Taskmator - TaskPaper Client

I couldn’t get this to run without crashing. Reinstallation didn’t help. Gave up for a while. Very difficult and s l o w to get support. Author uses Facebook as support contact; yuck; I prefer not yo go there. Finally got a message from dev via developer response on App Store so I tried app again. This time I manually deleted all associated folders on Dropbox and created new ones, and pointed the app ther after reauthorizing DB access. Now it works. Still not happy with support options though. Using it in iOS 11 on iPhone 8+.

I was slow to accept TaskMator because of its visual paradigm. When I make a task list on paper, each item has a check box and I check that when it’s done. If I strike through the task, it means I decided against it - decided the task wasn’t a priority. TaskMator, like other TaskPaper apps, strikes through completed tasks, which makes less sense to me and makes my record of completed work harder to read. TaskMator just works so well that it won me over anyway. It’s simple, easy, reliable, synchronized across all my devices, and the tagging mechanism makes it easy to filter my lists to see what I want - quicker and easier in most cases than a “real database” app. I use TaskMator not just for task tracking, but for other lists like groceries, packing lists, and items I am collecting. It’s one of my most-used apps.

There is far more under the hood than the pictures let on. This app does exactly what I wanted (lists, outlines, tasks, notes). And it does it simply and in style. All your hard work is much appreciated. The followers that like Taskmator REALLY like Taskmator, and users' opinions influenced me to try. One more thing. I'm someone who's got no clue how to use markdown and these styling languages. Doesn't hinder me one bit in using the app the ways I intended

This is a really well reviewed app. I've read tons of good things about it. Problem is I find it disappointing to use. I know there is a manual, but I know taskpaper's format by heart. I just doesn't flow for me. The real pain is the lack of iCloud support (the days of DropBox ubiquity are over). Still, the integration with Reminders is impressive. The swipe to complete is a great idea. The best part is that it's all plain text at the core; you're never locked into the app. All in all, I have high hopes for the future. I'm looking forward to see what comes.

This app is working great for me. The Tips section has been very useful to me in finding all the tricks to make this app pretty fun to use, developer comes up with clever gestures that aren’t always obvious but once you get them they’re great. Also in the Tips there’s a detailed description of how to fix Dropbox issues, this solved all my crashing issues.
