Weekday, recurrence, reminder - how they behave in regards to Weekplan
A recent user has asked a question about the behavior of the day selection, recurrences, reminders of an action. I'll bring the reply text partially here as it will probably be very helpful to others as well.
First, there was a simple 'Week view' for which you could set
an action. If you set a day on an action, it will be shown on that day
in the Week plan. If you don't, it would be shown on the 'Not set'
section. The quadrants filter filter by this day - it checks for exact value of this property of an action set.
Then
there came the recurrences - from simple ones like once a week to a
little more complex, like several weekdays. This new functionality has
to be merged with the previous 'day' selection. And it took priority
over the weekday set. I.e., if you have both, the recurrence will be
taken into account on the Weekplan page - the action will be shown for
each recurring day, and ignore the day set. The problem here is - the
filter on the FTF/Actions pages still works with the old day setting.
This is definitely a bug (or, rather a not updated functionality), so
we'll fix it soon.
Also, there's a third feature that
is related - reminders. Up until recently we had only one-shoot
reminders. Recently we've added the reminder type 'On recurrence days'.
From its name you could have guessed that it fires on the days the
action is to be shown. Every day it takes today's actions and schedules
reminders for those that have a reminder set. And by 'today's actions' I mean those that are shown on the Week plan by the logic described above.
Again,
since the system has been evolving, not everything finished - we are
working on that. Hope the logic is clearer and more helpful now.

Notes section broken on many devices
Sorry for that! Haven't really noticed that until one of the users pointed to it in his review in the Play Store review.
The problem with the crash visibility was in that it was similar to one of the crashes fixed long ago, and in the developer console we've marked it as 'hidden'. Thus, we haven't seen the great number of reports from you. We've already fixed it, will roll out the fix now!
If you have any issues, suggestions or just want to thank the developers, do not hesitate to use the Play Store reviews - it, along with email at ksasdk-at-gmail.com, is the most visible way of notifying us of important things! We've even added a special button in the navigation menu called 'Improve the app!' which leads you straight to the store.

Done occurrences of recurring actions
You can now see when did you do an action that is a recurring action. For that, click on the 'done count' panel on the Action page.
I use infinitely recurring action for one of my actions: from some point of my life I've understood that I have to keep a good shape (or, at least I have to try). So, I started to do morning workouts relatively regularly. And our app became a helper in that.
First, I've set a recurring action 'do morning workout', set its occurrences to be on every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. And tried to adhere to it. It is really hard some times and I don't do extensive work outs - if I feel like skipping it, I do a very light one. Important, I think, is to build a habit of doing the morning workouts. I've read somewhere that good habits are good!
Then, the 'On recurrence days' reminder came into help - it reminds me every morning. On the picture above it's reset because I play with it time to time.
And now I can review not only the general amount of workouts done, but the exact days, too. The page is minimalist at the moment, will work on enriching it with useful info. And the suggestions would be great!
Enjoy!
