Delicious to do as a manager or udelat Cultured Code [Program for the iPad]

Recently 2Do task manager became universal application and now includes a version for the iPad. The development of this software has been Guided Ways Technologies Ltd., a company known visitors AppStore primarily for user-friendly applications for contact management Groups, Conquered the wallets of many users an excellent interface and thoughtful management.

2Do will not disappoint fans of "tasty" interfaces. Quality texture of the skin and tissue, nice looking fonts, some themes already familiar from previous programs Company caramel bookmarks and comfortable layout of the elements, can not leave indifferent even the minimalists. Gloss it is not enough, but what lies beneath a beautiful wrapper, what a 2Do in their daily work?

Perhaps this application can not replace Things (Cultured Code) or OmniFocus. And with good reason, have 2Do simply no applications for the desktop environment. This is his weak and at the same time strong point. 2Do can synchronize with iCal on Mac or Outlook on a PC. Those who are accustomed to cloud services will appreciate the synchronization

Toodledo. You can create backups by means of a browser or a mailbox.

task management includes the already familiar from other managers tools. "Projects", "Checklists" ordinary "tasks" should be placed in the appropriate calendar, so the personal care will not overlap with the duties of the work. Each task or project can be provided with a lot of additional information. In addition to the usual timing, notes, time, tags, tasks can be assigned to a reminder in the form of SMS-messages, sound alerts to e-mail or via Push. Stick image or link, to add to the "task" a voice memo, note the place of performance on Google Maps. All this is done in a few tapov of windows create a task. Perhaps it is not only enough to automatically publish entries in twitter, does, and it's there.

Superbly animated recording voice notes

Tasks can be performed depending on the distance on the map

Actions can be pasted to a given task. Introduce a number or a contact from the Address Book in the "Call" in the future he will redirect 2Do number directly in to Skype.

In section Starred added tasks on which to focus immediately.

Not used at the present moment projects can be rolled into small strips

You can set each task one of the four priorities

There are ample opportunities of sorting according to the metadata, and the exact same ability to create smart calendars for a specified period on the basis of keywords. GTD-users will appreciate.

One needs only to briefly hold a finger on the record, appearing menu prompt action.

Any problem, you can delete, move, postpone or send to Twitter or to your mailbox.

2Do useful in both portrait and landscape orientation.

Like OmniFocus in the main window displays the calendar for the current month, which are lacking in the same Things.

Important tasks and projects it makes sense to protect from prying eyes with a password. To do this, you can create a calendar of special importance and make it private.

Settings are extensive, you name it.

Slider to change the screen backlight, though pleasant trifle? Use of the substrate under the controls - a great idea.

2Do developers are not only talented but also have a great sense of humor

Another proprietary feature of the application by Guided Ways Technologies on the iPad and the iPhone is the ability to drag and drop by Drag & Drop method task. One flick of the finger task checklist move to the current date or a new project. Simple and intuitive, and even drag the mouse will not have to.

2Do was found in the place and the so-called wow-effects typical in most cases for Apple products. So, one more thing ... - Soundex. During the search, among the tasks can get a place name or terms, writing that you do not remember exactly, that could seriously complicate the determination of the desired object. Soundex analyzes the specified text and displays the results in the consonant words.

At the beginning of this review I had said something that this application can not replace Things or OmniFocus. At first I wanted a good scold 2Do: "Well, again, twenty-five, the next task manager", but not there it was, by the end of this review, I came to the conclusion that the Things, both mobile and desktop remains far behind. The only thing that can stop you from going, so is the presence of the latter function People (add a team member), which is similar in 2Do yet.

With OmniFocus they are probably in different weight categories, the presence of a powerful client for Mac OS applications have omnigroup outweigh. Perhaps this is a very good solution if you are often on trips and organize their work around the iPad. Now for the not less important. Price, price, price. And here becomes quite interesting: Omnifocus: 79.95 $ (desktop) + 39.99 $ (ipad) = 119,94$, Things: 49.95 $ (desktop) + 9.99 $ (iPad) = 59.94$, 2Do = 6.99$ (IPad) + iCal (Outlook).
