Michael Daitzman September 13th, 2020

I've been using a different tool on IOS and MAC and when I switched to a chromebox for a few months while my mac was being repaired needed something to manage my todo.txt file on dropbox. This did the job beautifully - 1. great implementation, integrated perfectly with my swiftodo workflow, 2. VERY responsive developer. If the chromebox or my elementary linux system become part of my workflow this will definitetly be part of my toolchest.

Too complicated. No help readily at hand. To do programs are (mostly) for people who are short of time. If it isn't simple and obvious I don't have time to learn it..

Just started using the app and was loving it, but since the last update on the 7/4/20 my tasks are no longer displayed despite the icon counter showing the number of tasks correctly. :(
