Been using Astrid for quite a while now.. before that started off with Toodo on the G1 which never quite did it for me. Astrid has been a great solution with its simplicity and RTM syncing. I gave it 5 stars on Market, but in reality no To Do list app will ever be 5 stars for everyone, we all have our own ideas about the perfect to do list app.

I had been using Google Tasks & the Calendar (syncing w my Outlook Scheduler) for a defacto task manager.

This app does look pretty robust and will have to check it out and maybe make the complete switch.

Great Review!

I have a problem when trying to configure Astrid to sync with RTM!

I’ve followed the link to the website of RTM, and I’ve allowed Astrid to interact with RTM. But… nothing happens! Everytime I hit “sync” I get the “Welcome to Astrid’s RTM sync!” dialog, which sends me to RTM again. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,
Im new to Andriod, actually still on WM but about to jump.

Why does one need a second tasks app (RTM) to be able to sync your app with google tasks?

Otherwise it seems like a really good app.

Mark.

  Unfortunately Astrid doesn’t sync to Google Tasks directly, however with a Labs addon via Remember the Milk which can sync you can sync tasks that way.

Buyer beware. I used Astrid for a couple of months, but unfortunately I opened it up today and all of my data is gone. Bye-bye Astrid.

      GTask syncs automatically for 30 days and manually thereafter… Menu > Sync.

Try “Got to do lite” – it’s far better. You have there tags in roll-on list (in Astrid you have to type there manually) and reminders. I don’t understand, how todo list can exist without reminders. So big fail.

Is there anyway to completely remove a task from the Astrid Database. When I deleted, it stays in memory in a “deleted” status. Can I completely remove it from memory?

When a task is deleted in ASTRID, it stays in memory in a “deleted” state. Can you completely remove a task from DROID memory?
