Ui: Improve date and time interface (text input)
Instead of scrolling could we just input manually by typing the desired date and time? At the moment on my phone when I add a task I have to spend a while scrolling through times and dates before I get the one I want. This is especially an issue when I want to put long term tasks in (e.g. review a direct debit, renew my passport etc.)

Yes, please. Also to separate the time and date, because sometimes we want to keep the date as is, and just change the time. In this case you need to scroll down and choose the date again and then chose the time. Thanks

Other apps allow the user to select the time input option that they prefer, including typing in the time. Having to scroll from 2:00 to 2:30 is unnecessarily time consuming.

Can this please be a feature already? It feel asinine to scroll to the number I need rather than just using the numpad when using the web app.

I'm not sure which selection you are referring to but I find the web interface time selection quite unintuitive. I can clearly see how it works but adjusting the time on it is never as smooth as I would like. I would like it if a different kind of widget was used.

I think the customized date/time setting is not comfortable. How about a simple typing option or a list to choose from?

Scrolling is popular in the google apps, and is an awful design motif. It's impossible to enter information quickly.
This comment should go for the web interface too, where most users will have a keyboard sitting in front of them. I think a lot of the web interface is centered around slick-looking design at the expense of simplicity and usability, which is why I started using Any-do in the first place.

Seriously, why is this not a standard feature already? I can't think of any other app that I use where you have to scroll to a time

Yes please! Times are very important to me and scrolling through hr and min is frustrating!

please improve the time selection by a better and modern widget, like the one used by Google inbox (a circle watch), which is very nice graphically and very easy to use.
