Calendar: Suggest available time slots
The calendar should be able to intelligently come up with good time slots for events based on the user's previous meetings and choices. Something similar to the app Thinkful.

Make the Tomorrow button do something else other than 10:00 am all the time. Maybe I want that reminder first thing when I get up (5:00 am) or get to my first break (8:30am)

I love when I make a new task, the app suggest me different times for a possible reminder. The problem is this function is kind of useless, because the suggested times are not useful for me. At least there is a little chance that the suggested reminder times are fitting in my agenda.
Some examples:
- If I'm working in the office, and at 13:00 I want to make a quick reminder that i have to do one more thing later today. The app suggests 4 or 6 p.m. for reminder, but it is too late for me, because I leave my office around 4 p.m.
Solution: there should be a series of settings in the app, where I can set up what days of the week I working, what is my working period (8:00-16:00), what time I usually wake up in the morning, what time I usually go to bed, etc. This way, the app could offer more useful suggestions for reminder times. For example: remind later in work, remind after work, remind before work, etc. -

Simple task time prediction when creating tasks. For example, starting to type “lunch with...”, and the time automatically predicting noon, or “date night” and the task time predicting evening.

I'd love to use the quick choices available for setting reminders, like "tomorrow", "this evening", etc. for new tasks and snoozing. However, almost all of the preset reminder times don't work for me, which means I have to use the custom reminder time option instead. E.g., for me, a reminder for "tomorrow" would almost always have to be at 8am, not 10am. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to change the default reminder times in the preferences.
This is a real productivity sink for me, because it means I have to use the custom reminder time option for almost every reminder, which takes much longer to set.
On a side note: I don't really understand why all of the similar requests that have come up in the past have been marked as "passed", meaning we can no longer vote for them. From what I've seen, I'm by far not the only one missing this feature dearly. :)

That is instead of us manually selecting a due time, We have to add a task and specify the duration. We also specify what time we have to start our day. Then the tasks will be arranged by duration and we can reorder prioritize and what not. And when viewed it must be like a highly accurate timetable.

The times of quick reminders like "Later Today", "This Evening" are currently not customizable.
It would be great if we had a setting to change the default time for these. I suggest an option in the settings tab to customize these.
Example: This is especially useful for people who always need a timer for 9pm in the evening, and not 7pm like it is by default.

Whenever I wanna set a reminder for a task. Its usually a specific time rather than “This evening”, I want to be able to customise it so that “Custom” shows up first.

Would be good to see a snapshot of which days are busy and which days are free by following the google calendar Android app format where even if it is small view format, coloured dots show the types of events you have on those days and how many. Their large view format lists the events and tasks due on that day. Easier to plan at a glance.

When adding a task offer a quick alarm option for lunchtime and make it 12pm. The time could also be configurable under options.
During a work week I do most tasks at lunchtime. -
Isabel Gonzalez Honorato commented
Every time I add new tasks I end changing the alarm because the default is set at 11 am .
There should be an option to change that default alarm time. -

I would like to choose daily recurring task by days, for instance, lets say that I want to check my E-mail every day at 11:15 at work, I want it to reoccur Mon-Fri and I don't want it to wake me up at my free day, please add days to choose from like any other app.

I like this!!!!

But can you set the task to recur only on set working days i.e. the 7th working day of the month

The ability to customize default suggested times when planning day. This would prevent having to use the custom time option so often.

Am I the only one who gets up earlier than 9am and want to have a notification then?

If it's the same thing it might be worth moving your votes to this:

Wunderlist supports this and is simple to migrate from Astrid too. So will start to use that instead!

Add "Once A Fortnight", "Once In Two Months"

In addition to custom recurrence frequencies, it should be possible to make a task repeat "every x days/weeks/months", and/or "after x days/weeks/months". That is, have the repeat happen from either the original due date or from the date it was completed.
For example: If I pay my bills on the first of each month, then I want to have the task reappear on the same day every month, even if I don't get to it until the 3rd or 4th or 10th one month. On the other hand, if I get my hair cut monthly, but one month I'm two weeks late getting a hair cut, I don't need another reminder two weeks after that (a month from the original due date), but a full month after I complete the task.

As Krisjanis said this feature needs A LOT of attention especially if you wan't to get Astrid users on your side.
In short this feature should be your TOP priority now.
Good Luck Any.Do team hope you make the app even better. =)
