I have enjoyed using this app for the last several weeks.  I created a recurring task in the Google interface and then later deleted it.  However, though it no longer appears there, it continues to appear in the Full Screen interface. I access the interface on two computers and have a GTasks app on my phone which also accesses Google Tasks. I have deleted it in each of the instances, but it appears that it is stuck somewhere in the system bouncing between the apps mistakenly thinking it needs to be regenerated after deleted.

Thoughts?

Did you delete it or did you check it off? (these two have different meanings) 

In general, this app should list the same tasks as showing in the official google app (e.g. the gmail sidebar). If you find the list is different on a side by side comparison, you could upload a screenshot here.

I deleted it (in all of the instances).  Here is a screenshot that shows the taskbar in Google simultaneously with the Full Screen app.  Notice the two recurring tasks (which are actually the same, now a new instance has shown up) that are only visible in the Full Screen app.

Thanks! I'll try to find out where the problem is. 

If you reload the app, I assume these tasks will disappear?

It had been over a week with the tasks continually showing up, but finally they stopped in the last couple of days.  I'm not sure if there was an update made, or if I finally just deleted them enough times in the different instances.  So for now, problem solved...

Yes I pushed out a new patch, but I wasn't sure if it fixed your problem. The patch I made was meant to fix an issue similar to yours but disappear on reload, and I didn't know if you issue used to disappear on reload.

Anyway, if the problem comes up again please let me know. Thanks!
