Product: Add checkbox
Please add "checkbox" to tasks or lists so they can be "checked" off (and moved to "completed") instead of swiping. It would save time/energy of actually swiping.

Display checkable circles next to a task to reflect subtasks that aren't worth naming but are worth checking off.

Sometimes I have plan to buy things on certain date. It should be like checklist which i could mark strikethru on each item I have bought. Some item have not been bought could rechedule to another date or to be deleted.

I've had this issue occur multiple times... not only myself, but to my staff. The trick is to start swiping at the far left, then only swipe a bit - if you swipe all the way to the right, the x appears, and if you pause for a split second when you get to the end, you end up deleting the task.
In a large list, this can be a problem in the field... especially since there does not appear to be a way to retrieve deleted items.
I agree whole heartedly that it should not be so easy to accidentally delete items.
Another option might be to save deleted items for a period of time (eg: 1 day), so things that are accidentally deleted could be retrieved.

Basically you can't delete a task unless you mark it for deletion.

Well, I have a hard time understanding how the delete button is too easy... At least on a phone it seems reasonable: swipe right to complete, which is basically deleting because it's moved to the bottom and crossed out with an x next to it, press the x, or shake your phone or go to the additional actions on the list and choose clear completed tasks (last 2 best for deleting all at one time in a list). But before you delete delete you can swipe left to unmark a task for deletion.
Why should any.do have to make something "harder" which will make it a hassle for the (majority of) people who think before they do or aren't careless.

I only use the app in full screen widget mode because that allows me to mark complete with taps instead of swipes. The swipes are too cumbersome.

I need shopping lists which activate by location.
Tick boxes would be ideal.

I think it is much nicer to mark with a side tick mark like the app logo when a task is done

This way we can easily check the task and stay in our workflow.

I find the current swipe to dismiss very finicky and often end up dismissing the wrong tasks. I would just like a simple button I can press to dismiss tasks.

We need a delete button and check boxes as its way to easy to delete things the way it is now.
