Errands To-Do List
Errands To-Do List by Yoctoville is a very productive productivity app! 
It can be used as a task manager with its folders, checklists, scheduling, alerts, and much, much more! I must say that many of the “list” apps out there get way too confusing for me. Honestly, I’m more of a post-it-note-girl. I like it clear-cut and simple. However, my numerous post-its that lie all over the place is not very efficient! I’ve tried out a bunch of list-apps, and never found one I could stick to. Errands To-Do List has been working for me for a while now. I will say that it is very detailed – a little too much for my taste, but maybe that’s a good thing. The folders-section made me feel overwhelmed, so don’t let it be your focus when you’re first starting to use this app. The first thing I did was “uncheck” all the folders, except “home” and “work”. I then added one additional folder titled “wedding”. Doing that just made this very detailed app, a little less overwhelming to me. I then simply began adding tasks I need to get done. This part was nice. It is set up very well and covers all the bases! When adding a new task, you need to give it a title; you also have an optional feature to add details. Since I’m planning a wedding, the first task I added was titled “White’s Florist”. I added details that said, “Bring signed contract and check for the deposit.” There was also a place where I could add additional notes. I used that section, too. The note in was a reminder to ask my florist about adding five extra boutonnières. I then checked that I wanted to add it to my “wedding” folder. Errands To-Do List does give many more options for editing a task, but they are all optional. They include options like what type of a priority you want that task to be between: none, low, medium or high. You can star a task, give it a due date/time and even give it an alert to remind you of this task. Errands To-Do List is extremely efficient.
All in all, I love Errands To-Do List for two core reasons. One being the simple layout and the other being the fact that it can be used for the detailed listing guru or the post-it-noter, like me! I am proud to say since downloading Errands To-Do List, I’ve lowered my post-it usage by about 60%! That’s impressive for me!
iTunes lists Errands To-Do List’s features as such:
- The overall user interface is tastefully designed with careful attention to detail and functionality.
- A universal app with full support for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
- Full support for iCloud sync (Premium). This allows you to keep Errands in sync on multiple iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad).
- Alerts (reminders) for tasks, with choice of sound and several repeat options. Plus automatic updating of the app icon badge. Both of these work even when Errands is not actively running.
- Customizable folders, so you can organize your tasks to best suit your needs (for example, Work, Home, Errands). You can have as many folders as you wish and folder attributes (name, icon, checkbox) are fully customizable.
- A Focus Folder which is based on a “star” system. You can toggle the “star” state for any task by tapping on the star icon. When a task comes due it will be auto-starred. This makes the Focus Folder very useful for quickly glancing at what you need to do NOW. The badge icon will reflect the number of tasks in the Focus Folder, keeping you up-to-date on what tasks need attention.
- A monthly calendar view for tasks with due dates. To access it, tap on the calendar icon on the bottom toolbar. The calendar displays items based on the current folder you are in. To see all tasks, choose the calendar from the All Tasks folder.
- View options allow you to switch between normal view (4 tasks per screen) and condensed view (8 tasks per screen).
- Mail tasks (single tasks as well as entire folders).
- You can select from a built-in collection of image icons, choose a photo from your library, or take a new photo to customize your tasks.
- A unique feature allows notes to be viewed as a checklist. This is particularly handy for small shopping lists, multi-step tasks, etc.
- Tasks can be scheduled with a due date / time. There is a full range of repeating options.
- A convenient Recycle Bin allows you to easily create new tasks from previously completed entries. This is a big time-saver given that many tasks are things that are done again (and again). And saving data-bits from the virtual landfill makes you feel good!
- Tasks can be sorted by various schemes as well as arranged manually.
- Each task has a title along with separate detail and notes fields.
- Customize Errands to fit your tastes using the in-app Settings.
