Hi
Do you have any plans for enhancements regarding iOS reminders?
Support for sub-tasks and control over how reminders without a due date would be amazing.
Thanks

Sub tasks are something we have been considering, what options would you like to see for floating reminders? (tasks without a due date).

Regards
John

Hi yes subtasks and the main task seem to be an issue for you at the moment.
I think a good start for floating/ no date tasks would be a simple setting to not show them on the current day until a date is set.
Thanks

Where then would floating tasks appear?

I’m not sure how they can appear in a date driven app like this.
They are things that might get done at some point in the future but there is no indication as to when that might be.
So I would either show them as presently on the current date or allow the user to not display them until a date is set via the task edit screen.
The issue is similar with sub tasks as they don’t have their own date and Apple haven’t provided the functionality to add them.
Does this help?

It gives me something to think about at least. :)

I have double checked the API that Apple provides for reminders, the API for sub tasks has not been made available. I will follow up with them and see what can be done, if anything.
