Iphone app: Recurring Tasks 3
Do you have trouble keeping track of all the things you have to do?
Do you wish someone reminded you when it’s time to change the sheets, make a dentist appointment or renew your subscriptions?
If so, this Recurring Tasks (RT) app might be just the thing for you! RT helps you keep track of when you did what last and reminds you when you should be doing it again.
FEATURES:
- Search functionality to find tasks quickly
- Color indicators for a quick overview
- Tasks ordered by what you should do first
- Add a note to your accomplished task
- Date when you should complete the task again automatically calculated for you
- Choose how frequent you want to perform each task individually (how many days/weeks/months/years)
- Choose when you want to be reminded of doing each task individually (how many days/weeks/months/years in front of the due date)
- Switch reminder functionality on or off for each task individually
- Choose at what time of the day that you want to see the reminder for each task individually
- A complete history of when you did what (dates + notes) for each task individually
Follow the easy 3-step process in the user guide (part of the info screen) to get started!

I was hoping this would be what I was looking for, and while it’s a great start it doesn’t quite do what I need.
Bugs –
When I add in a new task, put in a task name and set the date to in the past for when it was last done and hit the save button all my tasks are saved with the name “null” (if the last done date is today it’s fine)
Suggestions for improvement –
- it’s not clear how to set the timings and reminder options on each task, I would suggest that it’s part of the original input screen for that task even if you have to scroll or perhaps a two step process to add in
- it’s also not clear how to mark a task as completed today, a check box next to the task name would be more intuitive

Hello Kersti,
Can you tell me what kind of iPhone you are using (3G, 3GS, 4, 4S) and which iOS (4, 5)?
I’ve tried to recreate the bug you mention, but I can’t seem to get the ‘null’ result that you get …
I do agree with you that it could be made easier to mark a task as completed, I will look into this for a next update.
I also understand why it could be confusing that you have to set the timing on a separate screen, yet I’m not quite sure on how to make this more user friendly, but I’ll def think about it!

I’m on a 3GS with the latest iOS
If you had the timings on the same screen or you immediately took someone to that screen on adding in their item then it would make more sense
