Well, this has been a fairly slow process due to work and a laundry list of other things. But, in any case… I’m writing this for multiple reasons. The first is to let everyone know that someone has beaten me to releasing a Todoist application for the Android. Now, while I was slightly disheartened to find this out, I’m also glad to hear this since mine was taking so long. The name of this app is TodoistDroid and you can find their app on the Market. You can also find their site here.

Now, while I urge you all to go and check it out, I also hope that you all return to check out my app once it is completed. Better yet, I’d love it to hear your feedback once beta testing starts. I also hope that you all share the same feelings as I when I say that I’m not a fan for paying for apps. The TodoistDroid app has a “Lite” version and a “Regular” version. The latter of course costs money.

Now, while paying the money is surely justified, I don’t believe in it. This is why I will be releasing my application with only one version, which will be free. Their list of features and planned features are mostly composed of ideas that I’ve already had for my app (as well as a few they haven’t listed yet ). And lastly, I can’t say I liked their interface all that much. Now, while mine probably wont’ be 100% different (for the most part at least), I was planning to design everything around querying (main screen giving you your weekly list and that sort of thing).

That is why, I would love for you all to comment on how YOU use TODOIST. I would rather not design this for how I use it, as that may not be how everyone uses it. So please, in the comments section below, tell me about how you use it!

Now, on to the app. I’m running short on time at current, so I don’t have any screenshots for you today (Sorry! ). The login is working great, I have a support page where you can easily file bugs working, and the main section is able to display tasks. My first beta release will come before the end of the month and will show you a query of overdue items as well as items due in the next seven (7) days.

That is all for today, and please, tell me how you use TODOIST so I can design it around what you want to see
