Make the Android app as pretty as the Apple version, thanks.
The apple version looks so much neater and cleaner. Any chance of refining the Android version.
Also, some improvement in task functionality would be great. I have seen a few ideas here, but in summary: -
Collapsible/expandable nested task levels - simple tree view most important
User-configurable/savable VIEW presets for task agenda display: -
- Custom view sort order, with 2-3 criteria
- Custom filter settings, with various criteria
- Custom calendar selection
- Custom grouping sections (eg Today, Tomorrow, Next Week)
Task categories
Start date that signifies task is in motion/active, with reminder
Task postponement/snooze once deadline is past
Any or all would be most appreciated!
Cheers,
Cass.

Now hopefully it will slowly thrilling concerning the revised design.
I look forward to the update. -
I will try to release the new design in the next few weeks.

Hi, sorry, tried to add this as a new idea, but for some reason I could not do it. So, hope you don't mind, but I added it here.
So many task managers seem to miss. It is an idea to have, in the parent node of any group of tasks, an indication that shows completeness of the group of child task-nodes beneath. This can be in the form of both number of tasks and percentage, like '3/5 Tasks - 60% Completed', or even displayed as a bar graph if you want sophistication. This can be displayed at the following points in the hierarchy of tasks: -
All Tasks [12/20 Tasks - 60%]
> List 1 [7/10 - 70%]
>> Task 1.1 [5/8 - 62.5%]
>>> Task 1.1.1 (c)
>>> Task 1.1.2 (c)
>>> Task 1.1.3 [3/5 - 60%]
>>>> Task 1.1.3.1 (c)
>>>> Task 1.1.3.2 (c)
>>>> Task 1.1.3.3
>>>> Task 1.1.3.4 (c)
>> Task 1.2 (c) [2/2 - 100%]
>> Task 1.2.1 (c)
>> Task 1.3
> List 2 [5/10 Tasks - 50%]
>> Task 2.1 [5/9 Tasks - 55.5%]
>>> Task 2.1.1
>>> Task 2.1.2
>>> Task 2.1.3 (c) - [5/5 Tasks - 100%]
>>>> Task 2.1.3.1 (c)
>>>> Task 2.1.3.2 (c)
>>>> Task 2.1.3.3 (c)
>>>> Task 2.1.3.4 (c)
>>> Task 2.1.4
>> Task 2.2Basically, by simply adding up counts of completed tasks, and showing a percentage at each parent node in the hierarchy, you really can get an overall feel of how well you are doing, without expanding the child nodes. If you were really keen, this completeness could also be at the top of each custom view of tasks displayed. For example, if you show all tasks for the Day or Week, it can show percentage of tasks completed in that time frame.
Having a good task manager that is an integral part of the calendar would really set Calengoo apart, especially now so many ex-Astrid users are looking for alternatives.
Hope it all helps,
Cass. -

Thank you for the reply. I am sure you are already on to it, but I guess the way to do the tasks is to pull the task information from Google into your own database (rather than text additions to the field titles and comments), where you can have all the additional fields you want (like start-date, view settings, categories, preferences), and only sync with Google whatever it has (essentially title, notes, order, nesting and completed status). I have added another suggestion too that really would make the tasks easily into a better time planner...

Thank you for your suggestions! And I am glad that you like the new iOS design! It is planned to add a similar design to the Android version soon, too!
