Reminders: Customize suggestions
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.

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.

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. -

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.

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. =) -

I have already suggested this to the team but here we go again: I would really recommend you look at the Orchestra app on the iPhone. It is the best recurring task implementation I have seen among all task managers i've tried. And I've tried many many many. Without recurring stuff it is not usable for me unfortunately.

We need to have the ability to customize recurring (every other week, every Monday and Wednesday, etc).
