be more of a hack in that the tasks will sync, but any fields unsupported by ToodleDo will be added to the notes field. Projects will be synced with ToodleDo's goals. I know it's not perfect, but I originally designed this app to be synced with a forthcoming desktop client, not an existing web service, so I have a few features that are not supported by either Remember the Milk or ToodleDo.
I forgot to mention that yes, there is a widget. Also, the update will be available later today.
Version 0.9.5 is now up. You can check it out here:

Hey chmckay, can you see the possibility of syncing with http://my.gtdify.com/ as well? I like the idea of a desktop client, but if I can access my stuff anywhere, that would be even more awesome. I'm eagerly anticipating a paid version.
I'll take a look at that site and see if they have any syncing capabilities.
Instead of using one of those thausands of webservice that offer a gtd-like project/todo-management I would really prefer a sync to my own webspace.
Combined with a simple webinterface, like the one from "Tracks" (which is the base for my.gtdify.com) or MonkeyGTD/mGSD (Tiddlywiki, a dynamic html-File mgsd.tiddlyspot.com).
That would really be great!
@spaboleo:
That was the basis of my wanting to sync to a desktop client: so that you own your data.
However, because very few people are interested in that, I'm looking into ToodleDo and Tracks. Tracks is interesting because you can host it yourself, so that's a plus.
When the desktop client is ready, TaskIt will also have WebDAV syncing so you can sync to your own server and be in full control of your own data.
Ah, ok
I thought that by "desktop client" you ment something like an installable piece of software...which in case would be okay if there is a webclient/webserver-version.
Maybe the installation could be obsolete too by using a portable client.
anyway...thank you for your effort!
sounds really promising!
Actually, I do intend to create an installable desktop client. The WebDAV sync is so that your data doesn't sync via someone else's servers.
The Tracks/GTDify and ToodleDo sync are for those who want web only.
Of course I can only speak for myself, but 70% the software I use is portable and placed on my thumbdrive (even browsers, mail-clients, IM-Tools etc.).
The other 30% include exclusivly larger suites like Office, Graphic-Programs or CAD-Tools.
Mostly an installtion is not really required if you include saved userfiles directly into the programmfolder.
For the less experienced users you could offer a installable version.
But, I would appreciate a ziped version that I can carry around on my thumbdrive, without the need to "make it portable by myself" ;D
I think I'm not the only that prefers portable software.
Best wishes
I've always been a confused, badly organized guy, and my head is one big chaotic mess. Since I wont carry a paper agenda all the time, I've recently bought a smartphone (SGS2), mainly to keep things organized and structured.
The problem is, for each task there's a different app. Now I've got a zillion apps, and I wonder if that's the best way to structure/organize things.
I currently use on my android phone:
- Jorte Calender synched with Google Calender.
- Dropbox to sync files between different platforms
- Evernote for my journal/notes/to-do list.
- QuickPic to view my pictures (normal pictures and pictures of paper documents) and video's.
- Opera is my main browser and I use the build-in bookmarker. The bookmarks are synched between my phone and my pc.
- Build in sms/contact Touchwiz app for my contacts
- Gmail app for my mail and mail addresses.
- etc
I want to reduce the number of apps to get things done easier and faster. You guys know any all-in-one apps that are capable of many of the listed tasks? Or could you explain how you structure things?
EDIT: Sometimes I don't even know what app I should use for certain things.
For example: I'd like to make a list with my favorite movies. Should I do this with evernote?
Or: I've got something scheduled and used my calender app for that, but I also need to make a few notes about that appointment. Do I use my calendar, or a notebook app like evernote?
Thanks in advance.
Jochem
What do you guys suggest?
I would just use evernote for everything! Why do you make such a mess with apps? Just get used to ONE app, and you should be fine
There is as of now, no "multi-app" that can do ALL of your tasks. Unfortunatly, I think you'll have to use the apps the way you already are. Unless you want to root your phone, and install a custom ROM that has some sort of "multi-app"
I have been looking for a simple task / to-do list app that will let me share lists with other people, so that we can both edit and sync the same list. My partner and I both have smartphones and want to share shopping lists etc. I have tried a few apps, but always run into problems it seems. For instance:
GTasks - constantly recreated and duplicated items on the list that one person had checked off. Even if only one person made changes to the list and the other only synced to those changes, the app still made lots of errors. A limitation of Google task API maybe?
Astrid - to be fair, I haven't tried sharing a task list with my partner yet, but that's because Astrid can't even keep my own task lists straight without randomly adding or removing tasks. The "Astrid.com" sync in particular seems terribly buggy. The app is hopeless.
Is anyone successfully using an app to share lists between people and not getting this kind of random rubbish and list corruption? Seems like a simple and easy thing to want to do!
I haven't tried this but it claims to do what you want.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.fivefly.android.shoppinglist
I was sceptical when I saw the link, but this app is actually rather good. It is very much shopping-oriented, but you can use it for regular to-do lists as well. And the syncing so far seems to be working well. Hooray!
The best app for document sharing that I find useful is Google Docs. Docs pretty much integrates all your systems and can be shared with different groups. I also found that Evernote is a good app for this. However, I have not yet used Evernote on an Android based phone. Only with Windows and Apple based phones.

