"Task Fields" settings doesn't have entry for "Star". Since I'm not
using stars, I would like to uncheck stars.

"Task Fields" does let you check "Status". But whether checked or
unchecked, no status appears in task list.

No option to for "Status" on Summary screen.

Archived folders are shown. Shouldn't be.

I'm mainly managing my tasks using a combination of context and
status, so I'll need better status support before I can really give
this a whirl.

The app looks pretty. I'm eager to try it some more when status
support is implemented.

Hey David,

1. Adding an option to remove the star can be done. I'll add it to my
todo list
2. The "Task Fields" checkboxes only affect what is shown on the
taskDetails page, so it is working by showing and not showing status
on that page. From what it sounds you maybe want it to show the status
in the "task List" view, where you can scroll up and down through all
the tasks?
3. So, you want a "Status" button on the summary screen, alongside the
folders, contexts, due dates etc...? I can add this to my todo list
4. Others have mentioned this, and I will fix it (easy fix)

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't understand the Fields/Details
thing.

Yes, my preference would be to be able to show status in the list, in
a manner akin to how priority is currently showing. My preference
would also be to *not* show priority, since I'm basically using status
instead of that.

I'm sure everyone has slightly different preferences, so you'll have
to
decide how to strike the best balance between UI/settings simplicity
(like right now, where you have just two list view options) vs
customizability.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I just noticed the default page isn’t working. I have it set to
context but the app starts in summary. Could you also add a default
priority setting? I like everything to go in as “medium” since that’s
the default in Outlook.

I’d also like to auto-capitalize the first letter in a field.

And to recap items from my last email, please add an alpha sort in
context view, as well as a due date then alpha sort at the task level.

The adding and editing of items worked fine. I also confirmed
repeating items are working correctly.

Nice work on everything. I’m very pleased with this app.
