Almost the exact app I want- thoughts and notes

Dear developer,

I love this app, it is almost everything I want. I have some issues and a few suggestions that I think would make it better:

I like to use the app not only as a daily/weekly to do list, but I also would like a place to put monthly to dos. (Essentially a very, very simple goal tracker, no percentage, no charts). As a workaround, I like to put my monthly to do’s on the first day of each month. Which works for me. (The only issue is if I add to do’s to a date that has passed, they post with an exclamation point at the end).

I would like the freedom to rearrange (drag and drop, ideally) the entered items within any day so that I can organize my list however I choose (it sorts alphabetically). My workaround for this is using numbers at the front of each entry, or symbols like *, -, :.
Personally, I wouldn’t want a tiny up or down arrow sorter on each line, seems hard to use. Maybe within the edit field on an item there can be the option, ‘move this item up or down ___ spaces’ and you can enter the number of lines you’d like the entry to drop down. I don’t know.

Also, I cannot get the repeat function to work. If I try to use it, a circle with an arrow comes at the end of the entry, but the entry does not auto populate to the next week, (or whichever repeating interval).

Lastly, I would add more colors to the highlight options.

Thank you for making this app!

Much Better Than. A Do List

I typically have a long Do List, which becomes overwhelming. Breaking those items into 2-4 per day is a much better approach because I can sequence the tasks. I have tried doing that in my regular calendar app, but it gets messy. I also like the way you can easily cross off completed items because it gives you a sense of accomplishment as opposed to just deleting them from your Do List. Great app!!

I Have A Question!

I downloaded this app because I like the layout very much. It’s great to be able to see each day of the week and type in what I need to do for each day. What I do not like is that this app links to the reminder app on my iPhone instead of being able to just use that app independently. When I use DoWeek, the reminders I type come up in the reminder app instead of the DoWeek app. I stopped using the reminder app for quite a while now, and thought this app would be a great replacement. Is there a way for DoWeek to please be used independently as an option so as not to have everything come up in the reminder app? I would prefer if DoWeek can just give a widget that I can check. I don’t like like having to go back to the reminder app again. I thought about deleting this app, but decided first to ask you about making this change. Please & thank you.

Developer Response ,

In the next update the alarm notifications from the iOS reminders app will be turned off by default. If you wish, you can switch it on per task. You really can use it as an individual app, the tasks are just stored as a reminder, because of the iCloud integration.