Google Docs and Evernote are both fine programs, but neither works without an always-on data connection, and I don't have one (Evernote Premium does I believe, but I don't want to pay for an app before I can test that it does what I want). Guess I should have mentioned that in my first post
Hi all,
Do any of you use OneNote and sync it with your Note?
The 2 apps that I've found are the MS OneNote app and MobileNoter SE.
I tried the MS app, but it seems pretty limited.
I haven't tried the MobileNoter SE app as there is no trial. There is another version that requires a monthly subscription, but I'm interested in knowing how well the SE version actually syncs via livedrive or dropbox.
Does anyone use MobileNoter SE and have any feedback on whether it is a good way to sync OneNote files between phone and PC?
thanks,
Rich
I have both apps and did purchase the wifi edition.
Both apps are limited but i make both of them work.
My backup folder is done via dropbox.
Mobilenoter is much better now. However you cannot make new pages.
For bypassing this i have made many extra pages in the one note in my pc.
Thanks.
Yeah, it seems that both the MS app and mobilenoter together would be the perfect app.
The MS apply only allows plain text input, but you can have numbered lists and check boxes. Mobilenoter doesn't have numbered lists or check boxes, but allows (limited) rich text formatting.
The cloud sync using their servers seems a bit flaky, but I'm thinking of buying the SE version as they said they are adding the numbered lists and check boxes this year. And hopefully syncing directly to my livedrive will be better than their cloud sync....

I have high hopes too
@Galaxy Note™…
I run MobileNoter SE and find it great. I don't actually create notes with it mind, I do all those on the laptop. Sometimes sync fails with an error but in those cases I just rerun it again - I do have a lot of notes and sections many including lots of embedded graphics and attached pdfs, ppts, etc, so these are very large, on the line of several hundred mb, and wifi soya out sometimes.
Overall I'm very pleased with it and find the Microsoft one absolute rubbish in comparison, for example it doesn't even retain my page formatting.
Thanks guys. I just sprung for the SE edition.
It seems to sync a lot better now that I've moved my notebooks to Dropbox. I tried Livedrive first, but changes on the phone didn't show up on the PC, even after manually syncing both devices.
Still a lot of functionality missing in terms of editing, (checkboxes, numbered lists, ability to rotate or resize pictures, an undo function in drawing mode, highlighting of text). And it seems pretty slow to sync and navigate, but it seems to have more potential than the MS app.

Try the Android Menu button, it will make Undo/Redo options to appear.
Thanks. I didn't even think to look there.

Hi guys, there are four Android apps that I would like to recommend to you!
Spotify: Spotify maybe the most popular music streaming services in the past several years. With enormous number of songs, this app enable users not only listen to the songs they like, but also create their own playlist of their favorite songs. In addition, users could also get updated album reviews from large music publications, such as Rolling Stone. As a result, this could improve the customer satisfaction about this app, which makes this app so popular in the market.
Flipboard: Flipboard is my favorite news reading app in Google Play market. With millions of users around the world, Flipboard is probably one of the most popular apps in recent years. I love this app, because it provides a personalized miniature magazine out of everything that I am interested. In addition, I can also create magazines and add more content from websites to my Flipboard, which is quite interesting. Moreover, adding and deleting items on Filpboard are quite easy and I can also share my magazine with my friends on Twitter or Facebook .All these functions make this app stand out from ordinary news reading apps.
MoWeather: MoWeather is the app of the year in my Galaxy S3. MoWeather is both pretty and functional. The app background is not only beautiful but also animated, which I believe is much better than Yahoo Weather. The 15-day-forecast could help people plan their holidays or business traveling a lot easier. In addition, the real-time photos shared by people around the world could also provide timely weather condition in those places. As a result, this has changed the way that people using a weather app, which makes this app more popular.
Evernote: I use Evernote to synchronize notes of all kinds, such as voice memos, pictures and PDF files. The app is amazing, all the notes are not only accessible from Evernote applications and website, but also highly searchable and tagable. The new version of Evernote improved the navigation function of this app, which enables app users to access recent notes, tags, and shortcuts quickly. I will refer to Evernote, every time when I want to take a note or search for documents that I need. I put Evernote in my dock and it has become one of the most popular apps in my Galaxy S3.
How do you guys think those apps, looking forward to your comments!
What's the point in suggesting 3 very popular apps and a non popular weather app?
