Some changes to come

We are thinking of adding some ads to a limited number of screens or a subscription for some advanced features in the coming versions of the app. Ads look ugly usually, so subscription is probably the way to go, but in the beginning ads will do. We'll try to make them the least annoying possible.

This will be done not to simply make money, but mainly to try to find some way of motivation for the further development of the app. It still lacks many wanted features, but we don't have resources to develop it - during the last half a year I was so busy with other things, that there was no single update of the app and we even got letters from some of you asking if everything is ok :). Thank you, by the way - it was really touching!

The app helps to solve the problem of being unproductive to a degree and thus gives little motivation to put aside other life problems and invest time and effort into it. 

If the model comes to be livable, than we'll be able to devote more time and advance it. If not, we'll revert the 'monetization' attempt and leave the app as-is, but with little to no improvements probably. 

Change role and filter by 'this week' actions

Have pushed two new features to the Play Store: ability to change the role of a goal and an additional day-filter 'this week'.

'Change role' has been asked for many times, it's pretty simple and easy to use, and it does what it says - if, at some point, you decide to split a role and move some goals to a newly created one. Or, just move a goal to a more appropriate one, then use the menu on the goal page.

The 'This week' actions filter let's you see actions that are either recurrent and their recurrence falls into this week, or those that have their date set to an exact calendar day and that date also falls into the current week.

The plan is to help one have a better overall view of the actions to do and improve his/her planning. There are more ideas how to further develop this, stay tuned. And, enjoy!

'Filter by day' on the FTF/Actions pages continued

We've updated the logic with the recent update. Now all the 'day' filters, like 'Today', 'Tomorrow, a calendar day - all include recurring actions if those actions' recurrences fall on this day.

E.g., a 'Once a day' action would be seen every day. 'Once until done', too (though there may be a small bug with this one).

We also see bug reports in our developer console after this update, but can't identify the exact problem. So, if you know the steps to reproduce it, would be really helpful for us if you wrote about it here in comments or at our email. The problem is with FTF widget, probably, but we are not sure 100%.

Upd.: we found the reason for the bug, will push the fix soon.

'Filter by day' on the FTF/Actions pages

We've started changing the logic for the day-filtering on the First Things First and Actions pages (and eventually the corresponding filters). Take a look at the screenshots below.

 

This is just the first part of the work, eventually we want to have a more natural and, at the same time, comprehensive system for actions daily planning.
