How Can We Improve Any.Do?

Lists: Allow for more layers

Just like a subtask, but inside lists.
If I have a big assignment, just like a birthday party, I should be able to create a list named Birthday Party, create sublists like Cake, Decoration and Invitations and then, inside those lists create each individual task with its subtasks inside of them.

    Yes, this is also consistent with the Getting Things Done framework (David Allen). For example, I might have a list which is called Books to Read, but that's under a broader umbrella of Someday/Maybe. (In this simple example subtasks maybe could work, but for more complex examples, you would need to have subtasks available for additional detail).

    If there was an ability to tag entire lists (separate from the tasks within the list) that could work as well. I know that tags are already organized in the forms of lists from the Grid View. But if you have dozens of lists, applying tags to the lists themselves helps with the organization.

    Seems entirely logical to me. I cannot even figure out how to slide tasks into their appropriate folder to organize spontaneous ideas I have had throughout the week (added on phone). I miss todoist.

    Yep, this feature would be great. I want to have a list for all my university stuff with different sublists for the individual subjects.

    Many times we are working on various projects having similar tasks with different target dates. User should able to create master file with sub tasks, which can be copied as new project. Upload from Excel file will also add value...

    I'd find it really useful if instead of "My Lists" and all the lists underneath, you could have more than one predominant list. For instance, I could have a "Work" main list and underneath have lists for specific projects, but also have a "Home" list, where I could have lists for daily habits, shopping, cleaning etc. I love absolutely everything else but this would may Any.do a total dream for me.

    Would be nice to have options to show the notes and/or subtasks in the general task view.
    Both in widget and main app. Options to turn this on or off because some people might still only want to see the task names.

    Example: If I have a task to call someone and I put the phone number in the notes, I'd like to be able to see it directly underneath the task and be able to click to call it. Right now I have to click on the task, and double tap on the number (coz it doesn't get recognized as link yet)
    to get the option to actually call.

    Ability to organize lists into folders (folders of lists, not just folders of tasks)

    I see many feature requests regarding "folders" as archived / released / passed but they seem to not suggest the same idea.

    I would like, similarly to Wunderlist, to be able to organize entire *lists* into folders.
    For instance, I'd like "Work" to be a folder of tasklists (and not just a list of tasks like now).
    If you want to use Any.do in a professional context, you're likely to have one list per project, and it becomes a real clutter along with all your Personal etc. lists if you can't put them all in one "Work" folder.

    It would go like:

    /WORK (folder)

    - project A (list)
    -- task 1
    -- task 2
    -- task 3

    - project B (list)
    -- task 1
    -- task 2
    -- task 3

    /PERSONAL (folder)

    - birthday party (list)
    -- task 1
    -- task 2
    -- task 3

    - holidays
    -- task 1
    -- task 2
    -- task 3

    Without this I cannot see how it can handle professional contexts where you have more than one project at a time.

    NB: I don't see tags as a manner to achieve this either since it would force to manually tag each and every task of a list to link it to a master "Work" label for instance, to replace just a master folder.
    Hope this will catch your attention!
    This is my main missing feature from Wunderlist. Otherwise it does a wonderful job if not better at the rest :)

    Want a do to list app that allows sublists. So where I have my own business and personal, should be marketing, accounting, operations, under each list - then I can put tasks in the right area.

    Same with personal could be holiday, renovation, shopping, etc

    Love the rest of the app but deleted after 20 minutes as cant do this like other apps offer - seems simple and basic feature unless I've missed it

    I'd like to be able to ident subtasks because that way we would be able to have multiple levels of tasks, making it easy to break a big task in smaller ones.

    Like on Wunderlist, to be able to create a folder & then have ‘files’ within them.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Now we have All, main Groups when we click on it it will show tasks in it. instead can we have a one more level for grouping tasks. It can be as Kanban Board also.

  • Theresa Monro commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, please. Wunderlist allows this and it is why I am considering going back to them. Would also like to be able to add notes to subtasks. And if you could allow for voice files as notes, that would be useful for when working hand free in the car. The voice to text option is not accurate enough at this time.
