Tired of dull, complicated to-do apps? Try Errands, a great tool to help organize your life. It has a pleasing design and is easy to learn and use. A careful blend of basic and advanced features: Folders, Checklists, Task Images, Scheduling & Repeating, Alerts, Mail Tasks, and MUCH MORE!
** GOOD NEWS: After an unavoidable delay, Errands is back in active development! The 2.0.3 update, now available, adds initial support for alert notifications and also fixes several bugs. I am continuing to work on new features and enhanced functionality and plan to release updates frequently.
KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES
• The overall user interface is tastefully designed with careful attention to detail and functionality.
• Alert notifications (alarms) for tasks with due times, plus automatic updating of the app icon badge. Works even when Errands is not running (iOS 4 only). This is the initial support for alerts and more flexibility and options will be coming soon.
• Full support for folders, so you can organize your tasks to best suit your needs (for example, Work, Home, Errands). You can have as many folders as you wish and folder attributes (name, icon, checkbox) are fully customizable.
• A View button allows you to switch between normal view (4 tasks per screen) and condensed view (8 tasks per screen).
• Mail tasks (single tasks as well as entire folders).
• You can select from a built-in collection of stock images, choose a photo from your library, or take a new photo to customize your tasks.
• A unique feature allows notes to be viewed as a checklist. This is particularly handy for small shopping lists, multi-step tasks, etc.
• Tasks can be scheduled with a due date / time. There is a full range of repeating options.
• A convenient Recycle Bin allows you to easily create new tasks from previously completed entries. This is a big time-saver given that many tasks are things that are done again (and again). And saving data-bits from the virtual landfill makes you feel good!
• Tasks can be sorted by various schemes as well as arranged manually.
• Each task has a title along with separate detail and notes fields.
• Customize Errands to fit your tastes using the built-in Settings.
• Multitasking / Fast App Switching (iOS 4 only).
